Shepherds Arms in Kirklees

We had a meal in Grameen Lounge who are currently based in Shepherd's Arms. The food was excellent. We bought our drinks from the Shepherd's Arms service was brilliant throughout the night

Good range of beers and largers, friendly atmosphere and with an Indian restaurant next door it ticks a lot of boxes

We booked the Shepherd's Arms for a private booking for a small funeral wake. The venue was ideal - it is close to Huddersfield Crematorium and we had the place to ourselves from 11.45am. It was clean and there were plenty of spaces for people to sit either in one large group or smaller groups. The buffet food was very good and portions were very generous, and the staff could not have been more helpful. Many thanks for Rachael and her staff.

Quite, nice place to have a drink and chat with friends...

My mate always recommended this place but never been, not too busy which is good (can chat) and bad (too quiet). Had pie and a couple of pints, the staff was nice and even had BT (TNT) sports on too, will go again as only down the road for sample the menu more often.

Our first but not the last visit. Our food was cooked to perfection and was beautifully presented. It was very quiet when we went at lunch time but this wasn’t a problem for us . The beer (dizzy blonde ) was also very good on a hot day. Friendly staff too. Recommended!

Relaxed nice little place, food was lovely. I had fish of day. Spot on, lovely crispy skin and accompaniments were tasty too. Everyone else enjoyed their food also, 6 cleans plates. Thumbs up from us.

Brilliant food Best in that side of Huddersfield by far

Have wanted to try here for ages and we were very impressed (pub menu at lunchtime). Lydia was so helpful and welcoming and the food was lovely and great portion sizes. So many tempting choices on the menu so was hard to decide 🙂

Thank You. Amazing meal. Excellent service. Fantastic chef. People of Huddersfield you need to go. You won’t be disappointed. Table of 4 tonight under name of Chris. The portions won’t disappoint. 😊

Been in before for Sunday dinner. The ox check was delicious. Lidia was lovely & knowledgeable about not only the Sunday dinner but the menu available during the week. We have booked for the Al la carte and are looking forward to it! Lidia made it sound amazing and were impressed that the chef also checked in on us. I highly recommend!

Sunday lunch, enjoyed the Al a Carte, superb choice, beautiful presentation, all three courses were top class. As always Chef Richard came to table for a chat & to check all was to our satisfaction. Rachel the owner is off for a short while & her stand in manager Lydia was a delight, so welcoming, polite & happy. Love this place

From first impression’s meeting the Chef Richard after parking the car i could tell we were in for good experience. Richard talked passionately about the food he prepares for dinners. On entering The Shepherd’s Arms we were greeted by Racheal a lovely lady who showed us to our table took our drinks order and went through the Specials. I choose the sirloin steak and my wife choose fish of the day sea bream, Angela love’s fish but hadn’t tried sea bream before. The food arrived beautifully presented two sea bream fillet’s and my sirloin ordered medium cooked to perfection.

I visited yesterday for the Shepherds Arms' Steak Night with a friend to celebrate their promotion at work and were really impressed with our visit. Our food was delicious. The steaks were tender, well seasoned and a perfect medium rare and rare for my friend, pairing brilliantly with the house wine. The manager and their staff were lovely, attentive and made this a great experience for my friend and I. We'll definitely be returning to celebrate more promotions in future!

Went for a meal this evening. The food was excellent andcreasonably priced. Service very friendly.extra bonus we git 2nd prize in the pub quiz!

Really nice pub would return if i lived in the area. Visited for a beer and some food with wife and infant daughter, large carpark, is located at the top of the hill, staff and the locals were very welcoming. Nice selection of ales lagers and spirits. Restaurant section looked to be closed, but the lounge was bright and modern finish. Pub menu was served as per the website but they had a nice choice of specials. Had the special starter peri peri chicken samosa with pickled molis, perfect balance of curried samosa, sharp pickled mooli and spicey peri, came with an interesting almost experimental bread and charcoal garlic butter, mmm yummy main was a wholesome hearty gaint yorkshire brimmed with onion gravey and sausages dressed with a herby oil and fries on the side, was perfectly portioned for a big fella like me, may be too much for some, but a brilliant meal. Finished off with a white chocolate raspberry blondie, with a tart raspberry coolis and custard. Wife had the burger was thick and tasty, nicely seasoned. Daughter had a big portion of fish fingers and chips. Table services was efficient and friendly. Locals were nice to talk to aswell. We all left happy and full, would recommend.

Absolutely amazing food never disappoints, just ate the fish of the day was amazing! Been here a handful of times especially On sundays as they do the best roasts in Huddersfield by a long shot the chef is absolutely amazing and polite as are all the staff to! Would definitely recommend visiting!!

It was a quite night- we watched the Tennis. Still can't get over how plush the carpet was. The beer was good. TV is in a good position, a few humorous comments passed about Wimbledon by others that actually made the tennis rather amusing. Will be going again...

