The Aspley in Kirklees

We have attempted to book here twice with family. On the first occasion, we turned up and the gas wasn't working in the kitchen. No one had called us and let us know so when we got there we had to find somewhere else to dine with the kids hungry. On this occasion, I had booked a table for fathers day on the Thursday at 6am. Someone from the restaurant then called me on Friday at 5.30pm to tell me that our booking had gone through online, but there was no table allocated. The woman on the phone offered no alternative time for the booking and simply said with a rude tone that there wasn't anything they could do. When I asked why they'd left it nearly 2 days she said you only booked yesterday anyway. This has left us with no where to eat to celebrate fathers day. Due to this terrible service, we will not be choosing to dine here again.

Friendly service and welcome from Phyl. Lovey breakfast cooked by Christo. set up for the day. Would def recommend if staying locally or passing . Nice location by canal.

Lovely breakfast cooked by Christa and amazing hospitality from Phyl. Lovely welcome, fantastically attentive and the best customer service. Great stuff!!!

This is the best place to come when you have young children as Phyl is fantastic, always a warm welcome and really cheery. Christa makes the best breakfast.

This was supposed to be trial run for meeting a group of friends and after today's awful meal am trying to find an alternative venue! I had the salad with added steak and the steak was pure gristle; couldn't cut it with a steak knife let alone chew or eat it! The avocado in the salad was overripe and well past it's eat by date. In fairness when I complained they brought me another meal and I opted for chicken which was at least edible if totally bland. However we were still charged for the steak which was not edible. My partner had the steak and ale pie which he said was not brilliant either and he left half of his meal too! Staff were pleasant enough though.

Great food and great service. Chloe who served us was a superstar - a credit to the organisation. Cheers Chloe! All three of us really enjoyed it.

Front of house staff, hannan Ebony and Ellie were pleasant and helpful. We ordered promptly and one of the party just wanted a plain chicken burger.....no sauces, no coleslaw just chicken lettuce and onion in the bun. When the order came her meal was straight from menu.........Ellie apologised and showed us she had written exactly what was ordered, a new burger came.....this time smothered in ketchup. Again Ellie was so upset and said kitchen were blaming the foh staff. When the 3rd burger came it was thankfully correct. Apart from fact our friend ate alone,the food is good. Hannah came and said she was prepared to offer free desert or coffee, we didn't have desert but had one coffee. We visit here quite often and feel the problem was definitely in the kitchen.

Food excellent. Staff good. BUT !!!! If they no longer sell Black Sheep real ale, arguably the best real ale in the country, they should remove both Black Sheep pumps on the bar. I am sure that I am not the only real ale devotee who suffered very acute disappointment.

I’ve stayed at the nearby Premier Inn several times and had breakfast at The Ashley on each occasion. It really brightens my day to have a chat to Phil and Christa, who are welcoming and friendly. Food is served, hot, quickly and made to your personal preferences. Would wholeheartedly recommend!

Absolutely fabulous food and service. Chloe is a total professional. Very attentive and obviously enjoys her job working with people. The Chicken Tikka Curry was really nice and would not be out of place in a very good Indian restaurant.

I recently visited for breakfast. I was dining by myself, which is very much out of my comfort zone. I was greeted by the most welcoming staff Phyl and David. They were very attentive and definitely went above and beyond. The breakfast was beautiful, fresh and hot. The selection on offer was more than expected. I will definitely visit again. Thank you

Lovely brekkie, friendly staff! Full English at 6:30 with complete customisation. A nice view of canal which was very relaxing.

Great breakfast and fast and friendly service from Phyl and Christa. Lots of continental options available, breakfast delivered quickly and boiling hot

We go for breakfast once a month with a group of friends. We always find the waitress Phil and her colleague Dave to be welcoming and efficient and the food isvwell cookef

From the time I entered the restaurant and I heard the lovely voice of Phil I felt I was in good hands she seems to like what she do thank you i told her that she is a professional the breakfast was brilliant the chef Christa presentation excellent thank you very much for making my stay so Pleasant.

Very welcoming and friendly atmosphere with excellent food both at dinner and breakfast. Phyl was a wonderful waitress and Christa cooks delicious porridge!

Whilst the food tasted ok, my son's burger was raw inside, my plate had half the chips that were on another plate, the portions were too small for the price being charged and even though it was quiet it took over half an hour for our food to arrive. I did complain and was told the chef was a trainee. If that's the case he should be monitored more closely. I did get a partial refund, which was good of them to do, but I won't be going back.

