Sid's Cafe in Kirklees - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Called in this icon while visiting the town the other day. We are fans of Last of the Summer Wine, so its a great place for nostalgia!!..Basic menu, but we had a tasty cheese and onion toasty, friendly staff and prices are reasonable

What a fab little cafe, a must for any Last of The Summer Wine fan, staff friendly and food nice, cater for gluten free which is excellent, also liked the fact prices were very reasonable being a tourist attraction

Had a capachino here. Absolutely disgusting. Tasted like they'd been cleaning the system out. Glad we didn't try the food

called in for lunch, lovely staff, quaint place. food good. Any fan of Last of the Summer Wine, this is a must to visit. Highly recommend

Arrived and sat outside as we had a dog with us, a girl came out to clear two other tables, didn’t acknowledge us. After waiting 10 minutes I went in to be told our order would be taken at the table. We then were joined by two other groups outside who had been inside and ordered and had there food delivered to them. We were told again someone would be out to take our order, we waited 5 more minutes before going to Ribbles where the service was excellent.

Lovely cafe with friendly staff and delicious homemade food! The homemade soup was delicious and the sandwiches were fresh, using quality produce. Great value and would definitely return.

I have been to the village a few times and have not been open due to renovations. Loved the last of the summer wine since I was a kid. When arrived, the staff was welcoming. Order a bacon roll and a coffee. The food was good quality, and the roll was huge. Nice coffee, too. Staff is happy to talk about the show and explain how it worked. Well, it's worth a visit.

What a gem 💎. Visited Holmfirth the last Saturday of 2023. Although the weather wasn't great, to say the least, it was chucking it down. A visit to Sids café brightened our day up. Pushing you back into nostalgia of the last of the summer wine. Not to say the sausage( teacake ) I had was equally as nice and the hot chocolates we had went down a dream on a miserable day.We will definitely visit Sids again when we're in Holmfirth..

Lovely cafe with super friendly staff right in the heart of Holmfirth. The menu is simple but tasty and the kids loved it. A great place and we will certainly visit again!

Service and friendliness are great. Jacket potatoes have poor presention and too small. Side salad was non-existent. Would we go back. Sadly, no.

Welcoming wee cafe with lots to offer. Staff are lovely and food tasty. My highlight was the memorabilia and knick knacks you can buy.

A must visit if you are a Last of The Summer Wine fan, had soup and a sandwich which was excellent and the staff were very pleasant.

Having watched "Last of the summer wine" for many years and still do, I just had to visit this cafe when in the area. It did not disappoint. The food was excellent and the staff even more so. One could imagine Foggy, Clegg and Compo sat at the next table.

The original cafe used in the Last of the Summer Wine series all those years go. The decor has changed very little over the years, which is absolutely how it should be to retain the atmosphere portrayed on TV. Only the layout has changed, probably to make the space work better. Lots of memorabilia around, and the food and drink is what you might expect from the 1970’s era, i.e. basic. A scone is a scone - no vanilla flavouring, cheese option or warming up in a microwave to give the impression of freshness. Just butter and jam. The polite table service and card payment option is something that Compo and his mates didn’t experience. Other than that, it is the Sid’s Cafe we all know and love.

We arrived on the late side for lunch (around 3.00pm) which was good as it wasn't busy. Great atmosphere with authentic gingham-covered tables. Food (jacket potatoes) was very good, with fresh salad garnish and the tea and parkin were excellent. Service was friendly and efficient. Maybe try to avoid busy times?

We decided to visit here early in the morning, before ‘the rush’. Exactly as on film. Loads of memorabilia to look at and loads of gifts to buy. Nice little menu too. We had a couple of milkshakes and they were delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was very clean inside and quite spacious inside with the layout of tables. Highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again.

It was lunchtime and very busy but we watched loads of people going inside and ordering at the counter. It was 🍋an hour before they brought out our food, a toasted sandwich & a jacket potato. When we asked where our food was after waiting 45 mins we were met with a stern reply that they were very busy. I’m sure they were but customers going in after we sat down after finishing their food were leaving having finished was not on 😡

Had a flat white and an Americano, both poor quality and left an unpleasant after taste. Had to buy ice cream to remove the taste!

Visited Holmfirth to explore Summer Wine Country. Very pretty but a little disappointing - until we found Sid's cafe. Quaint little cafe, lots of pictures and memorabilia. Prices were very good and the scones were moist, tasty and some of the best we have had, and we have visited lots of places.

