Filmore & Union in Kirklees - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Just wanted to say the vegan burger (with or without cheese) is the best and we tried twice. Great service and great food :)

The staff were super friendly and efficient, and the menu had a bit of everything. The chips were fantastic and my husband enjoyed the vegan burger. The leek and potato soup was tasty but a little gloopy. Would definitely return though.

Me and my parents come here all the time and we really love the matcha tea and the food you guys have :) Great friendly service as always

Having visited this outlet prior to operation under the Filmore & Union brand, and been very satisfied, we decided to try it again for lunch. The menu had some interesting and unusual choices, Orders were taken at the table and we waited a short while for a staff member to arrive. When the food arrived the quality and quantity were very good. Overall, the environment was pleasant and in comparative terms, we would rate our visit as "Good" if possible on Tripadvisor

This branch of Filmore & Union is based on the second floor of the Redbrick Mill. The pleasant atmosphere and attractive decor in the high ceilinged room together with the cake display enticed us in for a light lunch. Our BLT ciabatta was super tasty and the sourdough toast and poached eggs were also of high quality. Two excellent coffees completed our enjoyable lunch.

Located in the furniture store which attracts shoppers from far and wide, so can sometimes risk slow service. The wait for an excellent tomato, date and lime soup was worth it. Served with toasted sourdough ( asked for just bread as well which was barely defrosted).Good coffeePleasant young staff working hard and staying calm

Lovely outside area when the sun is out Food was great nice selection of fresh items to choose from Service was abit slow but not a problem as the sun was shining

Quirky restaurant in Redbrick Mill. Waited to be seated while staff finished chatting and then told we could sit anywhere. Interesting and different menu. Well presented but poorly seasoned and lacking taste. Guacamole appeared to be mashed avocado which isn’t guacamole. Nice beer. Not cheap.

Go to the redbrick mill shopping and stop to have some food. Really not expected to have some nice and great quality food.

We just went furniture shopping and popped to this bar/cafe for something to pick. Excellent choices of healthy food, brilliantly served and of excellent taste. We had the avocado choices with poached eggs. Whole meal bread was one of the best we have tried recently. Wish we lived closer! Highly recommended.

The restaurant is very nice well presented and clean. The food is nicely served and quite tasty, but it’s quite expensive for a cafe in a shopping area. I have only been twice and the last time was for lunch, but it cost around thirty pounds for two of us. A lot of things on the menu were over £8, which makes it quite expensive. There is a really nice area outside to sit in the summer time, so they have plenty of seating area. I like the place and the food, it’s just the prices which I find quite expensive. If you want something more than just a sandwich, then it’s the place to go, and the deserts are very nice too.

We called in for lunch and sat outside under the canopy. The place was relatively quiet on a Monday lunchtime. The food was fantastic, bench press salad with chicken and the bacon ciabatta, nicely presented, very tasty and generous portions! The waitress was very polite and efficient, will definitely return soon.

Lunch time treat and was not disappointed. I had chicken wrapped which was full of chicken, apples, salad, avocado, coconut seeds and dressing, delicious. Hubby had ciabatta with bacon sweet potato fries and salad on the side. Washed down with tea and coffee.

Two lunches, two five star experiences. On the first visit the sun shone and I sat out on the terrace, it was bliss, you could have been anywhere in the world! Great atmosphere, fab staff, and delicious food at a good price. Well worth a visit, and the steak sandwich special was to die for ....

Called in for brunch whilst shopping. Looking at the menu and cakes on display we had high expectations.

Lovely looking restaurant with very nice service but the food and my smoothie were below average to be fair . The banana brownie has an unpleasant texture and the smoothie was very watery and overpowered by the mint . It’s not good value for money considering the quality.

We chose from an interesting menu and had a comfortable table in this old mill building on the first floor. The food lived up to its billing and was very tasty and well prepared and presented

This is a nice place to eat. The food is good and they serve nice coffee, but the service was a bit slow.