All the staff were polite, friendly and very attentive. There was a nice atmosphere and the food was lovely. Looking forward to our next visit.

Good location for business trips and Philomena’s service at breakfast was second to none. She is a great asset to the premier inn.

Arrived early and went fir breakfast without booking. Phyl accommidated us without issue. She was lovely, bubbly and gave great customer service.

Friendly staff, and it was very busy at lunchtime so obviously popular with local folks. Good location, right in the Marina, and lovely to see the boats going by. Menu is obviously a chain production type arrangement but with plenty of choice of standard pub grub type food - burgers, lasagne etc. however, the quality of the food is not brilliant - no salad served with starters, and the fish and chips dish was not very nice at all, soggy, greasy and grey fish and undercooked chips. We were in the area awaiting a car service hence why we chose it to eat whilst we were waiting, but probably wouldn’t go again.

As always from several years staying at Aspley Lock another good visit with great people particularly Phyl with her wake up breakfast humour, David and John looking after everything. No brainier for a place to stay opposite the University

Great breakfast. With Phyl being the sunshine that makes breakfast extra special. Many thanks to Christa and John for delivering the perfect breakfast.

Visited with my brother who was up from London. We both had the mini pies which were delicious . Both dishes came hot. Certainly visit again.

Great spot with amazing staff!! Can’t recommend enough if your son/daughter is at Uni here. The staff are friendly and can’t help you enough!!

Called for breakfast, value for money £10 all you can eat, food was delicious, quick and cooked how we’d asked. Restaurant/ bar area lovely and clean. Toilets clean too but looking a bit tired, need a refit. The staff were fabulous, Philomena couldn’t do enough...

Our family spent a great evening here and a good night was had by all. An area had been reserved for our party of 20 which was just perfect. The waiter explained there would be a wait for food which was totally acceptable and gave...

We have been a few times over the last few years and keep going back. Good food (descent portion sizes) could do with an OAP portion size though, good menu lots of options, good value for money. Lovely friendly staff. Good location.

Always a delight to start the day with a hearty breakfast and happy friendly staff. There is a good selection of cooked or continental breakfast all at a great price. Philomena always has a smile on her face which can brighten up the dullest of...

Sam Ebony and Chloe have exceeded my expectations and delivered an outstanding service I would definitely recommend the place and the staff should get some incentive as a recognition for their exceptional service Chloe has gone the extra miles with her smile and customer satisfaction

Was staying in the hotel next door and went here for my evening meal Had a starter and a main the food was served quickly and was lovely The staff were great and very helpful and chatty would definitely recommend this place

Amazing food and service as always. Shannon was a lovely host, friendly and nothing was too much. Had many different meals from their menu on many times and always perfect

Stayed in the hotel for business Soli female Great location Lovely food Excellent service Enjoyed both breakfast and main meal

Excellent server philomenia, helpful, chatty, nothing is too much trouble for her. Will certainly call again Breakfast beautifully cooked, good value

Visited Saturday lunchtime with my daughter & 2 granddaughters. Friendly staff, efficient service and a very enjoyable lunch. The 3 course meal for children is amazing value. Recommended.

A stunning pub restaurant by the canal which also serves as a Premier Inn side restaurant. The food was really good, way above the average restaurant quality. It came quickly after the order was made and it was reasonably priced. Wouldn't be able to fault...

The lady doing breakfast in the morning is amazing, like a well oiled machine just what you want in the morning. Food out promptly and was palatable. Can’t complain about the service at all really 3.5* but rounded it up to 4 because I’m nice...

Decent food, my steak still had 4 legs and decided to run off my plate and never came back #stayinalive ……………………………………….

Booked for a birthday celebration. Food was delicious, service was professional, in fact the staff & manager went out of their way, so we all had a great time. Thank you

Review of a breakfast on a business trip. I received an incredible welcome and even found a table to charge my phone which I desperately needed for meetings that day. Massive kudos to Phil, Crystal and Nat for incredible breakfast. Best I’ve ever had in...

I came for dinner while staying over on business. The venue was very busy with a buzzing atmosphere. The customer service from Ellie and Sam was wonderful. Both members of staff ensured that I was well looked after for the duration. Sam couldn’t have tried...

We stayed at the attached premier inn for 2 nights. Breakfast was OK. The rest of the food was terrible. Chicken and ham pie looked like sick inside the pastry that was hard. Peas had a white colouring on them. The place was filthy, small...

