Landings 72 in Kirklees

Perfect summer salad bar on offer for a grab and go fast lunch (large selection for a healthy lunch) with fresh tandoori chicken thighs and flatbread. Highly recommend

The food was absolutely amazing. Best meal I've had in ages. It was a tapas menu and top quality fine dining. The restaurant is a very cool space. The students and staff were very attentive and it was a wonderful evening. Plenty of choice. Thank you

Made me feel sick and threw up Hectic environment Bad service/unorganised

Cooked by the students, it was an impressive 5 course dinner, cooked as well and if not better than some professional restaurants. Well done!

Had a Tapas menu, the food was tremendous the quail eggs were divine and the sharing platters vedge and meat were fab; not to mention the chocolate tart with raspberry sorbet. Absolutely delicious and very reasonable too. We will definately be back again

I’ve been here about 10 times and this time I took my wife for the first time. We both had a wonderful time and the food was excellent as always. Posting this review may make it more difficult to book a table. Sharing is caring though. It’s nice to be nice.

Great evening at this little gem with some fab value food and friendly service. Give it a try on one of their theme nights.

Great evening with friends at this little gem in Huddersfield. Part of the college that's only open Thursday evenings with the menu changing every 2 weeks Great value for a fab meal with lovely friendly service .

Visited last night for the first time since lockdown. I introduced 3 friends to the restaurant and they were super impressed. My dessert was the best thing I've tasted in a long time (the tartufo) my only complaint would be that I could have eaten double the portion :D I've had many really lovely meals here, tried food that isn't usually served at mid priced restaurants - pigeon breast being a notable one. It's delicious! I've also had one visit where the wheels fell off. They are students after all! Should that happen on your visit please don't complain. The students know they've screwed up and you shouting doesn't help anybody. Instead, lean into it. Appreciate the drama, the theatre. You'll still get fed, it just might be late or not quite what you ordered. But that's the joy of eating quality food at bargain prices. You get to see the learning process first hand. I love it!

Lovely staff and wonderful Starbucks

The food and service was superb. It was a Caribbean ‘theme’ night with a couple of choices on a set menu. All the dishes were delicious and meticulously prepared. The service was attentive but not intrusive and best of all, a student came out of the kitchen at the end for (rapturous) feedback. Will definitely return; probably for lunch.

An absolute gem, just a pity only evening opening is Thursday. The service, quality of food and drink is unparalleled for the price. The four and five course theme nights are consistently brilliant. Our last visit was the valentines meal and we were not disappointed... can not recommend highly enough.

Love this place student learning all about restaurants and the trade had some good meals

We have visited Landings a few times, it is part of the college and where the food students practice their art. The food is always good, prices low and it's really nice to be part of students training, well worth a visit if looking for a good lunch at a good price.

Came down on my break at college and we ordered a Starbucks coffee and the lady who served me was lovely she was requesting us the dish of the day which was fish and chips so I pre ordered them for 12:10 as we had a early finish so I went down to collect them and yes it was so cheap!! £2.00 for that you got a perfect portion and homemade chips with the skins on and they was tasty... The fish was cooked to perfection.. Crispy, crunchy and flakey!! Loved it!! Definitely be back for another bargain again.. Cheers guys and compliments to all the chefs.

Landings 72 is part of a training College. Nevertheless, the food they produce is very good and all the trainees, which can come from different year groups embrace the challenge. We were a group of 25 and they looked after us very well.

Poor food and even worse service. I

Part of Kirkleescollege a hidden gem

Always a pleasure to visit and see our future chefs. Excellent quality and very good value.

We've just had a fabulous Lunch at the The Landings, each course was delicious and well presented. The Staff were friendly and helpful. well done.

From initial teething problems (with new students), this place is now a god send. The food is amazing and the staff, Katie, Lorna, David and Heather have and continue to do anything they can to help and have become like family. I will thoroughly miss this place when college finishes.

If you get a chance you should go, we have, several times and will be back for more. It is the training restaurant so go in with an open mind, don't be over critical if mistakes are made because we all start somewhere and then with this in mind you will have a fabulous time, great food and service and very reasonable pricing.

Great evening ,food and service was great,would definatelygo again. themanager was very nice and took time to speak to us.

