Old hall heckmondwike in Kirklees

Alison, thank you so much for hosting my dad's wake. The food went down a treat and you really listened to our requirements/preferences. I highly recommend this lovely pub and lovely publicans.

Tech-free pub that no longer serves food, so unfortunately we couldn’t stay (came out for lunch). However, what a stunning building, beautiful atmosphere and amazing welcome/service. If I were looking for a place to drink and chat today, this would be where I would come. Really nice acoustics, audiologist approved for those who struggle to hear. If you know, you know :-) Delighted to have found it, will be back!

A quiet yet friendly & historic pub that is a local history treasure.

Dated interior, unclean. Gorgeous building on the plus side and could be so much more...

Super pricey people. £14 for a Double Whisky and a single Gin and Tonic. The glasses were not clean, and I had to ask for a second slice of lemon as the first one was See-through. This was not a cocktail. 20 years ago it was good. I'm done.

Samuel Smith's no phone zone. Inconvenient but makes for good atmosphere. Good beer.

The Old Hall doesnt serve food but is still a great pub in its own right. Lovely owners and staff, well worth a visit. It really is an old place as well, built in the 1400s. A great little pub and the Taddy is super tasty!

Tech free pub. Brilliant. Lovely hosts.

This is a very old coach house, a fabulous building. I had a pint of dark mild it was around £2.50 maybe less. It is a tech free pub so you need to speak to each other they also don't allow bad language. Altogether a nice evening out

Oldy worldly pub. Sam Smith's so cheap prices for beer/ale/cider.

what a hidden gem. Old world back in the time pub. it's like drinking in a museum. not much choice on beer but enjoyed my stout.and very cheap

No children no dogs no food not a good way to run a food pub well done Sam Smith 👏 👍 😀

Lovely pub being going there for the past 13 years

Really nice pub really friendly staff make you feel very welcome.

Quiet atmosphere able to talk and be heard, No music or phones allowed, good for me because my hearing-aid amplifies everything.

The service was ok , I ordered pie but didn’t like the choice , so I choose sausage and mash when the meal came the gravy was lumpy and cold , so I asked them to change it . When it came back the gravy was tasteless and Luke warm . When I paid I expressed my disappointment and I will not be returning

Our first visit for quite a while impressive both inside and out . Staff were very helpful and service with a smile 😃. It won't be so long before we call again.

A beautiful old building thankfully not overdone during a recent refurb. Friendly welcome, one thing to note if you don't know the place is that only Sam Smith beers served which isn't a problem for me. Food is served but we haven't tried it yet so I'll rate that later.

We love this pub. So friendly and lovely food. Always so welcoming. Xx

Wonderful place to stay. The room was perfect, and complete with a four poster bed. Historic building in beautiful grounds. Such a treat to stay here.

Comfy, friendly, good food and a lovely atmosphere

The nicest pub in the area! The owner is so welcoming and I would recommend this for food or just a drink. Such a lovely atmosphere, will be returning !!!💗

Nice social pub, you can have quiet drink and chat here.

Great staff, great food and great beer! Really friendly staff, a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The food is spot on and the there was a great selection of drinks to choose from. Would highly recommend.

Lovely unspoilt pub with great beer, good food (wonderful fish) and lovely staff. I totally approve of the no-digital policy too.

Absolutely stunning place A 14 th century conversion that has kept all its charm and character. And the staff and customers were all so friendly. The beer is top notch and although I wound the barmaid up the food was really good ( she took it as it was meant to be a bit of banter ) I would very highly recommend this pub to anyone. Ray Malik.

Quick update. Still open, still good beers, still good prices. Now has tap and pay.... Still has the no phones, swearing, music rules. Still a bit quiet at times. Food's on. Not had any yet but it does look good. Some repairs and updates have been done. Looks a bit better now. Feels a bit more welcoming now but like a lot of Sam's houses it's still a little soulless. A likable pub. Hope it continues!

A great last minute Sunday Lunch…we will definitely be returning, thank you.

