Classic cars & good food enjoyed to country music. The restaurant is well appointed & clean with hard working staff to please all customers. We only had a pot of tea for two mid morning but experienced plates of food passing our table en route to eager hungry people. Nicely presented & ample portions. We were there to look around the cars on display & our timing did not allow for us to be ready for a meal. Next time we will plan for breakfast. Not cheap but looks worth the money. Thank you for an interesting hour.

I love this place. We visit fairly regularly and have only ever had positive experiences. The food is great. The staff are friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is good and there is loads to look at. You can even buy yourself a classic car on the way out.

Called in here on a busy Sunday lunch time with a cheeky "any chance of a table?" even though we did not have a reservation.The young lady greeting guests was very polite and friendly telling us we could be accommodated but they would need the table free in an hour as they had a booking for it, fair enough.I ordered a steak sandwich and my partner a fish finger butty. Both arrived promptly, beautifully presented and with the most delicious chunky chips.The steak was tender and well cooked, the recipe has changed since my last visit and rather than being served with gravy its now in a Stilton sauce, a worthwhile improvement.Bill was under £30 and as promised we vacated the table in a timely manner.My many thanks to the lady for fitting us in and all the rest of the staff for such a great experience.

Recommended to us from friends. We decided to pay a visit as Holmfirth is one of our favourite places to visit. Proper working garage on classic cars as well as a cafe. There are a few classic cars on show as well as old style bikes. Cafe was decorated in vintage style with so many bikes on the ceiling. Lots to look at. Staff very friendly and dressed in Rockabilly dresses which I absolutely loved! Food was good. Lots of lovely home made cakes on offer as well. Prices reasonably priced. I was looking forward to visiting the vintage clothes shop on site but unfortunately due to covid they were forced to shut. Definitely a place to visit if your in the area. Was abit hard to find at first as it's in a mill tucked out of the way.

We visited here whilst staying at Holmfirth, it was recommended by a friend. We googled directions and found it easily. Plenty of car parking places. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Lots of old vintage cars and motorcycles. The only downside was cafe was fully booked and could not accommodate us which was disappointing. However it was still worth the visit.

After visiting the Carding Shed for the first time this afternoon as a family of 3 I felt compelled to write a review. We booked online, which was easy to do and were very impressed with the both the service and food that we received. Upon arrival we were greeted by a very friendly lady, called Anna, who made sure we had a highchair for our little one and was really lovely with her too. She advised us that as we had booked for 3pm we only had a minute to get an order in for hot food as it finishes at 3pm, luckily my husband had already looked at the menu online and so knew what he wanted and our order was taken promptly. The food was really nice and there was plenty of it, my husband said that the steak in the hot steak baguette was cooked to perfection! I had a lovely piece of Rolo cake, which was a decent size and clearly nice and fresh and I would also recommend the milkshakes. The Carding Shed is quirky and unique with some really interesting memorabilia to look at while you're there and I would recommend going if you haven't been before. We'll definitely be back. I also have to say that Anna made our visit really enjoyable with her friendly and professional service, she is a credit to the business I'm sure!

Decided to treat my little boy and myself for lunch, went on a random drive and found ourselves here, having not visited for almost 2 years, it was a joy to turn up and have lunch.I didn't book and just turned up hoping to have lunch, I did expect to have to wait for a table due to not booking in advance, but I didn't have to wait they found us a table and gave us a choice of menus to look through.The staff were welcoming and nothing was too much trouble, I spent ages deciding what to have but in the end picked something yummy, too many choices leaves me taking ages to decide!Didn't have to wait long at all and I had tea in a proper cup with a tea pot!, It's the little things that make such a difference.Lovely experience and a visit everyone should make, lovely food, good choice of hot and cold drinks and the cakes look out of this world, I was too full to even think about cake but next time I think I will just have a slab of cake!

Went here for breakfast, we were regular visitors before the move so thought we would give the new location a try. The food is good, excellent friendly service and sensible pricing. The added attraction of being allowed to view some wonderful vintage motor cars and motorbikes is another reason to go. The location is a bit off the beaten track but worth the drive or walk.

