Rose Hill Manor Coffee Shop & Bistro in Kirklees

We were so looking forward to our romantic valentine's evening. Sadly the previous reviewer has said most of it for us. Extortionately expensive, to be honest, for actually a less than mediocre meal which was not particularly enjoyable. It was obvious, from the occasional groans, the that something was very very wrong in the kitchen, even though front of house staff attemped to cover the cracks with gracious service. Also, yes it was far too cold. Have had lunch several times in this beautiful building, which have been very pleasant, although they really do need to sort out the heating problem.

Disappointing evening meal. Painfully slow service, with hardly any other customers present. The fire was barely lit which left the room very cold. The food was mediocre which was significantly overpriced. Unfortunately, this will be the last time I visit. Such a shame as the building is beautiful.

I recently held my baby shower at Rose Hill and it was the perfect setting! The building and room are beautiful and the service was just what you’d want at a small event- attentive without being intrusive. The buffet was very tasty with a few unusual dishes like the delicious courgette sandwiches alongside the classics and the cakes are amazing! My friends and family all commented on what a great place it was, many of them not having known it was there.

Four of us went for lunch after a recommendation and wasnt disappointed. We all sat out side which was very plesent as a sunny day. We had assorted coffee n teas .The herbal tea in a nice proper teapot. Food was very tasty and well presented. We were served by a young lad who was very polite so tipped him as did his job well.. toilet was a bit of a let down for ladies as no loo paper so lucky had tissues in my bag . Would go back and would recommend to others alcohol available to compliment ur food if u wished.

Unique place in the area. Excellent lunch, staff and surroundings . Good menu and relaxed atmosphere

Visited for afternoon tea today. Couldn't fault the quality of the food, but was disappointed by the quantity. For the price, £17 each, I would expect at least a full sized scone. Rather different from the picture on the poster an online. It was also very cold in there. Disappointing :(

It is a step back in time with a modern twist A good menu, be it a snack, meal or afternoon tea Food is good value for the cost, with something for any taste. However it does have a limited variety. They are ameniable to make it fit your pallet though. Staff are very pleasant and not over chatty, although that will improve the longer they are open. Venue is also suitable for parties, meetings, interview room or any get together with a separate room that lends itself to your needs with individual tables or en block gatherings. A piece of tranquility in today's hum drum life. One drawback in making contact, sometimes you have to persevere when wanting to book. Still it is worth the effort.

This is a beautiful location and building, with a pretty garden to sit in. I have visited several times now and have never been disappointed. The food is delicious and staff friendly and accommodating

Arrived for my sister’s 60th birthday celebrations, beautiful setting, sat outside on the patio in the sun but with umbrella’s for those who wanted the shade. Ordered two different afternoon tea menu’s and both were excellent, with plenty of variety. A lovely afternoon in a georgous setting and very well looked after by the staff.

What an amazing place, steeped in history, lovely terrace, elegant bistro, appealing menu and great coffee. Also apparently a location for Peaky Blinders - fans call in here! It's a hidden gem, visit now before more people find it!

I do so want to fall in love with this place. It is a wonderful house to visit and there are some very good things here. We have now visited on 2 occasions, On the first occasion we both had the seafood medley which was delicious but rather over-priced at nearly £14. No accompaniments were served such as bread to mop up the sauce. On our second visit my friend had the squeaky cheese which was apparently as good as it looked and I had the smoked mackerel salad. The latter consisted of prettily sliced and arranged bits of salad and some flaked mackerel. It was only later that I realised that the advertised coleslaw was missing. £7.95. I can't help thinking that if a few tweaks such as good bread being offered, interesting garnishes and/or a reduction in the price of the fayre on offer then this bistro would be rather more popular than it is and attract rather less negative comments. On our second visit on a Friday lunchtime few tables were occupied. There was one waitress who was extremely friendly and competent but stretched. This place could be so fabulous! We will try again at a later date and wish the business every success.

Second visit here following first visit in February. Sat outside on the patio in the sun, which was very pleasant. I had a cheese and ham toastie, which was delicious on nice granary bread with lovely 'proper' ham and nice side salad. My friend had goats cheese tart which she enjoyed. Friendly serving staff.

We came today food was amazing we ate out side as we had our small dog with us staff so friendly and a lady which I think is the chef brought our dog some water while we waited for our lunch . Food didn't take as long to come today highly recommended and will definitely be back!! And also will you be starting Sunday lunches .

