Holmfirth Tavern in Kirklees

Table of 9 ladies visited on a Wednesday evening for our book group, on recommendation from one of our family members. After a warm welcome from the owner, we were seated in the upstairs dining area which was lovely and cosy. Interesting decor and ambience. Music-themed, the bar has music events regularly aa well. We were all served our food at the same time, something much larger local operations have failed to achieve! Excellent food and very good value, especially the steak special offer. A great choice of drinks too. Free popcorn and water provided for the table as well, a nice touch. Our waitress was friendly, smiley and helpful and we were all very impressed, so much so that we've already booked a return visit for our Christmas 'do'. I intend to visit again before then as well. Highly recommended.

Not happy the cancelled my order threw Uber eats and now they are refusing to give me a refund they said that the delivery driver was outside and I didn't answer yet there is a ring doorbell on the door no one came to the front door don't order threw Uber as they are dodgy

Just visited with our book group, we had a great night, lovely room upstairs, great selection of beers, simple food choices but everything cooked freshly and delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was so good we booked to go on our Christmas book meeting. Give it a try, Wednesday is steak night £8 for steak and chips, it was very good too. 9 happy ladies.

We booked as part of mum’s 80th birthday celebrations. Initially worried it would be a bit outside my parent’s comfort zone but shouldn’t have been concerned. Good food. Friendly staff. And great live music. Mum loved it despite being next to the oldest in the place. Highly recommend

no poppadoms that i had ordered .

7.15 notified out for delivery, 7.55 arrived and all cold. disappointed 😞

amazing!!! my daughter loved the pizza and I loved those chicken wings!!! amazing!!! will be ordering again 😊

Didn’t deliver the order. Did not contact me. The number doesn’t work to contact them. Left without any dinner, horrific service.

Great Food Always! I highly recommend 👌

The chicken was over cooked and food was cold

Great place for a bite to eat. Friendly staff and good food. Great atmosphere. Ideal location in the centre of town and close to the Picturedrome music venue.

Terrible customer service. Cancelled the order 1-Hour after placing it stating the driver couldn't deliver. When contacted the takeaway claimed they didn't have time to deliver, were too busy and I couldn't order a takeaway tonight, no apology. Wouldn't order again.

Been wanting to try Tav out for a while with so many of my friends telling me to go Amazing atmosphere, made even better by the staff...first time for the food, and it took me straight to Tennessee with the epic burger and drink meal on a Thursday. Can't wait to come back, probably will try a Saturday or Friday night, as they bring over loads of singers and bands from across US and UK

The pizza was bad. Virtually no tomato sauce, so it was just dry dough with cheese on it. It's not hard to make a pizza.

Booked this place without hesitation based purely on the reviews. That was a mistake. It’s cosy and tucked away and the industrial look decor is quite pleasant if you ignore the fact that your feet stick to the floor 🥺. Ordered the nachos with hot chilli and melted cheese to share as a starter (the clue is in the word, ‘starter’) For main we ordered breaded, boneless chicken with dips and a side of fries. Everything arrived together 🤷🏻‍♂️ The chilli cheese nacho dish was stone cold obviously onviously been sat on the side waiting for the chicken to be cremated (air fryer ?) to the point that it looked almost like a basket of charcoal. Someone (manager/owner) came to ask if we were happy and I pointed out the chicken which he took away and brought something that looked better but was still pretty dry. Didn’t have time to make an issue as we were in town for a gig and the girl who served us said it was her first night there but when we paid he gave us a discount without being prompted. Obviously that bad 😞 It wasn’t busy, in fact there were was only one other couple dining. Maybe the cook was on holiday and they’d pulled in a Big Issue seller off the street to fill in 🧐 I wouldn’t go again or recommend it.

Tonight I was introduced to a hidden gem in Holmfirth. We went to a gig to watch the fabulous Steve Cade and Luke Flear, held in the upstairs part of the bar. The bar is so cute, the rustic decor and atmosphere was amazing. The bar staff are so friendly, and Chris the owner went out of his way to ensure everyone enjoyed the evening. They weren't serving food, but when I told Chris I had not eaten due to getting home late, he rustled up some BBQ wings and fries for me. Everyone had a fabulous evening and I will definitely be back. Thank you to Chris and his fabulous team for a great evening 😀 x

delivery time was brilliant 20mins early than expected but the curry & rice were really bland little to no flavour at all.

lovely food today it was not cold

the pizza arrived and it was cold very dissatisfied and really disappointed with the food .