We were greeted and made to feel welcome. A truly different experience dating back to the 1940s which is reflected in the menu, the dress of the staff, the decoration along with old cars and memorabilia. They have a varied menu. Our only issue is that we had to wait 50 minutes for our main course. There is a display of cars from the era along with a period clothing shop and a stall of nick knacks.

We came here for breakfast the place is quirky but a little cold but it didn't really take anything away from our good experience.The menu for breakfast is good but initial thoughts were on a large breakfast you should have at least 2 bacon or sausage and mushrooms as some don't like black pudding so 3 of us had the small and 1the mechanics so we could mix and match the quality of the produce is great I don't like sausage but eat a full one so keep up the good work with that .Staff very friendly and efficient a must to visit.

We chose savoury...wow...was amazing. Plentiful in quantity, great quality food. I have to say the sausage roll was the most delicious I have ever eaten. Teapot refilled at no additional cost. Just great, don’t hesitate to visit but probably worth booking a table at weekends.

We visited as a party of 6 over Sunday lunch time. There is a very large seating area which was extremely busy when we arrived. We were advised that there would be about an hour to wait. We decided to wait and spent a pleasant 30 minutes or so wandering around the garage looking at the vintage cars and other exhibits. The table was ready before the predicted hour, but due to the restaurant being so busy we had to wait another 30 minutes to 45 minutes for the food to be delivered.

Food and service used to be excellent. Quality and size of meals has become poor. Our favourite, seafood platter got smaller and smaller and has now been taken off the menu with no explanation. Today’s fish and chip lunch was very poor and the service was very slow - we waited nearly an hour. The chips were greasy and soggy. The fish was very small and the mushy peas no more than a table spoon. The meal was only lukewarm. What has happened?

We treid to find this place when it was the Oil Can cafe in Honley but never could. As we were in the area again we decided to have another try. We used the satnav and then found some direction signs. We parked in the lower car park and walked up the hill after the rain had stopped. You have to wait to be seated and then given a menu. As we were having a dinner later on we ordered pie and peas which were delicious. There were lots of things on the menu we would have chosen otherwise but didn't want to get too full. Lovely to see the waitresses all dressed alike in rock and roll dresses. We went for a look round the cars and the rest of the building afterwards and the place will be worth a return visit.

We chatted for about an hour and whilst west there we noticed hot food being served. Granted it was for customers who were seated when we arrived, so some had had nearly a one hour wait for food. So we left confused as to why we couldn't order food when quite clearly the kitchen was open, it's just busy. Shame we have had some lovely food there but wont risk going there again for fear of not getting the luck Chris we wanted.

What a hidden gem this place is. I absolutely loved the 1940s theme, taking my little boy and showing him the old bikes and dinky cars. The food was lovely. We got 3 breakfasts and it wasnt swimming in grease. Loved that I had tea in a proper teapot with teacup n saucer. My boy was amazed at the sugar lumps. Little things made a massive difference. Toilets were clean. The memorabilia was lovely. Again my boy was fascinated. Only downside was (would have been a 5 star if this hadn't have happened) we ordered two cakes to take out. One choc and on coconut sponge. The person who boxed these put BOTH in same box so the coconut went all over the choc, my little boy wouldn't eat his cake be cause of this, that was a waste of £4, would have been better if cakes were packed separately, again it's the little things that count)

Since moving premises this eatery has gone downhill both with service and quality of food. Diners used to be seated by staff but this has now changed to finding your own seat. This is fine on a normal day but when it’s busy it becomes a free for all where diners have to hover around tables where people appear to be finishing. Or you can run the risk of waiting on the very inadequate 2 seater sofa and having people ‘jumping the queue’ by just walking in at the right time and nabbing the next table.

