Ashby's Deli Cafe in Kirklees

Went with a group of friends to Ashby's as in the area playing golf. Saw reviews and menu on line, messaged ahead and table was reserved for us. Large free car park round the corner. Nice welcome by friendly staff, cafe quite busy so pleased table was waiting for us. Good selection of breakfast choice on the menu, all went for Full English which was very tasty. Reasonably priced cafe. Will certainly be returning if in the area again.

Stopped in for a lovely lunch on our way east. I tried the special which was a delicious chicken wrap, lightly spiced, well toasted and garnished with a tasty salad. Really enjoyed the coffee too, so pop in a grab a cup of joe if you’re passing! Slightly envious of all the framed ticket stubs in the rest room - some amazing gigs the owner has been to!

A lovely cafe with good food well prepared and presented by very nice stall who really look after you at all times .will be back.

Lovely food everytime we have visited. The place is very busy every day which shows the food is good 👍 Staff are always crazy busy but make sure you are well looked after, I would certainly recommended the place for takeaway or eat in 👍

It was a cold wet Saturday morning in Slaithwaite and I was suffering from a killer hangover. I lay, fully clothed and still in last nights trainers under my hungarian goose Feather quilt. I could barely move. As I wallowed in self pity I could hear the rumble of my stomach like an old tumble dryer in a small, silent house. I was afraid. I patiently waited for my inevitable death watching the hands on the clock, the seconds feeling like minutes, the minutes feeling like hours and no rescue in sight. As the hours passed by the sun moved West. light made it's way through a crack in the curtain and beamed on my flesh, Jesus was coming. As I reached full stretch for the last remaining droplets of water from a bottle of strawberry volvic there was BANG followed by a scream, then deafening silence. I had fallen out of bed, I had fallen from the beam of light that was inevitably going to guide me up to the Lord and forgive me of my sins. Mustering the courage to lift my head, I gazed confusingly at the bedroom clock; both hands pointing to the Lord. It was mid day. I lay face down on the floor, a shell of the man I once was. I reflected on the victories of my short life and lay faceplanted in regret of the wrongdoing I have caused this world. The stomach rumbled on.... As saliva seeped from the corner of my mouth I drew breath and fought against the tide with all my strength entering the fetal position. I rolled down the stairs to the front door, reaching for the keys. I opened the front door and was immediately hit by the fierce Yorkshire wind. I rolled down the street before smashing into a dry stone wall. Using my arms I fought against the wind and the odds, lifting myself to my feet. I removed a patch of wet grass from my forehead and staggered down to the village before falling face first into the wonderful grey door of Ashbys Deli Cafe. I was safe. Stood before me at the entrance was a beautiful brunette with the stunning pearly white smile of a Hollywood actress. As I fought back the emotions of love I wiped the remaining saliva from my chin. She sat me down. A caring and younger blonde lady approached me and took my drinks order. I had an orange juice, an apple juice and a San pelligrino lemon (or a Tory Fanta as I like to call it). The drinks came swiftly and as I inhaled the fresh juices I began to feel the flowers of my digestive system blossoming once more. I was alive! The menu was varied. My eyes rolled from side to side as I weaved from breakfast, to paninis, burgers and everything else. I contemplated... The lady approached. I stayed loyal to my Ashbys tradition and went with the hot beef sop. The stomach rumbled. My eyes followed these glamorous ladies around the room as they danced from table to table providing a seamless service to all clients in the most elegant and effortless way. I checked my pulse. The young blonde lady disappeared, I could feel the blood in my viens. This is the moment. This has to be the moment.... My legs tensed. She reappeared from the kitchen, plate in hand and made her way towards me. As my smile began to curl she placed a hot plate on my table. Behold, a hot roast beef an onion gravy butty on a large granary muffin. A side of the biggest, crispy wedges and a seperate jug of onion gravy. I pinched myself. "have I entered through the gates of heaven?" I asked. The young girl placed her hand on my shoulder and offered me both reassurance and condiments. I reached for the knife and fork. Using the knife like a paperweight I stabbed my fork into the muffin and ripped part of the sandwich away before scooping up and placing into my mouth. I sat alone, close to orgasm as I shook in my chair, rattling the table as the couple across the room gazed over in concerning fashion. I glanced at the wedges and immediately knew my process. I was going to demolish these elegantly in fondue style. I gripped one of the wedges with my hand and dipped it fully into the side jug of gravy, I bit the dipped side and ripped away. The crisp of the skin on wedges, the soft fluffy potato inside and worlds best gravy created an explosion of both flavour and happiness. I exhaled. This excellent creation before me, I continued this onslaught until the plate was clean. I rose from my chair, looked into the beautiful eyes of the checkout girl as I paid contactless with my Nationwide visa. I thanked them for their sterling efforts and confirmed that I would be back. I felt untouchable in this morning. For I had died but through the power of Ashbys Deli Cafe against all odds I had risen and I will come again.

