Nags Head Inn in Calderdale

Ordered a 3 course meal, after waiting 20 mins between main and dessert, asked the waitress.....it gets put 'on hold' till you actually ask for it.....not a problem if you are au fait with this rule.

Need a mortgage for food, no tv for sports, bang average

Lovely food served by friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming staff in great surroundings with a nice atmosphere, highly recommended.

Place looks beautiful, tastefull decor, great service and amazing food. Not over priced and ample parking. Really lovely place to go.

Food was lovely! We were served by heather who was very friendly and professional!

Beautiful old country pub, good menu and nice choice of beers ,lagers and cider

Good country pub with good selection of food. Always a favourite when in Huddersfield.

We had a lovely evening at the Nags head, it has a warm, cozy vibe and the staff were so helpful and amazing. The food was also amazing too! will definitely come back again!

Excellent food and service. Friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend for any future occasions.

The Nags Head is so welcoming and warming we absolutely love it. Red wine by the fire, candles and cosy corners. Just wanted to shout out to Heather who is just the most wonderful and welcoming host

Lovely pub, great food & service, a bit pricey. Only real fault was it was freezing in the pub, a cold winters day and couldn't feel any heating.

Lovely place to meet up with friends and have good food. It is cosy and warm, especially in these colder months. Heather was fantastic, welcoming and friendly making sure we had the best experience there.

The food we had was poor. The menu is expensive here. If I’m paying £19 for a bowl of chicken curry, it better be good - and it wasn’t. Salty, overcooked, flat, dry. Felt like yet another pub trying to put out a premium sounding menu charging a premium price and failing to employ a premium chef or manager overseeing food quality. Shame as the venue and service staff were decent.

Food was amazing as always! The staff couldn’t have been any better, especially Daisy. She was so polite and friendly, went above and beyond to make our experience at The Nags Head Inn amazing! Will definitely be returning!!

Just popped in for some tea, food was beautiful, we had the pizza and the signature burger, service was great and everyone was really welcoming! Would highly recommended

We came here from Liverpool as we were staying nearby. Stunning service from Daisy and the food was amazing. The outside of the pub itself looks like a movie! I will visit here again!

Brilliant experience - popped in for a drink and tea with my partner. Daisy is brilliant and seemed very eager to serve the customers. Us including. Lovely girl & an infectious smile, makes the service all that better.

Amazing experience at the nags head, food was beautiful & the service was amazing! Daisy was our waitress and nothing was too much of an ask. Will definitely be back!

Food was beautiful! Just popped in for tea, service was fast, everyone was really welcoming, will be back. Thank you!

Had the haddock and spinach fish cakes which were really tasty. Chips were fresh and crispy and green veg done to perfection. Mum had sprong onion mash instesd of chips which was also very good.

It's a nice looking pub, but it's pricey and the food is rubbish! Its just warmed up freezer food. You can tell non of it is freshly made. I had the steak pie (£16/17) with some hard veg and oven chips. The pie was so dry and tough. My partners breaded chicken thing wasn't any better. Then we ordered pudding, thinking surely they can't go wrong here. i had the choc brownie and i think it was the worst I've ever tried, it was so floury . Even sending all most full plates back we weren't asked if the food was alright, probably because they know how rubbish it is. All in all 2 mains and 2 puddings was almost £60 the nicest thing we had was an appletiser drink. We definitely wouldn't go back. If you want a nice pub meal, I would Not recommend.

Such a nice little pub, great customer service, thanks for the recommendation Lizzie!

Friendly pub and restaurant. Though not eaten for many years, we have recently been walking and conveniently included the nags head in the walk. Staff have always been friendly when serving, good seating inside and outside. Update 12 Nov 24 - last several weeks we have been trying the bar snack menu. Its not bad for a snack, pretty good choice. Was 3 for £10 but increased to £12 fairly recently. The staff were wonderful this evening.

Love this place. Staff are super friendly and food is really good. Never had a bad experience!

