Northern Sole Cafe in Kirklees

Yummy food, lovely service and matching atmosphere. Loved the Christmas themed menu too.

Great service from really friendly staff and the food is really good. Would be five stars if the owner didn't print on the menu in really tiny typeface "10% increase in all prices shown". It's not a service charge. It's not even a temporary sticker. I'm a regular so, I know they re-printed the menu with this added. Why not be "straight up" and change the prices? This is not fair trading in my view. Maybe Trading Standards would be interested in this?

Brought my family here on Saturday evening and we were all blown away by the friendly staff, excellent food and fabulous atmosphere. There was even a superb live singer on. Definitely recommend the Tapas menu. 😋

Great atmosphere, great people and superb food.

Stunning little place. Love the memorabilia on the walls

Great stop off on our canal bike ride today , good food , great service

Lovely place. Extremely welcoming, food excellent

Really gorgeous place and fabulous food and staff.

Food was excellent, we had the breakfast. Coffee was nice too although there was a bit of a wait. We sat outside and there were heaters.

A very nice place for breakfast, great food, atmosphere and lovely staff, it is dog friendly too I would recommend the breakfast burrito mine was delicious!

Stopped in for lunch today during a club cycle ride. Friendly staff, good coffee and great food. Also, bonus points for quickly finding a set of pliers to help me dismantle a malfunctioning bike lock. Life savers !! 👍😀

Nice little cafe. Bit pricey but nice food.

Great food & service, relaxed atmosphere, great hospitality. We have visited numerous times and never disappointed.

Food was brilliant here. Service was a bit weird, the staff member served us and then asked us later if they had served us. Definitely recommend the hot dogs. Nice place inside.

Northern sole is a friendly Atmospheric little bar with great staff, lovely food and regular fun events.. Really love the whole tone of the place!

Great atmosphere lovely staff fabulous food

Great lunch. Gluten free not a problem. Lovely atmosphere. Thanks

Lovely pub/restaurant with a great local vibe. Could have whiled away many hours there inside or on the outside terrace. I would definitely stop in again.

Went in for drinks only. Lovely welcome. Took our order. 15 min later after no drinks. We left to get a drink elsewhere. Wasn't even busy. Others also waiting for drinks from before we went in. Very poor service.

An amazingly cozy little cafe with superbly gorgeous food. Service was fantastic, atmosphere was great. Highly recommended

I love this place, good food, good people and good beer.

New hotel - very comfy and quiet. Food good and a very good breakfast

Very friendly staff and the best buttered currant tcake I've had!

Amazing little place! Staff always super friendly and the food is always bang on. Would highly recommend them little sausages!

Absolutely fantastic, brilliant friendly service, amazing food - one of the best meals I’ve had in ages. Couldn’t recommend more. We’ll be back! Good tunes too ;)

Fantastic breakfast here this morning, it may have been our 1st visit while up this way, but it certainly won’t be our last. Food was amazing and staff to match. Thank you all

Really tasty lunch, sat on the canal side, bicycles in clear view. Superb‼️

The evening menu is excellent some great veggie and vegan options. All helped down with a couple of glasses of red. Really reasonably priced, staff friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Another brilliant night, great food, great singer!

Nice place for lunch quality beer and good choice

Had a fantastic lunchtime meal, the food was lush, service was great, an absolute gem of a place!

Treat myself to a lunch date with myself and it was delicious! Fab service, lovely atmosphere, a great way to have some me time 🥰

Thank you for the service and care taken regarding a lady with a disability.

"Best grilled cheese every and nice atmosphere. The owner did a special for me not on the menu." Max (aged 8)

We called over to “Slawit” and as we walked along the canal spotted on the other side a vibrant lively cafe called Northern Sole. We were curious to see what “street food” offerings were available. We chose a “Rude boy” and a Mac and cheese with Chorizo- WOW - great tasting food and very reasonably priced. We had the option to dine inside or outside as they are very dog friendly. Luke and the team were attentive to all our needs and Roxy’s too, we can only give them a five star review for a perfect visit!