Booked a table for 11:30, took order immediately still not served by 12:15 we had to leave as we had to go somewhere, seemed to have loads of takeaways going out rather than concentrating on sit in customers. This place used to be good, won't be going again! The people on the table next to us waited an hour, and another lady walked out. Unless you have all afternoon I wouldn't bother.

Great food and friendly staff. Food was very fresh and quickly served. Good menu. Very clean cafe. 😊

The menu was comprehensive, the service was very good and the quality was excellent. I would highly commend to those who appreciate the difference between good quality simple food well cooked rather than cheap processed ’fast food’ pay your money, make your choice !

Very small, breakfast ok but completely overpriced. Told where to sit like being a school not many smiling welcoming faces, chef looked miserable or maybe angry

Visited many times but in this occasion I arrived at 1200 noon and was told to sit down (very forward if not rude). Eventually the waitress came over to take my order . I ordered a breakfast and she said “ we stop doing breakfast at 12.. I looked at the time it was 1203. I asked politely if it was possible.. “ not a chance “ was her reply. I got a sandwich and I’ve never been back since. What type of venue turns money away? A little tin pot hitler indeed.

What a find - spending time waiting to catch a train and found Ashby’s deli. Really attractive decor and friendly welcome. The toasted tea cake was awesome and a very good selection of indulgent cakes - the Malteaser brownie was great. Highly Recommend and would definitely return.

The temptation to get rid of any old cooked chicken just before closing time isn't really an excuse.

Call once or twice a week-caters for all tastes and breakfasts are excellent- always a warm welcome-served by friendly and efficient staff

Waiting for MOT nearby, this cafe offered refuge and refreshment at just the right moment. Friendly service, tables all clean, waffles to go, what more could you want? Well the view down the street is outstanding and made the visit memorable. Great food - waffle with fruit and white chocolate drizzle with coffee fully recommended. Useful gift shop within cafe too.

Came here with my gf first time, ordered club sandwich and she had beef and blue sandwich decided of course to split. Food was fast hot and extremely tasty, lovely cozy cafe with very friendly people working there. Highly recommend this little gem.

Fantastic place, great staff, huge menu… what Is not to like? Highly recommended for lunch, not sure if it’s open late afternoon but looks like they have a good beer selection in bottles and cans also on display Give it a go ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food is good , waitresses Ella I think she is called, glasses, good looking best waitresses never stops the breakfast is good,ultimate club sandwich really good. Latte ok , not as good as it was changed coffee.

A small deli-cafe with a good menu giving us a difficult choice. We eventually chose a panini and chips. Both made to order. Service was friendly and swift. The cafe was clean Covid safe. There is a bakery with lovely looking bread and cakes. Looking forward to returning. Recommend

I'm a regular here. It does everything well, not outstanding but hey, it's a tough market. I would recommend their beef sop & wedges. Now that is good.

Went for lunch. Had the veggie breakfast which was pretty standard. Quorn sausages - not the most exciting of veggie sausages but they're OK. The scrambled egg was standard - not as soft as I would like. The main complaint would be that it comes...

graet toasted sandwiches, absolutely stufed with yummy chicken, bacon etc make this a place to return to. Good coffee too!

Please change the coffee back I was in there on Tuesday this week as I normally am ,the staff normally very friendly but this week not all staff there wash a little rushed , we ordered a latte, it was dreadful. The food wasvery good...

Went for breakfast yesterday with my in-laws. Lovely welcome on arrival, seated straight away. The staff were lovely and friendly. The coffee is lovely and the eggs benedict and full english breakfast was amazing. Best breakfast we have had for ages. Will definitely be coming...