We went for coffee and cakes. Our order was taken quite quickly but they failed to deliver the cakes at the same time, my husbands came and I waited and waited whilst 3 waitresses talked in a group by the till. One girl was playing with her long hair - where are the health and safety rules and food hygiene? I tried to attract their attention to no a avail so had to go to the counter to ask for my cake. Pleasant surroundings and I have to say the gluten free cake was lovely but the visit was not memorable for the right reasons.

Visited here with family on a thursday evening, with the age varying from 1year old onwards. I have heard and read the mixed reviews but thought we would give it a go. We had a variety of meals from breakfast items to burgers. All food was well presented, colourfull and flavourful. Service was surprisingly good as well as there was only 1 waiter on duty, so the chef helped bring the food to our table, he had great knowledge of the company and also the food he was serving which was great also he was very passionate. All in all a fantastic dining experience for all.

Went here for breakfast, the staff are pleasant and welcoming and the open plan seating is fine. We had pancakes which were genuinely made to order, lovely and fluffy and covered with Greek yoghurt, berries and fruit compote and were delicious. Our only criticism is the coffee wasn't great, very weak, could have stood and extra shot and wasn't hot enough, in fact barely lukewarm. We would have stopped to have another coffee but didn't want another of the same.

Nicely decorated. Tasty looking menu. Had to send my vegan pancake back as it was inedible (we were refunded for this). The scone was very dry too. Smoothie was pretty good though. The soup has just enough flavour.

I’ve visit filmore and union in redbrick mill and I was very impressed with the excellent service and amazing juices and food. My partner had a open steak bagel and I had the warm chicken salad, steak was cooked perfectly and my salad was just to die for. Very pleased and will definitely come back again.

good food could of done to be a bit warmer but very tasty would also prefer to be able to have a larger coffee instead of just 1 size.the young lady who served us was very helpful and recommend the hummus eggs which was lovely

We visited Red Brick Mill this Sunday and thought we would grab a bite to eat. We were seated quickly and given menus along with a list of things they didn't have left.

I visited filmore and union, although it was pricey I enjoyed the food and thought the presentation was great. I was served by a young Portuguese waitress who was very friendly and accommodating, I will definitely visit again and bring my dog next time.

Nice coffee but it should be at £3 a cup. We would have got a slice of cake had it not been four quid a pop and noticed scrambled eggs on toast is £7.50 and an English breakfast was £12! lovely place and environment but WTF?!

Visited today, if you would like to pay top dollar for poor quality, over priced food served slowly then this is the place for you! Went with my family today including a 5 year old. They were served a dry sausage on 1 slice of cold hard toast - meant to be a sausage sandwich!!

Came in for a quick lunch whilst shopping, I got a chicken bagel and partner got the steak bagel. Both bagels were cold and untoasted and partner only got the bottom half of his bagel! Because of this it was extremely dry, I asked for mayo and they don't serve it. There was also a very small amount of chicken and steak in either. The brownie was good but for two bagels, a coffee, a tea and a brownie to share I do think £30 is extortionate.

What s great find...Great staff and excellent service. Very good good but not cheap! You also but a great deal and ambience to the place. Very good coffee and organic...What not to like!!

My last review wasn't a good one. Filmore and Union had been superb, then things seem to go wrong in both food and service. But, I'm delighted to say we went on Sunday 4th November and the food and service was excellent once again! Had a full English and it was as good as it ever was. Great coffee too.

Pleased to see this lovely cafe chain has decided to move into Redbrick Mill. We had a lovely tasty lunch in this great environment. Good place to relax and gather our thoughts before shopping...and after shopping as it turned out!

Made a visit to the Redbrick cafe this morning and everything was excellent as per usual. Unfortunately I witnessed a member of the public verbally attack a young member of the waiting staff which was totally uncalled for. The staff member held herself together very well but underneath must have felt awful.

