After walking around looking for somewhere to eat we ended up here, so glad we did sensational food and service. The food was so good despite having very full bellies we just had to get a desert. Absolutely fantastic great new menu.

Absolutely brilliant! Went for dinner with 5 friends. Superb choice of tapas, difficult to choose as I could have eaten them all. We had the sharing platters for starters. Absolutely delicious! Would recommend monkfish & bacon, sticky pork, pilpil prawns, chicken& chorizo in fact anything for the mains! We found 3 tapas between 2 was plenty after the large starter. We didn't make a dessert as we were all too full. Drinks weren't expensive either. Incredibly good value all round. Special mention to Caitlin, our waitress who was very knowledgeable about the menu and was very attentive. Would highly recommend this place.

The Taphouse is an annexe of our local The Nook Brewhouse in Holmfirth. We are regulars in the Nook but had a change for our 21st anniversary. Katelyn the manageress and Sam the Chef were absolutely amazing. We had fabulous Tapas and everything was cooked and served to perfection,thank you so much for making our day special. Xx

We arrived at 5pm on Sunday 16/6 and were ignored by the man behind the bar, we tried to make eye contact to say hello but there was nothing from him, it was like we didn't exist and there was only 1 other table there (a table of 3 for Fathers Day). The guy left the bar and went into the kitchen, we kept looking as there was a glass window in the door and could see him there but we were ignored for 5 minutes so we left. A real shame as we would have spent a lot on food and drinks and had highlighted Tap House as a point to visit but on reflection, only 3 people there on Fathers Day at 5pm when most others in the town were very busy (including the restaurant next door Lou and Joes Burger). It was our first stop in Holmfirth and thank goodness our other experiences were positive. Based on our own experience we wouldn't recommend, it doesn't take any effort to acknowledge your customers and just say 'Hi, sorry I will be with you in a minute' but in this instance, we were just ignored, we were not important enough to say hello. We experienced a completely different experience everywhere else that we tried in the wonderful town of Holmfirth so in a way, I feel sorry for the owners as their own staff are letting them down.

We were brought our starter with ours mains after specifically asking for it as a starter to share, I kindly explained to the server that we wanted it as a starter so we weren’t bothered about having it anymore unless she could knock it off the bill, she said she couldn’t do that as she still brought it and it wasn’t put down as a starter, we went back and forth a few times while I tried to put my point across that we definitely asked for is as a starter and they didn’t initially bring it as a starter and we would just have too much food all at once, finally she stormed off with the starter in a huff without saying anything and then bobbed her head round after to say she took it off the bill. We were then there for another hour and a half without anyone checking in with us to see how the food was or to get us more drinks, bare in mind the restaurant area was empty, only about 3 small groups of customers in the bar area and at least 3 members of staff working, I could only assume this was because the servers didn’t want to wait on us because of the starter debacle. We had to go to the bar to ask them if we could order more drinks and then again when we were done to pay our bill. The same server who brought our meals dealt with our bill and once we had all paid she didn’t say a word and walked away from the bar and we then left. My friends food was also burnt but we didn’t mention this as we were already made to feel like we were being difficult about the starter and also not given the opportunity as they never asked how our food was or checked in on us.

A group of 9 of us had a tapas meal at the Tap House yesterday. The food was served promptly, all hot and delicious as well as beautifully presented. Our waitress, Caitlin, was friendly and attentive. The dining room had a lovely atmosphere and comfortable seating. Also worth mentioning that the staff were very reassuring to my daughter who has a nut allergy and she felt safe eating there. A fantastic evening and we will definitely return for another meal! Thank you.

Went a day late as my family booked the wrong date and the staff were very helpful getting us a table within 15 minutes.

Recently we returned to Tap house for our 3rd visit as a family. Overall our evening was great! Unfortunately we had got our booking mixed up and turned up a day late. The staff were very accommodating and were able to fit us in straight away. The tapas was amazing and the drinks on offer were great too including the cocktails and real ale on sale. Staff very friendly and happy to help advise on portion sizes and how much to order per person.

Thanks to the staff at the Tap House for providing an excellent party venue. The curries we had were lovely and many of our guests remarked on this. The bar staff were great and friendly and they supported us with setting up our event. The venue was excellent with different areas - some noisy and others quiet for a chat, so everyone was catered for. Many Thanks would definitely recommend.

