The Express in Kirklees

I was up in town yesterday (17 October) for a quick lunch break and decided to pop up and get some food. The roosters menu is pretty limited, there was no queue though (about 13:00). I choice chicken wings, halloumi bites and a bottle of water. The cook came and advised me that I may aswell get a chicken meal as its the same price but I'll get some chips ... cool :D Took 6 or 7 minutes ish to get my order, I wasn't bothered about the wait as I was able to sit down and just chill. So the food... WOW Chips first off, were not just deep fried potatos they had a weird crumbly texture to them, crispy and soft inside. It's good to see chips done that bit different. Chicken wings - the seasoning on these may not appeal to everyone as I am sure I could taste the hint of may anchovies, or I had a bbq sauce on mine so it could have been a fish sauce. They were cooked very well, a nice crisp bite and well cook, moist chicken. The BBQ sauce wasn't just some run of the mill heinz bbq it was closer to a sweet and sour style bbq sauce and accompanied the chicken wings perfectly. The Halloumi, were small little fried pieces of halloumi, they may have had some seasoning on but this was subtle and these were very moreish. I also was served a small pot of a kind of chilli/pepper jam. WOW I need a bottle of this!! It was perfect with the chicken, chips, bites just needed more off it! All in all a nice meal, not sure what its like at rush hour but if you find a nice quiet time, food is made to order, staff are friendly and service is A++

On 6/8/24 I was served by a lady named Theresa who was on the till. And let me just say her customer service skills need a lot of work. She scowled her whole time of serving myself and my wife. Just from this one encounter alone I will not be returning which is very disappointing due to the fact it would have been our local garden centre

very overpriced for what we got, tiny bit of salad with no onions for 4 starters, chapatis and naan bread cost extra, food ok, won't be ordering from here again

I ordered a meat feast pizza, granted it wasn't your usual peperoni, ham and salami, it came with doner meat too which I thought would make it interesting. I was presented with a vile mess my dog would turn his nose up at. Something resembling gone off and overcooked mince, and impossible to identify something or other in an artificial red dye. What was left when I scraped the crap off was a doughy undercooked mess with barely any cheese. I can literally feel my guts imploding. Avoid...

I have had some bad curry’s over the years but this was by far the worst, we ordered and paid online, after realising we ordered wrong I phoned them to alter it within 5 mins of ordering, they was extremely rude saying I couldn’t change it, and he then proceeded with a load of abuse to me often using f#cling during the conversation, the curry turned up 10 mins later, the chips where cold and the curry was just awful and not edible at all. Never use again and no wonder they have such bad ratings