Visited on a wet Saturday afternoon and initially impressed by the lovely dining room and roaring log fire. We chose a lovely bottle of Sauvignon so a nice relaxing afternoon, but then the log fire was allowed to go out midway through our stay, rendering the room cold and we wondered if it was going home time for staff despite it being only 3pm and the bistro being listed on the website as staying open until later. My friend had a jacket potato with tuna which was £5.95.. not a bad price, but then had to pay £2.70 for a side salad the size of which I would normally expect to be served anyway with a jacket potato. I opted for the seafood medley at £13.80 as I had asked the girl serving whether it had mashed potato ie like a fish pie as this was going to be the main meal of my day and she had said yes it did. However when it arrived I have never been as disappointed with any “meal “ ever. It was served in a tiny dish which would usually be that of a starter portion and which consisted of 1 king prawn and 2 pieces of smoked haddock and possibly a scallop, in a sauce which was tasty, served with a small bread roll.When I told the girl it was very disappointing and it didn’t have potato she said oh I thought you meant were there potatoes with the courgette bake ..REALLY ? she just seemed disinterested although perhaps just under confident because she didn’t seem to know much about any of the food and in the main we were left on our own in the dining room even with our empty plates for probably about half an hour. Anyway getting to the bill a chap came into the dining room, possibly the guy who was cooking as he had an apron on and we asked him for the bill.He didn’t present a bill but said it was £56. I went to the counter and asked the girl could I look at the bill because it seemed expensive. She said oh we can’t print it out from this iPad so I said well let me look at the bill on the screen because surely she was looking at it and she turned the iPad around and the bill was actually £45 , so I said to the chap it’s actually £45 and he just casually said sorry about that don’t know how come I got to that figure. I then paid with my card and a full itemised bill was printed so if I hadn’t questioned it would I not have got a print out. It was very strange behaviour. Disappointing that the place is so nearby for us but not one to add to the list of places to go.Poor overpriced food, poor service and poor staff behaviours

I celebrated my special birthday here with my lovely sisters niece and friend.We had afternoon tea with fizz it was delicious,amazing place,Grace the young waitress was lovely and very attentive and Tina who prepared our meal well what can I say what a star everything was done to perfection nothing was too much trouble. Peaky Blinders is filmed there so this added to the excitement,to think I could have been in the same room as Thomas Shelby wow “ I cannot recommend this place highly enough I had an amazing day Thankyou.

Terrible experience!! Freezing cold room and badly cooked and prepared food. The chef was asked if she could cook simple poached eggs and declared that she couldn’t guarantee the outcome. They were a disaster!! What chef cannot make poached eggs? The waitress was silly and full of feeble excuses. We will never return.

We received a very warm welcome from Caroline and enjoyed morning coffee and cake. The ambiance was wonderful and the cakes/scone were delicious. I'm looking forward to another visit.

What a lovely little bistro. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the roaring open fire and the authentic decor, fresh flowers on each of the tables. On my many visits I have been very impressed with the food, the soup is delish as is the mackerel pate and the oven baked jacket potatoes. Even when calling in for a quick drink with a toasted t cake, the quality and service is still as good, friendly, talkative, but not intrusive. It is certainly a gem of a find and looking forward to the warmer weather when I can sit outside on the patio.

I had a meeting here with one of the owners Caroline to arrange my daughters 1st birthday party. She seemed very polite and accommodating at the time. We discussed catering, alcohol requirements, kids entertainment and birthday cake. She asked me to send everything in an email and she would respond with food menus.

I’ve driven past Rose Hill Manor many times and didn’t realise it was there. Called in for brunch with my daughter and we were very pleasantly surprised. A beautiful fire burned in a lovely old room. The tables were set with real red roses and looked lovely. The lady who served us was extremely friendly and told us some of the history of the place. Peaky Blinders is filmed there and Sean Bean popped in the other week apparently !

Visited on a icy cold winters day so cheered us to see a lovely open fire burning in the tea room, which is an old reception room in the Manor House. we picked A table near the fire, next to the only other couple there. I asked what the soup of the day was, to be told that there were only two portions left. Running out of soup at 12.15pm? The food we chose was presented well and tasted nice. I had a pot of tea which was very generous size, my friend had a latte, she felt wasn’t as good as other cafes and was lukewarm. The fire was now dying out and we were freezing. The door to the kitchen was left open so draughty and also noisy. We felt there was not a good ambience and all in all not good lunch experience unfortunately.

We saw an advert in a local magazine and decided to visit. On our way home from the shops, we thought we'd pop in for a coffee and as the advert stated that they close at 5pm, thought we were in plenty of time (as it was only 3:20pm). We were greeted by a very friendly young lady who informed us that they close at 3:30pm and that the chef had already gone home????

Food and staff spot on. A calm place to catch up with friends. Inside is like a time capsule. Very tastefully decorated. I have been many times

What a lovely place! Beautiful old building, very green grounds, amazing food! Fire was burning when we got there which was lovely.

