Riverhead Brewery Tap and Dining Room in Kirklees

Outstanding pub the service and beer was exceptional. Anyone coming to Marsden needs to go to the Riverhead there choice of beer is amazing and its brewed on site as well

Fantastic place to get some local beer after an afternoon walk with my partner in crime, Tom. Got a couple of local beers, both pretty tasty and well priced. Sat in what I can only describe as a beer garden by the canal. Gorgeous, busy place with a fantastic atmosphere.

Great street food and excellent beer. Easy going atmosphere. What else could you need? Oh yes, the duttiest of fries………

Called in on a wet Sunday lunchtime. The Riverhead brews that we tried were excellent. We also tried the food on offer and ordered bao buns and Korean spare ribs - not knowing what to expect. It was all first class and I recommend that you give the food a try!

Very nice at the pub with so many options of beer to choose from. The menu was a bit wacky but we soon got into it with options like classic boa buns and boa dogs and chicken wings and pork ribs and loaded fries and plenty of dips. Thr food was incredible.

Had a very enjoyable night out with family and friends (most who hadn’t eaten here previously & totally loved it ! Street food at its best - still ! Very fresh, well presented with amazing flavours & this is all accompanied with a selection of the highest quality craft ales , even better that it’s my local & staffed by a friendly & helpful bunch of folks ! 😃 🍻

Great beer, they brew their own, and good quality food although choice is slightly limited, served by friendly and helpful staff

What a nice place, lovely feeling as you enter, plenty of beers to choose from, definitely going again.

We sat outside in the sunshine, nice friendly service from the lady behind the bar

Quite simply the best food of any restaurant I've been to this year, and probably last. Everything on the table was delicious and I tasted everyone's. It's so good, that the next time I drive to the lakes, I will make the 30 min diversion just to go there again.

Ribs are a joke. Christ. 3 days trudging through the peaks, the meal here was like mannah from heaven. I'm not a religious man, but finishing that bao bun and those loaded fries off made me feel like I'd reached nirvana. Hats off to the chef. Peace.

Fabulous old school historic place serving a wide range of beers,ales etc. The Bao bun Japanese inspired food is a welcome change from standard pub grub. Great staff and a lovely beer garden overlooking the water when the weather allows.

Superb place great location worth the walk down and back up to and from the train station

Great place to eat. A little odd to go through a pub but really nice pub and staff. Food was amazing and the ribs were my favourite lots of meat and Great taste

Great food, friendly staff, live music and comedy upstairs. Good atmosphere, cannot stress how good the food was.

Quick pint whilst picking up CAMRA Ale Talk magazines

Good selection of beers both local and national but what a strange menu! It took a while to understand what was being offered and seemed to be a strange concoction of Vietnamese dishes served on bamboo trays. We noticed many were drinking but not eating. In the end we took a chance and enjoyed the food though we had little idea of what would arrive!

Great to have a local which is busy most days of the week. Recent extension and refurbishment has lifted the Riverhead to another level 🙌

Lovely local pub, aways a warm welcoming friendly atmosphere and the food is absolutely amazing

Wonderful pub and brewery, lovely staff, warm and welcoming. Great seating outside on a nice day by the river. Beer is excellent and a great range, should be something for everyone. Must try

Pleased to see that it retained its character after the extension & refurb, great service from young, polite & friendly staff. Just one very minor niggle, I think that the neon signs are naff & out of character with the establishment. It was one of my regular ports of call & it will remain so.

Top choice of quality beers on tap

Food was so so good. Had the ribs and halloumi fries. Food heaven!!!

Lovely pub next to river.. Plenty of different beers brewed on site I believe and food very tasty and bit different to main stream pub food. Well worth a visit.

Amazing halloumi Bao buns & loaded fries! Love the refit, it’s always busy when we visit but we can always find a seat & the service is generally swift & efficient 😊

Can't review the food as I didn't have any. The beers were fantastic and service was too

Although really busy, I got served quickly and with a smile.. Great range of real ales .. Will have food next time am in '

Great selection of craft beers reasonably priced

Food was really good. Especially the Kyoto Cluck- Cluck and the Korean BBQ wings. So tatstyyy...

Great pub, superb atmosphere and love it

Very nice pub. Looks great after the refurbishment, and now serving Salt beer.

Great place for food, drink and atmosphere.