We hired Ashbys to cater our wedding of 80 people last month, including vegan and vegetarian requirements. We could not have been happier with the food or the service. The buffet was delivered and set up on the day as arranged before hand. The quality...

Tasty food and coffee with nice environment and friendly staff. Wide range of sandwiches / wraps / paninis as well as hot drinks.

I was outraged. To see see an Ashby business with such a low standard meal infuriated me, shaking me to my core. This below bog standard experience has lead me to feel an undying passion for the demise of this rodent infested establishment in which i intend to shut down with my da martin Mucklowe. I love working with my da as i get to be with him every day whilst splashing a bit of cash (hence the thread work you saw displayed on my OFFICIAL English merchandise). You'd better watch out for the nasty lot from Credington....

Went for lunch after booking a table online. Covid precautions are the best we have seen, staff were meticulous in sanitising EVERYTHING. We were very impressed. The food was good & presented well. Accommodating changes I requested without fuss & noting allergies. Highly recommended.

Visited here last Tuesday with a friend. We had to wait for a table so gave our name and number over and the team contacted us when a table came free whilst we looked round the village. The food was excellent, the burgers were great...

This cafe is a real gem. I have visited it a few times the food is excellent. On my latest visit today both my Sister In Law and I had the eggs Benedict which we had a few weeks ago, it was just as delicious...

Best and hottest coffee in the area, first went because it opened at 8, food was fantastic be back soon.

We were visiting the area for the 1st time, & visited Ashbys for brunch. Quick, friendly service, varied menu and delicious food, couldn't ask for anything else. Great find, would highly recommend!

Still the best breakfast... everyday of my working year. Great food, great people. Thank you guys xx

I ordered 3 breakfast sandwiches, a spam and egg, a sausage, and a sausage spam egg and mushroom. I collected them and they were ready on time so no problem there. On getting home the bags were marked up "s" for sausage, "s, spam, e,...

Good value hot drinks and sandwiches for a snack lunch. Also plenty of menu choices eg burgers, panini's etc. Also a takeaway feature is available. Ashbys is very popular in a village with many good places to eat. Good service and reasonable prices

Tis the season to be jolly but not about this expensive turkey teacake. At £5.50 I would have expected a lovely bread to match the delicious, and it was delicious, turkey. Alas no. A small dish of cranberry sauce was accompanied by a helping of gravy. The whole offering was just sadly let down by a very mundane, dull teacake. Shame. Maybe I should drop in a loaf or two of Ho Ho Hovis...

Highly recommended, we live in the village so have been several times now and the food is always excellent. The staff are also excellent and very helpful.

Visited today for breakfast, gorgeous eggs Benedict and breakfast wrap. Very good quality and Will definitely return!

Had a lovely lunch today with 2 friends, me and 2 dogs. Lovely service with a smile and the food was delicious! Burger was fresh and definitely home made! Would have it again.. Next time we are local I’ll definitely be going back.

Fantastically friendly service today (Saturday 17th Aug) from a girl with a nose ring. The ham and cheese toastie was probably the nicest I’ve ever had, and great fries too. Prices are really reasonable and there's lots of magazines to browse while you eat

This is the first time I have visited. The breakfast was delicious and served beautifully. What let down the visit was the abrupt and disinterested manner of the young lady who served us

Having only recently discovered Ashby’s, this is my third visit for lunch. I lunch with friends who have food allergies. Let me tell you, nothing is too much trouble for the staff here. They are very well trained and understand the potential ramifications for customers with allergies, should their food not be safe to eat. The staff are very understanding and considerate of their customers.

Recently, we've been bored with the cafe offerings near to us...

I go here every week as a treat to myself. I live in the village, which boasts more places to eat than shops (at least that's how it feels) but Ashby's stands out as original and different. Sometimes difficult to get a seat, but you can pop out and do some shopping and call back and the always attentive and helpful staff will have found you one by the time you get back. The menu is varied and well priced, a gourmet sandwich or fullness is well within reach of most pockets.

Friendly little deli café and takeaway in the centre of Slaithwaite. Have eaten lunch there several times and always been well pleased. I particularly enjoy the Mediterranean meze, tasty and great value. Mouthwatering selection of cakes too, plus good coffee. Service is quick and attentive. No outside seating but cosy and pleasant decor inside. It can be pretty busy at lunchtime (always a good sign!)

