Cafe In The Park in Kirklees - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A great place to visit after a walk round Greenhead park. The main part of the cafe is in a large conservatory/greenhouse with an outdoor area with picnic tables. A good range of quality drinks and food are available.

By far the worst burger I ve ever bought. Probably the worst mea I ve ever had too. We didn't manage to eat it. Needs effort to completely destroy a piece of meat.

Food ok. Coffee OK. Cust serv average. Mainly young kids serving. Could be better and I suppose a little worse.

The staff were surly and miserable. Will not go again. Our friends were really disappointed with a particular member of staff who appeared to be in charge

Been here on numerous occasions with staff and we have all had several bad encounter with the miserable staff here. As someone who has worked in hospitality, I don't know how this team get away with it. Their condescending and rude manner towards customers is horrible. They have little patience and no warmth. Also quite expensive for the quality of luke-warm coffee, many cheaper options around huddersfield. Wouldn't recommend, shame as its a nice location by the park with free parking!

We visited one lunchtime prior to Xmas and the conservatory was not at all busy. We ordered paninis which were tasty - but took a very long time to arrive.

Very disappointed with our recent visit. Have been loads over the years but now the menu is very limited, you can only order a selection if sandwiches, of which there are 3 choices. No good for someone who might not want cucumber. Apparently there is a childs option but not on the menu. when I enquired about alternative sandwiches I was told there were only the platters, then another customer behind me in the queue was told something different. Our coffee was made with UHT milk. Will not be returning.

We used to come here for years visiting the cafe for coffee and cake. The main high point was the geraniums, tropical climbing plants and fragrant Mediterranean flowers. The roof needed fixing so this was done over many months. Whoever thought that uprooting all of those beautiful plants and replacing them with dull stones and cacti was very foolish to say the least! The relaxing sounds of the fountain has gone too. It was utterly disappointing to visit!A conservatory is for light loving plants, and an environment of a cafe is reflected in the choice of flowers and fauna. A prickly, uninviting and sterile environment and no longer on my list of top cafes to visit in Huddersfield.

I visited The Park cafe and Restaurant today. The selection on the menu for lunch was pitiful and when I went to order most of what was on the menu (which wasn't much) was not available.

Pleasant, friendly and efficient staff, good choice of food and drinks at reasonable prices, would highly recommend

Clean and tidy and and food ok too

Smallest breakfast I've had very basic latte was awful. Toilets not clean baby changing mat absolutely filthy not been cleaned would NOT Recomend

Friendly lady served us tasty, reasonably priced food. We were her only customers on this wet, blustery day.

Good value for money food and quick service. Kids loved it.

Ok, to grab an ice cream or can of pop. The coffee's & the food aren't great though :(

We stop here for a Latte when we walk into town. The coffee is really nice and currently only £1 per cup. We plan to try their £3.95 breakfast at some point.

Good quality food, not expensive. Staff are excellent

Cheap coffee with lovely staff.

This cafe is in the former palm house in our lovely local park and has been converted very successfully. You can eat either inside or sit out, weather permitting. The food served is of the quiche and salad, jacket potato and sandwich variety and is very good, with generous portions. The only bugbear on the day we went was a large party of young parents and toddlers who paid no regard to other diners and allowed the children to rampage around noisily very close by so Monday lunchtimes are best avoided!

Nice and clean and tidy, but the cup of tea was not very pleasant unfortunately. The park however is wonderful

On a hot summers day we stopped off for lunch and chose to eat indoors out of the sweltering heat of the outside eating area. Grab a seat and a menu, order at the counter, pay and then sit and relax.I ordered a lovely ham and mozzarella panini which came with a dressed salad. My wife chose the tomato and basil flan which arrived with an even bigger salad. A couple of fentemans drinks and all for £18.Lovely tasty lunch and very good value for money.

We have been to the cafe a handful of times in the past two years or do. The building is lovely, conservatory is a lovely space. Menu is good, food is tasty, there is a children's menu and I think it is all good vale for money. I feel comfortable with taking the children here as there is plenty of room. The only downside is the rudeness of some of the staff. It's almost like some of them are there against their will and think it is acceptable to be short with you and almost tell you off. God help you if you forgot to look at your table number....even if you are the only people in there. Even the way your order is taken is like an interrogation. It is not all staff, I have come across two who were very lovely.

