Savile Arms in Kirklees

Sat inside to eat. Urgh! Grubby interior. Unclean, sticky and well-worn tables and chairs. Food served hot, but overall quality far less than average. Very run-of-the-mill. Level of service only adequate. We've been in hospitality for over 40 years and always maintained higher quality and levels of service than this. It's a shame, because the pub is historically quaint and set in a picturesque village.

We called in for lunch on Thursday. The lady who served us was very friendly and the pub had a warm cosy atmosphere. We didn't have to wait long for our meals. I had steak pie with chips and seasonal vegetables which was absolutely delicious. I don't normally eat cabbage as I don't like it, but the cabbage in this dish was the best I have ever tasted and I ate it all!! A really lovely visit and I hope to return again soon.

Amazing food, variety of dishes, freshly cooked food, especially the onion rings ... no frozen food here 😋 Friendly staff and service. Highly recommend.

My wife and I enjoy walking and our favourite spot to stop for lunch is here. Prices good value - quality of food very good - staff attentive - speed of service - just right. Nothing more needed for me to recommend this pub.

Been here a few times and on this occasion we’d had a country walk and ended up here for lunch. A roaring fire on the go and friendly staff. Firstly, we had Mussels and then we had pie and chips. All the food was homemade (including the pies) and delicious.

We visited this pub for lunch and a few drinks just before Christmas, hoping for a cozy but not crowded experience and we were not disappointed. Beer and wine are good quality and good range. Menu also was varied and I felt was very good quality pub grub. I really enjoyed the steak pie. We messaged via Facebook the night before to book a table and got a prompt response and a spot on table in the bar but set aside so we felt part of things but not crowded. Very friendly staff too.

My second visit in 2 weeks and we were so impressed both times. Staff were friendly and helpful, thoughtful and the food was excellent. Table service only, the order was taken promptly and meals were freshly cooked. I believe some food was locally sourced too. Steak Pie was meaty and tasty and I can recommend the chips (delicious - much better than the anaemic skinny offerings at other restaurants) I had scampi today, other members of the family had chilli con carne and the steak pie. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We went outside for our coffee, mum wasn’t able to sit to the picnic table, but there was no problem with us taking a chair out and when mum complained about the sun, staff immediately brought out a table umbrella. Great value for money too.

Myself and my partner went after a rugby match and we’re going to go else where for food but decided to give the local Savile Arms a go. Really wish we hadn’t bothered. They’d be buggered without a deep fat fryer. I ordered the garlic mushrooms to start and they’d cooked them in the fryer and then mixed them into the garlic sauce. Very greasy. Then I ordered lamb chops and my partner ordered the mixed grill. My lamb chops look like they had been cooked and then re- cooked. Needles to say I would have had more texture and flavour chewing on a brick. Despite that the rest of my order was…. WRONG! And my partners mixed grill was over cooked and smothered in oil. After expressing our disappointment and dissatisfaction we then got slammed with a £43.25 bill. Now that isn’t a lot for a meal that you thoroughly enjoyed and would gladly recommend to other folk, but for the inedible food we received… it’s a damn right joke. THE WORST meal I’ve had in a long time. Beer and service average Food, appalling.

Your location tesside Savile Arms 174 Hunsworth Ln, Cleckheaton BD19 4DX Pub 21 hours ago We visited today following a booking for lunch 13.00 for myself and three others and three dogs even though we ask if dogs were welcome and they suggested been under shelter so I accepted the kind suggestion On arrival with friends travelling from St Helens and ourselves from Teesside We were shown our table not only was it unsuitable not big enough for four small kids never mind four adults and would have to leave dogs out side the Marquee not only was it raining but can you explain to me how this could have work As you can tell we would will never step into this establishment again

What a great place.My husband and I have been before and even in these strange times,we weren't disappointed. The food was wonderful,ample portions and piping hot. Served by friendly and engaging staff. We were a safe distance form other diners. The only minus thing was I had to search for the hand gel when we walked in.I t would be better being either wall mounted or easily accessible on entry. A lovely evening.