Met up with friends to look round the car museum. Firstly, we had a pit stop in the Cafe and there were beautiful home made cakes to have with a tea or coffee. The staff were beautifully attired in vintage dresses. There were lots of interesting memorabilia to look at before leaving the cafe. As you go through into the garage where the cars are there is a Vintage Dress shop selling brand new clothes, shoes and jewelry for men and women. Fantastic to see such feminine styles of that era together with present day styles. We wandered round the garage looking at the cars and admiring them and reminiscing about a byegone era! Very interesting and worth a visit if you are in the area.

I have not given 5 stars as we had a slight wait for our food and some of the party were a little disappointed in their cakes and coffee.

Called in today after an email saying about a classic car meeting. At just before 12 on a Sunday it was really busy of course. We were pleased to see it busy because we really like the place. But. I know they were really busy but our hot sandwiches took well over half an hour to arrive, and long after my coffee had been finished. By the way - anyone who slices roast beef along the grain rather than across it is showing how little they know about food prep and giving customers a very jaw-tiring sandwich!

Having been to the Old Carding shed a number of times and had a wonderful experience, we went to the new location. What a disappointment. We found that although there were many seats available, they were for big groups and there we very few tables for couples and all were taken. We were told we could share and could have a table on that basis. The staff were frustrated by the lack of tables for two and we were not the only ones waiting for a small table. A family of four came in a sat down as we waited. On speaking with the manager, who was far from helpful but argumentative, we decided to take our custom elsewhere and visited ‘The Potting Shed’ at Silkstone and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast. Such a shame

Regularly go to the oil can cafe and often take friends and family. It’s quirky and fun theme make it great to take friends from out of area as it’s more than just some food and cake. We go often just ourselves as we know we will always get great food, especially when there is so much to choose from even being gluten free. Finding gluten free food and cake is better nowa days however you are limited to usually one or two options and the cake is never homemade or particularly nice. The cake here is absolutely amazing, you wouldn’t even notice and there’s always at least 3 or 4 to choose from.

We visit here regularly and the food/service is always fantastic. My girlfriend is gluten free and this is by far the best place locally that supports this dietary requirement. The shop has a good arrange of items and the cars are a good added bonus.

Visited on a recommendation and wasn't disappointed. Staff were very attentive and helpful, although ordering was a bit slow at times. Food was well prepared and very tasty. I can recommend meat platter, which I shared with wifey. The place has a garage theme, with lots of old cars to look at. Hardest thing is finding it- def need sat nav, but worth the effort.

The Oil Can Cafe has now moved to their new premises which has just as much character as their previous place had. They’ve really put their stamp on the place.

if your in or near Holmfirth in West Yorkshire and fancy a tasty breakfast or lunch, or cake and tea then your in for a treat - if you’re gluten intolerant - no problem, most of the cakes were GF friendly!

We booked afternoon tea for my mums birthday, the food was lovely! But what made it even better was the ladies who looked after us, I think one was called Janet and The other was Anna. Nothing was too much for them and they even bought out the cake I had made with candles on and sang happy birthday to my mum. They made her feel so very special. My daughter had a caramel latte and she said it is one of the best she has ever had! So well done to the staff there. The owners should be proud of having such amazing staff who have exceptional customer service skills.

We enjoyed our visit to the Carding Shed very much. An eclectic mix of vehicles on display and/or for sale will keep your interest for a considerable time. Pedal bikes hang from the roof ranging from antique to modern quirky bikes. There's lots of motoring memorabilia to look at. The workshops are interesting and you can observe vehicle restoration in progress. The staff are very pleasant and informative and they are all happy! Their retro boutique is well worth visiting as well. Next door is the Oil Can Cafe packed with loads of motoring memorabilia including of course oil cans from every era. The food is really good and waitresses smiley, friendly and efficient. Music from way back when is in the background everywhere you go. We spent several hours there and enjoyed every minute.