Visited a few times before as the venue and food and drinks are good, but the service is a bit erratic. Today when we were browsing the menu on the counter to see what we wanted, the lady taking the orders bossily told us to queue at the other side, we didn't dare argue so just joined, despite still not being sure of what we wanted - the menus should be available before you join the queue. It's all a bit clunky around the entrance. During taking my order the lady started a conversation with another staff member about another order...maybe focussing on one task at a time might be more efficient ? I finally ordered three dishes and three drinks and sat down. The first item arrived, we then waited 15 minutes before having to ask for the other items and waited a further ten minutes for them to arrive. Surely an order should be brought out together so everyone can eat at the same time? The young lady waitress was very apologetic and said their was a problem with the computer ordering system, but no compensation was offered. Maybe a drink while we waited would have been a nice touch. It's a nice place and the staff try their best but you can tell it's not a privately owned business, if it was I think their customer service would be better.

Beautiful building with seating in conservatory, outside and another room that echoes less. Great place to sit and chill with a brew. Can get busy and is popular for families with young children.

Good prices, children and dog welcome, open most of the day, would recommend. They serve up a good breakfast.

I can't see why people are complaining about this cafe is brilliant home made food and seriously quick service always Freindly and even at busy times never had a bad visit well done guys

Mi hija me envió a comprar el café mientras ella aparcaba el cochecito. Optamos para sentarse fuera como el invernadero era un poco de calor. Me las arreglé para evitar el contacto visual con el display tarta y solicitar a un cappuccino para mí. Lucy tenía una copa de té helado con crema batida en la cima muy moderno. Ambos eran buenas y la señora me atendió con la segunda copa, ya que tenía mi brazo en un sling. Es un lugar encantador para un descanso y refrigerio.

Had lunch with grandchildren. Nothing special. Quick service. A bit expensive. Kids meals ok. Don't use it often

If it is quiet then you can get your food and drinks and enjoy them, but if it is busy then make sure you put plenty of time on your parking ticket as we popped in for a coffee and popped one hour on the ticket and ended up taking nearly half an hour stood in a queue (with only 4 people in front of us) then by the time we got our coffee and sat down we had only a good 20 minutes left to sup up quick..... the cakes are nice and the food is okay as I have eaten there before but took half a day off work so didn't have to worry about time, but give it a go as it is a lovely place to sit and eat.

Hemos comido aquí un par de veces y no tuve que esperar mucho para la comida. Tuve la ensalada y quiche, la ensalada de hojas de lechuga mezcladas es adecuada con tomates y pepino, gran parte de col y algunos chutney, él tenía el pastel de cerdo, que también cuenta con algo de pan, un panecillo marrón muy agradable y la ensalada. Nos gusta sentarse en el área de invernadero, puede llegar a hacer mucho calor en verano, también es perros en esta zona que es genial si quieres una bebida después de tomar el perro a pasear. El personal era amable y servicial.

Being retired we visit a lot a lot of "touristy " places and pay good money for not good value meals , but we took our very good disabled friend out for lunch and a walk in the sun round Greenhead park , we finished up in the restaurant in the conservatory and what a lovely setting it is ,ablaze with flowers and a fountain! We ordered our meal (gardeners lunch ) expecting the usual "touristy " rip off BUT when it came the plate was FULL and we'll presented , served by a very polite young man . What good value it was and delicious too ,will return and we recommend this place for its disabled access and family friendly place.

Tuvimos un almuerzo muy bueno teníamos peri peri pollo y queso calentito el servicio era bueno y el ambiente era bueno un buen lugar para comer bien merece una visita

A visit to the beautiful park with our granddaughter was spoiled by the length of time we waited for food. After over 45 minutes we were still waiting for one sandwich. I asked a member of staff what the hold up was and showed her my receipt. After going to investigate she returned to say I had given the wrong table number. Strange since I gave our table number as 3, the receipt showed table 3 and we were sat at table 3!! She then told me the food was in the lift on its way. After 20 minutes we were still waiting. We then left getting a refund on the way out.

4 of us ate here as a family, ordered some ham sandwiches at 11.44 am but they still hadn't arrived by 12.08 am. The 2 children were grumbling they were really hungry and why was it taking so long. The café wasn't over busy so I was surprised at our wait. I decided to ask at the counter if they had forgotten our order and as I did it arrived. Not sure why it took 25 minutes for 2 children's ham sandwiches but it did spoil it for us as the children wanted to leave by then and go elsewhere. It's a nice place in a lovely location though so we will definitely go again.

I do like it here! I bring my daughter who loves the fountain and plants in the original conservatory. On the occasion I called in for a quick drink and a snack. It was after 3pm and the cafe was closing at 4pm which was slightly disappointing, but we are still in winter, hopefully spring summer might fetch longer opening hours. I had a flavoured milkshake which was divine along with a tasty flapjack. I like the atmosphere here, it's one of my firm favourites, a cafe for all occasions.

Good value food and superb location, however customer service was not so good. Staff could be more friendly.