Quiet pub but comfortable and good service..

Great pub and a great local building, glad to see they do a quiz again and no phones is a great rule politely enforced..

Lovely building, pleasant staff, reasonable selection of beers. However... No phones No music No dogs No kids No prosecco No fun Not coming back.

Lovely pub ,no mobiles going off no body staring at their phones a place of peace and conversation .....and not a bad Sunday roast too .

We had a lovely Sunday dinner here today. The team are so welcoming and really looked after us. Great to visit and see this fab, traditional pub open again and serving great home made food! Thanks! We’ll be sure to return soon :)

Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Good food and inexpensive drinks x

Called in whilst on a work trip for a pub lunch. I was refused service because I wanted to quietly use my laptop at my table. I could totally understand if it was 6pm or busy but it was 12:30pm and the place was literally empty. Went round the corner to the Liversedge pub, they gave me a wifi password and had a lovely meal. Crazy business model from Sam Smith's. (The lady at the bar was lovely about it though, not her fault)

Good localish lager and beer, stout etc at a cheap price

Lovely pub, soooooo glad it is back open. Proper traditional pub. Just need to spread the word and get the customer's back in. They also serve food. No kids if not eating and no dogs allowed though.

Gorgeous old place full of character.. Great landlords serving great Sam Smith's brews and delicious and slightly different slant to regular pub grub. Delicious! However, the pub needs to be full of customers though, it's a sad reflection of the time. Shame , as the Old Hall deserves better!

Brewery policy, digital free zone. My sister and I were sharing our holiday photos, ( I live abroad, visiting family in the area for Christmas). We were told we would be asked to leave if we used our phones in the pub. With 6 other customers in the pub, I don't think the Brewery can afford to restrict their customer base. The spirits served in the pub were not brands that are known to me. We drank up promptly and left. We went to The Liversedge, close by and enjoyed friendly service and spirits with brand names we know.

A Samuel Smiths pub with one cask beer. Electronic devices are banned for use in this establishment.

Visited today for first time in a long time. Pass this pub often and wasn't quite sure if it had reopened. We were glad to see that it has. Were greeted with a warm welcome. It was very quiet but it was Monday afternoon. We just had a drink but were pleased to hear that they are doing meals as well so we will certainly be back to try the menu. So glad that this wonderful building is once again open.

Had a meal with my daughters and it was lovely food and fairly priced. Great old building with rustic charm and friendly staff.

Fantastic pub with loads of history, well worth a visit

What a brilliant place! Dates from the late 1400s. Plenty of oak beams and history everywhere. No phones or tablets allowed, it's a pub for meeting people and the old fashioned habit of talking to other face to face! I will be coming back here again for sure

Good beer, and no tech allowed. Great place. So glad it opened up again.

If your under the age of 45 you'll be modified by this place. Its like going back in time, no phones or swearing. Its like been out with your Grandparents in the 90's

We had a lovely wake her for our mum, the buffet was excellent and all the staff we so lovely, highly recommended thank you

Great prices. Quiet little pub.

Great character, lovey landlords and great beer what more could you want

Sunday dinner was great. Beautiful building.

Not been in this pub for quite a while. We had a good conversation with the landlady who was very pleasant then the landlord came down and it turned out that he had been a landlord/ steward in the Mirfield area a number of years ago. Very pleasant evening with good beer.

Really looked forward to the pub reopening, have to say big disappointment, just no atmosphere at all, really need to get rid of this no phone nonsense and get done background music on then I'm sure people will flood back

Under new management who are trying their best to get customers through the door but are limited by the rules of the brewery. Very interesting building dating back to the1400s.

I have to give 5 stars because it's a beautiful building but I'm a Guinness drinker and the stout is not quite as good having said that I had 4 pints and thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon

Great pub in a fantastic location, one of two pubs in the area I actually want to go into.

An incredible, historic pub with very good new managers. The building is awesome and the drinks are excellent and very fairly priced.