Took advantage of the eat out help out deal. Been to a few other places near by, but this was the best by far. Friendly, attentive Staff. We had the garlic mushrooms and nachos then the mixed grill and fish n chips. It arrived within 15 minutes and it was hot and delicious. We’ll definitely be back.

We arrived Friday night to a packed pub. Although understaffed the young barmaids gave 100% and made us all feel comfortable and welcome. Particularly, the barmaid named Alyssa; she was very nice and went above and beyond for me and my friends; anything we needed she brought. The food was decent but it took way too long to arrive therefore id only go for drinks again.

Went at lunchtime, been wanting to visit for years and never got round to it. Got seated right next to open log fire, very cosy and rustic! Staff really welcoming and food came fairly quickly, but we were the only ones eating so can’t comment on what it’s like when busy. Good value hearty grub in a proper boozer, pleasant surroundings, some parts of the pub are aged but I guess it adds to the experience. Will definitely go back again

A real cosy old world pub with good home cooked food, real ales and a reasonable selection of drinks. They’ve really got a great balance between drinkers pub and food pub which is rare nowadays. Been here a few times and always a great atmosphere. Friendly staff.. service not the quickest but food is prepared to order. You do need to order at the bar - did note one reviewer said they’d waited 50 minutes to order, presume they were waiting for order to be taken at the table. Very reasonably priced.

Went in ther for a quick drink with a few family memebers, never felt so uncomfortable with the stereotypical comments about my colour. Wont be going in there again, enen though its on my door step, it like stepping back in the 80s .....very disappointed

Have to say can’t fault the food here but the service is terrible. This was our second visit here giving it the benefit of the doubt but was really disappointed to find we were yet again left waiting in fact after 50 minutes we actually went to ask if they were going to take our order.

Great little pub, old fashioned which is brill! The food was beautiful and decent portion sized, along with friendly service. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, highly recommend!

first time at Savile Arms for Sunday lunch.started badly with unsuitable table position but they were kind enough to let us move. Food was lovely and plenty of it will visit again when possible.Only small pub so recommend booking in advance.

Historic old world pub, friendly staff and great meals cooked to order. Also good place to visit if your a gin drinker too.

We booked in for a relatively early Sunday lunch and were welcomed and served promptly. The menu consists of mainly traditional dishes, made with local produce where possible to avoid air miles. Portions were generous and food piping hot. The steak pie was a large slice from a homemade pie, not microwaved, as often elsewhere. The staff were happy to accommodate variations : eg. no chips but a larger salad (with 12 cherry tomatoes!). Some might find the background music a bit intrusive, but the atmosphere is nice and friendly, and the food good value.

The ambience is old fashioned and the lunch time we visited there was only on other customer. The reviews were good and we liked the menu so we we ordered.The food arrived after being cooked to order and very tasty.

We called for lunch having not been here before. Pleased to say the meals were excellent and the pub itself was very quaint

Came here for Sunday dinner as we have tried most pub dinners within the area. Very friendly atmosphere and I can honestly say, this is the best food around. Proper cooked food and nothing like your Sunday carvery. Will definitely eat here again. I put it top of the Sunday dinners. 10/10 give my compliments to the chef.

Stopped off here while in the area. Lovely warm atmosphere. Friendly staff and really great food. Worth a visit.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere. Can’t fault it. The witty signs are a great touch!

Called in on Monday lunchtime. Was quite but meal was good .Staff helpful and friendly. Most popular time's is Sundays and gets busy .Would vist again to sample the Sunday Roast. All in all a plessent visit.

We had soup to start one tomato and basil and one chicken both very tasty nice bread and real butter.....mains one scampi and one steak pie proper pie no dish and lids here so refreshing going the extra mile i would return just for the pie scampi WAS a good portion and both came with hand cut chips peas and vegetables with the pie i was recommend and i too will recomend

This was our first time at the Savile Arms and we weren’t disappointed. Fantastic food & friendly service from all the staff. Would highly recommend. We will definitely be back.

We went as a group of four here recently. We ordered 3 starters and a side order which we requested to come as a starter, as well as 4 main meals. All came in good time, even though there were other people eating here too at the time. When the starters came, the chef requested we let them know when we were ready for mains - not unreasonable given the amount of people who were eating. The main courses were all lovely and we would certainly eat here again.