We stopped for coffee on a Sunday morning walk. A good place to relax - the conservatory has a good ambience

Spacious cafe with lots of tables. Love that they've kept the pond in the middle from the original conservatory. Being in a conservatory it does get quite hot and there are bugs around because of the plants (not a criticism - it was like eating outside on a warm summer's day!). I do wish people would control their dogs though. It's a shame that some owners think it's acceptable for them to be running round and barking - it's people like this who give responsible dog owners a bad name and why dogs aren't accepted in lots of uk cafes. Staff should feel confident to say something to them. Great menu with lots of choices for adults, but could offer a bit more for children. Friendly staff, but it can be slow to order and queues build quickly. A nice addition to the park.

Overpriced and very very slow service. I know it was busy but 50 minutes for 2 sandwiches is ridiculous. No table service is a negative. My so called piri piri chicken panini had never been near even the slightest bit of piri piri. The sandwich was, in fact, a chicken and cheese panini which is not even on the menu. The surroundings/decor is OK but nothing special.

We stopped off for a light lunch, sandwiches, and it took 40 minutes for the food to come. We had put an hour on the parking, thinking it would be plenty of time if it wasn't busy, which it wasn't. Our drinks were cold/drunk before the food arrived, and we had to rush our eating. Not a pleasant time. Food was good when it came, and plentiful, and the counter staff friendly and apologetic. Shame it was spoiled by the lengthy wait.

This cafe does not look much but has a good range of cheap, wholesome food and good beverages. It's setting a beautiful park and is ideal for a stop after a walk and you can take your dog in. On warmer days you can sit outside and watch the sport or just watch the world go by. In these days of council austerity it's a little oasis of tranquility.

Excellent menus both for adults and children alike. Friendly staff and clean facilities. The range of food and drink on offer is very good and always served really well. The surrounding park is always worth a visit too especially when the fountain is on.

Had a meal in the Conservatory Cafe today, had previously only had drinks and cakes so was surprised at how good the meals were.The cafe was very busy with being Bank Holiday so we had to wait for the food but it arrived in about 20 minutes.The food was really lovely and we had plenty to eat. The sandwiches had of plenty filling in, served with crisps and a side salad which had a very tasty dressing on it. The decaff coffee was nice but the cups are only small, we had almost drank it before the meals arrived. I was looking at the menu and it is very varied and loads to choose from, they have a childrens menu too. They also serve a nice range of breakfast items before 11.30am.If you sit in the conservatory area, that is dog friendly tooI will definitely come back for another meal here......

Our club meets every Friday for breakfast. To day we had it here, been there before. Food and service very good. No problem changing items on the menu.

Me and my girlfriend went for lunch. Very good and quick service. All of the members of staff were very helpful. I would it recommend to anyone.

Greenhead Park is nicely landscaped and there is plenty to do. The miniature railway is popular and fun. The two cafes serve decent food. Nothing flash, and it isn't Betty's

Visited with friends for a late breakfast. Food and drinks great and was nice and sunny in the conservatory (even though it was a bit chilly outside ). Been lots of times and always been impressed :)

We came one sunny morning and enjoyed brunch in the cafe. Sausage bagels and coffees. They don't seem to waitress at the tables anymore and so we took our table number and ordered. Pleasant meal in pleasant surroundings.

The cafe is located in Greenhead Park in a beautifully restored Victorian conservatory. It has good metered parking and will refund £1 of the parking charge when eating in the cafe-remember to take change for the meter as the parking attendants are vigilant!The soup and sandwich formula is ideal for lunch and the cafe serves alcohol and a wide selection of hot drinks. This is a very popular venue for mums and grandparents with children. Highly recommended and good value..

I chose scrambled egg with smoked salmon, but having been told that there was no salmon that day, I chose bacon in its place. I had quite a long wait, and was surprised to see a famly of four who had arrived after me being served some time before me. When the meal was laid in front of me, it looked and tasted as if it had been put to one side a while ago; the bacon was hard and the egg solid. No doubt the toast was OK, but I didn't wait to find out, and after a couple of mouthfuls I left the remainder where it was, and left.

Nice café comfortable dining but every visit we have had a long time to queue and wait for food. Food is ok didn't like the coffee.

Visited recently after spending time in Greenhead Park. I have to say that the whole experience was somewhat underwhelming.The ambience is quite flat and stark; no background music, no curtains or blinds, hard surfaces, I guess typical cafe surroundings but you expect more these days.Food & service distinctly average, although we only had a couple of toasties, there was nothing to recommend them further than "basic" and the side salads the same. We did want breakfast but it had finished 10 minutes ago. Fair enough, but with the few customers inside I would have they would have tried to have a word with the chef to see if he rustle up a couple of sausage sarnie, but it was a straight "no".It's a pity as it's a nice location but would benefit from a makeover, better food and more helpful staff. Sorry if this sounds harsh but it is my honest opinion.

