Head Of Steam in Kirklees

It's so much fun to be able to rotate between four fun bars all in one.

Really expensive that was the only problem

A great place just next to the train station, with a great selection of both craft ales and lagers. The pub is broken up into different rooms, providing a different atmosphere to suit your mood. I would absolutely recommend a pint of northen monk Faith and a mothership moo & blue pie.

Great pub, right next door to Huddersfield Station. We were visiting for 4 days & came in for a drink before going to get something to eat on 3 of the evenings. Very friendly atmosphere, good beer and decent red wine too.

Not been here for a while. The beer is still great, but it stinks of sweat. Opening the windows and ventilating the place would massively help. The fruit machine in the bar where the real ale pumps are was massively flashy. I don’t suffer from strobe lighting, but moved to the other bar because it was proper annoying

Called for drinks after a meal out. Staff lovely and very helpful. Drinks excellent. Warm and welcoming environment on a cold night. Some reupholstering needed. Thanks

Visited yesterday before and after the match. Lovely pub with a choice of seating areas, extensive selection of drinks and a very friendly welcome. I opted for the Dubel which was excellent as always. Very quick service before the match as it wasn’t overly busy but after the game it was very busy and without wanting to sound critical the service was a bit on the slow side and stretched almost as if it really needed another couple serving. All round experience was very good, would have no hesitation in returning and next time I do I’m going for one of the pies from the menu as they smelt and looked fantastic.

Great atmosphere, huge beers options.

Good pints, disgusting toilets. You might need waders.

Excellent selection of ales. Didn't eat so didn't rate. Very cosy pub!!

The staff were excellent recommended the house lager which was cheaper then others was excellent.

This place is great, the pies and beer are the best.

Excellent beer and great environment

Nice relaxed atmosphere and selection of hand pulled ale.

My favourite pub in Huddersfield! I often stop by when heading home from work and have the pleasure to see the helpful and friendly bar staff including Chris, Vinny, Kieran and Charlotte.

Good selection of beers. They also have pie minister pies.

Good beer choice quality good ok service

Was just a quick wine before getting on the train, lovely old pub, friendly staff.

Gone down hill - now just Lots of keg craft beers - no real ale

Perfect boozer to wait for a train

Fine little friendly pub just by the train station - perfect for a refreshment before venturing further into beautiful Huddersfield

A quick half here in way back from the Manchester airport and had 30 mins before connecting train. Ideally located just outside straight. Comfortable warm atmosphere. Wish I had longer

Some really good ales and porters.

Great pub in a great location. Didn't eat so can't speak for the food.

The quality of the beer was not good it was poorly pulled and very flat not a good advert for a real ale establishment

£28 for a bottle of wine. Ridiculous you don't pay that in a restaurant, never mind a railway station pub.

Charlotte was an absolute delight.

It was quiet for a Friday night, I've been here before, and it was buzzing. Great Beer 🍺

This used to be my go to place for a pint of real ale. However recently the ale isn’t being well poured. In addition, I’ve been served a pint of Leeds Pale that was devoid of any life. When I questioned this I was told all the ales were flat and if I wanted fizzy I should get a pint from the keg side of the pub. I doubt they would have said that to a man. I now frequent either The Crown or King’s Head, both of which are cheaper and keep and poor better kept ale. Have to say I’m gutted as I do love the HoS as a venue.

Excellent ale choices and a quirky atmosphere

Been recently a couple o times in the cask (real ale ) side & meh not overly wowed on any metric. Last time I elected to leave my cloudy dubious ale & go to the Sportsman to drink my unit... Much better 🙂

Lovely place great selection of beers staff brilliant friendly and helpful we had a lovely day

Quality beers and a good selection.

DO NOT go past Huddersfield without calling here,the staff are really helpful at advising which of the massive selection of real ales you may like with little tasters. Well done Head of Steam we will be back. Loads of entertainment as well,and right on the train station forecourt.

Convenient for rail travellers and for dining too with a good selection of ales.

Loved my time here and the service from amber was amazing she was so helpful and patient with all our requests couldn’t of asked for better service

Vinny is an amazing and funny bartender, had a blast. Hope to see him soon! And good luck to the bar!❤️

Favourite pub in Huddersfield! The staff are amazing. Never a long wait at the bar. Pies are lovely. There's an area for whatever mood you're in. Nice wines.