Come up every Friday, friendly atmosphere and great with kids. Xxx

Our first visit to the Shepherds today and we have been very pleasantly surprised - it is just lovely. The food the service and the place are wonderful yet so very unassuming - thank you for a lovely meal and evening - Heath and Janine ⭐️

We had a lovely lunch - excellent choice of food - starters, mains and sweets. Great service- very friendlyi Food excellent. Cannot wait to go again. Everyone must try!!!!

An interesting and varied menu with fresh seasonal produce and fine attention to presentation. Always a warm welcome.

Been coming here for years now and the food is unreal! Lovely staff and atmosphere.. highly recommend!

Fabulous food, fantastic value, good service This is West End dining at East End prices. Great value for money

Third visit, consistently great! We dined on Father’s Day, so it was busy. The service was still excellent and attentive (very well trained and delightful waitresses), and the food was the same high quality as on our previous visits. We had confit pork shoulder with apple & black pudding mash, and roast beef with all the trimmings. The sticky toffee pudding is not to be missed. Thoroughly recommend this little gem

Wow 🤩 the best fish and chips! the batter was melt in your mouth and the home made chips just …yummmmmy samphire a gorgeous little add on I was only passing and what a gorgeous little gem I’ve found all the staff are so friendly and even the head chef popped over to me to check how the food was … I think my review says it all Chef I’ll be back with the hubby soon xx

Lovely mixed platter. Loads of fresh items and good choice of chicken and seafood. Excellent value meal.

We went for dinner on a Friday night. We took advantage of the Fizz Friday offer (£12 for a bottle of prosecco) The food was lovely, the service was warm and welcoming. The chef came and checked that everything was ok and I thought the price was good for the quality of the food. Look forward to returning soon.

Impressed with the food and quality of meal. Four of us went for food for family birthday. We all had different meals and all meals were delicious and amazing standard. Friendly and welcoming staff. Will definitely recommend and go again.

Having read other reviews on tripadvisor my wife and I gave the Shepherds Arms a go and I must say we were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived we were very well looked after and the food was amazing and very well presented, the...

Went for the first time today for Sunday lunch, ordered the chorizo starter and the beef lunch which were both fantastic. The sunday lunch is easily one of the nicest ones I've had. Would recommend.

Delicious scallops with ceviche and a spicy samosa as our starters. Followed by a tender filet of beef on tagliatelle with mushrooms (served with a side of potato and seasonal veg - too much!) The other main was mussels with hand cut chips, also extremely tasty. We will be back soon!

Superbly cooked and presented food. Super service and a warm welcome from the chef. We will be back 👍

Friendly, great atmosphere and Amazing food - well worth a visit

Staff are excellent, knowledgeable and attentive.

1st visit, won't be the last. Gorgeous food and service. My wife have roast beef Sunday lunch and I had fish. Gorgeous food. 1st ever zero alcohol beer on draught, always bottles, so nice having a pint. Recommended.

Went here for my birthday and had a fantastic experience. Three courses for under £30 including the most amazing roast beef Sunday dinner. Beef was succulent, moist and tender. Dessert was a indulgent sticky toffee pudding. Thank you so much.

service was quick, waitress was really nice, helped me with all my questions, chef even came out and asked me how my food was. price wasn't too bad to say how filling it was. would deffos recommend for a casual/ dinning dinner

Lived up to the billing. Very nice, not the cheapest but great food. Sea bass was extremely nice....

Where to start, what an incredible evening my husband and I had at The Shepards Arms last night. Service was top notch and the food was beyond outstanding! How have we never been here before! We shall most definitely be returning!

Another fab evening with excellent food, very good service and much laughter. Richard's cooking is still absolutely fantastic - all seven of us were absolutely delighted and very well fed. We will, of course, come back soon.

Lovely atmosphere and so welcoming

Warm welcoming with friendly staff, once again excellent service with high-quality dishes on offer. The balance of flavours and seasoning for the Tom Yum Prawns outstanding.

Just had lunch, all six of the party enjoyed our food, desserts to die for! Good service and friendly staff. We will definitely come back for dinner menu!

Our first visit to our new local. The place was buzzing. We ate an early dinner superbly cooked and presented.

We went here whilst on holiday in the area. It was a beautiful menu with piping hot home cooked food. It was promptly served with excellent service, and really good quality. The ales were also gorgeous, and went really well with the fish dishes. Many...

A fabulous Sunday lunch. We had a delightful afternoon with friends where we could focus on catching up while delicious food was served from attentive staff.

Went for a birthday meal; the food was delicious ( and filling ... didn't have room for dessert, unfortunately ). It was also the night of the England match and after we'd eaten in the restaurant, a table was set up for us so that we could watch the match in the bar ... that didn’t end well, but not their fault! Would definitely visit again.

Food was delicious and staff were welcoming and friendly. Will be returning.

Great choice of food which is cooked and presented in a wonderful way and the service and attention to detail is just great. Would highly recommend you giving this restaurant a try if you’ve not already been.

Absolutely fantastic steak night as always. Food cooked to perfection and staff always friendly and helpful. Can't wait for the next time.

Highly recommend a visit to this fabulous pub and restaurant- the food is exceptional as is the service. Great atmosphere and nothing is too much trouble. We always take our friends and family when they visit.