Came across Filmore & Union quite by chance. Staff were very welcoming, courteous and helpful. Coffee, and the bacon ciabatta were excellent. Nice relaxed Sunday morning atmosphere. Perfect antidote for the cold rainy day outside. Will be my first port of call next time I passing through.

This is not a cheap option but as they say 'you pay for what you get'. That is truly correct here. The pancakes were the best I've ever had and the scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages didn't disappoint. The service was friendly and all in all a delicious breakfast. There is plenty to chose from but all 4 of us ate the same so can't really comment further other than I can only presume the food is equally as scrummy throughout. Will return

It's the only cafe supposedly open in the Redbrick complex. The only one available for disabled people, the closed(even though it stated it was open) for staff training. This seemed to involve them stood around doing nothing. Complaints duly made, sour faces from staff who didn't give a damn.

Visited Red Brick Mill and had lunch at the new, to us Gilmore & Union restaurant. Selection of good fresh foods on the menu. Very polite and critics staff making sure all was presented well and during meal was left to eat. Could not-fault ordering when asking for an item to be not included on meal was part if the great service. Even when not ordering a drink for myself, from the menu was offered tap water to ensure I was not with out a drink. Well worth a visit for fresh food and good service.

First visit in 20 months and returned to the same cafe for breakfast. Name had changed although menu and set up the same. Very tasty food and excellent coffee.

This place could be a lot better than it is. The decor is cold and uninviting; not a place to spend a lot of time. We only had drinks so can't comment on the food.

We have been Sunday morning regulars to F&U; in Redbrick because the food was excellent. Quality stuff, and strong coffee. Then, one Sunday in June, something had gone terribly wrong. We sensed a problem when we went in, and observed several incidences of wrong food being delivered, food being sent back, etc. We order Humous Eggs. Normally delicious, this day they were very disappointing. The side dish of bacon didn't looked cooked and laid there like two strips of fat. It was normally crispy. When we complained, the waitress explained that that was how bacon was to be from now on, unless crispy was requested. She also mentioned something about a trainee chef. Anyway, it wasn't very good at all, and we were given a Lemon and Elderflower drink as compensation for our disappointment.

We called in for a late lunch. I had a berry smoothie and husband had iced coffee. My smoothie wasn't as thick as I was expecting but it was tasty.

I visit this restaurant regularly for breakfast with my friend. I really enjoy the pancakes and the avocado on toast. The best thing about this place is the cappuccinos. Oh my goodness, I know a good cappuccino when I taste one and this place has got to be up there with one of the best coffees I've had. All the food is freshly made and beautifully presented. I always find the service excellent too. Highly recommended.

Been before and service was appalling but that seemed a little better now. However the food was disappointing and underwhelming. A wrap was huge but tasteless whilst a bagel lacked texture and was boring! The fillings seemed patchy...we should have kept menus to check what we were eating. Sweet potato fries were tired and thrown in a bowl.

I opted for the chicken schnitzel with salad, lovely it was

Good quality food served within red brick mill, happy staff and tasty food. Order a full English, vegetarian or a snack or just coffee .

Went to the cafe thinking it's busy this is a good sign, how wrong we were. Being veggies we opted for a chick pea burger and a bagel with butternut squash etc. When the food arrived it was bland and the burger had more sweetcorn in it then anything else . The cashew nut dip was naff , the only good thing on this plate was the 5 sweet potato wedges. As for the bagel, it was stone cold, no flavor again not worth the money in any shape or form. The waitress let us have our drinks for free but it was a pathetic veggie option. Never again!

Tasty, imaginative, creative cuisine, healthy and well-presented. The ingredients are well-sourced and combined to create complex dishes. This cafe/restaurant is very in-keeping with the Redbrick Mill ethos. It’s not cheap, but represents excellent value for money. Think Aston Martin rather than Ford Fiesta! If you want cheap and fast, go to Nando’s.

Sunday shopping is usually improved with coffee and cake. Sadly not the case here.