We came for a friends birthday and the theme was Italian. I had the risotto balls, Mediterranean lasagne and tiramisu. The food was average in my opinion and quite lacking in flavour I do think I chose wrong. The presentation was amazing and the service great. Drinks were reasonably priced also, my bottle of red was £12.95. You have to realise they are students and for £13 you get a 3 course dinner with sides. I would return as the atmosphere was great and it seems I chose the wrong main as everyone else in the party had beautiful choices. I tried them.

We've just got back from a meal at Landings 72 where it was their Italian menu. The food was superb and we left feeling absolutely stuffed and very happy. When booking, please bear in mind that these are students so there may be some delays or small errors but they try hard and the food, in particular, is far better than you would get in some of the more expensive restaurants. They even accommodated my son with a simpler meal. We will be back.

Our firm booked this venue for 50ish persons for a 3 course evening meal and disco. The food was excellent and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. It was delicious and well spaced with no rushing to get the courses over and cleared away by the staff like some places. The many tasty dishes were brought out periodically with time to socialise in and amongst whilst sipping the many wines/drinks available. The DJ was entertaining as we danced away and left very contented. The staff were great and the room is very light airy and pleasant. Everyone enjoyed it. I am sure the firm will be re-booking for next year.

Came on a wet Tues for lunch. Had chicken chassure....it was yummy followed by choc brownie and cream...a dream Would highly recommend Landings 72

The catering college do a themed evening menu at Landings 72 on Wednesday and Thursday evenings in term time from 6pm, last tables available at 7.15pm. Parking is available in the college car park free in the evenings, but you must book your table. (This is in addition to the cafe service available during the day).It is a set price menu of 3 courses for £12.95 although some evenings are part buffet and the themes and menus are available well in advance. There are usually choices at each course, depending on the theme. We have been 3 times in the last 4 months including a Christmas meal and an 80's theme meal. The food has been delicious every time and plentiful. The students design the menu options, do all the cooking and some of the serving, sometimes they are a bit hesitant about serving as they are learning - but they are all very friendly and welcoming and that's the whole idea of a college training restaurant. Older age children are welcome, but it is quite a quiet peaceful atmosphere. We are going again soon for the Italian evening and the 50's Elvis evening.

Siendo un colegio totalmente el personal de la recepción puede ser un poco nervioso, pero hacen un trabajo tremendo. Realmente este es un lugar especial, donde más se puede conseguir una deliciosa comida de tres platos con una preciosa vista de la colina del castillo por sólo £12. 95. Altamente recomendado.

We had an excellent meal the students involved certainly made it memorable. Front of house we received a very warm welcome and excellent service.

We won a meal for two we choose burger twice fried chips and onion rings the meal was georgeous well presented and looking at the price menu it was worth the price if I paid for I also the chocolate cake was lovely with cream so a well done to the students who prepared it and also for the hospitality staff to especially the young lad who brought it ketchup and cutlery

This was a good meal for the price and excellent service. The brisket was really tender with a variety of root vegetables. Nice alternatives for desert. I thought that the wine was excellent

Un grupo de 4 fuimos a cenar el 17 de noviembre. Hemos estado muchas veces antes, pero me cansé de la inconsistente calidad de la comida. Sin embargo, tuvimos una ventilacion maravilloso. Todo fue perfecto. La comida era de primera clase y el servicio y el ambiente era inigualable. Estos estudiantes están listos para ir a la gran wide world de empleo si cena thusday era nada a pasar. Quiero felicitar a los tutores. Hemos reservado de nuevo para la próxima semana.

4 de nosotros cenamos aquí para el menú del caribe.

3 comida de corse por menos de 15 libras y gustos precioso! No se podía pedir más que eso! Los administradores son encantadores y serviciales. Personal que son estudiantes de formación en una edad joven, educado y son geniales para decir que son de formación! Sin duda lo recomiendo y volveré.

Caro pero pequeña selección de comida. Pesado en cosas como hamburguesas y pescado y patatas fritas. No muy bueno comer más comidas para llevar

Visited to see the students at work. The restaurant is very well staffed and run with a good choice of meals. Chicken burger with chips was great.

3 of us visited today - what a treat. The staff and students could not have been more attentive. The food was really tasty the portions were enormous! A 'doggy bag' was no problem. I would recommend this to one and all.

We had the absolute pleasure to eat at the restaurant last Thursday evening. We were told the menu had been developed by 2 level 3 students. The food was cooked to perfection & front of house were very attentive & eager to please. Fantastic value food & drink. 3 courses & appetiser for £16.95, where can you get these days. After all these young people could be the chefs of the futute. Would we visit again, you bet! Trying to organise a date for afternoon tea.

