The Garden Coffee Lounge in Kirklees

I looked on the website several times trying to see menu each time it says coming soon !!!! We went got lunch waited where sien says to be seated many staff walked past never acknowledged us till we asked do we just find a table were then taken to one. Two of us had fish and chips not good not hot apart from mushy peas I had bread and butter obviously been out a while as very dry!!! A lady came in large wheelchair if our son had not helped here move table she would have been left sitting in the chair unable to reach hurt table staff just ignored her On paying I asked about duck eggs as shown on web site told no never have any!!! Thought I would get a couple of cakes to take home FIVE staff talking while I stood to be served all ignored me so didn’t bother to get!!! Must be a manager looking for how to improve service think you need a new one and maybe some caring staff also

I usually enjoy my breakfast here However yesterday (Sunday 21 July) I was so disappointed The worst breakfast I’ve had in a long time I ordered poached eggs on toast and a slice of crispy bacon The table was booked at 10am so one of the first diners of the day The bread came cut up and cold The eggs had been pre-cooked in what looked like cling film and re heated They were rubbery, not runny and cold Won’t be having that again Can’t believe at a game that are one of the main egg farms in the area that they can’t cook eggs or freshly poached ones

We enjoyed or visit and the food is very good. One problem. My scampi and chips were on the cool side and not hot food. The staff are second to none and we loved feeding the pygmy goats. The shop is excellent and reasonable price.

Popped in for a ice cream and a drink with dogs, outside area is dog friendly, food is always lovely, staff are friendly, keep up the good work!

Another wonderful lunch. Booked in advance to be sure we had disabled access. Warm friendly staff, again nothing was too much trouble. Food amazing and exceptional value for money.

Hugely disappointing when not able to get simple food right - eggs royale was cold, eggs left to stand for ages, mushrooms on full breakfast insipid, toast brought out cold like it had been done so far in advance. Could be great but need to focus on ensuring food that comes out is hot, which shouldn’t be difficult to do

Visited Sunday for lunch with friends. Food was lovely as always and Philip as fabulous as always. Thank you Philip for looking after us so well.

Three adults visited today. We arrived before our reservation time, as the weather wasn’t very good we asked if we could be seated early. We each had a main (brisket sandwich, fish & chips, beef stew and dumplings) and they were excellent. The large portion of stew is huge! We also had desserts from the cabinet (mini egg cheesecake, Mille-feuille and raspberry and lemon meringue pie), which were also amazing. These meals, along with three soft drinks, a tea and a latte came to exactly £69. Great value.

Absolutely outstanding service and food, 1st time we’ve been here and will be coming back again well done guys 👍 the place was busy but obviously I’ll will be with food like that

This is an excellent café which serves very good food. The portion sizes are 'large' and the service is first class, typical Yorkshire hospitality. You do need to book as it gets very busy, always a good sign. There is a great selection of food all day so you are bound to find something that suits, especially good or breakfast, but try the Beef Brisket sandwich - superb.

Had such a lovely meal here for lunch with my friend - it’s had a refurb since the last time I visited and it has been improved so much! The car park was rammed when we arrived and we got the last space, so I’m really glad we booked. Really tasty food - I had the Yorkshire Rarebit and my friend the bubble and squeak, and they were both fabulous with generous portions. Id definitely go back as I want to try the bubble and squeak too as that looked lovely!

First experience and it certainly won't be my last. Was with friends and we had Christmas lunch. Wonderful food, beautifully cooked. I had the small lunch and I couldn't finish it all, so goodness knows what the large was. All other food looked enormous portions, beautifully done. Philip, looked after us very well, making sure we had everything we needed. It is busy so book, but it is so worth a visit,, or two, or three!!Wonderful foid

Food was very good but I am concerned that the majority of eggs may come from battery hens . I have contacted the coffee lounge to see if this is the case, but have received no reply. Most of the eggs for sale in the shop do not say they are free range. Therefore Iwill not be visiting again.