I have reviewed this cafe before however without changing the main woman here who is not suitable for a people facing job the ratings won't change. The food is quite good. The drinks both tea and coffee I think are a cheap variety but both are tasteless. Beware don't pass a comment as the women has an answer for everything but won't listen to anyone. My son and I hated it last and thought it was ok but we won't return again,

This cafe is cheap and cheerful. Fine for ice cream and tea. Not so good i.m.o. for food, meeting friends, sitting and reading, etc. If you want a bit better (food and drink quality, choice, and ambience), and are willing to pay a bit more, you can go to the conservatory cafe at the bottom end of the park. It depends what you want.

We are fairly frequent visitors but more to do with the fact that we visit the park regularly rather then specifically visiting the cafe. The food is generally lovely and today was no exception. Delicious bowl of homemade soup and fresh bread. The customer service is what really lets this place down. The lady behind the till could barely muster a smile. I tried to order the rarebit to be practically barked at: 'can't have that, it's on the breakfast menu and it's lunch time'.Three small groups ordered within minutes of each other, one party's food came quickly, the other two waited well over half an hour just for sandwiches! Also, it's pretty irritating that your hot drinks are served immediately so they're stone cold by the time your food arrives. Improve the basics or your captive audience will vote with their feet and choose to find a better offering in the town centre which is right on your doorstep.

Mam was in a wheelchair ,feeling cold and my husband was in pain having pushed the wheelchair. We had intended a visit to the one with conservatory for lunch but need led to this visit. To our shock a dog was brought in to the table at our side. The young animal started to bark in a sharp piercing tone and when we enquired we told that this was the custom for dogs to come in and if we wanted to leave we should. We were eating the very basic food and Mam head was aching and my husband was in pain. Trapped we continued only for the dog to shriek again at which my husband snapped as he could see my Mum's pain. He was told he was rude. The result was he took Mam out and took her home . Her headache did not cease and my family trip out was ruined. Earlier we had a drink in the café at the bottom of the park and enjoyed the experience.

'All food subject to availability' as the menu says. Well this availability period is only the weekend. Myself, my fiancee and out son are visiting on a Tuesday and have been refused a pizza. Judging by the rest of the food nothing is made fresh anyway so a pizza wouldn't be hard to heat up.So we picked our alternative food order and then asked for 2 lattes as well. I got a look as if I had just ordered something a dog might do! Anyway, the woman serving me asked if they were large coffees and I said yes. I was then given 2 coffees in 'large' cups (no larger than the regular cups) but full to about 2" from the top. I paid then asked if I could have them topped up, which brought another scowl as she slid a jug of cold milk towards me. When I asked for hot milk she scowled, took the cold milk across to the milk warmer and pretended to warm it up and then added the still cold milk to the mugs - still leaving them 1" from the rim.And to top it off, I was charged full price for a decaff latte made with instant coffee!Miserable staff, poor service, poor food.Visit the conservatory at the bottom of the park instead. Good food (almost always available), good service and friendly staff.

Ordered 2 full English breakfasts which were freshly cooked and tasted great, managed to sit outside in the sun shine. Young lady behind the counter was friendly and very helpful.

Considering that the majority of visitors to this cafe are families, the service and waiting time is appalling!Arrived with two hungry small children. After queuing for half an hour just to get served, we then waited another half hour for meal (simple sandwiches) to arrive. You cannot do this with small children, and if I hadn't already paid, I would have walked out. The delay is not due to staff shortage, as there are more than enough staff. None of them seem to know what they are doing though - very disorganised, and the young staff have serious attitude problems.I will never go here again

Spent over half an hour waiting for a sandwich no apology ridiculous service will not be going back not much else to say had drunk coffee and forgotten about it by the time food arrived

We attended "the cafe in the park" today on the 18th march at 15.05pm.The person behind the counter was so miserable and has no people skills what so ever.All i wanted was a simple ice cream scoop in a tub. No cone. This seemed like a request that was too hard to fulfil. The face she made when i asked for no cone after she had got one out. People like that should not work in the public sector and we wont be visiting this place again.I feel sorry for the elderly lady who came in for a coffee who got the same rude treatment

The women that runs this has poor people skills . The cooking is ok and the place is spotless. One day someone will make a fortune in the season. Whatever you do make sure you know what you want when you go to the counter. If not the assistant will sence you are not sure and pounce like a vulture. I hate beans so I asked for no beans but extra mushrooms. Not possible unless I bought an extra side of mushrooms. Forget it just no beans. My plate came with beans. So I took it back she scraped the beans of. No I want no beans on the plate. "anyone told you your weird" I said nothing out loud be under my breathe thought anyone told you your rude?