Took a little time to arrive but was well worth it as it had obviously all been freshly cooked and was really well presented, delicious and great value for money. Would highly recommend for breakfast and I expect other food is good too as it’s very apparent that the chef/owner cares about the food!

Good breakfast and coffee to start the day. Amazing value for the amount of food you get and good quality. Nicely decorated in a lovely little village.

Yes, welcome to Slaithwaite, Ashby's. we've been four or five times now, and apart from being compact, it's a very nice place to spend an hour. Prices are great, staff are nice. Service is swift. Lovely.

Great spot for breakfast or lunch, everthing well done, have had the entire menu, and if close to luch will sample one of the fine beers on offer. Great place to go after grocery shopping at Aldi.

Hard to find a little cafe with a big menu, but Ashby’s is one of those. They serve for me great freshly cook meals. The team who work there are friendly and ensure everything is “Just Right” and the Chefs prides themselves on presentation.

Met with a friend for lunch & thoroughly enjoyed it. Plenty of choice of food, which was well presented & delicious, efficient friendly staff & the best ever coffee we have had!

It was busy, but I don’t think it should take over 45 minutes to serve up a full english, and a sausage and egg sandwich. Wouldn’t have minded if both weren’t entirely average when they arrived - but sadly the bacon looked like it was processed and was quite tasteless, as were the sausages. We could see that the bread was bought from the adjacent Aldi so the precedent for anything else being bought there is set. Maybe not. Won’t be back though. We got an apology for the wait when paying, but it would’ve been better coming whilst we were waiting, with maybe an offer to take a second drinks order - but neither came.

Visited on Tuesday lunchtime and it was packed. It’s always been busy in there when I’ve been and rightly so. However, we did manage to get a table straight away as there was only two of us. Every time I’ve been the service has been very attentive and friendly. The food is always piping hot and very tasty. Always fresh and very enjoyable. Staff are always happy to help. Extremely well priced for the centre, and very happy to pay it. Lovely food and a lovely atmosphere. It will continue to be on my radar for any future lunches out.

A fantastic cafe, cosy and welcoming. Great service from friendly staff, delicious sandwiches & fries and a perfect gingerbread latte. Looking forward to visiting again.

Went to Asbys for breakfast this morning. Was my husband's first trip out for several weeks following a serious illness. Have been many times before and always had a good experience. Today having ordered our food we were asked to move tables to a smaller table that could barely accommodate 1 person see pic. When I indicated that o would rather not move I was still asked and told better to move before the food came.

A little cramped but pleasant servers and good food. My pet hate with many cafe's is the high prices charged for tea and coffee. Need to take a leaf out of Wetherspoons book on drinks prices.

We went for brunch, this was a busy café / deli with a takeaway section. I had a lovely goats cheese ciabatta, extensive menu and is also licenced. Good service, will definitely go again

First visit to this wonderful Deli. Great food beautifully presented and pleasant staff. Will definitely go again.

We have been as a family for the last three weekends here. We go to the supermarket next door then here for the breakfast. I'm not kidding its the best around here by miles. We live in Holmfirth but come over to eat here. Great value. Great food and great service! Well done

Been here a few times and decided on Sunday morning we would take our friends for breakfast. The food was outstanding and I can highly recommend the crumpet tower. Staff were brilliant. This is what be of my favourite places.

We had been told about the quality of food, service etc so we tried it yesterday, it was brilliant, from the sandwiches to pininis, coffee [Bean Brothers] recommended. It is the best cafe in Slaithwaite.

Needed to take my high maintenance girls out for some ‘posh nosh’ this little gem didn’t let me down. Fabulous food with great service (even when one of them decided to throw their drink all over the floor, this is becoming a Diva moment) staff all prepared and awkwardness totally avoided! We will be back soon

My mum and I come here every other Saturday and any other time we have chance to come! I get something different every time because there is so much to choose from. I recommend the deluxe hot chocolate because they're not tight with the marshmallows! The service is always brilliant and Ellie (the Saturday girl) is very attentive and happy to help. I highly advise to come here whether you're simply wanting a coffee or a full meal!

Well, ain't TripAdvisor a sad old place at times? Good job I hadn't read the last review, if I had, we wouldn't have touched this place with a barge pole; and in doing so would have missed out on one of the nicest lunches we've had in a long time.