Needs to advertise to attract more customers

Very pleasant olde worlde. Lots of history. Able to chat as no electronics allowed. Friendly staff.

Thank god Sam Smith's pubs are open. Pity about the price increase. Would be great if the Malt Shovel in Elland could open too!

Great pub, I enjoy the place and beer.

** Closed until August 2019 ** This is ( or was) a cracking pub currently closed as of 30.04.19 and awaiting new management going in. Have had it confirmed that it is having a new roof and won't be open for another 3 months which will take it to around August 2019 for reopening

A proper pub with great locals and excellent bar staff highly recommend

So a great pub. Pleasant, nice furnishings, great beers. But on a Friday afternoon, when it's advertised as open...... It's shut. So no nice beers for me. Not a great start. So off to the West.

What a building! A must if you're into history - well priced, friendly staff and atmosphere

Fantastic olde worlde building. Amazing architecture. Friendly staff. Good beer. Didn't try the food but plenty of choice on the menu. Cash only though as a Sam Smith's pub.

I visited the Old Hall for the first time yesterday and was amazed firstly by the building itself. It is such an interesting historical building and is so well kept that walking in there felt like stepping back in time. With a great selection of ales wines spirits and soft drinks, as well as bar snacks and proper home made Sunday lunches, this pub truly is a little hidden gem and incomparable to anything else in the local area.If you do visit, be sure to ask to see the upstairs room if it isn't open to the public - it's full of historical artifacts and tributes to Joseph Priestley, previous resident of the Old Hall.

We were visiting from Greece and just popped in to the Old Hall for a lager. It's a lovely old-fashioned pub with a lovely friendly atmosphere. We were lucky that it was a warm sunny day and were able to sit outside in the beer garden at the back. Hoping to return for their Sunday roast. Highly recommended by both of us.

Warm friendly environment and providing home cooked food.

Sam Smiths pub housed in a gorgeous building. Warm & friendly.

Great Sam Smith's pub with fantastic decor. Friendly staff, nice and quiet atmosphere with no music playing. Prices are very low, but please note that it's cash only, they don't accept card payments.

Great place...beer prices good.

Great old pub, good range of drinks and food.

Took my family for Sunday lunch. The building is fascinating and well kept.,the staff are naturally warm and friendly and the food is superb. Even the bill made me happy. Thanks for a lovely afternoon.

Great old pub. Good beers and ciders at the fantastic Sam Smith's prices. Staff very warm and welcoming and a great massive Sunday roast

Visited with a group of 30 walkers. A pub with an interesting historical past, that has retained its character. Lovely wooden beams that contribute to a great atmosphere. Service timely and efficient.. Menu with good choices, some traditional, some contemporary. Standard of food and presentation excellent. Reasobably priced. Would not hesitate to recommend this very welcoming hostelry!

Great grub. Friendly staff. Just booked for Christmas.

Once again went for Sunday lunch at the Old Hall. Cannot fault the food pay a visit you won't be disappointed fab.

Nice atmosphere oldie worldie pub. Cheap beer but wine expensive. Only take cash as a Sam Smith's pub.

Lovely old pub, Sam smiths ales, timber framed building over 400 years old

Great food and service. Would go again.

I've been visiting here for over 35 years and seen a number of owners and varying levels of satisfaction for food and ambience. It's always been good, sometimes exceptional. It has a long and interesting history.

What a fantastic little find. An ancient pub. Very friendly service.

Cheap quality beers in a cosy and friendly atmosphere a good place to have drinks with friends and family.

Dropped my wife & daughter off at the Old Hall for a weekday lunch and a bit of girlie time while I did some jpbs at home.

Friendly and welcoming Sam Smith's pub with real character. Plenty of parking spaces.

I was working there but seemed a good atmosphere

Hosts are very welcoming nice oldy worldly pub very friendly will definitely visit again

We visited this pub today for the first time and I was amazed how beautiful it is. We only had a quick drink but will definitely be returning to sample the food. Very oldie worldie. Prices very reasonable.