We called in twice in one evening, just because our first visit was so good. Staff were really friendly and hard working. However, when we came in for the second time the overwhelming stench hung in the air. People were walking in and then straight out as the smell was too much. The bar staff were apologising because it was so bad. I know it can't be helped but it marred the end of a great night.

We are occasional visitors to this pub, and feeling peckish last night decided to try a couple of items off their tempting-looking tapas menu. Opting for the “Greek Style Chicken Kebab” and the “Salt & Pepper Baby Squid”, this was the first time we’d ordered food there, and we had high hopes because the grub that we’d seen being carried around by staff on this and previous visits had all looked lovely. As things turned out however, it was a very mixed bag. First the positive: The overall presentation was good, the chicken dish being served on a wooden board which is always a nice touch. And the chicken itself was cooked to a tee. The portion was also decent, with a nice tasty skewer of tender breast chunks for each of us. The flatbread however was slightly overcooked and a bit hard around the edges in some places. I persevered with my half of the bread, but the wife left some of hers. The tzatziki was okay but nothing to do cartwheels over, and the salad garnish was just that – salad garnish. Adequate, but nothing more. Overall rating: 3/5 Now the negative: The squid dish was truly awful and a complete waste of 8.50. We may as well not have bothered. In total there were 5 pieces of what was supposed to be battered squid, but when the time came to share that between us, it turned out that 3 of the 5 pieces were just batter with nothing inside, and the pieces of squid that the remaining 2 actually contained were about the site of a fingernail and utterly devoid of taste. “Baby squid” was overstating matters. More accurate would be “virtually non-existent squid”. As for the salad bed that accompanied it, that was just a heap of tired-looking rocket in a boring lemon dressing. And we didn’t even get the aioli dip that the menu said was supposed to accompany it. Overall rating: a very poor 1/5 We like the pub itself. The ambience and atmosphere are good, and the mixed-age clientele respectable. Like the food however, the staff are also a mixed bag: All youngsters, some reasonably efficient but others looking like they’d rather be somewhere else and in need of brushing up their “people skills” (on one occasion I asked for a fresh glass, only to have it slammed down onto the bar in front of me with a disapproving scowl from the barmaid). Would we eat there again? We *might* give it one more chance. But only one!

We were stay it the Nook rooms about the Tap House and had to check in at the bar. After being escorted to our rooms we came back for a bear and something to eat and did not move any further. The beer was good and the food prepared fresh. After a long journey the staff were helpful, efficient and provided just what we needed. The menu had a good selection and the was also a specials board. I had the fish platter which is a selection of cold fish and well presented. It fulfilled out needs. There was a wide range of age groups in the small bar area. We sat in the dining area to the rear and moved no further. I will be recommending this place to my beer drinking friends.

We only went in there for a beer and glass of wine, but having perused the menu we cancelled the reservation we had across the road and opted for the meat meze board, a side of olives and garlic mushroomsWe were not disappointed, it was excellent, the mushrooms were with roasted garlic which were soft and delightful. The olive bread was very tasty, with big chunks of olive through it. The rest of the meze was superb, the meats were so moist and the humous was so clearly homemade.All in all my only complaint, if you could call it that, was that the olives could have been better marinated but that really is nit picking.In the end we left happy and as we hit the street bumped into a couple who asked for directions to another place and off the back of our review they were persuaded to go to the Tap House.

Lovely meal - we’d been earlier in the summer and had a meal and thought we’d try their new menu. We chose the meat board and picked a couple of tapas dishes too - haddock and the halloumi fries. Delicious home made olive bread served with the meat board, (so much so we asked for extra bread!) plenty of selection of meats, pickles, olives etc more than enough for two. The staff are really helpful in advising on number of tapas dishes to order if you’re not sure. Lovely meal and we’ll be back.