Not sure what to expect when we turned up here and I was worried that it would be overly commercialised and very touristy however it was a lovely down to earth cafe with friendly locals and great food . I had the five bean chilli jacket potato , recommended by a lovely gentleman drinking the biggest cup of tea I have ever seen . The food was well cooked and tasty . The pot of tea filled our cups up a couple times and they top up with hot water if you ask , a true Yorkshire tradition . You can buy Last of the Summer Wine memorabilia and we got 3 postcards to send to family and friends . A little gem of a cafe .

Disappointed today when visited Sid's Cafe. Overpriced toasties which were very small portions, not very well presented. The staff took ages to take our order as they were busy giggling in the kitchen area. Not the most welcoming atmosphere, staff talking very loudly to other customers in a patronising way.

One of the rudest servers in a cafe I have ever experienced. Lots of tables outside and not clearly marked so simply sat on table from neighbouring cafe by mistake, lady on counter decided to shout at the top of her voice rudely that they didn't have such a table trying to embarrass me. I'm not one to be shouted at.

We stopped for a quick drink and toasted teacakes on our way home from our Easter holiday near Haworth. I saw Sid's cafe over 30 years ago but didn't go inside. My wife hadn't seen it so I said we would call in. Lovely little cafe with Last Of The Summer Wine memorabilia on the walls and various items to purchase. We were the only ones there when we went in but it filled up shortly afterwards. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Had the coffee machine been working it would have got a full five stars.

A must visit if your a last of the summer wine fan. Having looked forward to having lunch here we were disappointed with the food and tea that we had. Such a shame because it was to be the highlight of our visit to Holmfirth.

This is a really friendly little cafe, with loads of atmosphere and friendly staff. Anyone complaining the layout isn't the same as in the sitcom has failed to notice the difference between fiction and reality. They physically can't have the counter where it is in the show, because the kitchen would be in the ginnel beside the building. Anyone complaining the bus trip isn't running has fallen into the trap of thinking that Holmfirth is like the Magic Kingdom, with a whole town being run as a tourist attraction for their benefit. Instead we got good tea and good, honest, Yorkshire buns. A nice chat and a look at the many reasonably priced souvenirs you can buy. I've been here a few times over the years and they've always been friendly with good service and good product.

Lovely cafe what you see in last of the summer wine is what you get very nostalgic and a perfect cup of tea didn't eat but the food I saw looked very apertising and a great place to pick up a gift or two

Having visited this cafe many moons ago I decided to go back for a cuppa. Not a lot has changed. This is not a huge cafe so you may find getting a seat difficult. Luckily on a cold March day, this was not a problem....

Visited a couple of times in early May. Staff excellent; friendly, and ready to help - including talking about Last of the Summer Wine. Food was also excellent... If ever in the area again, will readily visit.

We stopped here for cheese and bacon toasties and coffees. We didn't have to wait long and everything was enjoyable.

After years of being a fan of 'Last of the Summer Wine', just couldn't wait to visit this Cafe. On approach it looked as expected, but the excitement soon disapated. There were lots of people sitting at the front, most smoking, which meant the air...

Yes if you’re a fan of LOTSW. Iconic cafe with souvenirs and memorabilia. I was slightly disappointed the counter wasn’t there and the lay out was different. Great for the experience and a photo (great from outside) but unfortunately the food/drink ( coffee/cream tea) wasn’t...

Average cafe, does what it says on the tin. One lady staff quite abrupt (Nora Batty's Ghost behind the counter I think!). Menu basic. Living off the Nostalgia of a TV show which it doesn't brand as best as it could I personally feel. Also...

We visited this café for brunch because we have always enjoyed the cheese toasties in the past. Sadly we were presented with a flatted bap that had faint griddle marks on it but no sign of toasting what so ever. The bap tasted cheap and...

Had to call in, inside is very nostalgic with lots of memorabilia. Authentic tables, chairs and tablecloths. Expected Compo and Clegg to walk in. Lovely coffee and cakes, a good menu at reasonable prices.

Looks lovely from the outside, such a shame and waste of time and fuel to find it closed. The large sign in the window said open but closed on the door.