We had lunch at this great place. A proper English pub with great food, friendly staff and good atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Went back recently after a great first experience but our 2nd visit was so bad I'm changing my review. The staff (one girl was lovely, this applies to the rest) need some in depth courses in customer service. Appalling. Your manager should be ashamed of how you all handled things. Will not be going back.

Great atmosphere for midweek--it felt more like a Friday night. We arrived at 16:30 and the pub was already busy with people eating. It felt slightly understaffed. There wasn't a dedicated person behind the bar, we had to go and find someone. The same with the food--no one came to ask if everything was OK so my friend had to go and find someone to request fresh French fries. Other than that, it's a great location just of the M62 so good for a meet up with friends coming from Lancashire. I liked the cosy bar area and we also had a 40% discount voucher (for mains) which was very good.

Standard menu but nice and varied. Great food and great service. Seating area for if you have your dog. Open on a Monday and popular. Can book online. Fab:)

Attended the RSPCA Halloween event today at the Nags Head and it was a lovely day. The venue was clean, cosy and all staff were welcoming. We will be sure to return. Thank you.

Good food, on the pricey side and selection could have some lighter options that aren't salad. I ended up with a soup starter and a side dish. Tasty soup with lovely bread and generous portion of butter. Delicious haloumi fries with chilli dip. My son had buttermilk chicken burger with fries, he enjoyed his meal.

We visited on Friday evening for a quiet meal and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The staff were attentive and friendly. However, there were 2 families with 4/5 year old children who allowed them to spend the whole meal running around the restaurant, annoying the guests. When you are paying hard earned money, wishing to spend a pleasant evening then having it ruined by ill mannered parents unable to control their children, is totally unacceptable and totally spoiled our evening and forced us to leave without having desserts or coffee.

Great quality and big portions for Sunday lunch

Larger eating area than expected, tastefully decorated. Nice surroundings. All our food arrived quickly. Young ladies serving us were polite and very personable. Meal was good. Bit expensive

Nice pub restaurant, the portions are generous and tasty.

slow service but food was great as always so happy to wait

The vegetables where too eldenty for me , (our personal preference), my wife who is in hospitality said the same

Went for Sunday lunch and was so pleased. Food was fab and the building is stunning. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Will happily travel the hour to go there again

Staff were very friendly and helpful ! Good was lovely, good proper chips ! Will be back again

Came in for a few drinks and some food on the weekend with my mrs, happy with everything, staff were really friendly and helpful, place was lovely would 100% reccomend

Great food and comfortable place to relax

Lovely place, great food and good customer service! The steak sandwich is the best, highly recommend it. Beth is always friendly and makes us feel welcome.

First time visiting - food was very good and a lovely atmosphere. Felt very cosy.

Service slow, food lovely but over priced

Welcoming and friendly restaurant. We arrived after a long day of travelling in a car. We checked into our hotel next door and headed straight here for dinner. Upon entering the staff were very friendly and interacted with us and our children straight away, entertaining my 2 year old by saying hiya every time he did. Our order was promptly taken and food arrived quickly. My partner ordered the pie, I ordered the chicken burger and my soon had a pizza from the kids menu. All tasted delicious and was good value for money. We were then offered the dessert menu, we ordered the crème brûlée and the honeycomb dome, the presentation of the dome was fantastic and both desserts tasted great. Our main thought about the restaurant however was how great and accommodating the staff are, we would like to say particular thanks to Michael and Leah, both are a credit to the restaurant.

We came here on Saturday night for a meal after googling the best place to eat in Huddersfield. Only 10 mins drive from our premier inn central where we were staying for work. We had the lamb with the red wine jus which was beautifully cooked and the drinks were lovely along with their staff.

There was no meringue in the dessert just fruit and masses of cream. I only order this because I like the meringue

Happened upon this pub whilst up in Huddersfield for the weekend. A beautifully presented pub with plenty of choice of drinks. Also dog friendly. The food was superb, the best we've had in quite some time. The service staff were brilliant and welcoming, Leah was our server and she was first class, very attentive without being overbearing, easy to talk to and answered any questions we had. If we ever go back up that way we'll be sure to pop in again.

