The Corner in Kirklees

Held my 50th birthday party in the function room there (May 2019). Was well looked after in the planning and organising. Dietary requirements of guests were very well dealt with, dedicated bar staff - nothing was too much hassle. The food was well liked by all who attended and was good value for money.

My baby shower was held here on Sunday 1st March, we had the entire upstairs to ourselves along with a bar. My friends were able to go in early to set up and prep everything before the event started, they didn't charge to hire the room which was ideal and we paid for food for both adults and kids. They gave us access to a bar and had a waitress bring the food up, we opted for a 10 item buffet at £12 per head. The food was nice, although we had to pay £6 each extra for the kids although we were quoted kids can eat free, considering they don't eat a lot anyway, £6 per head is pricy as they just had a small piece of sandwich and there wasn't any difference between the food they were served juice as an extra, we were all served the same food which if they are paying extra I might have expected a separate menu to theirs. If we were being picky, they brought up a slow cooker which had the ingredients baked to the side of the pan and was super greasy/oily, there was plenty to go around but it was dripping onto the floor, we cleaned this up, the tuna sandwiches didn't have a lot of filling. For the price especially, as we picked the most expensive option I thought there might have been a little more, but never the less the food was good and we were able to take the leftovers home. The bar seemed to close quickly which left guests having to go downstairs for drinks, again not an issue but might be worth mentioning so we are aware. I did enjoy it and my guests enjoyed it too! The only reason I didn't give 5 * was based on the reasons above, would I visit again, yes 100% would I host another event, yes 100% I just think a couple of things can be improved Thank you!

First time visiting and probably be last. Place was clean but apart from that nothing special. There was 5 of us and we asked for food to be told only sandwich’s were available which was a disappointment then we decided to stay for just a drink and get food elsewhere and may as well just left as the drinks took ages to turn up and didn’t think it was good that the girl behind the bar was on her phone

On any visit to Huddersfield this is a must visit pub where you can enjoy superbly well-kept real ales and ciders but also a good selection of craft ales. This bar is not just about beers as there is a great selection of other spirits and wines with some very good gins. The bar has gained an excellent reputation for its excellent selection of fresh food cooked daily with a wide range which also caters for vegetarians and vegans. Some of the stews and casseroles created are a blend of the homely and exotic and I would recommend signing up to their facebook page to be kept up to date with the menu changes. There is also a good selection of sandwiches and a fresh soup every day and they have just started a Sunday carvery which is exceptional value. The bar acts as a brewery tap for Mallinsons to showcase their excellent beers but there are always good and unusual guest beers and a good bottle selection. The best part is the welcome you recieve at this pub as it is always warm and friendly and this comes from the Manager/Landlady Sam, who is renowned for the quality of the pubs and bars she has run. Don't miss this hidden away treat on a trip to Huddersfield , however it can be a bit busy on a Saturday if Huddersfield Town are at home !

An excellent place to dine out, or just simply have a nice pint of beer, or a glass of wine. The staff and management team are always so welcoming, and can't do enough for you. If you were to ask anything bad about the place, I couldn't think of anything. The food that Sam put's on is always delicious and full of flavour. The special food nights are also a treat, and the quality of the food is fantastic, and very reasonably priced. In addition in the bar area, you can enjoy food, and take your 4 legged friend along with you, where they too will make friends with other 4 legged friends!

A word of warning, don’t even think about complaining about the food here unless you want a torrent of abuse from the landlady and bar man, to be repeatedly shouted at, when we’d simply asked for a refund as the food was inedible. We ordered two sandwiches and a portion of curly fries which appeared nearly an hour after ordering them (the bar wasn’t busy and very few people were eating). To say the fries and one of the sandwiches were inedible is an understatement but apparently curly fries are meant to be the soggy mess that we were presented with, as, in the land lady’s own words, “they’re curly fries, they haven’t been fried” which was her explanation for the bowl of soggy, mushy mess we were given. The cheese sandwich was also incredibly soggy but apparently all cheese melts are a pile of soggy, indigestible gloop. When we asked for our money back as the food was inedible, we were repeatedly shouted at by both the landlady and the bar man, told that there was no way they would return our money and that other people ate the food without complaining. They were so incredibly rude and unprofessional and I’m still in shock at the way we were spoken to and treated by these people, but this is nothing compared to the vitriolic outpouring and blatant lies the landlady has posted on Facebook, and the aggressive and incredibly demeaning comments her friends have posted about a situation they know nothing about - a very concerned mutual friend notified me of this. My husband and I have been called every name imaginable, told we need kicking down the stairs, threatened to send people round to sort us out and ‘terror’ us. Apparently we do this for a living and they should have taken our photos to shame us...all because we asked for a refund for food that was inedible. I can’t begin to explain how shaken and upset this has left my husband and I.