We ordered the prawns on the special board only to be told with disarming honesty by the waiter that the chef had quit, defrosting all the prawns. We were offered an alternative so went for what sounded like a lovely but pricey dish of calamari (£9.50) The plate was pathetic 7 or 8 rings that had clearly been defrosted and so thin they looked like from Iceland. We complained at the poor quality and how overpriced it was - only to be told by the waiter ‘ that’s what you get’We are regular customers who have made a big effort to support The Nook family over a very difficult 18 months over lockdowns. The beer is always good and the chilliNachos excellent. But the owners need to understand that there’s lots of bars and restaurants in Holmfirth that offer serious competition and they cannot rest on their laurels

We came here for some food early June 2021 and was blown away by the quality of the food. The Nook is a hidden gem, it is tucked away and not many people know of it but the food and drinks are absolutely gorgeous. My boyfriend had fish and chips and I had the Cajun chicken. My mum and dad came a couple of days before and really recommended it and I am so glad we listened to them and went. The staff were really friendly and the decor inside was really nice and felt almost hidden away!We will come again and be recommending it to our friends and family :)

Extensive menu with something for everyone. We dined as a family and shared a meat platter and camembert to start, followed by belly pork, homemade steak pie and a Taphouse stack. The food was faultless, beautifully presented and portions were sizable - a fair proportion returned home with us for Sunday lunch!As expected for a brewery bar, there was a good choice of ales as well as a selection of interesting cocktails. I can recommend the Funky Banana pale ale The staff too made the experience, very attentive and cheerful. Also an eclectic selection of music in the background. My only slight issue were the high tables and benches, although there are "normal" tables to the rear of the bar that are better suited to those who have mobility issues. It wasn't near enough to mar an otherwise excellent experience though.

The Tap House is my favourite bar for a Sunday afternoon pint and meal after a long walk. The beers are second-to-none (being brewed in the Nook next door) and the burgers are simply exceptional. The portions are generous, with real hand cut chips, great salad and coleslaw. Overall, the Tap House offers great value, professional service and high quality food and beers in a relaxed environment. Highly recommended!

Go in here quite a lot as Holmfirth is my preferred drinking area, but never had food, and have been pleasantly surprised today, we didnt want anything flamboyant or over the top, as we were only in Jean's and Jumpers, anyway, l had a Cheeseburger with chips and onion rings, and my Partner had the Steak and Ale Nook Pie, and it was delicious, the Chips were homemade, as they should be, just nicely browned and with plenty of taste, my burger was massive and l couldn't eat it all, but it was spot on, the Steak Pie was absolutely brilliant, lots of taste, lots of Steak and lots of gravy, again with homemade chips, unfortunately we had to leave some, as even undoing the top button of our Jean's wasn't helping, the Staff were pleasant and attentive, the new Manager was very helpful and had plenty of enthusiasm, all in all a good idea to give it a go, if you are in Holmfirth, give this place a bash, you will not be disappointed, a good 5 stars from me.

The front of house provided a modern bar yet with an excellent range of locally crafted beers, the funky banana beer was superb. The rear was more geared towards eating.

Stayed in the rooms above The Nook and the bar is good. Own brewed beer which is good (and lager). Quite small, which isn't a problem. Knocked a point off as it's really difficult to sit as some of the seats, they are really high!! Other than that, it's a great place to drink and the food looked good, although we didn't eat there

We ate before a gig at the Picturehouse. The place was very busy and we had about 30 min wait for food. but we all loved what we had ordered - mine a lovely lasagne (home made and excellent, others had the filled Yorkshire puds and burgers. all good portions and nicely presented. For those who like good Yorkshire food presented in a rustic way on scrubbed tables. But much tastier than fine dining!

A relaxed early meal of a delicious veggie platter, roast potatoes and salad. The staff were very attentive and service excellent. Good beer as well. We had the Bees Knees - delicious.

Have been here before in the summer and the food was great but I was nervous because so often when you return to a place you are disappointed. Not the case here it was all lovely and it’s reasonably priced and the staff are great-yes you can have two starters and no main, yes you can have an adult portion of the kids menu, no the house salad doesn’t come with feta but we can put some on etc etc. We had booked a table in the back room and I would recommend doing that if there’s a few of you as it gets very busy. Do please go it’s so nice to see an independent bar serving freshly cooked food in a friendly way and it’s not even expensive- 61 quid for 5 of us

Had a couple or three drinks in here as staying over for a gig. The in house brewed cask beer is spot on. And to keep the wife happy they have fizzy wine on tap. Didn’t eat but observing those that did they seemed happy enough.

Right in the heart of Holmfirth. Small bar with plenty of seating inside and a couple of tables outside. Plenty of options on drinks with real ales available. Average price for drinks. Plenty of staff available. Lovely and clean.

