Lower Royal George Inn in Kirklees

Excellent beer absolutely fantastic, excellent service and food

Really friendly and loved it being a real pub and not some so called fake gastro wine bar.

Small quirky pub, with good beer and good food

A small pub with only a few tables , but the food is great , and prices are good .

Great pub grub. Nowt fancy, just good food and service.

Had a excellent meal steve the owner was a great host definitely going to be going back soon 👍

Great service and friendly staff with excellent food. Lovely walks across the moors and a warm winter welcome with a roaring fire. Unfortunately atmosphere was slightly off due to an idiot. I'm glad to say that Steve the landlord dealt with it in short thrift.... Great place

Really good food, staff and customers were very friendly, would definitely recommend. Thank you see you soon.

Stopped for a pint on the way home, after someone mentioned this place in Manchester. Glad I stopped and hope to return to try the food.

First time visit to this traditional pub. Loved the atmosphere and the food ( cooked by Margaret). Will definitely return.

Always good food Never had a poor meal Good atmosphere

Called by on our carriage drive. Pint in the car park brfore setting off again

A traditional English pub, no modern frills or fancies. Good food well cooked, generous portions and reasonably priced. Will visit again.

Lovely beer and lovely food and nice sized portions nice friendly staff

The waitress was lovely and the service was excellent, the food was generally homemade and good quality. The problem was with dessert; I ordered the apple pie and the waitress asked if I'd like it hot or cold. I ordered 'hot apple pie' with cream. When it arrived the pastry looked very white rather than golden brown. I tasted it and found the pastry to be soggy like putty. It also tasted like raw flour so I sent it back. The landlord put th apple pie on my bill so I explained that I had sent it back and felt I shouldn't be charged for it. The landlord became angry and said 'nobody else had complained about his apple pie'. He then marched into the kitchen and came back with the whole pie and barked 'what's wrong with that' at me. I asked if my slice of apple pie had been reheated in the microwave and he snapped ' Of course, how else do you expect it to be warmed up'. This altercation ruined the dining experience so I would not recommend this pub for food purely based on the nasty attitude of the landlord. In the restaurant business and any chef will say that when pastry is microwaved to reheat it, it's ruined. I would of expected the kitchen staff at the Lower Royal George to know that fact. Perhaps they could invest in a 'Pie Warmer' to avoid a reoccurrence of such an easy to resolve mistake. The landlord could also improve his attitude to customer service and check out consumer rights.

Been here today for the first time in a while and how we have been missing out. I had Scampi my wife had fish and chips and it was spot on,cooked to perfection good size portions and at an amazing price we look forward to visiting again soon.

Food pub, wonderful local food Really friendly staff and good beer. I would certainly recommend this pub.

Went back here post covid on a nostalgia trip found it even better than before, wonderful home cooked food in traditional surroundings, highly recommended. Just remember, cash only!

Excellent, 5 star, unbelievable value, staff superb, definitely worth more visits, see you soon.

Nice Guinness but we were told no dogs allowed until after pint was poured. So we drank our pint outside in -2 weather. Staff rude, will never return. Also no food served at 2.15 pm

Great local with lovely home-cooked food from Margaret. However, please note that it is cash only for payment.

Lovely little pub which we called into by chance when passing. Been back in today lovely and warm with two fires. Nice coffee and looks like a large selection of beers and spirits. Large function room with lots of parking. Will return to try the food next time.

Decent homemade food at reasonable prices. Lovely staff.

Called in for a drink on a horrible rainy day, lovely pub, full of Christmas decorations, and a nice fire. Friendly staff

Smashing little pub. Fantastic food. Well kept ale.

Not been here for a few years but went for Sunday lunch and pleased to say that it was still as good as it ever was. The atmosphere is still warm and friendly I won't be leaving it as long till next visit.

Good food and beer served by Great staff

Great as usual. The gammon continues to be the best around

Good beer and good food at very reasonable prices.

Traditional British pub, welcoming and cozy.

Loved this place food was bang on n beer was cool proper traditional pub only down side they need to tell u it cash only bit of a pain if ya goin for a meal to go get cash

I love this pub. Some might say it's outdated or old. Personally I think that's what give it its charm, it hasn't changed since I was a teenager. It's cozy with real fires. Not the electric rubbish. The food is awesome, the landlord is a character. I've seen reviews that say he is rude.utter rubbish He's a yorkshire man straight talking. We celebrated my birthday here, the food is amazing the deep fried black pudding is something I've never had, but will definitely be back for some more delicious. Reasonable prices home cooked food with quality ingredients.

Was OK just disappointed they are still cash only this day and age when no were near a cash point

A proper pub, good beer, good food, a real coal fire and a great welcome. One thing to be aware of is that like real pubs ought it only takes cash, not cards.

The second time we have had a meal there, very good meal both times. Good friendly service, will certainly go again.

Good homely food with a roaring open fire great place for lunch

Just spent a week in Yorkshire and wish we had discovered the LRG earlier. The home cooked food was absolutely gorgeous, with very generous portions. The beer was equally as good, especially the real ales. If you are looking for a traditional Yorkshire pub, with good food, beer and prices to match, the Lower Royal George ticks all the boxes.