Nice place, clean and inviting. Pleasant staff good menu, tasty food and good bar selection. Very pleased and would recommend.

Came here for dinner with some friends, the food was amazing, and the service by Jo was excellent, we could not fault the pub. Will definitely be back.

Brilliant service from Chantelle and amazing food

Very good food and great service from staff member Chantelle ☺️

Lovely food and exceptional service from the waitress called chantelle

Wonderful pub, great atmosphere, good selection of hand pulls and draught lager served by chantelle

Had a wonderful time, thank you to Harvey

Wonderful service from Harvey, will visit again

Came for dinner with my family. The food was excellent, would recommend the fish and chips. Will definitely be back, could not fault our service by Jo she was polite and friendly.

The whole experience was excellent, the food was more or less priced at "pub grub" level but the quality was several notches above that. The staff were attentive & polite & the building was clean tidy & welcoming, it was a comfortable environment which made me want to stay longer. The only (slightly) negative comments I would make are that the ashtrays outside do need emptying & wiping quite often (the one at our table was full) & on a personal level it irritates me to pay £4.40 for a pint of real ale but hey ho I will get over it!

Nice pub, not cheap meals , lovely beef steak pie,nice staff

Such an amazing atmosphere! Friendly team. And the food is to die for!!

Service was slow and steak was tough. Steak sauce was tasteless. Overpriced for quality

Food was late (supposed to be here at 7:45pm), kept the poor driver waiting for an hour in the restaurant, when it finally arrived (9:05pm) the food was room temperature at best. Ordered cheesy garlic bread, did not have cheese.

I've never needed to find a dog friendly restaurant till my brother announced a surprise trip to Huddersfield this weekend. He took me out for a meal for my 50th birthday. I'm so glad I picked the Nag's Head! My brother, SIL and nephew live in Oxford. Which has loads of dog friendly pub restaurants in the picturesque outskirts. They were blown away by the selection and quality of the food, the ambience etc. The steaks were perfectly cooked. The lamb rump was delicious. But the thing that really stunned them was the fact that dog friendly MEANT dog friendly and not just dog tolerating. Water bowls, treats etc for the little princess. It gave me a smug Northern glow that, in their eyes, the Nag's Head offered the same standard of food they'd expect in Oxfordshire, but at slightly lower price and with better customer (and doggy) service. Keep it up!

delectable food, some of the best i have had in a while. service was immaculate our server kira looked after us very well bar service was grand aswell. will be back

Just had a lovely meal out at nags head food 6 grand as well as our lovely server Kira would go again

Excellent service by Leah, very friendly and polite, very good food, tasty and a good portions.

Really lovely building. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Really good with asking about allergies and checking certain things with the chef. Nice calm vibe and great good. Will definitely return

Absolutely fantastic, staff are lovely. Would 100% recommend :)

Was looking for a place to eat near Fixby and a Google lead us here. Not a huge menu but plenty to choose from and what we ordered (pie of the day) was exceptional. Reasonably priced too. Plenty of seating and I imagine quite the sun trap outside on a good day. Would recommend!

TLDR: Lovely, dog-friendly and homely place to drink and eat from an ever-popular Vintage Inn brand. Great food and drink and a lovely atmosphere. Away from the main roads, but next to the motorway (so you can hear the hum of that when outside) is this lovely pub! Step in and you feel like you’re in a modern Yorkshire pub. There’s decent ales, cocktails and wines on offer, lots of choice. Theres bar snacks aplenty and then there’s the main food. The layout is comprised of three main areas: Bar with ample seating, casual dining Mid restaurant near an open fire (closer to the bar, more casual) Main restaurant in the converted barn (slightly more formal, but still casual) The food is superb, especially for the price. Expect around £20-£30 a head with a simple drink (don’t be saying I didn’t get the average right when you’re buying a £10 cocktail too 😂) The Arancini is a lovely starter full of flavour, and so is the garlic button mushroom dish. The penang curry with chicken or whatever you like actually is flavoursome, fruity, and floral with the jasmine rice. Steaks are always cracking quality for the price, as is gammon and fish and chips. For desert, we’ve had brownie, crumbles, ice creams…all of them actually. The flower pot is fun and novel and very tasty too! Don’t forget to get the app and collect rewards; they are good (like £10 off food after two visits!) Hopefully you found this helpful! Give it a like if you did so others see it 😉