We had a great time visiting in preparation for our car club visit and found the most enjoyable and interesting also appreciating the great amount of effort in moving from your previous premises and keeping the ambience. The cafe and food selection is superb

Originally a destination for a long shake-down trip after some work on a 40 year old car, and where better? Great atmosphere, staff really friendly, decor superb, lovely displays of older cars and motor-cycles, good fun and very good food indeed. We both had the all-day breakfast, and worth every penny, especially since all the meats and the eggs were obviously very fresh, and the source for all of them on a notice-board in case you wondered. I should imagine that, on a weekend when there are loads of classic car and motorcycle owners there, it must be really special. I have plans with other friends to go back, and am looking forward to it. Great for groups of blokes, couples, families and even a couple of old codgers!

This is the first time I have visited since the Carding Shed has moved to the new address. I must say that the building is much more suited to the Carding shed, it looks amazing, the cafe looks brilliant and the cars and workshops seem much better suited here but my god the views and setting are dreadful, the views from the last place were beautiful, this is my only negative (oh and that you cannot pay on card - which is a bit of a pain, we scrapped together just enough luckily)

We went for a drink and cake. We had visited in the old premises, but wanted too see the new place. The cafe is lovely, great cakes still , the dark hot chocolate was fantastic. We had a walk round the cars , motorbikes, the staff were lovely, and helpful. We plan on going back for afternoon tea, which looked lovely . The chocolate fudge cake, and chocolate brownie, are very nice, makes a change for things to taste of chocolate.

Visited the Carding Shed with my wife after seeing it on the TV show "Car SOS". It looked a unique type of establishment, combining good food, classic cars and vintage clothing sales - quite an eclectic mix, but works well.

A fantastic restaurant serving huge portions of extremely well cooked food. We sat eating breakfast listening to 50's and 60's music on the Juke box. The ladies were dressed in Lindy Bop dresses and the male waiters had shirts with vintage cars on them. We drank out of bone china mugs and cups. My husband had a Mechanics breakfast and I had Eggs Royale. The place is decorated with all things to do with a garage in the 50's and 60's. Old oil cans, car radiators, advertising boards, to name but a few things. Also on display were some Vintage cars. In another part of the building there are Classic cars, a shop selling Vintage clothes. Bric a Brac from that era was also on sale.Definitely a must for anyone with a passion for Vintage cars and a must for the ladies who adore Vintage clothes.

Came to the new place today and unless you're planning to expand I'll never come again . It used to be all about the cars but now with only a few cars on display it's as though the cafe is more important . Everyone used to come for the cars , the cafe was a bonus it's such a shame it's the other way around

A great meal out at the Carding Shed surrounded by antique memorabilia makes this a memorable venue. Good food with generous (yorkshire) portions makes this good value for money as well. The staff were attentive and food arrived quickly,

Visited on a very busy Sunday. They don’t take cards but you can do a bank transfer which is great as my hair cut and shave cost more than I expected. Got the bigger breakfast and a latte. A little bit of a wait for the food but it’s understandable due to how busy they was. Food was good. Exactly as it should be and by the time I had finished, I was ready to fall into a food coma. Would happily go back.

Thought we would try this place out not impressed with the overall experience of food the Sunday dinners beef not great nor the service waiter/staff took telling over 3 times for desserts had to wait over 30 mins for just brownies in the end just had to say cancel it too much time for something that take a couple of minutes to do the next day most of the family had upset stomachs wouldn’t recommend this place unless the service of communication to the cook and food standard is more on point than mediocre presentation we were compensated some money off the desserts but even the brownies are nothing different that shop bought similarities and tight portions to say the least the differences between kids to adults sizes not by much. To say the least and the only major positive was the decor of the overall place well set out looks inviting at least.

We arrived without a booking and after a couple of minutes we were shown to our table and handed menus. Unfortunately after that, we were left around 15-20 minutes and nobody came to take our order. Eventually we got drinks thank goodness but then the food must have been another half an hour before it arrived. My husband and I ordered turkish eggs and it was nice but all 4 eggs (my husband's and mind) were all over cooked. I wouldnt go if you are in a rush to be honest, it took almost an hour and a half from start to finish.