Visited with my autistic daughter this evening, served by Sam who was exceptional. Super patient, went above and beyond to ensure we sat where she was comfortable, accommodated all her quirky requests with a smile. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The food (cooked...

Honestly, it was a bit of a mixed opinion of our visit, We had amazing service on Saturday morning (dined at around 08:30), Sam was lovely and attentive, and the other lady was also very pleasant, we couldn’t catch her name. We had an amazing...

Oh how the mighty have fallen... Not so long ago this was a wonderful restaurant with incredible staff - enter stage left - the premier Inn. All said incredible staff have left that I can see. Service is non existent with only 3 staff of...

We were treated with the upmost respect by a young man called Sam, he was very attentive to our concerns and needs. He also spoke and had a little banter with the little children in our group. Thank you Sam for your hospitality.

So we were staying in the hotel along side, we arrived at the hoteo just before 10 and poped in for a drink im a rattler drinker so have to find something different when away, its a shame whitbread dont sell it, we went down...

Terrible experience, no staff! Given a dried up jacket potato, with supposedly chilli on top, it was just brown slop with no meat wotsoever, was just a gravy, no soured cream as on menu. Will not attend again

Great value breakfasts. We visit monthly and always get great service from Phyl. She's a star and runs the breakfast service well. We always get hot well cooked food and hang around for a chat afterwards.

lovely breakfast, great service from Phyl!! super friendly. Great prices, good value for money, will be back again!!!

Brilliant service lovely staff Excellent food and great with children Totally reccomended by me and my family Great 5 stars.

i took my children and grand children for their advertised 2 for 1 on mains. when i got the bill i was surprised to see we had been charged just short of £50 for 4 mains which should have totaled around £22.50 and also full...

Just want to say a massive thank you to all the staff that made our Xmas dinner absolutely amazing!! The service was so good. The food was lovely we had a gentlemen called David looking after us and he was so nice, looked after us...

Nice setting by the canal. Really friendly vibe. Lovely veggie breakfast made by Christa. Don’t usually leave reviews but Phyl, who served me was lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful.

This place has had a complete overhaul, new staff, food is a lot better and even the men's toilets smell nice 🤣 Alison made our evening even better by being patient with my children and me when I couldn't decide what I wanted 🤣 If...

What can we say about the staff at Breakfast Phyl is so welcoming and so friendly and very efficient. She has a great memory and remembers if you have been before. The morning is sit up in the right way when you come to Aspley...

Phyl at breakfast always makes sure everyone is attended to and well fed. I would come back here just for her, she is an absolute star!

Wow! We haven’t eaten here for around 5 years and what a change to the staffing levels. We had booked a table for 6pm and arrived on time. There was a family of 4 waiting to be seated before us. They waited and waited and...

I’ve eaten here many times over the last year for business whilst staying at the Premier Inn next door. Always a welcoming experience and the food is great! Special thanks go to Natalie, Ellie, Sam, Ruben, Will, Oliver (both Olivers), Maggie, Jake, Ebony, Channelle and...

Sooooogood! The sausages were delicious and cooked to perfection! Sam is a great chef! Will definitely be back. Shout out to Ellie, our waitress too, she was amazing. Lovely experience

It would be unfair not to leave a review for the amazing Phyl who runs breakfast single handedly and just takes it in her stride. She never stops and always on the go, whilst making sure you are fed and watered ready for the day...

I don’t even know where to begin. We walked in, to be told to wait… nothing else, just wait. As this lady (who we believe to be called Phil) walked away from us and went and spoke to another table, whilst I understand she was...

Christa welcomes customers with a smile and cheery attitude every morning without fail and always delivers a fast and professional service. The hot breakfast the chef makes is always to a delicious standard. Overall, it’s a great start to the day!

Great service by Phyl and food was all good, also surprising good coffee. All in all a grand start to the day.

Great cooked breakfast and fab service from Phyl. Highly recommend breakfast and the friendly and humorous service.

Really enjoyed our recent visit , food great service from Oliver was amazing. Great covid rules in place and easy one way system. Will definitely be back. Thank Oliver also who was efficient and friendly.

Really excellent service particularly Chloe, Shania, Connor great team always attentive well done guys keep up the good work 👍

Thank you Chloe, Connor, Shanaiya and the team for a fabulous experience. The food is fabulous as is the team. We’ve been fans of Table Table for years and will continue to be so.

Came here for some food this evening and had amazing service from Connor and Christine throughout our stay. Super friendly and the food was lovely.