The food is beautiful and tasty. I took my kids along as it was my eldest child’s 18th birthday and they all wanted (for a while) try a bao bun and fancy chips. They were not disappointed! Even after ordering a couple of kids plain baos incase they didn’t like the other ones, my picky child has said he would love to go again and get an adult bao and will eat it with the stuff they put on. I got some plain chips as well as other ones with stuff on and I tell you what, I didn’t think they would try it but my god they did snd they loved them! Thank you for making their day and mine, they couldn’t stop talking about them and how yummy they were xx

Amazing staff, perfect atmosphere, great drinks, brilliant prices. Food is out of this world 😍

Amazing find in Marsden. Lovely menu with lots of great choices. Quick service at the bar and great range of drinks 🍻. Will definitely be visiting again after a walk!

Great place for a pint after a hike. Lots of different ales on offer

First-time visit since the refurbishment. I have got to say it is a great improvement, especially the toilets which were to say the least were disgusting. The beer is still the same excellent quality with the new addition of craft beers and cocktails on draught. Well worth a visit.

Been done out since last time we were there and opened out the brewery part. Good beer and atmosphere

Brilliant pub, lively atmosphere and good beer

Awesome place! The beers in this cracking place were beautiful and fresh as you'd expect as they are brewed onsite! All of the staff were brilliant! The whole building is fitted out to a great standard and the toilets, modern and clean! The only criticism is that it was too warm in their, the heating bills must be huge! 🥴 Anyway, if you are visiting the gorgeous village of Marsden, then make sure you pop into this fantastic working brewery! 😃 Till the next time, All the best, Nigel & Claire

Good range of beers at reasonable prices. Some good looking food but I didn't try any.

Just had beer. Recently taken over by Ossett Brewery, so all my favourites including White Rat and Cherry Rateaux are available alongside the locally brewed traditional ale.

One of the best pints I have had in a long time. Really good traditional pub with a modern feel. Menu is provided by the street food restaurant next door which Asian street food. Only complaint was it was lacking in veggie options

Great pub with a great beer selection. The Bao Bros make amazing food. The staff were great, kind and friendly. Well worth a trip.

Great place for a beer, plenty of choice from pale to dark, and some in-between. Food is good too. Probably be back

Great Bao buns!! Worth a trip.excellent playlist

Great site , food and beer brilliant. Bao buns spectacular. This is so much more than just a pub , split levels , divert area to sit . Even has beer tanks coming through the floor .

Lovely makeover, looks smart and welcoming. Food by BaoBros23 is amazing. Best Street food around!

Great pub. Friendly atmosphere. More dogs than you can shake a stick at. And free red light therapy. Land lady Jane is absolutely fantastic Full of all the usual things you find in an Osset brewery establishment, fantastic beers, and the most recent addition of Cocktails on Tap. Love it.

Great beer choice at reasonable prices. Great atmosphere too

Nice pub and refurb, however too many children allowed to run wild, spoiling the days of a quiet pint!

Recent extensive refurbishment is impressive: despite the neon signs and clean toilets the happy ambience of a busy village boozer has remained the same. Wide range of drinks, Osset, Salt, Riverhead and guest ales, cocktails on tap, coffee! Bar snacks (pies and scotch eggs) and tasty Bao Buns, loaded fries etc from the upstairs kitchen. Landlady Jayne is passionate about the place and leads a friendly, efficient team. Popular with both locals and visitors. Perfect for Marsden Moor walkers/cyclists and real ale trailers. Quiz and live music nights. Lots of chat. Lots of dogs. Lovely outside seating area beside the river for that day in August when it stops raining.

Very pleasant refurbished space. Nice and warm at 12:15 on a damp cold Thursday lunch, which is something few pubs manage. Large selection of Ossett, Riverhead and Salt beer. Lunch from the BaoBros23 kitchen was OK. Wings were nice. Fries were oddly dry and some ketchup didn't seem to be an option unless you ordered one of the exotic options upfront. Collect your lunch when the beeper goes off but carrying your own lunch downstairs on a slippery lipless tray is an accident waiting to happen.

Lively atmosphere, good food and comfortable. Even nicer after the refurbishment and nicely decorated toilets and men’s and women’s which we much prefer.

Great pub, fast service. Recently, renovated with good. Beer, what more could you want? Oh yes,and a good location to boot

Had a lovely pint of march Haigh and bao buns 2 for 12 pound absolutely highly recommend the chicken and the pork.

Great local pub in Marsden. Plenty of choice of drinks. Perfect for after a hike!

A fantastic pub, lovely building, great staff, large selection of drinks and reasonably priced! Certainly worth a visit with friends or family. The food (upstairs) is also lovely. Gets rammed in the summer if the trains are running but plenty of room outside

Great dog friendly pub, very friendly staff, good choice of ales and fantastic coffees. Really good food available. Lovely setting by the river with outside seating available. Recently refurbished so more seating downstairs available.