Avoid Sunday lunch. Frozen roast potatoes, instant gluteneous mash, frozen Yorkshire puddings, ready sliced beef. So disappointed as we have eaten here mid week and the food was lovely.

Great place....food is always good and plenty of it.

Excellent food and excellent beer

Cash only. Don't take card. Ample car park round back. Good service. Great food, good price and portion. Like an old pub inside, plates on wall log fire etc,. Like. Pubs used to be. Enjoyed it.

Good traditional pub with warm fires. Excellent food and drink. Good value for money.

Proper classic old school pub. Open fire and friendly atmosphere. Keep supporting it. One of the last few left.

Excellent food really brilliant prices really friendly staff. Wonderful place for a good meal and chill out.

Great place pit y about the location good food and plenty of it keeps a good pint living in Dewsbury the only time I go is to meet up with family who live near

Lovely quaint place great homely food too

Nice cosy welcoming pub with homely food menu .being a window cleaner hot food a must..

For such an unassuming place the food is exceptional with very decent prices and good beers!

Very friendly and with the open fire going, it was really nice abd warn on this cokd day. It felt a little like going back in time but gave you plenty to look at.

Tom Robinson one of your employees dropped my chips all over my head and tried to apologies by giving me 25p and a fredo bar, absolutely outrageous table service never again.

Great food and beer well worth a visit. Good value for money.

Very good food service was excellent

Stopped at the Lower Royal George Inn for Sunday lunch on our way back to our hotel. It looked a bit run down, but it was getting late and we thought we would eat there. What a mistake, the Sunday roast was disgusting. The cabbage and carrots were watery and tasteless, the mashed potato was dry and tasteless, the roast potatoes looked like Aunt Bessie’s frozen variety and the Yorkshire pudding also looked like the frozen type. The meat, beef and pork looked like it was bought in ready sliced, which is why no crackling was available. If you want a decent Sunday lunch, keep going and find somewhere where it’s not all frozen and warmed up in a microwave.

Just called on day off to grab some food . Glad we did lovely little pub with homemade food reasonably priced too.

Ok for a stopping off for a quick drink. Not tried the food, not really a great welcome, but....

A traditional pub with good food and friendly service.

Great original type pub, good price beer and food, highly recommended.

Great traditional pub with super food at a good price. It's a while since I last visited but I will return soon.

Lower Royal George a fine country pub with friendly staff serving great ales and excellent food. Well worth a visit.

Loved it a great place friendly staff very clean will definitely come again. Huge 👍

Friendly service. Food looked and tasted loverly. Big plates full of food. Very reasonable price too. Xx

Only stayed for a quick drink but quaint little pub with a lovely view

Great food, interesting selection of real ales.

nice food ' a good pint pleasant staff worth a drive out see the country side . . .

cracking place! well worth a visit.

Trading in the 19th century. Don't know how in this day and age a restaurant refuses card payments and only accepts cash. Just ludicrous. At least they advertised it on the front door, so we didn't even make it inside.

Good pint of Guinness, nice wine and good Sunday lunch for 8 quid! Very old fashioned inside, with a real fire!!

Brilliant if you enjoy gammon .

warm welcome with a good selection of hand pulled beers. A nice menu at a good price plus a place to meet friends

Call in today for something to eat why we was in the area. Really good food and landlord and landlady was excellent well worth a visit. Loved the unusual decor and coal fire we will be going back.

Been here many times when visiting the In-Laws - great portions at great prices...A dollop of Yorkshire kitsch, and Steve and Margaret are the perfect hosts. Porky platter is a must!

Reasonably priced home made food. The place needs a revamp only to make it have 5 stars. Uncomfortable bench seats or buffets. Take me back to the 50's

Like going back in time: 3:15pm and they were just about to shut when we popped in on Saturday afternoon...

The plates and cutlery and condiments were sticky and horrible we had to change the plates

Never disappoints fantastic food

Called in for a late Sunday lunch. Only two other customers in when we arrived around 5pm. Whilst we sat "admiring" the weird late 80's decor we could hear the ping of our meal being prepared! We should have left. Our meal arrived.....roast potatoes that had been re heated so much that they contained grease and no potato?? Lumpy gravy, part warmed mash.....when the staff came to collect our plates and asked the usual "was everything alright"? I said that no it wasn't and in particular the roast potatoes were disgusting. His response was would I like to see the dessert menu??? We declined and left never to return!

My family and I celebrated a special occasion here, a big thank you to them , the food was excellent the service was very good we were a large party, everyone enjoyed their meal . If you need help with anything Margaret is very obliging could not have been better, not one grumble in a large party takes some doing, so once again a big thank you Lower Royal George.

massive portions and nice food at reasonable prices

My Wife and I enjoyed a most enjoyable meal here yesterday evening. As the food is not pre-cooked you should be prepared to wait maybe half an hour for it to arrive but,believe me,it is worth waiting for. My Wife had a fish dish for her main course and I had a Gammon Steak. Both were cooked to perfection and the portions were generous. I note a previous review was critical of Steve,the Landlord and other staff members but I found the Landlord to be polite and attentive and the young lady who served our food could not be faulted. As far as pub grub goes this place takes some beating - Well prepared food at a reasonable price. Another good point is that they have a fairly good selection of bottles of wine again at a reasonable price. We will return.

Always great food friendly staff and good atmosphere