Our first visit and we ate in the restaurant which was quite quiet as early diners had moved into the bar as there was some football game on. Our starters were of very high quality, the scallops smelt divine and my soup was very rich...

Always a bit disconcerting when the carpark is empty on arrival at 1pm. Just some teenagers canoodling and vaping in a Honda Civic. But this place is an absolute gem. Service great all the way through. Lovely surroundings. And the food was amazing - everyone...

Had my 50th birthday celebrations there yesterday and the food was amazing as always. Thanks to racheal and the team..🙏🙏🙏

The food was delicious, the staff were super friendly and attentive. The chef came out to check we were enjoying our food. Honestly top notch and would happily come back!

We picked this pub at random as we needed somewhere to eat as we journied across the penines. We were delighted. The staff were very friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. Mid afternoon on a rainy November day the bar was very quiet, so we're not able to give much of a view of the atmosphere.

Very nice pub the food was spot on and we had great service from all the staff

Recent visit to restaurant, staff very helpful and welcoming...food and presentation of high standard , would highly recommend

Yet another wonderfull lunch at the Shepherds Arm's. The quality of the food is superb and the tastes esquisite. Every mouthful of all three courses is savoured and we depart satisfied and with a lasting sense deliciousness. Thank you.

We were looking to book a table at short notice and so pleased we found this place! The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and the food absolutely delicious. Freshly cooked and generous portions. We will definitely visit again!

Fantastic food. Great, friendly staff. Cannot fault this. Highly recommend. Had a Sunday roast beef, pink, fantastic. Melted in the mouth, gorgeous.

Went here for the steak night Lovely food great service will definitely visit again, Thank you very much!

It’s off the beaten track and it’s surprisingly the benches outside can be a lovely sun trap in summer but the spacious decor inside just looks amazing

Great meal will be back to enjoy again

Absolutely beautiful Sunday lunch from start to finish. The sirloin of beef cooked to perfection choice of pink or cooked through. We dined for the first time to celebrate dad's birthday and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We would definitely recommend to friends and family...

Nice cosy pub. Only had bar snack, which was a good toasted sandwich and fries, with super prompt service. Good car park for overnight stay.

Michelin quality food at a very reasonable price. 1st time we’ve eaten here and certainly not the last. Richard the head chef came out to see if everything was ok with our food which it was with the steaks 🥩 perfectly cooked to perfection!!! Nice...

Daughter at university. took her out for tea, requested a roast dinner. After searching online for somewhere to go, spotted Shepherds Arms. Great roast beef & staff were lovely. Recommend highly.

Wow, I can’t believe this was my first visit. The food was absolutely incredible, that gravy, that gravy is something else. I’d go as far as saying that was the best Sunday dinner I’ve ever had. Portion size was spot on too.

Sometimes you need a special place for a 'celebration of sorts' following my late sister's funeral. We had such a gathering at The Shepherds Arms and Rachael could not have been more welcoming or more helpful. A beautiful buffet spread, lovely and kind staff and...

This was our first visit on recommendation. Can honestly say I was not disappointed and the level of service and the quality of the food that we received. High quality fresh ingredients cooked to perfection and served piping hot. Considering they were shortstaffed on FoH...

An excellent village pub at the heart of the community, not only serving the normal bar food but also excellent gourmet food as well. Steak night is a must or the fish and chips are the best in Huddersfield!

Our first visit, and it won’t be our last as the staff are genuinely welcoming, attentive and skilled. The courses were consistently good - we ate dinner in the dining room but the pub side looked equally cosy for lunch times. A là carte served...

Fab meal, good staff, clean toilets. What's not to enjoy. Chef came out to ask if we enjoyed our meal, that's confidence for you. Will return. Thank you shepherd's arms for making a birthday memorable.

Had the most delicious meal tonight the food was amazing as always and it was fizz Friday so Prosecco was £12 a bottle

This was our first visit, we were looking for somewhere new and read the great reviews on trip advisor, it didn’t disappoint. Recently refurbished it was very clean. This is a lovely place with very friendly staff. The food was delicious and well presented. Very...

We had a lovely warm welcome and an excellent Sunday lunch and service. We will be returning and would highly recommend.

Never been here before although we have driven past many times. The outside doesn’t do credit to the lovely internal decor. We have a fabulous Sunday evening meal. Can highly recommend the desserts. Great food, extremely polite & professional staff. We are already planning a...

First visit... Wow will be returning. The food was very cooked bringing all the flavours out, the presentation was excellent. Staff are extremely helpful and attentive.

The food is excellent here with a relaxed atmosphere. Update, no it hasn't changed the food is still great and its a nice place to have a few pints

Omg the food was amazing and very well priced. The lady in the restaurant was lovely and so was the chef. Both accommodating, friendly, helpful and polite

Loved it. Sorry the Giants didn't win.

It was a surprise birthday dinner for my spouse. Rachael was awesome and ensured that we had a great time. Loved the serene environment and the food was delicious. Definitely, will be back.