While this so-called “Deli café” appears to be a sign of gentrification in Slaithwaite, it is actually more of an extension of Ashby’s fried-chicken shack next door, with a pretty bog-standard menu, and not a “deli” at all. Since it advertises as much, I thought I might be able to get a decent cup of coffee here, but I was wrong. Sadly, there was absolutely nothing on the menu which sounded even slightly attractive, but having struggled to get in to the place, I ordered an Americano and a pre-packaged flapjack, having to go to the counter to be served. When the Americano arrived at my table, it had not a trace of crema, and the cup was in fact so over-filled with water that the waitress, navigating the café’s cramped interior, spilled it, both into the saucer, and onto the table. No plate for the flapjack, no replacement saucer, no wiping of the table. I had initially thought that our young waitress was perhaps just a part-timer, working a Saturday shift, but the mere suggestion angered the owner, who insists that all his staff are equally capable, so this sort of service is clearly par for the course in this establishment. The coffee tasted like brown water, one of the worst I’ve had anywhere. The flapjack was quite nice, but it was bought-in, probably a good choice.

I winced slightly when I spotted this 'Deli Cafe' in increasingly gentrified Slaithwaite, but it advertised a 'Bean Brothers' coffee, which I thought would be decent. Inside, it's a little more ordinary than the exterior suggests, seemed pleasant enough. Coffee was disappointing unfortunately, since the cup holding my Americano had been overfilled with water, so much so that the waitress spilled it. It made for a rather watery coffee. It was the weekend, so maybe the waitresses were Saturday staff. I had a cake, which was quite nice. Lock on the toilet door appeared not to function, maybe there is a knack to it.

usually meet with friends once a week here. the menu is quite vast and everything we have ever tried as been delicious. lots of variation of coffee. also have soya alternative. lovely warm and friendly staff. love it here. well done guys x

We visited Ashby's in Slaithwaite having seen the good reviews on TripAdvisor. Our visit was an enjoyable one - it's a nice, quite trendy place to sit in, coffee was very good and breakfast was delicious. There was a good choice of food available and prices seemed very reasonable, too. Haven't been able to give an 'excellent' rating because it did feel a bit cramped (had to move our chair a few times for staff to get to other tables) and the service, although courteous, wasn't as friendly and welcoming as we've received elsewhere (although we do appreciate they were quite busy). Minor things, really - we would return because the coffee and food was very good.

Had a very nice saturday afternoon lunch , thoroughly enjoyed by us both. I had a chicken and chorizo baguette with salad and Di had a hot roast beef sandwich with a seperate jug of gravy to suit . The food helped warm us up too along with a nice pot of tea.This Deli cafe is very nice and we would highly recommend.

Well maybe not all day but it felt like it, was actually 50 minutes. We can accept delays if it is busy (which it was) if:

Always love going to Ashby’s - the poached egg crumpet stacks are particularly good! It goes without saying that the service is always excellent! A must go in slawit!

I’d been for a walk and was hungry , so I decided to call in . I was given a table and my order quickly taken . I ordered the goats cheese salad. It arrived very quickly. It was lovely, the goats cheese was very nice. The staff were very nice , and helpful. I’d go again for a meal, when I’m in the area. All the food being served looked very nice .

Love this place, nice helpful staff, great service and tasty food.

First visit today and from a choice of places for brekkie in Slaithwaite, I'm so glad we went here.

Had a lovely meal here with my children. Great menu, great prices. Eggs Benedict could do with a leafy garnish as presentation is a bit plain. Will go back and will try something else next time.

Have visited this wonderful deli cafe on a number of occasions and it never disappoints. Great choice, fresh, tasty, well presented food and in a great location for exploring the area around. Would definitely recommend.

Visited Ashby's on a very busy Sunday afternoon.

This was a one off visit. My first and last EVER. Will not recommend this place to anyone. Sticky and wobbly tables, filthy floors, dusty shelves, dirty toilet and hand washing facilities for the customers, no toilet roll or handwash, towels to dry hands on STUNK!! Rude staff, overpriced food, looked OK from the outside but the whole place and visit was a disaster. How Ashbys has not been shut down by environmental health yet, I don't know. Shouting and swearing coming from the kitchen. Staff licking their fingers after preparing food. Touching spray bottles and chemicals then serving food to customers. Vile. If they let the customers sit in filth one side I dread to think what their kitchen facilities are like. I had already had a coffee at this point, in a dirty cup but was definitely not staying for food. Looks like the manager of this place needs to have a big shake up and get some manners and customer service skills of his own. Can't even leave one nice thing to say about this place, apart from the light fittings, they were nice, if they had light bulbs that worked!! Shape up Ashbys SHAPE UP!!