Great food, excellent service. Students doing a fantastic job, credit to the college. Highly recommend both a lunchtime visit or a themed night

This is the second visit to the college training restaurant . Taking into consideration that the students cook and serve the food we could not give this a good report.The tutors were in the main not up to the task. Students were wandering about aimlessly with no or very little guidance. Not an experience we will be repeating very soon

Enjoyed a 4 course vegetarian/vegan meal, good options. Offered tap water. Had a chilled white wine. Pleasant surroundings/music. different experience but clean and evaluated the student staff;

Went for dinner last night - 3 course meal on Thursday evening. Good choice and so tasty. Really impressed with the quality of the food sweet chilli noodles with tempura veg - lovely and the drink/food waiting staff were lovely. Cant go wrong for the price.

This restaurant is staffed by the students at the college. It is in a great location and the decor is lovely. The food is great and all the students and staff try hard to ensure that your visit is perfect. The menu varies allowing the students to gain experience of all kinds of food and there are themed evenings. Their fine dining is fantastic. The value for money is exceptional.

This restaurant is brilliant. Considering it is a training restaurant it just cannot be faulted. All the staff want their customers to have a good experience. 5 stars from me.

Just had lunch with my husband at the restaurant and the students did really well for their first time. when they came in they looked petrified but they have to learn and they settled down and were very polite. We will certainly go back again because it was very good. Well done.

I met a friend here for lunch. It is a lovely, clean and friendly place to dine with a nice atmosphere.It was a sunny day so the staff were concerned about us baking in the window, and offered us an alternative table, but we were fine.The staff and students are friendly. The students are nervous, but they are learning and trying their best.Our food was such good quality and value. We both opted for Thai Fishcakes with sweet chilli sauce. They came on a bed of salad that was really well presented. This was a starter dish that we requested as a main, which was no trouble at all.We were then persuaded to have lemon cake with a lemon posset, which was also very attractively presented and tasted awesome!This is a catering restaurant tucked away in the new Kirklees College building. Students do the cooking & waiting on, whilst learning the skills on the job.I highly recommend a visit soon. I'm going back on 10 June!As it's a college restaurant it is only open during term-time.Parking can present a problem. I would advise parking in town & walking down, unless you're lucky enough to get a space in the Mecca Bingo car park.Bon appetit!!

I organised a lunch for 15 former colleagues who are now retired. We were given a three course, three choices in each category menu by the Chef Katie. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and were well looked after by Cameron and his colleagues. It was our second annual lunch and we will be back!! Great value too!!

Just had the special vegan lunch with friends... We had a very enjoyable meal. Lovely food, good presentation, pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent value. All fresh ingredients and definitely more imaginative than vegan food generally is when eating out! Portions were small but suitable for lunchtime and matched the prices - just over a tenner for 3 courses! A tiny change needs to be made if you serve this menu again, because anyone ordering the avocado starter and the wild mushroom parcels as main course basically got the same salad for both, just adjusted slightly. It was very nice, but variety would have been better. All in all, a good experience, and I will be back, and will recommend. :) Other visitors need to be aware this is a training restaurant, so waiters are students, well supervised by staff.

This relatively new restaurant is the training restaurant at Kirklees College. The quality of the food and attention to detail is excellent and represents extremely good value for money when compared to other local restaurants . I have eaten here several times and have never been disappointed with either the quality or the variety of the menus. Customers need to bear in mind that this is a training restaurant and that the "staff" are students learning their craft. This is especially noticeable among the students waiting at table who don always get the basic etiquette correct, e.g. serving female customers first or ensuring that all customers at the same table are served at more or less the same time. Having said that, college teaching staff are on hand to rectify any obvious problems and customer feedback is positively encouraged.

Had a working lunch here in February and will definitely be returning. The surroundings are relaxing, the service is excellent from the students, who are sometimes a little nervous, and the food is amazing. Planning an evening visit next!

We went as a party of 8 on Thursday night ( the only night they are open)The food is exceptional - prepared and served by hospitality students under the supervision of staff Duck to start , roast cod for mains and creme brûlée for dessert and a coffee for £13.00 absolute bargain - you would easily pay £50+ at other establishments around town5 star food for the price of a dodgy takeaway pizza - is there a choice?The students are learning so expect some mistakes but make no mistake this is top end food - not a student canteen - wines are reasonable too at £10-£12 mostly Looking forward to trying lunch there

Visited this college restaurant with 10 colleagues for a Christmas lunch. The service was very good with the students attending to all our needs. The food was of a very high standard and excellent value at £13.95 per head for three courses plus coffee and mince pies. I would definitely eat there again.