I go up north two or three times a year, The Corner is always one of the highlights of those trips. Friendly and capable staff, excellent beer and cider, and homemade traditional food that I dream about all year long. The visit will certainly be good for your pocket too! I could not go to Huddersfield without going to The Corner.

So many options here at the corner. Staff walked me through my vegan options with knowledge and were happy to add and remove stuff to certain dishes so you know it’s all home cooked goodness. Beer is spot on, as is their spirit collection. You can tell that the owners care about serving quality drinks. Music set the atmosphere and the plants everywhere are lovely. So much care has gone into this little gem and you can tell. Thanks so much to all the friendly staff that made my time here enjoyable!

The staff could not have been more helpful here and friendly! The food was excellent and came out in good time which is important when you are sat with a hangry husband! a really good atmosphere too. Will definitely be returning!

Love this pub always a friendly welcome from Sam and her team. The food is so varied I have never had the same thing twice and I love the food themed nights. 5 star service every time I visit

What an amazing spot, one of the best pubs in Huddersfield for not only the real ale selection, but also the amazing food! Eaten here so many times and just can’t seem to get enough of the Brisket Sandwiches! Always somewhere I bring friends when they’re up visiting me.

This a hidden diamond,the food is fantastic,locally sourced and perfectly cooked and presented everytime. I am a fussy eater regarding cleanliness, I have no fear eating here 10/10, great staff warm and friendly. Neil

Good night out. Plenty gins and real ales to choose from. Great when there's a live band on will return

I've dropped into this bar on two visits to Huddersfield, as I'm a sucker for a craft ale bar, and this one is set up with some great beers. Both times--late afternoon and fairly empty--I found it a soulless, uncomfortable place to drink in on your own. This is all very subjective, I know, and I'm still going to rate the bar well--all credit to the owners for running this type of place in Huddersfield. But the large, high-ceilinged, brightly lit, pale-painted, square, near-windowless bar room, with its tables set out as in a works canteen or hospital dining room feels to me the opposite of cosy. I'm sure it would be different with more people in, or if I was drinking alongside people less locked into their own thoughts. I suppose you could say the vibe is intentionally cool and modern, but then they were playing George Formby on the sound system, which ground on my nerves--if that's an ironic touch, it didn't work for me. But I'll try again next time I'm in town.

Very friendly, good beer and tasty food! We had a mushroom kebab (vegan) and a chicken kebab. Both came with rice, salad, warm bread and a type of vegan alioli. Delicious and very reasonably priced. Will definitely return ! Thank you!

Love going to The Corner for lunch with my my hubby. We always leave full and very satisfied with our meals. Went again today and wow the fish pie was just delicious. Thank you very much.

Decided to go for lunch dog friendly nice to see pubs are I had the slow cooked brisket with salad absolutely beautiful plenty of it staff are friendly I have been twice one for the American night five course meal bourbon tasting

I'd only ever called in for a quick drink once before and found it so welcoming and friendly.Me and my daughter went yesterday afternoon to sample the food.We were not disappointed.My daughter arrived slightly before me, but felt comfortable enough to wait inside on her own enjoying her Gin.We will definetly return.The brisket was to die for!!!

Visited here three weeks ago on a Saturday afternoon with frinds on a day out from Liverpool. Very impressed with the very helpful , friendly staff, the range of beers and the very good food (not to mention the very friendly Whippet!),

Love this place. Had our wedding reception here last year, always good selection of beers and the food is top notch.

My wife and I use this little known hideaway 2 or 3 times a week. All the staff are likeable and friendly.

Lovely place, amazing food, lots of choice of drinks.

Warm welcome for everyone. Good beers and wines. Good food and service. Dog friendly. What's not to like?!!

We visited this pub to eat with friends.

We had problems finding this as the passageway is not visible from the Market Cross. Once in it is buzzing and with a nice crpss-section of drinkers of all ages. Visited on Saturday night and sat in the first floor bar where the music was loudish but tolerable. Top floor had live music. Great range of local beers and prices fair for a town centre site. Food not on so only drinks reviewable. Beer is well kept (high turnover) and bar staff were efficient and alert to customers. Lively place to drink good beer.