Came in after the Odeon (Ropewalk is closed) with the Mrs and little girl. Fantastic service, well set up (covid safe), and burgers were bloody great. Very scenic location and most importantly great quality beer 🍻👌. See you soon!

We had a lovely visit today. Chloe was really attentive and even my awkward daughter got the right meals which os a rarety...she is very fussy ! Thank you for such a fab visit 😊

An absolutely wonderful evening with dad, daughter & granddaughter!We are in unlocked times and the service from Oliver & Meghan was superb.We had a lovely relaxing evening, our meals were delicious and the take home treats for mum smell gorgeous. Thank you to all the staff for a well organised and excellent time.Please keep up these amazing standards.The Flowers family @ Ashbrow Garage

Sat outside in the rain. A bright spot in a wet Huddersfield. Lovely meal and great service from Oliver!

Called here last weekend and ordered two soft drinks We were given two glasses nearly full of ice cubes and about a 100ml of cola for the bargain price of £5. No ice was requested and I can only assume it’s company policy to rip people off with ice instead of cheap cola . We didn’t bother ordering food and will not be returning here again

So my first visit back after which ever lockdown we’ve just had in May 2021. Still outside only but staff been excellent and food has been delicious. Look forward to sitting indoors again as British weather not the kindest but great looking at the boats!

We visited our favourite and well missed Aspley yesterday and god it was so good to be back. The tables were well spaced out, very covid safe, plenty of sanitiser, staff had masks on and it was just fabulous. Matthew served us most of the day and he was amazing and delightful as always and nothing was too much trouble. All the staff were great! We had a really perfect day and stayed from 3pm until after 8pm. Food and drink were lovely and we felt safe as it was our first time out with friends. A massive thank you to all the staff for a really fantastic Covid safe day. We will be back.

Thanks Chloe, Callum and Dan for reminding us what we’ve missed. Lovely food and friendly service at Aspley Table Table.

On our canal boat trip this restaurant was hard by the canal so we didn't have to scour the town for a place to eat. It was nicely positioned by the canal and the food was acceptable , , although a little underwhelming. However, we did enjoy the experience and would certainly recommend this place to fellow canal travellers.

We visited the restaurant on the evening before the lockdown came in. In spite of all the challenges involved of going into a lockdown, every member of staff was amazing - genuinely friendly and nothing was too much trouble.It is almost unfair to single out a single person, for fear of missing out others who deserved praise, but Kim and Shanya were especially worth a mention.All courses were well prepared and served efficiently, whilst allowing for courses to digest.Having visited The Aspley over a number of years it has always been good, but is now better than it ever has been. Well done and thanks.

We have visited here a few times recently. Today we went for lunch before they have to close for lock down. The staff are always lovely. Kim & Chloe looked after us brilliantly today, but all the staff are equally pleasant & attentive whenever we go. The lunch menu food is really enjoyable & an absolute bargain at 2 meals for £8.99. The gammon & eggs were cooked just right.. We have always felt completely safe visiting during this Covid mess. With all the safe precautions they have put it place it seems a real shame places like this are suffering because of lockdown. As Soon as they are open again we will definitely be back. ThankYou.

Second time eating at the Aspley Table Table whilst staying at the next door Premier Inn. Location is perfect - next to the canal but very near to the city centre. Food very good value - we took advantage of the meal deal via the premier, £24 for 2 course dinner with drink, and full breakfast.Staff very attentive and friendly - special mention to Megan & Connor

Great food with great service, from out of town but would recommend this place. A relaxing atmosphere, with some nice scenery.

Visitied The Aspley on a whistle stop visit to see out son, the staff were very accomodating and seated us in a side room with a very large table to ensure we complied with social distancing. We were served by Matt and Connor during our visit, both of which were very attentive and made some excellent recommendations for food and drink throughout. Food quality was top notch, portions were good. Warning - the red chillies on the trash can nachos are hot hot hot!!! Praise where it is due, this is definatley a place to visit when in Town. 5 STAR! Can't wait to visit in the summer, when we can get together again at the side of the canal...

Staff friendly, in particular great service from Connor and Matt, food lovely and at a good price too!

Great food and service received, Connor and all the staff were very polite. Really good value for money.

Myself and my partner are regulars at Table Table and have always enjoyed the location, drinks and food. It was a pleasant surprise last night that a member of staff we use to see pre-COVID was working and she even remembered who we were and ask how we had been. Great customer service from Megan who was great throughout. It’s staff like this at Table Table that make us continue to return. Special mention should go to Connor and his ever changing hair colour.