Three inspired courses for lunch served very professionally in delightful surroundings. The students and their mentors presented everything splendidly

Absolutely loved everything about dinner at Landings 72. 
The food was innovative, beautifully presented and delicious. We were delighted by all 7 courses of the thoughtfully and creatively designed taster menu, which consisted of guinea fowl with pea shoots and a beetroot foam, a mushroom tortellini with chicken and a cream truffle oil sauce, red mullet with squid ink risotto and deep fried tentacles and herb encrusted lamb with a red currant jus and miniature vegetables. The desserts were a vanilla parfait with dehydrated apple and a caramelised white chocolate mouse with Scottish shortbread, baguette purée and a caramelised milk chocolate feather. All topped off with chocolate petit fours with either a doughnut gnash, banana bread gnash or pine nut caramel filling. Pure bliss on a plate. We can’t wait to return!

What more could you want? Great surroundings, a swanky restaurant and beautifully presented delicious food, at prices that make you smile. All cooked by students and staff who actually really do care that you have an enjoyable dining experience.

Well this was a revelation !Lovely restaurant as part of Kirklees college - food cooked and served by catering students overseen by staff . However this is no canteen - this is fine dining! Varied 3 course set menu for £16.99 represented excellent value. Chilli prawns to start and Jerk Duck leg for mains . Other options included Curried Goat and seared Tuna. There is a Caribbean theme to the menu but not exclusively . They looked after a party of 17 of us and everyone's food was cooked and served to perfection- easily worth £40-£50 which is what you would pay at other top gastropubs. - definitely will be back maybe try lunch next time

Have just enjoyed the best lunch in ages. The food was inspirational, beautifully presented, well cooked, attentively served and priced dead right. Can't wait to go again. A few little extra tweaks would have made it sensational; and as its a training restaurant I would have thought that feedback was an integral part of the process. Minor things really. My liver and bacon starter on a toasted brioche with leaves and herb butter could have managed with less of the latter plus a smigeon of chutney to balance the flavours. The date pudding was offered with toffee sauce or ice cream. My friend and I chose it, so we had a bit of each and it was wonderful with both because it needed both.

We arrived and were shown into a stylish waiting area for pre-dinner drinks. Had a lovely bottle of house white served by a very polite staff member (great wine only £10). Had a delicious 3 course meal for a bargain- lots of choice, the whole party enjoyed the food immensely- great quality food, well cooked and beautifully presented! All in all a fab evening! I'll be back!

Had a table booked for lunch today. We followed the signs to Landings... up the steps to the double doors, they were locked. We could see staff/students inside but we were ignored, so we went into the college and to the main reception. Only one person on the reception desk, but a queue of about 20 students waiting to speak to her. We couldn't see any other way in because there were barriers everywhere and you needed a student pass to get through.Stood in the queue waiting to ask for help, our 12.30 booking time passed by. Decided to cut out losses and head up to Bolster Moor instead.I really wanted to try Landings 72. I attended Huddersfield College back in 1980/81 for the catering course, and knew that if the standards are as high now as they were then, the food and service would have been superb.

I had Christmas lunch with friends. From the moment you arrive the students welcome you with a smile and assistance. The lunch was very good and well served. The students are well managed and encouraged at all times. Intend to return and will recommend to friends as good meeting place. An ideal opportunity to support the young people of our town and have a good meal at the same time.

I went with my work colleagues last Thursday for Dinner, the choice of food was excellent, very well presented and service was very well managed. I have also been for a light bite this lunchtime and again excellent, fantastic value for money, very friendly staff and atmosphereWell done to all the students and staff, it's fab and it's only across the road from work. whoopee

Good quality modern food at an excellent price prepared and served by enthusiastic but sensibly managed staff. The menus are well thought out and carefully presented by students at Kirklees College, which in no way should be seen as a negative; during our visit they made a genuine effort. I had some duck parcel samosas then a good tasting piece of lamb (OK the fat could have been crisped or rendered down a bit more) on a rosti, with some Mediterranean veg. I would encourage anyone from large or small businesses to go for potential entertainment of Clients or just to support their local community; private groups and parties would also be good. It would make for a very satisfying evening or lunch.