Hands down the best nachos I've ever eaten!!! Also the chicken wings! Also the kids meals.....okay so clearly it's all amazing 10/10 for food. Brilliant atmosphere, excellent live music, fantastic service. Absolutely zero things to complain about. Stellar place!!!

lovely tasty food There was plenty of it too.x

Amazing as always! I recommend you to all of my friends and family. My go too takeaway, thank you

this was the first time ii ordered a pizza from this place and it was spot on brilliant service and brilliant food

Food was dry and tasted hanging. Bhajis were undercooked. Chicken tikka looked like it'd been dipped in gravel. Not impressed.

After a truly amazing concert (Tommy Emmanuel) at the 'Picturedrome', 'Holmfirth Spice' gave me the 'Single BEST' Doner kebab I've tasted in YEARS!! 💖 Not only that!.. it came wrapped in paper (first) then foil.. and, once opened and tasted, I 'KNEW' I would have to write a review!! So.. 'THANK YOU, HOLMFIRTH SPICE'! You're the 'GO TO PLACE' for me!!! I'll be looking at your menu, every time I leave the 'Picturedrome'! You're a credit to Holmfirth!! 🍒😊

The bread for the burger kind of falls apart after a couple of bites but overall it was perfect

Had a kebab special Chicken Shiah kofta salad on a nan . Absolutely disgusting chicken shish cut in to tiny pieces kofta small asked for salad slithers of lettuce asked for mayo none husband asked for chilli £. 7.50 two scoops of meat in the Nan it was wet cold Nan and hardly any meat for that price . We like kebabs but when we got in our car to eat this we can honestly say ripped off . Why cut the meat like mince salad none we counted 6 slithers no onion cucumber etc so what you get is not what’s advertised , we are visitors here so are they rip off merchants we have taken photos and will be reporting to standards of fair trading as this empty Nan break’s advertising on wall . Anyone going there please think again I see they have a 5 is that genuine well our photos don’t reflect that needs health and safety in as it was cold

Absolutely unreal food delicious peri peri cheesy chips where excellent and the kebab tray was of a great quality I loved the food and will definitely order again

Food was so delicious ,delivered on time as well .

First time ordering from this place the food is lovely

First time I’ve ordered from here. Quick turnaround meal for one. Cracking value. Came early

Cannot fault it, cracking pint, excellent value steak dinner, clean, welcoming, what more do you need, will be back soon!

Absolutely brilliant tasty fresh very delicious

We decided to have a steak. It was beautiful. Everything was perfect. Great service and great V.F.M I will definitely go there again

Food was delicious and still hot when it arrived. The bag was a little messy which made dishing up difficult but it wasn't an issue at all. We'll be ordering from here again.

Placed order at 7.30pm for 8.30pm delivery. Arrived at 9.20pm. Called twice for updates, and given times that weren’t stuck too. Have ordered from here many times. Unfortunately won’t be again. Sorry.

Missed a curry from the order and took 40 mins to deliver the missing curry

I lived in the states for 15 years and when I moved back to England, I always craved a proper American cheeseburger. I searched high and low but could never find anything that was quite right. McDonald’s, Burger King, five guys, just wasn’t cutting it. Then on a Friday night I stumbled across this lovely quaint bar in Holmfirth. I got myself an American cheeseburger and oh boy, was it yummy. The burger patty was cooked perfectly and it was so juicy. American cheese was melted on the patty and was finished off with mayo lettuce bacon on a sesame seed bun. Genuinely the best burger I’ve had since leaving the states, if not better. I also had deep fried Oreos and they were heavenly.

Had a great evening at Holmfirth Tavern. The staff were amazing and there was such a great atmosphere. Food was really tasty too! Would definitely recommend.

Superb hidden gem in Holmfirth. A genuine dedicated Coutry Music Bar, with special live performances from the new generation of country stars. Excellent range of cocktails, especially the Old Fashion's, 5 different versions to experience. Beautiful range of classic American style food, wings and burgers are plentiful and trust, some of the best wings I've had outside of the USA, served with the classic blue cheese and celery

Class food very tasty and all round delicious.