Oh dear. As a family we were excited to visit here, I walked in and was smiling. We waited to be seated and felt a little ignored but non the less I'm still smiling. The room is just that, a tiny room, a tiny kitchen...

If you loved Last of the Summer Wine, you'll love this cafe that featured in this iconic programme. Took my 85-year-old Dad there, he was over the moon and still talks about it to all his friends. Highly recommended.

On a cold January Sunday morning , we were the first to arrive. Lovely welcome, lovely staff, lovely breakfast. Nothing fancy, just decent, honest cooking. Thank you.

Had to go and visit this cafe as we were passing through the town to visit family stopped for lunch and Couldn’t fault it nice staff food was great

This is a Holmfirth classic. It's not fancy or trendy - it's a straightforward caff and a lovely one. If you want a simple, fun, friendly bite to eat, it's a great place. Nothing fancy - but I do love it.

Laura and her staff are always welcoming and friendly, and they are always happy to see Summer Wine fans and foodies alike! Their excellent selection of cakes and snacks make every visit memorable!

The staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was great It’s a small place but it’s great inside with all of the photos on the wall of the actors and gifts

Whilst exploring the Last of the summer wine town of Holmfirth we had to visit Sid's Cafe .The staff are very friendly and the cost of tea for two very reasonable .

I was with my dog so tried to get a table outside but unfortunately there are only about 7 tables and they were all full. So I went inside and I ordered two butties and two coffees but whilst I was inside a table became...

Had a sausage and bacon sandwich which was microwaved, beans were cold, staff have no idea what they're doing. Will never go again

Just have to stop in here when in Holmfirth. Had cake and tea, of course! They sell a few LOSW items and you catch the bus tour out front. Many people stop here for a photo op! Staff very patient and kind.

The famous Sid's Cafe from Last of the Summer Wine evokes many memories for many of us, but the history aside it still provides a good breakfast in a relaxing environment in the lovely town of Holmfirth

We visited the iconic Sid’s Cafe on a wet afternoon in July and thankfully found plenty of space inside to eat. The menus are set under the glass table tops which is a good idea to save sanitising or throwing menus away after one use....

Friendly welcome during a rainstorm. We sat in back area under parasol/umbrella. Our dogs were welcome. Two hot chocolates, pot of tea, and a bowl of soup, all went down really well.

Not very impressed with the quality of the food and it was not cheap. The sausage sandwich comprised of hard bread and very vinegary tasting. Both the cheese and onion toasties were hard and not really toasty, more chewy. The lettuce on the salad was...

We were in Holmfirth today on a trip out from Sowerby Bridge. The weather has been superb. We had to sit outside the legendary Sids Cafe that was used in Last of the Summer Wine.We had coffee & scones. Fabulous.

After the Summer wine tour stopped here we found ourselves at the world famous SIDS cafe which featured in many of the episodes We had cappuccinos to wash down our scones/ jam and clotted cream which were very welcome after our tour I knocked 1...

My wife and I had visited some years ago - we took our daughter on this visit and she loved it even though she is too young to have been a fan of the highly successful series. If you are in the area, pop in for a cuppa and a snack.

What a brilliant experience to be able to come in for a brew and a snack in the original cafe from the show. I love that they’ve kept it in style of the original show and the menu lives up to it too. Lots of memorabilia too. A historic monument right here!

Fans of the TV series should visit for the nostalgia factor. Ordered two milkshakes - perfectly fine - pleased we’ve been but there are better places in the area

We stopped by Side cafe for a drink whilst staying over the road in the Old bridge. Quirky little cafe and very popular. You can purchase the teapots to bring home also. Great blast from the past and a good photo opportunity. We sat round the back in the little outdoor drinks garden as the weather wasn't fantastic and they have large brollies to keep the rain away whilst enjoying your brew. Only negative thing I would say is the price of a carton of apple juice was expensive for what it was wouldn't have minded if it was fresh but was only a carton of princes and was over £1. Nice to say we had visited and loved the teapots.

We visited Sids cafe as we were avid viewers of Last of the Summer Wine programme. Just as you saw the outside on TV. Friendly staff, prices were reasonable, we sat outside in the back garden. Well worth a visit

Absolutely spot on , quality and price , time has definitely stood still . For somewhere so prominent from the TV series it was reassuring to find it was still as previously visited , several years ago and still not taking advantage of the clientele.