Eventually reached this CAMRA recommended locale and we were not disappointed on a Saturday afternoon. Huge choice of ales both cask and keg. Pretty difficult to locate it must be said. Had some 'nippy' humus and olives.

I never knew this place existed until it was introduced by a friend of mine. The place is hidden away above a health food shop. Its a bit basic, but light, airy and clean. The staff are really friendly and helpful which makes the place a comfortable place to visit. The array of beers ( keg and cask) is amazing, there being about 20 in total! There's also a choice of about 9 ciders and a similar number of gins on offer.

The "Corner" is a real gem in the heart of Huddersfield town Centre, and worth seeking out.

Great staff and great beer. One of Hudders' many hidden gems! Choose from plenty of different kegs or cask ales, all of very high quality, and prices are pretty exceptional compared with some establishments.

A super addition to Huddersfield's drinking scene. Somewhat hidden away but thankfully findable due to some helpful signage, the Corner consists of one main upstairs room with the bar along the back wall.

You have to know where this is - but it's well worth finding, tucked away literally in a corner of a small but centrally located arcade. It is upstairs and loos are also upstairs again but I have to say, unlike other places, the staircases are securely hand railed, well lit and clearly yellow edge marked (a consideration as you get older). The main area is not large, but it is airy and very pleasantly furnished and presented in a contemporary style, you get the distinct feeling that quality thought has gone into everything. There are carefully crafted menus but very reasonably priced, together with a selection of daily changing specials which are oh so tempting. There's hot sandwiches and tapas, we once had a cheeseboard here and it was superb quality - excellent when supping the great range of real ales they have, clearly marked up on the blackboard. There is a lovely looking upstairs function room also. I'm glad personally that this doesn't have a high street frontage as it doesn't attract any riff-raff, noisy, bad language etc - I'm really happy I found it - but I wouldn't have unless it had been introduced to me! This is really a very good place.

A lovely, quirky, clean and spacious venue which has a fantastic drinks selection, good tunes and friendly staff. We didn’t eat but the tapas selection menu was excellent.

Visited before a game. Busy with home supporters but didn’t feel threatening. Good choice of Mallisons beer. Had a beef baguette which had loads of beef for only £5. Bars on two levels, upstairs bar played loud reggae music which was a shame. Definitely worth a visit

I really recommend this stylish bar. Great decor, comfortable, lovely and clean. Lots of excellent beers. Really friendly service. Food looks brilliant too. Will definitely be back.

We usually head here for a couple of pints after the football and the whole group love the place.

I never knew this pub existed. Tucked away in the corner (the clue is in its name!) of Market Street a super pub selling Mallinsons wonderful Huddersfield beers. Lovely clean pub, excellent range of very well priced beers and subtle music. The food menu looked good but unfortunately we had eaten before spotting this place. We will visit soon at eat next time!

Mallinson's brewery tap which has been open just over a year. Huddersfield's CAMRA Winter pub of the season. Food excellent as well. Staff very pleasant and make you very welcome.

Lovely few drinks here, beer is delicious and Jess helped me pick the best ones to try, had a lovely time with lovely staff who were not shy of a conversation to be had. Food smelled lovely so maybe next time I’ll be here for dinner! Thank you Jess and Tim. A new place to stop while I wait for the train!

I love this pub! We're having our wedding reception here and we can not be happier with everything! We love popping in for a pint and the food I've had here is always great! Can't wait for our next visit!

I've visited the corner a few times now, the beers and ciders are great. The staff are friendly and helpful. One evening I decided to try the food and this didn't disappoint either, good Mediterranean flavour. I'll be back again and again.

Heard good things about this place and was not disapointed, 12+ ales on tap and the four I tried were superb. The first floor room I drank in was bright and airy with several tables, there is a second floor with more tables. The food being served looked of good quality, I would have indulged but had missed the cut off time for food. Can't wait to visit again when next in town

Decent micro pub. I like Mallinsons ales. Real and craft ales on offer. A bit modern bar like interior for my tastes but I'd call in again because of the beer quality. We didn't eat there so can't comment on food or menu.

Went here with friends in April as knew that this was the Mallinson's brewery tap and love their beers. Food and ales were excellent and staff were friendly. Couldn't fault it.

We were recently here for a friends wedding reception. Unlike many bars that I have visited, this one has a bright and vibrant feel to it. It is spread over 2 floors but even so there is plenty of space. Upstairs doubles as an events room and has its own corner bar.