What a fantastic place, the food, service and entertainment all exceptional, will defo return and bring more friends along

40 of us come over from Sheffield for my brothers 30th birthday and wow what an amazing night. Chris the owner looked after us and made sure we had the best night, he even performed for us which was brilliant. Lisa the main act was incredible. The service was brilliant. And the food wow I’m still thinking of the wings now. Great drinks and such a lovely place with a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend and we can’t wait to come back.

amazing! just couldn't find any shrooms on pizza but nevermind! was really nice! highly recommended 👌

Very nice food and great service has become my go to for a quick and delicious meal highly recommend

Great food, good portions and delivered within eta

Shouldn't take over 2 hours to deliver food less than 2 miles away.

Good for drinks and live country music, however the food is not as good it was before. Please bring back the previous menu and chef, as on 23/03/2024 I have tried this new menu, and I’m sorry to say it’s been very disappointing.. the portion sizes are very stingy, comparing with the previous ones, and the food very salty (despite having ordered three different items from the menu, all were salty). Didn’t want any confrontation, so I have paid the bill without causing any issues for the staff. The disappointment was higher, when I have tried positively feed-backing this experience to one of the waiters/bartenders on my way out, for my feedback to be dismissed. I am considering to be coming back for drinks and the great music, but definitely not for food.

Good food, as ordered and before estimated time

It’s an hour after order time . Food was very late . Very nice but not warm . Also still waiting for drinks that are not with my order .

This spot is great for meating family,going out for food or just swinging in to say hello to there verry kind staff members!!!The Tavern does outstanding food and a great selection of ice cream and other deserts!!!overall great (dog fiendly) bar. ☆☆☆☆☆

Had food and drinks for my birthday, all were amazing. The cocktails were to die for and the food was lovely and massive portions.....took some home. The staff were great, very friendly and welcoming will definitely return.

Visited Holmfirth Tavern last night with a friend for a few drink and was treated to great service from Alesha and co. Tavern also had some great live music playing. Great place to visit.

We always love the tavern. It's a local haunt for us, the service is great, lovely beer and nice food. Georgia served us so it's lovely to be able to give her some positive feedback.

We came to get some food. The cocktails were that good that we came back in the evening for some more. The staff were welcoming. The food was amazing. The drinks were great. You should definitely come here for food and drink ks.

Arrived early. Food was hot on arrival and good quality will order again

The food is amazing and ready very quickly when picking up. however I tried to call to see how long it was gonna be and couldn’t get through I was gonna ask if I could pick up instead as I go past and was on my way to something (ordered at 6:30) and couldn’t get through so now had to sit and be late due to waiting time….. Other than that the pizzas are top notch from here and highly recommend

Driest donner meat I’ve ever had. Tasted like it had been left on the side a week. Partner said chips were stale. Wouldn’t order again

My starter was missing rang up said on its way an hour after main which I also waited an hour .starter never turned up

Still not arrived! My children are crying! Not happy

Food was lovely warm on time but was missing popadoms apart from that were all happy

I have had lots of meals now from here. The quality and service is excellent, I have had many of their dishes and I would reccomend them to anyone. Our food is always on time, the orders are.always accurate and the food is always hot and of a restaurant quality. I can't speak highly enough of what they do. Top quality stuff.

Ordered a 4 cheese pizza and burger cheese on a margarita isn't it. Poor effort guys.

starter was nice the two curries two much salt had to bin them poppadoms spot on meal spoiled by the curries

Wow the best chicken tikka kebab I’ve ever had! I didn’t care that it was 20 minutes late as the quality and quantity was spot on! Will always use holmfirth spice going forward! Upset the mint sauce I ordered wasn’t included but luckily I had some in the fridge.

The tavern was absolutely rammed! To be fair everywhere in Holmfirth was rammed due to a picture drome gig. Nowhere could make space for us. Lovely Georgia made us extremely welcome. Found us a little spot and provided excellent service. Food was delightful. Burgers all round. Would totally recommend

Amazing venue, amazing food, amazing service, amazing music. Can't recommend highly enough if you want a warm welcome and friendly atmosphere. I'd advise to book on peak nights. All the staff were lovely, especiall Georgia who looked after us with well with a friendly manner and no pressure to hurry up (which, for my other half making a decision, is invaluable :-D ).

Delicious thanks. Delivered at the beginning of the stated delivery slot.