Lovely little cafe, great attentive staff and fantastic safety measures in place, due to our current change of normal. Went here today for a light lunch, the manageress was very friendly and accommodating due to the fact that we had my dog with us & it was raining. We were seated outside under cover and thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Would highly recommend this great cafe. Thank you.

Came here with my family we all had delicious food. The soup was amazing and was full of flavour, the tea was a proper brew. Everyone rely enjoyed the food and the service was great.

Came across this little gem yesterday Completely by chance on our first day in Holmfirth. What a great find, delicious food, friendly staff. Felt very Covid safe! Will definitely visit again.

Today we visited Sods Cafe and had the Yorkshire tea scone with cream and jam, flapjack and chocolate cake. It was absolutely lovely. Scone is best I’ve ever tasted. They covid tracked safely and socially distanced safely. Service was excellent and waitress and staff were helpful and polite. Thank you we’ll be back.

Visted Sids a few times while we where on holiday had Ivys famous scones and cream which were very nice ,if you are a last of the summer wine fan a vist is a must

Sid's Cafe is a must when visiting Holmfirth, not just for its Last of the summer wine fame, but because it is a good "old fashioned"British Cafe. We had their bacon tea cakes. (Cobs/rolls) , which had plenty of bacon on them. Service was good and staff took all the necessary steps for Covid 19

Enjoyed our visit and would come again, great to reminisce and have a bite to eat at the same time :-)

very nice little cafe were last of the summer wine was part made, with a lot of photos of the people in the show, staff were very friendly and the food was very nice

Very friendly little cafe lovely cheese and onion toastie would recommend it !! Lots of memorabilia to look at.

Homemade cakes and tea. Can’t beat it. Choice of sandwiches, jacket potatoes etc too. Worth a visit if you ever watched Last of the Summer Wine. Can’t help feeling it could be improved though as they can’t keep cashing in on LOTSW forever. To attract a younger clientele, they are going to have to make it more appealing for youngsters.

Lovely food and super staff. I would highly recommend and will be back. I loved Last of the Summer Wine and it has been an ambition of mine to visit the cafe. It did not disappoint.

Had to stop by on our summer wine tour.different inside than on the show but nice little place.can get busy in summer.

Scone with butter, strawberry jam, filter coffee and earl grey tea. Lush little cafe where last of summer wine was

We visited here just recently with our son who is a real LOTSW fan.It was nice to look at the pictures and sit in the famous cafe. However it lacked atmosphere. Staff weren't very friendly or informative. Not a lot of eye contact or interest in their customers, shame really.Glad we visited but have no desire to return.We found other visitors who had been to Holmfirth before more knowledgeable and helpful.

Lots of photos from “last of the summer wine tv programme”, it is a very busy little cafe. I had a great beef sandwich with onion gravy, beef just gorgeous. Decent cup of tea too.

Sids Cafe is located in the village of Holmfirth and was a major set in the long running Last of the Summer Wine comedy. I was surprised to find it small and cosy, not as big as you think when you see it on telly. The walls are adorned with souveniers, tea towels, tee shirts, hoodies, cups, postcards etc, all at reasonable prices. The menu is simple, teas, traybakes, baps, and the Yorkshire delicacy - A large bap(barm) with slices of roast beef, generously covered in onion gravy.....delicious. Like a sloppy roast beef sandwich. The staff were friendly but not intrusive, they happily answered any questions we had. It was lovely to see it in person after watching for years on tv. My husband is an avid LOTSW fan and he really enjoyed the experience. The village of Holmfirth is a lot bigger than i was expecting and has a great selection of shops to while away an afternoon.

Today 4 of us went to Sid's cafe with our mum and dad who had travelled from Spain to visit Holmfirth. I don't know if they had had a bad day but the staff were cold and unwelcoming and at times downright rude. We were the only visitors in the cafe. My dad asked if they usually got more visitors and got a 1 word answer "plenty". Later dad tried to make conversation again, all the staff ignored him. There was a bad atmosphere in the place. We didn't enjoy the experience at all and couldn't wait to leave, mum and dad were both thoroughly disappointed, as were we. As we walked around Holmfirth visiting some of the other attractions, we met a lovely lady called Tracy and shared our experience, she said she had had the same experience as us and told us where to go for a good meal and get a friendly welcome. It was good to talk to a friendly Yorkshire lady after our terrible experience in Sid's cafe.