Amazing breakfast served even up to lunchtime. Lots of selection, where my partner and I prefer to brunch on a weekend!

bob in here at least once a week. a wide range of coffees and all delicious. food menu is quite vast and always gorgeous. highly recommended

Had a fantastic breakfast at this really nice cafe. When we arrived we the waitress informed us there was a wait due to takeaway orders this was not a problem it still did not take that long. It was worth the wait food was amazing my husband says the best he has ever had.The staff where all very friendly I hope we are in the area again to try lunch. Also excellent value

Good food, the quality of produce is great. They seem to have become more expensive lately. We go here for take out food as well as sitting in, with the take out option the staff have forgotten items before due to it being a few different things!

Stopped for a coffee and ended up with a burger - absolutely superb and puts the Chains to shame. Service was good and very friendly plus the overall atmosphere very pleasant. Superb menu from which to choose. Cakes looked wonderful - but I managed top resist :-(And not to disappoint... the double espressos were lovely.Prices are very reasonable...

Small cafe with the most incredibly reasonable menu you could imagine.Staff friendly and service very good.Food was promptly served and was very tasty.

Really nice and friendly place. Foods are very big portion and really good value for money. Definitely recommend it

After a lovely canal walk, this is the perfect place to stop and have a coffee and bite to eat. Have visited a few times now and each time the staff have been very friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble! The breakfasts (which I'm working my way through) have always been spot on, would definitely recommend!

Pleasant little place, right in the heart of the lovely village of Slaithwaite.Slaithwaite is a quaint little village on the outskirts of the town of Huddersfield. Surrounded by lush greenery and fields a-plenty. Visiting Slaithwaite is a must if you are looking for a nice country drive, with its attractive country pubs and cafes. Beautiful walks along the scenic canals and public footpaths through various pretty fields. Ashby's Deli Café sits along the main road into Slaithwaite, blink and you'll have missed it! But it certainly isn't one to be missed. It has lovely stylish industrial dècor that has been executed to perfection. The walls are adorned with fascinating wallpaper and furnishings that are a treat for the eyes. The only things that stops this being a 5* rating is the smelly toilet facilities that aren't too well cared for and in hot weather this was a bit off putting whilst trying to enjoy lunch. The service let them down a little as the girl seem harassed and brought the wrong hot drinks and we ended up being charged twice (which was later corrected though.) If you are looking for a proper full English breakfast, sadly this isn't your place. As it's quite a fancy presentation and it lacks the necessary accoutrements to provide a top no help brekkie. There are a few too many small tables squashed together so space is a bit cramped.In hot weather staff should perhaps have a little more down time to take a breather and then they would provide better customer service!! However this would not prevent us from returning as the experience as a whole was a pleasurable one. Well worth a visit and there appeared to be a lot of other delicious looking platters going to other tables so will will definitely be returning to sample something else. The window display in the left window doesn't lend well to what you can expect to have to nosh, if this was improved I'm sure would attract even more customers. We've lived in the area around 5 and a half years and we've only just got round to visiting this place. But we are so glad we did.

At first open kitchen so nothing to hide , great it makes you think they know what they are doing . realisation kicked in after food eaten and left one grill so both meat and vegi cooked on the same grill ! Not good , space is an issue I guess but cook vegi in pans on grill

This is first time I have visited Ashbys. It looks like a great little deli and cafe. Very popular, and I think that was the problem.I visited on Sunday afternoon, 28/5/17 and was supprised by the choice and wide selection of fresh food on black boards. Seated straight away, which as a solo dinner should be easy. Told menu on way waited over 5 mins but so far I'm in no rush. Had to ask to place order after another 10 mins. Coffee and a lamb burger. 20 mins later burger arrived and looking at the presentation was worth it. I have no problems waiting for hot fresh food. It is Sunday like I said am in no rush. But spot the problem still no coffee. Ok they said sorry yet again which is fine. And fetched a beautiful cup of hot coffee lightening fast. The burger was only just warm not hot. It was such a shame it looked amazing. By this point was starving and fed up. Didn't comment which is the usual English way we just hide behind a review on line. Will I go again yes because I don't believe in unfair reviews and next time I am sure 5 stars will on the cards.