I went in last week with some friends. Had great coffee, hot drinks and cakes were divine. Service was lovely, friendly staff.

We've eaten here a few times over the last few years when visiting the brilliant red brick mill. The previous two times the food was poor and the service was atrocious. It looked like the menu had improved significantly since my last visit, and some thought had been given to the dishes. The food turned up really quite quickly which was good (chicken escalope wrap, turkey burger, childs pizza) as I had two young kids with me. I don't know how they managed it but the food was the blandest I've eaten in a restaurant. Every element was completely wrong and unseasoned. Salads with no real dressing. Pizzas are tortilla wrap, Tom puree and cheddar. If I got this in a cheap cafe I wouldn't complain but they're charging restaurant prices. On paying the bill we were given the wrong tables bill (which I had to point out) and when given the right bill they'd added an extra pizza to the receipt. This place could be really good, they just need to focus on the food and not on the menu and decor.

Highly over priced, sharing board at £15 which after eating we were still hungry. £8.50 for a bagel, sweet potato fries £4.50. We’d visited here before it changed hands and enjoyed but after eating here today we will not be returning.

This food outlet has changed hands since I last ate here it now seems to be largely vegetarian and health food, healthy food yes. Vegetarian, not a chance. there are some none veg options if you look. I had the scrambled eggs with smoked salmon which I have to admit were excellent, my wife had a stale bagel with tomato and chicken, she ate the filling. I had a glass of wine which again was good my wife had tea. The bill £33 +. Last week I ate at the Petite French in Chester 1 x 2 courses 1 x 3 course half a litre of decent red wine £43. Someone is charging far too much.

We visited here yesterday as a family of four; two adults and two children. The service was good, the tables were clean and the waitress was friendly. Unfortunately, the food was not up to the same standard.

I've been here twice in the last few weeks - first time for a cuppa with a friend and second time for lunch while I was out shopping and I've loved it both times.

This was without doubt the worst service and worst food I have ever had the mis-fortune to pay for.

We were excited about the number of veggie options but really disappointed with the food, it was very bland - particularly the chick pea burger. Setting is nice and staff were friendly enough but not totally up to speed on the menu. I would not revisit

Me and my partner had the pleasure of dining at Filmore. Not being a stranger to Filmore's ethics, we already had our meal choices ready to go.

Visited here with my partner and daughter on a Sunday lunchtime. We paid £40 for three light bites; two cakes; and five drinks.

I visited Filmore and Union for the first time for brunch a few weeks ago, I tried the Filmore English Breakfast and it was cooked to perfection! It was a little more expensive than a typical full english in Batley but you pay for quality and it was definitely worth the extra money. My mum got the toasted bagel with peanut butter and fruit, which was apparently delicious too. At just £5 you can’t go wrong!

Sorry to be so negative but we visited as a couple and both agreed it was awful. For one, the menu is expensive. I dont mind this as long as the food matches up. Here, it didnt. My apple/chicken/peanut butter type wrap sounded really good but was awful and primarily just salad. I ended up going hungry (and bought a raspberry blondie at the till - surprisingly delicious).

We visited the new Filmore and Union cafe whilst visiting the Redbrick mills.

We came for lunch on a Sunday - they were mostly, but not completely, full although appeared busy. The décor was nice and it is well positioned within the Redbrick Mill.

Was looking forward to having a good, organic fresh meal at this place. We thought it must be good quality given the prices. (Around £8 for a wrap, £12 for a plate of salad.) You might be able to charge that in Ilkley or New York but here in Batley, those prices are a bit steep.