Lovely staff! Great music and delicious coffees and food.

Great customer service. Amazing food. 2nd time here, didn't disappoint. Thoroughly recommend. X

Lovely little cafe. Nice seating area outside beside the canal. Dogs welcome. Great 😊.

A fabulous little eatery!! First time visit today - both food and service exceptional, lovely relaxed , friendly atmosphere with great staff. Good value for good sized (not token) portions of food. Will definitely be returning here!!

Enjoyed a fantastic meal here last night. Wanted to sit out but our autistic great nephew (5) was having none of it. Hope he didn't spoil anyone's enjoyment of their evening as he watched cocktails being shaken at the bar. Food fantastic as always: halloumi Caesar's salad, prawn nasi goreng and they made sausage and chips for our nephew. Lovely glass of Sauvignon, too. I don't know the name of the young man who served us but he was great - very friendly. See you again soon!

Always very tasty food, wonderful service and lovely welcoming atmosphere

Nice place to stop for a snack and a drink the Coffee is amazing 👍

Always fabulous! Great music, great cider, Carl and his staff are so welcoming..what's not to love ?

Ace bar by the canal with really decent food - outside space is lovely in the sun or with a blanket if it’s a bit nippy.

Just like everything about northern sole, we're going to try out the quiz night too. Really well done, simple food (in a good way), and they let my doggo in :)

The most lovely, friendly staff. We came in for some drinks with a 4 yo in tow. They offered great food options for a child (basically just said choose what works off the menu and we can mix and match to suit) they were welcoming, really nice, knowledgeable and it's just generally a lovely establishment. Will certainly be back

Best bacon butty ever, lovely taste and FOUR big rashers! 🤣 Great music and vibe too.

Great choice, lovely food, made better by nice weather :)

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good food… Would reccomend the Mexico 86 fries!

Called in on the off chance, was lucky they had space for us. Quite a busy little spot. Nice selection of ales, food was amazing. Well presented and really tasty. Staff really nice and friendly also.

Despite just closing, they still let us in for a drink and filled our water bottles even with ice! Lovely folk :)

The food is to die for! Great vibe and very reasonably priced too. I'd recommend booking though.

Great food, great service, great place. But I think i could’ve easily eaten 2 mains, they definitely should increase the portion size for the price. That said, with chips, it almost balances out.

A really fab find today . Northern soul playing , great food , lovely staff , dog friendly and a buzzing atmosphere . What’s not to love . Made me want to move to Slaithwaite . I want to be a regular .

Great service, food is really tasty and loads to look at with all the posters and memorabilia on the walls

Excellent breakfast, couldn't fault it. Staff friendly .

Great cafe northern and soul theme and generally good vibes. Intetesting and tasty menu. Great barista took so much care to turn out a greta coffee. Well aytended to by team. Ace place cant wait till next visit.

Lovely lunch, not your standard fare. We really enjoyed the tasty burrito and loaded fries, just disappointed they didn't have any beer on ( out if gas)

We were in Slaithwaite and wanted some lunch. We decided to try Northern Sole even though we knew it was quite small inside. It was busy but we were offered table which had just been vacated and needed to be set before we could sit down. The premises are licenced - we ordered diet cokes which were served whilst we examined the menu. We has the macaroni cheese and the chilli con carne bowl. It seemed to take a while for the food to arrive but we did begin to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. The food was worth waiting for. It was fresh and plentiful and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be visiting again.

Northern Sole has always been special - we’ve loved it since the start. That’s why I couldn’t think of a better venue for my husband’s surprise 60th. We had the whole place for 40 family and close friends. Carl just sorted everything with no fuss - timings, food choices, layout. What can I say - it was amazing! Carl & Sarah hosted and were part of the celebration. Everyone loved every bit of it - the venue, the warm welcome, the amazing food, just everything. Guests that had never been before will definitely go back, they were so impressed. We couldn’t have wished for more, it was perfect ❤️ xx

Delicious breakfast. Great choice. Friendly, helpful staff. Great atmosphere. Lovely outside seating area. What more could you want?