I visited here for brunch on Monday the 2nd of October and was digusted and saddened at how the animals are kept. These animals are living in small crammed conditions and exhibiting bad welfare. One of the ostriches housed was repeatedly biting the caged fence, there were 12 goats crammed into a small scratty enclosure, no fresh hay or water. Breeds of llamas and goats were mixed, not to mention one goat in a pen by itself showing clear deteriorating health. One of the horses had yellow puss coming from its eye. I was seriously disturbed after coming here! whoever is in charge of those animals, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Visited here on Saturday for brunch with my friends. It was busy but the staff were still speedy and pleasant. My food and drink (eggs Benedict and a cappuccino) were delicious and all my dining companions said the same about their choices. When the bill came it wasn't hideous; no-one wants to be shocked at breakfast! The cafe is cheerily beach themed and has a cute shop selling farm produce and sweet bits and bats. All in all I loved it here, I recommend it (make sure you book, but that's easy to do online) and I will visit again.

Found this place by chance and it was an excellent find. The animal farm was a great addition for the kids. I got a takeaway sandwich from the cafe and the service was fantastic. So quick but the sandwich was excellent and made fresh to order. Also got some ice cream and cheesecakes and all were amazing. Would love to come back to try the breakfast

Portions and pricing is absolutely spot on in my opinion, especially when you compare this quality to the likes of many city centre restaurants. Brought a very high standards Grandma with me and she absolutely loved the service and the food! The server was so happy and had such a good vibe going. I will say the food and service never disappoints (and you can tell how its always packed!). Definitely recommend booking online in advance just so you're guaranteed a spot. The beef brisket burger is beautiful and the fish and chips were a win in Grandmas books!

Absolutely lovely brunch. Impressed with everything. Very smart staff. A couple of points to be considered - when I booked I said it was for my 60th birthday. No one mentioned this. Just a 'Happy Birthday' by at least one of the team would be good. Perhaps at the next team meeting this could be discussed? Food was excellent. Are plastic pots of jam and bits of butter best? Small crockery pots would be so much better.

Bennetts is excellent for breakfast and lunches. Very good quality food in a nice clean cafe / restaurant. The staff are very, very good both friendly and efficient and really make your visit and experience with qaulity food. Been several times and all good and will be coming back. Advise booking, especially on weekends as it gets very busy. Good parking area and you can buy eggs etc to take away from the shop area.

After popping in for lunch with my in-laws a month or two ago, they declared it the nicest food they had eaten for a while and swiftly booked to have lunch there for my father-in-law's 80th birthday. They were really accommodating about our request to put us in a quieter corner and looking after the birthday cake and balloons we brought the morning of our booking. From start to finish when we arrived for the meal itself, we were looked after by friendly, cheerful and funny staff, with nothing too much trouble - including taking photos to help us capture the occasion. Our cake was lit and walked in by a team of servers without us having to do any prompting. It was great to be so well looked after and provided with great food - the ploughman's were big enough to be sharing plates, the sticky toffee pudding was too good to be shared! Yes it's busy, so there is a bit of noise and a slight delay to food but it's a pleasure to be there and we'll all be back.

I had lunch here and ordered the LARGE fish and chips although nice and tasty it certainly was not large! the chips were dry and seemed like frozen chips.for £13.95 I expected a lot better ☹️ on the plus side the staff were really nice and friendly and service was good.

Bennetts is great & visited before.staff & food fabulous but dont go with a dog.although they have lovely outside patio youre not allowed to sit there with a dog & are asked to sit on picnic tables on grassy area at the side of a small animal area. This is worst place to sit with a dog as they are stressed with proximity of goats,hens etc. We had to sit with our dog on our knees which made it very awkward to eat lunch. In this day and age when more establishments are becoming dog friendly it seems very out of date.

This was our first visit to Bennett’s. It was an absolute pleasure. Very friendly service, lovely relaxed atmosphere and the food was superb. I would rate the food as akin to a 5 star restaurant. The portions were very generous too. All the staff were...

Nice place but noticed prices have gone way up recently since last visit and its more pub prices now, not cafe prices. Almost £30 for 2 lunches with drinks. Disappointing. Also there is no menu online, searched for it multiple times

We went here for breakfast on Saturday morning and sat outside on the lovely terrace area. Breakfast was very good and the service extremely efficient considering how busy they were. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The newly refurbished cafe and shop are delightful.