The first two times we visited, the food was nice, good service, etc etc. Then we had afternoon tea which was served on boards rather than the cake stands. The food was poor, meagre and hard to eat off the boards and certainly not worth the money. The table was too small to accomodate everything, the next time we visited, I found a hair in my food, they knocked off the price of my meal which is fair but spoiled the occasion. We visited again this week, incredibly slow service, only one waitress, we had to ask three times for glasses of water and for salt and pepper, when it came the salt pot was empty and we noticed that most of them on other tables were also empty. The food was dry, not much taste and completely under seasoned. £13 for a dry tastless turkey burger, plus not much choice for vegans. We love the idea of Filmore and Union and don't mind paying for good food, unfortunately, the reality at this cafe doesn't live up to expectations. We have given them the benefit of the doubt on a number of occasions but will now eat elsewhere and maybe try F&U; again in a few months, by which time they hopefully will have got their act together and produce quality food and good service once again.

In among the interior furniture of Redbrik Mill lies Filmore and Union and kind of upmarket but laid back eatery come cafe with an appealing menu. The meals lived up to menu and were pretty good indeed. Impressive.

Food portions were very tasty but extremely small. We had the afternoon tea for 2 and had to share a scone!! Cakes were tasty but tiny. The service was extremely poor. We were waiting for 40 minutes to order and a lot longer for food by this time drinks hadn't even arrived. After we had started the food we were made aware that the order wasn't for our table and made to feel very awkward. The place has potential but a lot of improvement. It was clear that we weren't the only people unhappy.

Would I bring a child here - no

It's while since I visited this place, but it certainly didn't float my boat. If you like wannabe hipster joints full of low-fat, gluten free, vegan fare, then you may well like this place, if (like me) you have more conventional tastes then best give it a miss. It was a major disappointment to find that one of my favourite eateries 'Casbah' had been replaced by this one. Won't be going back!

We went for lunch with our two children, before we sat down we checked they did a kids menu, there were things on the menu they would eat so we took a seat. My youngest ordered an apple juice, when it arrived it was freshly pressed which is great, unless you're four and you don't want a juice to have a foam on top. It looked horrid and more like a smoothie. We ordered him beans on toast and we all had bagels. When the beans came out they were homemade, which is super again unless you're 4 and you are expecting beans - normal Heinz beans! When parents go out with kids they want to relax too and not have to deal with a toddler who is totally disappointed with his lunch. If you're going to make homemade beans then this should be on the menu, don't just put beans on toast it is totally misleading. In fact this place should not offer a kids menu. Our bagels were bland and I've had better from Bagel Nash on my lunch hour. They were £8 each and were totally overpriced for what they were. The girl that served us looked like she couldn't care less about making our visit enjoyable. It was all just very annoying, this place was far too concerned about its image and not about creating a nice lunch experience, and getting the basics right.

I went here for breakfast but was disappointed at the lack of vegan options- a handful of smoothies, a seed bar and a chocolate brownie with fruit compote.

We visited this morning and enjoyed our Sunday morning brunch out on the terrace in the sunshine - the view was lovely and for a 40 minutes I was able to forget I was in Batley!

good range of healthy meals that taste amazing. Price is higher than other cafes at Red Brick but I would definitely return. Lunch tasted as good as it looked and the shabby chic deco was inviting

The first time I went here food and service were good, although they did get our order wrong (similar but slightly different dish received to the one ordered). We were promised a slight reduction on the bill, without having to ask for one, but this didn't happen when we got to the till. But the food was decent and service too, so a month ago, I'd have given them a 4, although WOULD have said it was a bit pricey..

Called in for a coffee and cake to go. The skinny latte, was very good and the cake, courgette and lime was delicious. Portion sizes are good too.

I went here with my husband however I am on a strict low carb/fat diet. There was nothing suitable on the menu so I ordered a drink whilst my husband ordered a beautiful meal. The gentleman serving us asked why I wasn't ordering and I explained the reason. He sat down and asked what I could eat. He made me a bespoke lunch which fit in with my plan. Very definitely over and above.