Went in here with my wife and daughter for a Sunday dinner.

Was on a Guardsfest Army Re-Union. The Caterers had let us down. So me and my Guard's mate. Drove to the Pub. . And although they wasn't open. The Chef Cooked us some Grub. Top Notch to say the least. Friendly atmosphere. Friendly Staff . And Locals. Did x2 Trips there. Superb food and Beer

On our first visit here we vowed we would return. The staff were friendly and professional despite us being quite annoying with our order. The chef was happy to do it and the staff helped us with the drinks which would complement the food we ordered.

Booked for Friday at 7pm. Food was promising.

We came along this wonderful pub while visiting Bradford for some training and we are glab we did! Authentic look,great atmosphere, friendly staff and the food was absolutely excellent! I had a sirloin steak and my girlfriend had lamb cutlets and both were perfectly cooked,big portions and probably the best chips i ever ate! Plus has very reasonable prices!

This pub serves authentic homemade pub food. The portions are large. We had Steak and the lamb shank, beautifully cooked and the chef even came out to check on us. 2 meals and drinks under £20 - wow. The service was friendly and welcoming and I loved all the antidotes on the wall. We will return....

An authentic and comfortable 17th century inn with a roaring real fire. Hard to find but worth the effort. A selection of traditional ales and good old fashioned "pub grub". My companion had the pate starter, which was a meal in itself, followed by the scampi and chips (enough for two people!) and I had the large portion of home-made steak pie and mash – all of which were fresh made and home cooked. With 2 rounds of drinks the bill came to just over £20. Well worth a return visit… if I can find it again!

Wir waren im Premier Inn und haben einen "echten" englischen Pub in walking distance mit guter Küche gesucht und gefunden. Tolle Pub Atmosphäre und neben einer guten Auswahl diverser Ales auch eine sehr gute Pub Küche. Sehr freundliches Personal und in jedem Fall eine Empfehlung !!

Within a mile of the Savile Arms are 3 large restaurants owned by the big chains. You know the sort of thing, invariably busy, noisy with a carvery and little else edible.

Came here to try as struggling for somewhere last minute. What a find! Good old yorkshire pub with friendly bar staff & regulars who made you feel welcome. Food was amazing - large portions and cooked to perfection! Will deffo be back good old down to earth pub with no pretentious, over expensive gastro food. What a find!!!!

Struggling to find somewhere to eat on our not so regular date night, we ended up at this lovely pub had a drink and ordered food. The landlord was very welcoming and friendly, menu was not very extensive but that's what I like about pub grub, the food arrived and we really enjoyed it, would recommend a visit we will certainly be back

Called here on a Saturday afternoon Wasn't planning to come here We saw the sign on the main road So thought we give it a go Glad we did Nice starter Good main Nice weather Sat outside Recommend

We went for food after staying in the Premier Inn nearby thinking it might be an improvement on the chain places closer to the hotel. The chips were good chip pan chips, but otherwise the food lack any real quality. It's good value with two meals for £10.50 but not somewhere I'd recommend rushing back to.

If you are tired of the mass produced restaurants in the Bradford Chain Bar area, head towards Birkenshaw and turn left to the Saville Arms. The pub is only a short distance up the road and looks rustic from the outside. Inside the pub is traditional, a local place to eat and drink. We were served by a friendly bar man (who could have been the owner?). We ordered Steak Pie and Scampi, both were delivered hot and were both delicious. I would recommend you try this place if you are in the area.

Been here more times than I can count , the ale is beautiful and the food even more so , you can not beat the home made chips or the quality of the traditional English pub grub. The portions are more than adequate and can not be faulted one bit. We love to sit by the open fire and relax , it really is wonderful.

Excellent country pub venue with real fire. The two for one offer is excellent value and quality. It's a great place to relax after dropping off the grandchildren. I often have the 10oz gammon steak as my wife isn't keen on gammon and she will have scampi. My meal comes with two eggs, mushrooms, onion rings, peas and a choice of potato I have a jacket whilst my wife will have some excellent handmade chips and salad with her scampi. We have been here a few times and never been disappointed. The beer is hand pulled Taylors