Great food - but their new website is awful. Difficult to navigate-writing cuts off in places so you can’t read it properly - I gave up in the end. You’re better off phoning to place your order.

Got a meal deal for 1. Great value for money, amazing food, great size portions. Only complaint it arrived nearly an hour and 20 minutes late but a warm over can sort that in minutes!

Amazing night. Thank you Chris and staff. Atmosphere warm and inviting. Food delicious ( I had a buffet for a ' jobs leaving do'). Help immediately on hand, although rarely needed as everything required already anticipated. Live music on another night out there was fab too. Will be back

Amazing place, lovely staff, great food and music. The red wine is excellent too. Love it here, with my partner or kids.

Holmfirth spice are local legends after some how just eat messed my address up and I rang them to see where my food was they explained they had the wrong address they the proceed to cook me a new batch of food and delivered with in 15mins thank you so much my favourite takeaway in my area!!!!!

Great little pub with a lovely atmosphere! Food is delicious, drinks range is excellent including local beers. There's often iive music too.

Food arrived within the specified time window given, the delivery driver was friendly. Kebab was as good as always, we tried a stuffed crust margarita pizza as had been torn between ordering from here or Dominos and I have to say it was very nice, highly recommend as a more affordable option than Dominos, will definitely be ordering a stuffed crust again.

Fantastic food and delivery, will use when required without question

Was really late and just warm even though they are just round the corner

Best NYE really good atmosphere, food was amazing- not too busy so could get to the bar and really enjoy the music. Down stairs was quieter so you could chat amazing set up guys well done fab night!

Amazing 2023 NYE, we had food, drinks and enjoyed the amazing music put on. Partying from 7pm too well gone midnight! Love this place and will be back for certain. Very well run evening. Food, staff and music all 10/10

Thanks for another great night!!! Food was spot on and stevie O'connor was fab!!! So glad we chose holmfirth tavern for NYE, it didn't disappoint 🙂

Second time at the holmfirth tavern last night, as before chris and the staff couldn't do enough for me and my date.. music and atmosphere is immaculate Thankyou xo

Best place in Holmfirth, great music and great people! Seen the New Year in at the Tavern for the last 3 years, and as always we had the best time!! Thanks to Chris and the team!

As a regular at the tavern, it never disappoints! Chris is not just an amazing owner but a fantastic singer and always makes you feel welcome!! We visited last night for NYE and it was a fantastic evening as always!!!! Thank you to Chris and the team for always making sure we have a good evening Ps don’t go to Ys bar it is dirty

Had an amazing time last night for NYE at the tavern. The atmosphere was great, everyone having a good time. Really friendly bar staff, great and reasonably priced drinks/shots and the entertainment was fantastic. Wish we had come earlier and had some food as it...

I didn't get the pizza I had ordered

All really good. Tasty as always. Delivered bang on time on Christmas Eve.

We so wanted this place to be great. It was my birthday weekend and the country music on offer could have been ideal. We turned up on Friday. It was chaos. The‘singer/owner’ had left carnage when he had left the previous morning. The poor staff...

First time here for drinks only. Really friendly and good beer (even for a lager drinker). Great service, decent prices and atmosphere. Will be back for grub deffo.

was very nice lovely thank you.

Big order, big food, big bellies

Excellent food and service. Would highly recommend

Lovely! On time. Nice & hot. Curries were so nice! Thankyou!!

Love this takeaway food delicious

The food items weren't hot and the mint sauce was off and chicken bland, disappointed today

Couldn't have asked for a better place to spend an evening (or2) listening to live music. Everything from the manager, bar staff , down to the live music and atmosphere was 10 out of 10. Everyone , locals and visitors alike made myself and my...

Stayed in Holmfirth for the weekend and spent a couple of nights in here, live music was great and a friendly atmosphere by all the locals, we will definitely be back again.

Not ordered for a few months. Chips were soggy and not very well cooked. Kebab was nice but not much kebab meat.

Always really tasty food, delivered hot & by friendly staff!

This is definitely the place to go. Absolutely love it here, it’s mine and my partners special place and even more so now we got engaged at the tavern, thanks to Chris for singing our favourite song. Emilia was outstanding both Friday and Saturday night,...

Garlic bread was out of this world. Mixed kebab was full of solid chunks of meat. Can't complain! Service was slow but was at a peak time and a large order can't really hold it against them but it far exceeded the initial time.