No tour of Last of the summer wine would ever be complete if you didn’t visit Sids Cafe. A great selection of food and drinks and lots of photos and stuff from the show. Friendly welcoming staff.

Places like this can be very tacky, but this one isn't. Its very raison d'etre is that is reminding you of the Last of the Summer Wine series, now consigned to afternoon repeat TV channels. However, it is quite well done, and the pot of tea we were served was most enjoyable. Every table was fully occupied when we visited late on a Saturday afternoon, and the five staff (how do you manage to work in such a small kitchen area?), were polite and competent. We left most contented.

We had to travel to Huddersfield from near Lichfield to pick something up. I noticed on the map that Holmfirth wasn't a million miles away from where we were going so decided to have a look round. Sid's café was one of the places we wanted to go to as it served two purposes, 1, It was a filming location and 2,we needed something to eat! The place was nearly empty at 2-30 so we found a seat at a clean table ( they all were) When we looked at the menu we were surprised at the prices. For such a famous location They were so cheap! Food was ordered, And tea and coffee, Food came quickly and efficiently. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was nice. We will be back to stay longer next time.

When we went in there were four members of staff behind the counter chatting. No-one acknowledged us. There was table full of dirty crockery which no-one was attempting to clear. When our drinks arrived they were stone cold - although they were willingly changed when we complained. NOT impressed !!

Travelling to Holmfirth this cafe is a must as it features so much in LOTSW show. Good food - lovely cream scones and all reasonably priced.

When you go to a tourist attraction you expect to be financially exploited and have poor quality but Sid’s Cafe bucks both these trends. A generous slice of coffee cake and a mug of coffee and change from £5 I think is reasonable. The coffee cake is wonderful, it was light, moist and full of flavour. I will happily bike the 25 to come back

Just called in for drinks, for the experience. Cafe just as I remember it from the TV series. Trade was brisk and most people were having light snacks which looked appetising. We bought a few momentos as well.

We sat outside in the sunshine and enjoyed a typically English tea. The cafe is smaller than I expected - TV plays some tricks - but had an authentic feel. I had my photo taken alongside a life-size photograph of Nora Batty. Worth a visit if you remember the TV series.

Seen it many times on the TV but hadn't realised how small it was. Wonderful how they can "edit" it into looking twice it's size! That said, we didn't find the staff overly helpful and were definitely not tempted to even have a cuppa .Overall, disappointed.

A must see in Holmfirth! If you are a fan of Last Of The Summer Wine then a trip to this Cafe is a must do! You can drink your tea out of a saucer just like Compo and you can have jam and cream scones...a must try. Souvenirs are available for purchase. We had no problems getting a table although I imagine it can get busy at times. The staff are super friendly and the food is good. You can also catch a tour bus just steps from the cafe. We had a blast and it crossed something off my wife’s bucket list.

Really nice cafe going back to the last of the summer wine really good service and cracking staff THANKS

This is the famous Sid's Cafe from Last of the Summer Wine. Popped in here for a lovely mug of black coffee on a wet Sunday morning. The young staff serving here are very welcoming and are a credit to the place. You can buy some Summer Wine merchandise should you wish to do that. Will definitely come here again if I'm the area.

Even though we live nearby we’ve never been to Sid’s Café so just having missed our bus and being nearly lunchtime we decided to go and see the famous café.

Called into sids cafe because i wanted to see it inside,had something to eat,staff friendly and polite,well worth a visit thats for sure loved seeing inside.

We had a day to kill when moving from one place to another and so decided to take a trip into Holmfirth. We headed for Sid’s Cafe for lunch. The staff were welcoming and prepared our food fresh. It was interesting to sit in a (almost) TV set. A reasonable length of menu and as things were freshly prepared, items could be prepared to the customers likes and preferences.

Been a couple of times and this is a great little cafe in lovely surroundings. Nice seating area outside & friendly staff.

Cafe full all the time, friendly staff very efficient, basic but tasty food. Recommend for anyone who's a fan of Last of the Summer Wine.

If you’re a fan of summer wine this is a must visit,my partner and i visited April 2019,had tea and sausage batches excellent service friendly staff.

We visited here today.Having seen this place on TV we had to go in. Quite cramped seating inside.Service friendly and efficient.Only had a soft drink and scone which was good.

Had to visit as I'd seen it many times on the show.