Ate in the restaurant twice whilst staying in holmfirth and visiting the Picturedrome. I had the veggie burger, crispy coat and moist flavoursome centre. Lots of topping and served in a large semi crispy bun , chunky Home made chips Large Home made onion ring absolutely delicious and very very filling. Wife had gammon and cleared her plate always a good sign! Returned Sunday lunch and had brisket roast . Such tender meat and veggies were to die for. The flavour of the gravy/ sauce was so tasty and again cleared the lot! Only had an hour before the gig so got chance to try the two lighter ales Baby light and blue I believe but both were very quaffable and would have loved to try the others. Topped off with friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely return .

We have visited a few times and found the beer quality to be average (using Sheffield, Leeds or Huddersfield as a yardstick). 23/8/18 there was one poor lad on duty at 17:30 trying to check in 6 guests, serve beers and change barrels. There were about 8 beer lines showing, but barely half available. Of the cask that was available, it was tired and unexciting.

Called in here for a quick bite to eat before a gig at the Picturedome accross the road. Food was good with decent portions and found the prices at lot more reasonable than other pubs in the area. If you order the nachos as a starter its is big enough to share or have as a main meal :)

Wow what a burger. The chips were amazing too. It was of high quality and huge. All elements were excellent. Just remember to wear your eating trousers!

Called in for a drink as the bar sells the same beer as the Nook, so we knew what we were going to get.

Several years ago I remember seeing a burger and chips on a menu for £10....for a burger ! Now the standard in gastropubs seems to be around £14-£15 for said burger and chips...well not here. Their burger was under £10 and WOW what a burger. Total quality, amazing chips and beautiful onion ring....absolutely amazing...so this review should be way more than 3 star...it's the drink prices. We're in Holmfirth not Holborn..almost £7 for a pint and a half oh boy.

In town for British Sea Power at the Picturedrome. This cosy bar/restaurant is just opposite. We went in initially for a drink but after checking out another place returned for food and more drinks. We both had the Classic Cheese burger which came with a giant onion ring and very chunky chips. It was cooked perfectly, very tasty and more than satisfied my hunger - I was beaten by the last few chips! The food was washed down by their own Nook Brewery Oat Stout. There were 5/6 handpulls for cask beers, plus many keg taps and a good range of bottles. Prices seemed very reasonably, service was good and friendly. We'd definitely go back.

I went for a drink and was tempted to try the Food. On the menu was Rosemary and Garlic Lamb Burger. Never having tried a lamb burger, I was intrigued. I ordered it and was not disappointed. Excellent with the Tzatziki Sauce really flavouring the Burger. I was impressed with the attentive and professional service. I would certainly go again.

The food was very nice and the portions ample and well presented. The staff were not quite as attentive as they could have been. We had made a booking, but it seemed they were not aware of it when we arrived, even though my friend had received a confirmation email. However, it was quiet so we got a table. The restaurant was closed, which was a shame, so we had to sit in the bar. Unfortunately, the seats in the bar are quite high and you have to climb up on a metal bar to reach the seat to be able to sit down. It was quite dim lighting in the bar, which is fine for drinking and chatting, but a little dark for eating. The young lady who served us was very nice though. Not sure if I would go again.

We had to come here on very short notice, as our booking in a different place fell through. And I have to say that we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of food, service and price. What at first glance looked like a mere...

Went for lunch, my wife had the fish butty and I had the roast beef with onions and gravy. They were brilliant, a lot of fish and beef, and very tasty. Great ale on tap, what more could you want?

This was our 4th outing to this superb restaurant for Sunday lunch. Our friends were as impressed as we were once again. The food was outstanding, the service exemplary and we could not have been treated any more like VIP’s by Francis and his team. The entire experience was indeed just wonderful and we will be back again very soon. Thank you everyone. You’re true professionals.

Booked a table for 4 for 7:30, we arrived on time, were shown to our table swiftly and had good attention from the wait person. However, on booking the website said the table needed to be vacated by 9 [which is actually when they say they close mid-week]. It was 8:30 by the time our food arrived, which if we had had to leave at 9 was a joke. Maybe this was to give you time to buy the expensive drinks. I thought the soft drinks were highly priced. I had to ask twice for mayonnaise with the chips. As another reviewer has noted, it probably is a venue for the younger generation, we were next to a table who were so loud it was difficult to hear each other speak. The burgers were not as filling as I had expected for hand made [I had the Ho Chi Munch [which I thought for a veggie option was overpriced as beetroot is not as expensive as beef] , others had the Boss, the Old Skool & the LTO. I doubt if we'll go again.