Great Service, friendly staff and very tasty reasonably priced food, full breakfast for himself and Smoky Baked Beans & Chicks for me. Thoughly enjoyed our first visit to Filimore & Union @ Redbrick, Batley will be calling gain and trying other locations, like the menu. The bar has been set high by the team at Batley and Burt the very well behaved teenage Spaniel! liking the dog policy too

I had not quite realised that this was a sort of health food place. The reception and service was ok but nothing outstanding. The coffee was ok. Told that all the cakes were gluten free - the one I tried was not exactly inspiring and felt very heavy in texture. Nothing on the substantive menu appealed to me and at their premium prices I was not tempted to experiment. I suppose its a bit like marmite you either like it or you dont. I dont and hold the view the cafe that used to be in this spot offered customers far more choice at greater value. At least I wont be tempted to make the same mistake by crossing the portals of their other outlets.

Visited this cafe Bank Holiday Monday afternoon, for coffee and a cake, there was a queue to be seated although I counted 5 empty tables. When we did eventually get seated, and decided what we wanted, we tried to attract someone's attention to take our order but to no avail, After 20 minutes we got up and left. I spoke to the manager on the way out and he asked us to go back in and he would look after us, but it was too late. I appreciate it was a bank holiday but as I said earlier there were several empty tables so the service should have been quicker or there should be more staff. You only get one chance to make a first impression, sadly on this occasion it was not a good one. We moved on to another cafe upstairs which was also quite busy but we were served straight away

Fantastic fresh menu great for summer. The prices are not cheap but you get what you pay for. Excellent service given by the staff too. Would definitely visit again for another treat

We were greeted by a lovely waitress called Ayesha and shown to a table in the newly decorated restaurant. This is a such a refreshing change to see a light airy and extremely trendy new eatery within the Batley area. We are very much fans of Filmore & Union having visited other branches and this is now a welcome oasis to visit for excellent food and even more so the high standard and ethical approach that F & U take.

This has to be one of the best eateries ever, nutritionally balanced meals, everything fresh and so tasty, and such a choice!! Lots of vegetarian options too, friendly and helpful staff, nice atmosphere, great ambience, spotlessly clean and beautifully prepared food! Wow!!

We stopped off at Filmore and Union for some lunch whilst shopping in the area and were really impressed.

This is situated in the Mill and we ended up there for a snack and a few drinks, all health food type meals and fresh fruit drinks.

We were expecting to find an old favourite in Redbrick Mills so initially we were very disappointed when it had been replaced by yet another chain however after a really warm welcome and introduction to the menu we soon realised that potentially things were looking up.

We have been visiting Redbrick Mills since its conversion from a active textile mill involved in recycling. The new F & U is the finishing touch to this furniture and craftwork emporium of the North. All the previous cafes here were fine but never special. Now it is special.. We are familiar with F & U in Wetherby but the attmosphere here topped that. The cheery waitresses looked after us fine and the waiter was most attentive. A great reason to pay an extra visit to Redbrick.

Not up to F&U;'s usual York standard.

Having been a regular visitor to most other local F&U; restaurants was very keen to try the new restaurant at Redbrick Mill complex as it will be the nearest to my home location, what a lovely space but still with the familiar touches that make it their own. We visited their first week on a late night Thursday evening we were greeted by their General Manager who explained the menu and left us to mull over our choices, a lovely young waitress took our drinks and food order which arrived promptly and served in usual colourful style, we had a mix of burgers and a Bench Press which were all delicious served with sweet potato wedges, desserts of brownies and blondes were too difficult to resist. The service and food were as always excellent. So happy to now have a local F&U; within easy driving distance!

We have visited all the F&U; restaurants and couldn't wait to visit the new restaurant at Red Brick Mills. We visited on Saturday for breakfast and we were not disappointed. The egg white omelette is really tasty, I would recommend it. The staff were very welcoming. The manager took time to chat to us about the new restaurant as we were the first customers who arrived for breakfast. We always take our dog to F&U; and we like the fact that it is so dog friendly. We will definitely be visiting again.

Went with mom and friends, fantastic service for newly opened restaurant. Lovely atmosphere, attentive and friendly staff, fab food and not excessively priced.