Visited this venue sunday morning for breakfast, almost 30 minute waiting for food, when the breakfast arrived it was average and by this time my tea was completely cold,slow service average food and a little overpriced, will not be returning to this venue.

Called on the off chance we could get a table, seated immediately and the place has changed since I was last in. Been extended and it looks great. Just had coffee and cake and service was good and the cake was fab.

I have been twice during lockdown it’s fantastic, amazing food great experience, good choice menu would def recommend

What a find - really lovely place for breakfast. Staff were attentive and smart. Hygiene was excellent. Food was really nice and they do a half full breakfast. I had the healthiest option - eggs with avocado spinach and tomatoes which was delicious. They have a lovely shop where we bought a crate of fresh eggs too. 10/10

Had lunch with a friend felt very safe, all tables cleaned in between customers. All staff wearing visors. Food was delightful only wanted a small potion as was going out again same evening. Had the flat bread was lush. So good going back Friday with another friend

Having not been able to locate any clear dog policy on the website, we rang ahead to ask if we could book a table for breakfast. We advised there was 2 people and a dog. The lady said it was fine but that we would have to sit outside (no problem for us). As the weather didn’t look like it was going to hold out we asked if there was anything outside undercover just in case. The lady said yes there was some tables with canopies.On arrival we advised we had a table booked outside to which the lady said it’s on the grass bench outside and that we had to walk outside to it as we weren’t allowed to walk through the restaurant. Again odd but ok with that. Having located a bench seat (with rain water on it I add) we sat down and noticed several tables free on the terrace (under cover/umbrellas) out of the way of other people (understand not everyone loves dogs). As the heavens we’re about to open we asked please can we move to one of those tables to avoid getting drenched. The answer was no. This was because we were not allowed to walk through the restaurant with our small well behaved dog to get to the outside door. Ludicrous. Our only other ‘option’ was the ‘dog dining area’. Something I can only describe as a cubby hole in the car park which I assume was either meant to be the bin store or the smoking area. Not a pleasant area to eat your lunch just because you choose to bring your dog out with you. Having declined this offer and with the only option to sit at our original table getting drenched, we politely declined and decided to go to the red brick mill where they welcome dogs with open arms.Not normally one to complain about such matters as I understand not all establishments are ‘dog friendly’ however with no clear policy visible on the website, the fact the lady said we COULD sit under cover on the terrace when we rang up I felt like as a dog owner I was treated as leper for wanting to bring our dog to eat with us. I can’t comment on the food quality as we didn’t get chance, however this review serves as a warning to other dogs owners unless the day is sunny and dry do not go here.

Visited after the revamp of the cafe, we were all very impressed. This was my friends first visit and they will be returning. The service was excellent, food delicious, with good social distancing. One of my favourite places to go.

I have been a few times now with living locally and first couple of times it was faultless. The cafe is lovely surroundings modern and clean. Visited a couple of weeks ago and it was busy but our order was wrong and then the food they brought for all three of us wasn’t that warm. Staff are nice and friendly just think they were struggling to cope with all the orders. Might just have been a bad day

We have just come back from having a delicious lunch at Bennett's. The new menu is really good and has something for everyone.We all felt really safe and the staff were very attentive and safety conscious.We will be back very soon and hope they get the custom they deserve.Well done.

Lovely choice of menu nice and friendly staff and service it is really nice place to bring the grandchildren to see the animals and have a ice cream.

This is a lovely local cafe serving a good range of breakfast, lunch and snacks with local sourced produce. Friendly staff, comfortable setting. A little gem!

Visited the cafe for lunch on a wet Sunday in October with the family (4 adults, 2 kids). This place is Yorkshire. Friendly, warm, excellent value for money, no frills Yorkshire.Southern softies beware.

Visited with my wife for breakfast. The cafe was busy but after a short wait we were seated and ordering from a fairly extensive breakfast menu. I had the full English breakfast and a pot of breakfast tea. My wife opted for Eggs Royale and coffee. The wait wasn’t long before our meals arrived . The food was very good, hot and well presented. Very pleasant staff served us. Thoroughly recommend this place for breakfast, lunch or for coffee and cakes.