We found this amazing little cafe .we are into Northern Soul so it was great eating a great bacon butty and listening to some good tunes. The staff were so friendly to .

This place is one of the best things to happen to Slaithwaite village. The food is AMAZING, staff super friendly and they know the area so well, and general atmosphere is just such a good vibe. It’s never disappointed. I’m a local and bring all my friends and family who come to visit to this place as it’s A MUST VISIT! Can’t wait to come back! And thanks for being so dog friendly!

This place was brilliant when we went. The macaroni and cheese that they do is absolutely amazing and tasted really good. They play good music as well. 10/10. Would definitely come here again. 👍😋

Great place dog friendly always a massive plus, food is lovely staff very attentive and friendly.

Our first visit of the year and didn't disappoint. A warm welcome and the staff are all lovely. Carl as always bobbed out of the kitchen to say hi and check all was well (of course it was) delicious veggie special (chickpea curry) recommend if you haven't tried it to give it a go (breakfast is equally as good BTW!)

Cosy cafe great for breakfast. I go here regularly. There's a lovely little outdoor area in the summer nice place to stop in while on a walk.

Fabulous food and ambience with extremely kind and thoughtful staff, coping with my food foibles.

Called for a coffee whilst walking round Saltaire- we sat outside with the dog in cosy corner where blankets and heaters were provided- staff very attentive and lovely coffee, the whole place had a good vibe and will definitely return.

Great little place. They made us feel very welcome. The staff are really attentive and personable, not like robots serving, but characterful and it makes the whole place feel like home. The food was very tasty and inventive (tapas) and the pudding was a luxurious treat. Fun comedy and friendly venue. Thanks for having us 😄

I go to Northern Sole regularly when walking with my two dogs. I have also been to the comedy and music nights. I always get a very warm welcome from all the staff. I always find the food to be excellent and good value. The music and general vibe of the cafe is great. I walk all over with my dogs and can say that this is the best cafe I have been to. Best wishes to all the staff for Christmas.

Christmas Tapas with a northern twist, absolute genius! Turkey and stuffing croquettes with a gravy dipping pot, hoisin sprouts, pigs in parkas with honey and loads more. Great quality and great prices. The service, music, decor and atmosphere are equally as good as the food. So good in fact we're trying to book again for today but with the whole family in tow.

Fantastic night at the comedy night. Great atmosphere and wonderful tapas can't wait to go back. we all loved it!!

Another great lunch! Always something a bit different.

One of our favourites usually, but the Christmas menu waa a dissapointment for me. Ridiculous portions, for £7-8 I was expecting more then 2 bites of food. Not much choice either. Walked away hungry.

Always the customer service - made to feel welcome. Tasty food with options for even the fussiest of folk. Great music and drinks. Love a day/night out here! M

You know what.... I always forget about this place but I've been a few times and continue to be blown away by how friendly the staff are and how great the food is. I've made a promise to myself to remember Northern Sole and to pop in every time I'm in Slaithwaite.

Well worth visiting Staff freindly and helpful Good music Good feel Will visit again.