I love this pub, the staff, the atmosphere, pies, Vinny and the staff are always helpful and friendly. Cheers guys.

charlotte was super accommodating letting me know what wines that they had in store, as well as recommendations for beers for my friend, we felt super comfortable and welcome

Came here to meet my daughter off the train before a town game on a Tuesday night. There seems to be two bars, one focused on cask ales, the other on keg/craft. Amazing range of cask and keg beers. There is also a Pie Minister menu but I didn't try it, as had limited time. We both had a couple of pints here. There was a choice of around 10 keg beers and 12 cask. It was fairly quiet, but still a nice friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

Great service from the team, chris, megan, amber, leena,Claire and Mike xx

We come here quite often when travelling to and from huddersfield by train. The pies by Pieminster are outstanding, I have had the Mooless Moo, Heidi and Kevin, they're all absolutely delicious. I don't like how on a weekend it's served in a box though so weekends we just tend to pop in for a pint rather than eat. Always a friendly atmosphere with both travellers and locals. It's quiet during the week and does get livelier at weekends. We like to sit in the back where it's cozy and has candles on the tables.

Great bar. Good grub! Plus railwayana a plenty! 🚈🚅🛤

A brilliant real ale pub. Ossett beers, which never fails to please. Friendly bar staff. Highly recommend.

Good service , fine cask ales .

Recently had a pie and a pint (well, more than one) here after some issues with the train and it didn't disappoint: great pub. Lots of options, beers were affordable, and great service. Had a really enjoyable discussion with Vinny, Kieran, and Chris about beers from the Low Countries 🇳🇱🇧🇪. Will go there again!

This is another great real ale pub in Huddersfield The pub is near the King's Head in the Train Station Building There are always many real ales on There is a CAMERA discount here, and this pub serves good food with a variable menu daily. The staff in this pub are also very friendly and helpful Monday 1st September 2024 Today, after more than 5 years, I again visited this great pub This pub on Huddersfield station served a plethora of great real ales on handpump The landlord was superb and friendly The pub is a 2 roomed popular alehouse When in this pub 1 real ale is never enough

We had a great stop here on our booze cruise from Leeds to Huddersfield and back. The Head of Steam has been a favourite of mine since my student days at Huddersfield University from 2006 to 2010 and it hasn't changed for the worse. Great selection of ales and ciders, lovely atmosphere, kind and knowledgeable staff who are happy to have a chat, great decoration all over and just overally cozy and lovely. The patrons are typical Yorkshire lads and lasses and you usually find someone to have a chat with. The only thing that sucks, but more for the owners and staff then the patrons is, that the direct access from the platform is no longer available.

Attended here on Friday 16th August as part of a trip for my sisters 60th birthday, we found the most helpful staff i have ever dealt with. Their knowledge of the beers they had on site was amazing and they accommodated us all in the beer garden (around 25 people). A fantastic afternoon.

1st port of call on my visit to Huddersfield. A very friendly welcome was received by me. It was pretty quite on this Saturday lunchtime, which meant no queues at the bar 😊. My Camerons - Road Crew was bang on form. This place is 5 mins walk from the bus station and 5 seconds walk from the train station!! I will definatly visit again. Check out the "Untapped" app for up to date info about ales available. 👍🍻

Not had food but the beer is Fantastic well worth a repeated cost especially if waiting for the train, only had beer not food Staff and really welcoming

Love going here for the open mic night they do every Tuesday. Bar staff are also very friendly

Very nice place. And ideal for a quick quiet drink.

Moo pie with onion gravy accompanied by four pints of Leeds Bitter Simply wonderful, a place to forget your troubles and enjoy a proper English pub. Thanks to all the staff for making our visit so memorable.

We came for drinks with friends on a lovely sunny day and the outside seating was very busy and although there were no seats available a member of staff called Vinny (who was actually off shift at the time) managed to acquire some seats from the back room for us and we had a lovely evening. What a lovely friendly and helpful member of staff. Thank you to the Head of steam and of course their lovely Vinny

Good pub with a great atmosphere

I had to check out who has given 1 star as I’m so appreciative of any pub with such an amazing selection of beer (especially of the Belgian variety which is so hard to come by.. and on tap!!), anyway, someone has wrote “full of drunk people waiting for the train home”. Well that says it all. Hello… people have been working hard and just want a pint. Personally I ended up here after being pissed about by Northern Rail which turned a 32 min round trip into 3h 20m, so you can imagine my delight to come across this little oasis, where I can enjoy a beautiful beer in the sun, whilst waiting for my bloody replacement bus service. Thanks Head of Steam, and to the gentleman behind the bar who seemed as interested in beer as me. Wonderful.

Friendly atmosphere Extensive choice of beers and larger

Went on Jazz night, fantastic. Pies were great. Only pub in Huddersfield to do bread and butter, a great drop. And Vinny and Kieran were lovely, great bar staff.

Vinny was super helpful with a problem I had went far above and beyond ❤️❤️👍👍 also a great pub with different rooms AC massive choice of well kept beers. Right at the station....based on experience and Vinny will recommend to others

Lovely time had, served by Anna & Vyni. Great service with a smile.

Visited on a busy sunny afternoon. Great beer and atmosphere.