Why has it taken me so long to find this place?! Lived in Linthwaite/Meltham a good 10yrs and visited Ashbys for the first time last week and my only regret is not finding it sooner. A lovely deli/cafe, easy to find, parking spaces in Aldi. There isn't loads of tables so can imagine it would get busy in peak times but it's nicely decorated. The menu is varied and I'm sure there something for everybody average cost of lunch is approx £8 (approx. £5 for meal £2 for coffee/soft drink) whilst slightly on the pricy side for lunch, you certainly get what you pay for as the food is high quality, tasty and they don't skimp on the portion size so well worth it. My only constructive piece of criticism is that a kids menu would be great as even the sausage sandwich my son got was humongous (but very tasty and had I not been on SW, I would have polished it off) but a smaller version of the menu for a discounted price would be good.The service was second to none, really friendly and accommodating.I definitely plan to return again and will be recommending to others.Thank you for a lovely lunch experience.

Defo call again. Service great, polite. Very helpful. Food 10 out of 10. Hot. Fresh and tasty. Will call again soon. Thank you

I've been coming to Ashby's since it opened, usually things are great when a cafe first open then slowly decline. Not Ashby's. The food is fab on all counts.

Late lunch on a rainy day. Decent quality lamb with feta burger. Friendly staff and quick service. Would go again.

Our overall experience was outstanding. Fabulous food, great service and VERY nice staff. Would recommend to anyone.

Go in for on sandwich and always leave with 2, the menu has so many nice things on it I can never only get one. Introduced to me by a friend who lives there are will always make sure that I call in when passing.

We've passed by Ashby's a few times and decided to treat ourselves to lunch and wow we weren't disappointed. It's quite unassuming from the street and the range of high quality food (sourced locally), great service and relaxed atmosphere all added to our visit. I had the goats cheese classic and my husband had the Godfather, they were both delicious and the staff couldn't have done more to make us feel really welcome. We will be back! Many thanks to Mike and team.

I am a regular visitor of Ashby's and have been now for a couple of years. The food is absolutely fantastic and really offers value for money. I've tried something different every time and enjoyed the food on every visit. The staff are all helpful and are keen to assist with any help that I require. Couldn't fault Ashby's!

This place simply does the best sandwiches in Huddersfield. Modern, trendy furnishings and great service compliment Rolls Royce style lunches.

I've been here a few times now and the food is always spot on...However! The staff need to learn some basic manners, especially the one that served us who looked scruffy and had an attitude problem.This is an expensive SANDWICH shop, which is punching far above its weight especially with the staff they employ.

I visited Ashby's with a friend at the beginning of January. We both had our toddlers with us who required a highchair each. We had all been together a month earlier & we were very impressed with both the service & food. However, this second visit was very much a different story & we were disgusted with how we were treated. The tables usually seat 2 people, so we asked for 2 tables to be put together because there were 4 of us. We did not think this was an unreasonable request, especially since there were other groups of 4 people in the cafe who had 2 tables between them. We were told that we couldn't have 2 tables because that would mean they would lose a table even though we were buying 4 meals. The table we were TOLD to use was pushed against a wall meaning there was only 3 sides of a table for 4 of us. The waitress put 2 high chairs next to one another, one of which was in front of the table, the other was not. There were no tables on the high chair either, meaning that there would have been no way that one of the toddlers could have reached their food. Neither could either me or my friend help feed either of the toddlers because of how the table was set out, so how the toddlers were supposed to eat is beyond me! There wouldn't have even been enough room on the table for 4 plates! The whole time we were there, the waitress was huffing & puffing and clearly not happy at having to sort the table out for us. We were made to feel like an inconvenience, and not like valued customers. The table was also very close to nearby tables so it would have been a squeeze for us to sit there, and not a relaxing lunch. Therefore, we didn't even sit down, we walked out disgusted at the whole thing. We certainly will not be going back ever. There are many other lovely cafe's in Slaithwaite who treat you like valued customers.

Excellent food, excellent service and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Little gem in Slaithwaite that's well worth visiting