Northern Sole is a cool cafe bar on the canal towpath of Slaithwaite serving up breakfasts by day and a mixed selection of Street Food by night- there is a bit of Greek, Japanese and Indonesian on the menu. We only called in for a drink but we couldnt pass up the opportunity to sample a little something from the menu, opting for Southern American BBQ. The atmosphere here is fantastic playing a wide mix of classic tunes. The staff are super friendly and the drinks selection is great. They have lots of cool events on throughout the year from Stand-Up Comedy to Live Singers. We definitely need to go back on empty stomachs to indulge an early morning breakfast as well as more of the evening menu- check out their fantastic festive themed evening tapas available through December We had the Tiger Rag Tin Lid BBQ (Homemade Louisana Pulled BBQ Beef, Cajun Chicken Tenders, Mac n Cheese, Fries, Pickles, Corn, Slaw, Mustard Mayo, Homemade BBQ Sauce). First up that pulled beef was so sticky sweet yet smokey at the same time- i would love to try that on a Hotdog or Burger. Next was a generous helping of crispy Chicken that had that nice spicy heat and smokey paprika flavour. The Mac had so much bubbly creamy cheese and had the perfect bake on top. The two dipping sauces were the perfect opposite combo of sweet and sharp. It is such a versatile dish as it serves well as both a comforting winter warmer or a sharing summer BBQ platter. This is the individual portion but you can also get it as a sharer for two.

One of my favourite food places in slaithwaite. We frequently visit for breakfast and lunch. Staff are always very welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere is great always busy with a variety of people of all ages. The food is always fantastic. The breakfast Bu rritos are always a favourite in the morning and then the loaded dogs in the afternoon are awesome. Not to forget the grilled cheese sandwiches which are my wife's favourite. The range of coffee is freshly ground and delicious too.

Great food, excellent service well done

Regular visit with old guys out for lunch. Great food and plenty of beers etc to choose from. Some of my friends regularly come to the comedy shows here and rate them highly.

Food and coffee was very nice but £9.30 for a bacon bap and a black coffee is a bit pricey. Update Carl (Northern Sole) responded to the above and confirmed it was an overcharge and it will be sorted out. As food and service is so good wewill bee back. Thanks Carl :-)

We sat outside next to the heater... It was heaven. The food is delicious, I had a pulled meat sandwich.... The meat was tender and the bread was like butter in your mouth. I also recommend the Mexico fries, not spicy at all and topped with chilli, guac, sour cream and Pico. The staff is lovely and attentive .. will definitely come back.

A fabulous evening with family. Northern Sole is so chilled you relax as soon as you walk in. And the kind of place that can cater for all. Had a lovely two course meal with excellent wine and beer. Service was friendly, professional and timely. Thank you to all the wonderful staff and Carl. x

Great little cafe bar this very busy Great music as well. Well worth a visit

Love this place ! It’s our regular Friday morning dog walking treat . The Wigan Casino Breakfast 🌯 Burrito is a thing of wonder - how is it possible to fit a Full English in a wrap ? Wonderful stuff . All swilled down with lovely coffee .

Good food, decent value but seriously let down by slow and chaotic service, also felt the staff were rude! (Going off other criticism here I expect a bible from the owner, and how this never happens as they have other 5 star reviews 🤣)

Gorgeous cafe! Lovely to sit inside or outside (which has heaters, shelter and cushions!), has very tasty food, great selection of drinks and friendly staff. A gem of a place.

Great food, atmosphere and friendly helpful staff

Amazing first visit! Friendly and welcoming staff on arrival. The food was superb. We all tried a few dishes as wanted to taste everything and were very impressed. We'll definitely be back soon!

Had a breakfast wrap from Northern soul cafe & the food was outstanding.. we were served by a young lady who always had a smile on her face, service was very fast & would highly recommend. 👍

Lovely food lovely staff and atmosphere

Can highly recommend the bin lid BBQ!

Lovely spot on the side of the canal, beer was good, food was good with a great menu. What's not to like.

Excellent choice of food, staff and service

Excellent breakfast and just been to our first comedy club which was absolutely fantastic

Best breakfast I've had in ages, super friendly staff.

Great soul food , lovely pint of mango IPA , nice rose wine

Amazing little place right next to the canal. Great food, great atmosphere, great location, great service. Real nice buzz about the place. Dog friendly too if you have one. Well worth a visit if you're ever in Slaithwaite.