Top notch steak pie, 14 cask ales and very friendly. Wished I'd had more time to spend there.

Great pies and fabulous choice of ale

Decent pub but overpriced in my opinion.

Large range of cask and keg. 4 different drinking areas and outdoor seating. Dog friendly.

Decor a bit tired, but great pies and beer! Great piped music, not too loud. Very nice, helpful service too.

Lovely atmosphere, warm and friendly.

Although very busy managed to get served reasonably quickly...didn't get chance to look at the beer range ...but looked OK

Open mike night, very good turnout of semi professional guitar and singing acts, very enjoyable night, very professionally run. Beer slightly expensive but good choice

Good pub, with lots of real ales. Also ideal for train station as pub door lead straight onto platform

Called here for some beers before going for food, they have quite a good selection of real ales but was really disappointed with the barman and his service. There was 4 of us all choosing different ales (we order half's so we can try different ones) so ordered 8 halves some of us had the same ones but one of the beers was off, now we drink enough of the stuff to know a bad beer. He had it the week before so knew it didn't taste or smell right. But when he took it back to the bar the guy told him it was fine and he would have to buy a different one if he didn't want it. Sorry but that is really poor customer service. Think we might avoid this pub in the future.

Lovely please lovely experience

I was surprised at how much this pub had changed from the last time I visited. There was plenty of choices with real ale. They claimed a choice of 18, but I didn't see more than 12 pumps. The food was Pieminster, which I've found to be poor in the past, but this was good fare. Will visit again!

Very shabby.... such a shame as the building is beautiful!

Great beer, great service, dog friendly. Shame the only food they do these days is Pieminster pies, I remember them doing amazing pizzas

Great if you want to taste an excellent Pie... Good selection of beer... Attached to Huddersfield station and opposite St George's Square... Low prices and a true authentic English pub atmosphere! I recommend it to have a pint alone or with friends!

This is a great pub on the station at Huddersfield the staff were very nice sadly wasn’t as many ales to choose from maybe because its January or it had been extra busy. We were there to watch football at Huddersfield v Argyle lots of us away fans enjoying a pint.

Argyle playing "The Terriers" today! Nearly 7hrs after setting off from Devon, I have arrived!! Right alongside the railway station is this impressive pub. Met with the Midlands cronies and had a few jugs. Had a real ale called "Legover" which was excellent. Good speedy bar staff as it was busy. 1400 fans again today. Trouble is these pubs don't cater for the avalanche of fans and consequently within the hour they were down to 2 ales from the original 12 !! They really need to do their research because they are dipping out massively financially by not planning in advance.....Nice pub though with fans from both teams enjoying the camaraderie....

Attended for our annual ‘Uddersfield ‘Ogmanay geocaching event, along with about 25 others. Great beer, good service and friendly staff, especially Clair who joined in our raffle raising money for the Holme Valley Mountain Rescue.

Great pub, excellent service and excellent pies.

Great choice/great atmosphere/ great service.

Lunchtime at the Head of Steam was quieter than I thought it would on a Tuesday. So the atmosphere was quiet. Which might be what you are looking for. It's right on the railway station with taxis and buses but pay parking at the bus station so no excuse about difficult or inconvenient to get to. It's a proper pub, pub. With plenty of real beer choice. It's good well kept beer too. We had the pieminister offer of food which was home made, good value, tasty and filling. Excellent for a cold December day. The real test is would I go again? Yes. The second test is why have I not been in a while? I don't know. Must go again, soon.

Always nip in for a pint when I'm waiting for the train. Nice pub, massive selection of beers and ales and always a good pint.

Good selection of beers and nice food.

Great place, fantastic selection of ales

Fantastic traditional boozer with a great selection of real ales 🍻👍🏻 😋 And pie and mash 😋👍🏻

Great selection of beer and memorabilia

Stopped for a quick drink after arriving at the station. Must be the best station pub.

Pay more than ever for drink disabled but treated like thief if you try exit onto platform disgusted

Great Ales, Good service, Stormin Pies!!!

Great service and very friendly team.

Great pub in excellent location but who was the idiot who made the decision to block access directly to the platform? The doors need to be in use.

On an away day in Huddersfield and saw this boozer walk in friendly staff (must be a northern a thing) loads of local ales and lager. Also its a railway themed pub with loads of rail history. Prefect for a vist while on an away day

Great boozer with a lovely selection of ales. Well looked after.

Great selection of real ales and craft; even had some gluten free options. Friendly staff and good deals on pie and a pint (although I didn't have a pie)

Excellent pub on the platform of Huddersfield railway station. A vast range of cask ales. Dog friendly too. Really good Pie options :-)

Five of us went here on a Saturday afternoon,the staff couldn't have been more helpful with drinks choice.