Great little place for a cheap bite to eat for you and little ones. Perfect in half term for us getting sometime with the kids and really cheap in the daytime, service from Oliver was great too:)

Visited here with the little lady as she’s on half term break, was pleasantly surprised by the price of the menus compared to most other restaurants in the town centre, service from Oliver was brilliant and being a waiter myself was very refreshing to see. My Mac and cheese smothered chicken was a different but tasty meal, and my daughter was very happy with the popcorn chicken. Great value for money!

We decided to venture out for our first meal since lockdown and Connor and his bubbly personality and sense of humour made it extra enjoyable the food was top notch especially the puddings! Only thing missing was a Smirnoff ice! Budweiser had to do lol. Thanks Connor from table number 2!

Came in with my wife (24/10/20) was greeted at a nice Social distance on arrival with all the correct nhs procedures including track and trace, which was comforting to know, the staff here were ever so helpful, especially our server Oliver who looked after us from hello to goodbye and what a lovely chap he is, signed us up with the loyalty cards and promised him we’ll be back, food was lovely my beef and doom bar pie was delicious and husband was impressed with the size of the haddock, can’t wait to return, thanks a bunch aspley

I came to visit today and I was served by Stephen and I had a bit of a issue regarding last time I came and I spoke to him and the general manager about my problem and all I can say is he is a asset to the company and the food was really good as well and all I can say is we'll done to him

Called in for a spot of lunch today by off chance, after visiting a funeral home near bye as we lay my grandpa to rest tomorrow and fancied a little pick us up treat to cheer us up. What a little hidden gem of a place this pub restaurant is. On arrival was greeted by Matt, great friendly warm welcoming talked us through the Covid restrictions and check in. Then seated us took a drinks order etc.Then we was looked after by Oliver throughout our visit. He couldn’t do enough for us made us feel so welcome. He even saved us some money off our bill which was a added bonus. His service was exceptional. We had starters, mains and desserts followed with lots of coffee during our visit. The food was amazing large portions and so tasty. Oliver recommend me the cauliflower starter and the eaten mess dessert both dishes was delicious good recommendation on his part. This place is fully socially aware and COVID-19 compliant definitely recommend and definitely will be back again soon.The good bye was just as nice and friendly as the welcome was. Two amazing well trained members of staff so thank you Matt and Oliver for making our first of many visits a lovely warm friendly experience.

Just had a lovely meal at the Aspley all the staff are friendly and very helpful as usual. Will be back again soon thank you all.

The staff were lovely and friendly its very clean with great distancing measures and the food was great

Another great meal at The Aspley - special mention to the servers - Megan,Chloe and Shanaiya ! - and not forgetting Georgina - always friendly !!

VISIT(12/10/20) being from Doncaster this was the first visit to the Aspley Huddersfield , having tried many places over the years and felt pretty ripped off for value and standard of the food we were extremely happy we chose the Aspley, we didn't book so was very lucky to be seated in the best seat in the house( overlooking the boats). My husband and i both took advantage of the brilliant 2 for 8.99 menu. i ate the south west burger and my husband ate the paprika chicken, and i must say the value for what we had was amazing. will make sure of a return when i visit Huddersfield again, thankyou again the the lovely oliver who looked after us throughout our whole meal, see you soon table table

We had 3 lovely Sunday lunches and puds. Server Connor was very lovely. Portion sizes were decent and we couldn't eat it all. Very clean and safe and we love watching the canal boats too :-)

Conor served us throughout and was polite, funny and Helpful. Was a pleasure and the food was spot on. Thank you x

We stayed in the Premier Inn (also very good) for one night and we had a meal in The Ashley. Nice meal, waitress, Megan great, same with breakfast in the morning, excellent service, friendly staff - we would stay again and use the restaurant.

Visited for lunch with my husband who has been shielding from March to end of July as he is disabled. He is very wary of being out and about let alone eating out, however, the pub/restaurant is very well organised with hand gel readily available. Tables have been removed so you can observe social distancing with no problems. The staff who served us were Shanaiya and Matthew who were lovely and very aware of social distancing regulations and as the pub was not busy when they were not needed to provide table service they were constantly cleaning tables whether they had been used or not. They were friendly and put you at ease and nothing was too much trouble, We had a bit of a laugh with them and to be honest they could not have been nicer, we will certainly return (hope they are on duty again)