I recently dined at Nags Head and was thoroughly impressed by the wonderful service and delicious steak. From the moment we walked in, the staff were welcoming and attentive, ensuring that our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the steak. Cooked to perfection, it was tender, flavorful, and simply melted in the mouth. The accompanying sides were equally delightful, complementing the main dish beautifully. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients truly stood out. However, the calamari was a bit of a letdown, as it was overly cornstarchy, which detracted from its overall flavor and texture. This was a minor hiccup in an otherwise excellent meal. Overall, Nags Head exceeded my expectations with its top-notch service and outstanding cuisine. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with a fantastic steak in Huddersfield. I will definitely be returning soon.

This is a vintage Inn with a loyalty card and good discount. Good food but could do with bigger choice menu. Service was a bit slow. Overall, it was a good experience and would go again. After 4 visits on the loyalty card, spend 60 pounds and get 30 pounds off.

Always good here. Been going for years.

Love this place... The vibe, the staff, the food... All amazing. It's a gem of a place. Anytime Im in Huddersfield and someone asks where we're going for food.... It's always here. The building is mint and the interior rustic and on point. It's casual and comfy.

The food was sublime!!! Staff were great. And the overall ambiance really nice. Only minor complaint was I asked for my meal without Yorkshire puds and potatoes in exchange for extra meat, but didn’t get any extra meat. (I recommend the beef Sunday dinner - the gravy is sublime).

This is the second time we've eaten here and both times the food has been excellent, freshly cooked and really tasty. We normally have our dogs with us and are allowed to eat in the bar area. Reasonable selection of drinks available. Very handy for access to the M62

Meeting up with friends before attending another function. We needed a quick lunch and a drink. Menu was perfect for this. Lovely service. All food great for our party of 9. Only small criticism is that ladies toilets need small refurbish. Also had a big car park.

Foods great value for money lovely atmosphere and lovely accommodating staff

Visited as part of a large group for a meal. Pre booked the food, Everything on the day was spot on, good service, lovely food. Nice place, Will be back

Came here the other day for a meal with my family. Amazing food and great service from our waitress keely, was very polite and attentive. Highly recommend 👍🏼👍🏼

Had a lovely meal here over the weekend and really enjoyed both the kindness of some of the staff and the food was great, we all loved the food and had no issues with any of it. I believe our waitress was keely and she was lovely. she was thorough, made sure our orders were correct and that we were all happy with our food and made sure we were all set. Overall a very good experience and would recommend :)

Amazing service from Heather, I would definitely recommend this place to others and will be coming again more often

Food was top tier, staff were extremely polite. Our waitress, keely walked round with a smile on her face the entire time we were there and we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend

Came in for a few drinks and a meal with some friends, i don’t normally leave reviews of places, but this place was brilliant! Food was lovely and service was top tier from our waitress Keely. Thankyou for the great experience 😁

Last minute decision to have Sunday Roast, couldn't be happier it was delicious. Excellent service from bar staff and waitress Keely. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Stumbled on this pub recently whilst passing through the area, what a find! Lovely food and great service from our waitress, Keely. Highly recommend

Food was burnt on some of the plates and for the price not alot of it, some of the portions was more like a childs portion, quite disappointing really, will not return

Would definitely recommend the nags head. Great service from Keely. Lovely food and good choice of drinks