Beautiful building in beautiful surroundings. We sat inside by the open log fire. Food was excellent also.

The place is really top notch for décor and the staff very very helpful - BUT and it is a very big but - it is so expensive - for two coffees and two scones I could have had a full meal at other places - sorry will not be visiting again.

Absolutely loved it. What a hidden gem. Me and my friend came for lunch and it was sooo tasty. We had the seafood maincourse and it was delish. Just enough room for their apple cake and ice cream. The staff were very attentive but not intrusive. A Christmas tree and log fire .. what is there not to like? A lovely lady called Caroline, who was brought up in this majestic home, showed us the other rooms downstairs and wow,they were also gorgeous. Will certainly be back and soon. (To the Bistro that is .. not the grounds at the back!!) Lol.

Attended with my partner and we decided to sit outside only for my partner to be told by the owner/manageress that we needed to pay for our food prior to being served. Interestingly when I politely mentioned this to the waitress who served us ' do I need to go in and pay' she responded in amazement and shock and said this was not the case and we pay once we have finished. Apparently the manager told my partner that they have had a few customers order food and done a runner when Sat outside. If the case why not inform your waitresses of the so called pay before being served if Sat outside. I feel both me and my partner were unfairly judged and stereotyped because we probably didn't meet the profile of being white and middle classed. The foods ok but nothing special and overpriced for what you get. I will never set foot in the place due to the attitude of the management. Stay away if you are working class, non white

Checked this place out online and was drawn in by the excellent looking vegetarian menu and artisan tea/coffee. Beautiful setting next to Rose Hill burial ground. Very peaceful. Stunning building and excellent outdoor seating (which I can imagine in summer would be lovely). As we went in there was a roaring fire going which felt very welcoming. The girl serving us was very friendly but seemed a little rushed off her feet and when i asked about an item on the menu she was unsure what it was. She said she would go and ask the chef to be sure but rather than wait I ordered something else. We had gingerbread lattes which were delicious but the sugar was over the other side of the room and should’ve perhaps been available on the tables. The menu choices were excellent. We went for a “lighter bite” and chose edamame/bean/mint hummus with flatbread. There was just the right amount for a light bite and although we used flatbread to eat the hummus - some cutlery and napkins would’ve been appreciated. Overall a few tweaks here and there and this place could be amazing. Was a little pricey for what it was but the setting made up for it. We will back and I think that says it all.

Visited here for lunch today and it was beautiful as was the coffee shop.

First impressions were good. Lovely setting and welcoming inside seating. Our waitress came to take our order and I asked if they served skinny latte. Her reply "I don't know it just comes out of a machine but it looks pretty skinny" We ordered 2 latte and 2 fruit scones with butter. I estimate the prices to be about 30% above other establishments and I wouldn't mind paying the price if the quality was there. The scones looked and tasted mass produced definitely not any where near homemade. Might I suggest you visit Whiteley Garden Centre or Villa Farm Shop to taste and see what scones should look like.

Had brunch with my daughter and 7 month old granddaughter. We chose to sit inside although as others have said outside is beautiful.

This is a lovely former manor house, once the home of a prominent local businessman. It's in a nice setting, easily accessible (close to M62 and A629) with ample private parking. If you are looking for a large meal, then don't come here - it's not a pub! This is fine dining for a light brunch, luncheon or afternoon tea. The menu is well thought out , creative and tasty. The service was excellent, and the place spotlessly clean. I note that some reviews criticised the portion sizes - well, like I said, it's not a pub or fast food joint. This is quality dining for discerning people! It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for!

Called in for Sunday lunch and ordered from the ‘large’ plates part of the menu. A tiny portion arrived. It was tasty but we now need something else to eat. Staff seemed inexperienced and when we expressed disappointment about the portion size we were told that bistro food is always small portions. We’ve eaten in quite a few bistros and had to disagree. No solution was offered. The coffee and the surroundings were nice so maybe just call in for a coffee.

Paid a visit to Rose Hill Bistro to check out location and ambience. My attention was drawn to it by social media advertising.

Been here twice since it opened the food is lovely Slightly disorganised staff shouting across the room at each other and not knowing the menu very well or asking if we wanted drinks before taking our meal order but im sure with time it will grow abit more training for waiting on staff , definitely worth a try and i will go back in a few months.

I visited as part of a funeral party. Had tea before the hearse arrived which was nicely served after a brief delay. After the service we partook of the buffet. It was laid out quite exquisitely and the sandwiches were excellent quality although I wasn't exactly sure of the ingredients in them all. The sweet cake offerings were delicious.