Upstairs real ale delight is what I discovered. Brightly lit decor with very friendly and well informed bar staff. Become a member and receive discount on the ale. Tapas available and live music events.

Had my big birthday do at the Corner. Everyone had a great time & said the platters of food were excellent. The drinks kept flowing courtesy of very efficient, friendly staff.

Great to have truly craft and local beers served either tradditional pump or under CO2. Great atmosphere, quirky appearance and right on trend, would definitley recommend this to anyone. The beers were incredibly cheap at around £2.50

Fantastic pint and a half - I'd recommened it to anyone visiting Huddersfield - takes a bit of finding mind. When you do, place is spotless, so clean, and it covers two floors with a bar on each. Didn't eat as already had done, but the menu looked really good and some good recipes - will defo dine here soon.

The food menu is quirky with what you get is tasty and affordable. Only slight down side is the cost of non-alcoholic beers at £3.60 for a a small bottle.

The atmosphere in The Corner has always been relaxed, warm and welcoming. I've never experienced a grumpy member of staff and they're always more than delighted to help. I've never tried the food but would love to try the beef brisket as other reviews make it sound promising. Until fairly recently they had in some amazing ghost chilli pork scratchings and some lovely pickled eggs, neither of which they seem to get in anymore which is a shame, however it's all round a great venue.

We have meant to give The Corner a go for some time and finally did on Sunday Afternoon. I like that its tucked away, down a side street. On first impressions it was light and airy with a friendly atmosphere. There are a good range of Ales and other drinks. We weren't going to eat but the Yorkshire Roll filled with Beef Brisket sounded tasty so we gave it a go. It did not disappoint! I was served a huge Wrap-like flat Yorkshire pudding filled with loads of tasty beef, roast potatoes, a big pot of fab gravy and a pot of Caramelised red onions. All the best bits of a Sunday Roast and for £7, I didn't think it was bad value. The Tapas menu, not served at the weekend, sounds really good so we will definitely come back and give it a go. One slight comment is that the decor/layout does make The Corner feel a little sterile, not somewhere you would probably come for a romantic meal, but that probably wasn't the intention. All-in-all a great addition to the growing, Huddersfield craft Ale/independent pub scene. We will definitely be back soon.

They have a great selection of Mallingsons beers including guest ales, they also serve craft ales. The venue is nice and welcoming. I visit the pub at least twice a week and there real ales are always bob on.

How can you go wrong, £7.50 for three taptas?

I enjoy a lot of Mallinsons ales and love to support the local brewing scene. This was our 2nd visit, both on Saturday nights, and the bar was pretty full but easy enough to get served. Great selection of Mallinsons and guest ales. We didn't eat but the menu looked interesting. My wife likes fruity/sour beers and the barman was very knowledgeable and helpful with a recommendation. Our only complaint, and we thought the same last time, was the bar was far too well lit! it feels like the old days of 'last orders' when all the lights are turned on to persuade people to leave. If the lights were dimmed then the atmosphere would be far better.

real ale selection is brilliant .a very comprehensive range.

We had been recommended to go and have a drink here and I am so glad we did .Good light airy space , clean and even fresh flowers on the tables ! Lovely relaxing feel to the place.Husband sampled the I.P.A black and I tried a half of I.P.A ultra blonde . Next time it will be a pint.! We didn't try the food but the tapas style menu looked good. Definitely going to go back and try the food. Staff were friendly and judging by the amount of people in , it is already becoming a popular place.

After a slightly underwhelming visit to the Wood Street Craft Beer House it was good to come here next and be able to compare and contrast against this recently opened Mallinsons Brewery Tap bar. And of the two, this is how you do a new Craft and Cask Ale bar.

A very pleasant place for either lunch or early evening drink.

I have visited The Corner several times now, and always find it to be friendly and relaxed. The choice of beers is good, and even though I have not eaten here the food always smells and looks nice, and the staff are alwasys friendly and helpful. Dogs are welcome and kids are welcome until 6pm. Worth a visit if youl like your Tap rooms and decent beers.

A group of us visited for a birthday celebration. There's a really nice, warm friendly atmosphere. Dogs are welcome too. Did not try the food but the menu looked good. Will certainly come again.

Nice place, great choice of beers, friendly efficient staff, all good. There's food as well, we had the hot beef brisket sandwich. It was ok, although the beef wasn't hot. No doubt we'll visit again when next in town.