Just enjoyed a lovely, well cooked meal, great value and fabulous beer as well - highly recommended

Been here before, as part of the ale trail. Brilliant selection of beers and a lovely place to sit outside and enjoy a beer.

Really liked this place! So did my pup. When we went in; we expected a boozer with pub style food. It was Bao Buns and chicken wings - at first, we were tempted to look elsewhere, but gave it a go. In all honesty, really glad we did! The food was really nice; the staff were friendly and there was a really nice atmosphere! Will definitely be visiting again soon. There was a good amount of food - we ordered the above for 3 people; although I ate most of it... Because I'm greedy... But it was all lovely and freshly prepared. To say it isn't my usual cuisine, it massively impressed me!

Good selection of (quite pricey) ales

Good selection of beers brewed on the premises.

Great pub, serving real ale . It's really good when no dogs are in .

Very good, excellent Bau Buns and dirty fries. Reasonably priced and good atmosphere. Would recommend

Pleasant friendly pub, with an excellent choice of well kept beers.

Great local pub for a couple if beers on Friday tea

An excellent watering hole with always a great beer selection.

Live music jamming session you cannot beat it

Lovely staff and excellent beer variety

Great ale 🍺 Lovely seating area by the river

Called in for bao brothers 23. Really nice buns, and the salt and pepper chips were really tasty. The Yorkshire blonde is a nice pint too.

As good a pub as there is in West Yorkshire.

Great atmosphere interesting beers.

Lovely beer garden right next to the river. Didn’t try the food but the beer was good.

Never enough seating outside, nice pub along the real ale trail.

This is just a great pub, situated in a scenic position next to the river in the centre of Marsden. A fantastic choice of real ales including Ossett stable real ales as well as having a very well stocked bar depending on your choice. Seating both inside & out with an interesting food menu served from the upstairs kitchen. My advice would be to check kitchen opening times as on the day visited food started at 16.00hrs but was delicious.

Lovely atmosphere and good beers. Even better when the sun is out.

Just one of the best independent pubs I've ever frequented and frequently is how often I want to go

17/06/23:.as the name suggests, right on the river. Lovely pub with a good selection of craft ale. Had a really good pork pie too. Had a range of Lilleys ciders, which went down well.

Great venue in a wonderful location, just a shame the lad behind the bar looked like he’d have rather been anywhere else in the world. Top choice of beers.

Great selection of food and drinks in a picturesque part of the world, plenty of customers and good atmosphere about this place

Good quality beer as you would expect from being brewed on the premises. Can get very busy

Lovely place and fantastic location !

Great brewery pub, very busy but good service not too expensive

Perhaps the most professional or at least clinical pub in Marsden, if that’s what you’re looking for — the upstairs area is quite nice with a good view (dependant on where you’re sat I’m sure)

Nice location. The pub was very crowded and noisy if you like that sort of thing. They brew their own cask ales which are worth a try. The food is Asian-inspired - a "bao" (a soft bun) with a variety of meat or vegetarian fillings, and loaded fries. It was OK for something a bit different, though very salty and thirst-inducing. I wish the food had come on a plate with real cutlery, but I understand using small cartons and cardboard forks probably saves on needing a dishwasher.

Lovely pub lovely staff lots of beers..fantastic location..

I mean the fact that they have Bao Bros bao buns makes it amazing but it's also a really cosy and friendly pub.

Been coming here for years on bike rides and hikes. Great little pub with a nice range of beers on tap. Usually have something new on each time I go. Lovely food served by the in-house BaoBros23 kitchen, the highlight of our weekend hike was stopping here before descending back in to Huddersfield. Nice seating area upstairs with tables, and plenty of outdoor seating too. Always a popular busy place.

Great place for a chat, beer and food. Prices are reasonable and the drink and Bao buns are great.

Always been very good. A bit pricey but so is very where.

Excellent beer! Especially the Redbrook - my favourite:-)

Nice pub but it can get very busy. The food isn't brilliant, they should have stuck with their previous menu.... overall, definite worth visiting.

Beer is amazing, food used to be much better. Not a fan of the new food.

One of the best places to drink real ale. Their Redbrook Premium is the standout pint with a distinct heavily malted and mildly bitter character. One of my favourite pints.

Great beer and food, highly recommend

Enjoyed it! One Saturday afty after a long ish walk. Nice vibe. Will be back.

Absolutely fantastic pub, always a joy to go here. Good local beers and Fantastic, affordable food fresh from the kitchen with the menu changing almost every week.