This is the best breakfast. Locally sourced products all freshly cooked to perfection. It’s currently been extended so looking forward to the bigger area. Staff are very friendly and polite. Best to book tho because it fills up quick. Opens at 10am

Another of TripAdvisor's hidden little gems. Much bigger( another Tardis? ) inside than expected and noisy ( solve that problem for top marks). Interesting menu and it must be on the mums who lunch circuit, only male eating with my wife. She enjoyed her brilliant crispy bacon sarni, as requested and pot of tea. I indulged in the " plated " full house omelette with side of big chips, and help yourself salad bowl. Another day chips will be out in the hope to try interesting sweet display. Mega size high quality coffee. Trying to fix a visit soon for breakfast. Staff friendly , caring,and helpful.

Visited Monday lunchtime with my sister-in-law who had been before and it was very busy. She had told me how good it was and she wasn't wrong! They are popular for their breakfasts which sound wonderful. The cafe is not very big but is pleasant, light and airy and is furnished well and the staff are friendly and attentive. We ordered coffees whilst we studied the menu and they arrived quickly. The menu is not extensive but there was enough choice for us. I went for the pate which came with chunky, salted bread which was delicious, a chutney and small side salad. The pate was plentiful and also delicious. My sister-in-law ordered the omelette that came with a bowl in order for her to help herself to the salad bar. The omelette was too big for her to finish but very tasty and she liked the salad bar although she felt there were too many mixed salads and also too many with mayonnaise which isn't conducive with a diet. She would have preferred to have chosen individual items that she liked. We had another coffee and felt that the bill which came to just over £20 was reasonable. Will definitely return and highly recommend!

Good little cafe for all the family. Great in summer and nice in winter too. Has goats and birds etc. Would definitely recommend a visit.

I visited the cafe with my daughter and granddaughter recently. How very disappointing the place is.The parking area is appalling and filthy.The animals were grubby and only 2 or 3 to see.The cafe was busy and the 4 remaining tables were reserved.Not child friendly at all, no highchairs, in the 21st century that is ridiculous.Needless to say we left, no apologies, no goodbye or thank you anyway.We will not be going back.

This is probably the nearest cafe to where we live but we do not go as often as we like as it is so popular. Went today as Villa Farm at Bradley was full and caught just as it opened so getting in was not the problem that it usually is. It was, and still is, an egg producer and so not a big surprise that there eggs are so fresh and well prepared. Between the three of us two went for poached eggs on toast (absolutely excellent) and one went for the full breakfast. Slight negative of tinned rather than fresh tomatoes but otherwise delicious. So my only drawback that it difficult to get in, not a bad complaint! Absolutely recommend a stroll around the gardens looking at the animals (Rheas, bunnies, llamas, goats, pigs, birds etc)

Well we were wondering where to go yesterday (Monday 17/12/2018) afternoon for a coffee and perhaps a snack when we decided this would be a good place to go.

We went at lunch time, without booking, was fairly busy but we got a table, ordered pretty quickly and got drinks very soon after, food arrived just after, 2 out of 3 were correct however I took mine back as was incorrect, no apology, just bit of eye rolling, 2-3 mins later my correct dish was plonked in front of me, no apology still, on the plus side food was ok, service quick but we all make mistakes and a little bit of communication goes a long way

A pleasant,friendly cafe offering a range of options from breakfast through lunch and afternoon tea. Dishes featuring the lovely fresh eggs from the adjoining farm are a speciality and the eggs Benedict have to be experienced!

We love this place. We spend lots of weekends eating here and know the staff well. The food is beautiful and reasonably priced. We always take our son to see the farm animals after.

Great restaurant for breakfast lunch and Afternoon tea etc parking can be difficult at peak times but you can always find room close to the restaurant

My daughter took me here as a late Father’s Day treat. The restaurant is a little gem of a place and also very family friendly ( there are lots of animals for the children to look at)

Came across this place by chance whilst walking past.

This is a lovely cafe with a good lunchtime selection. The breakfast menu also looked great. They do jacket potatoes, salads with a salad bar, sandwiches etc. We were lucky to get a table. We arrived just at the change over time between breakfast and lunch (11.45) and were offered the choice of either. We opted for lunch and weren't disappointed. The jacket potatoes were light and fluffy and served with a good sized portion of fillings. There is also an outdoor seating area and a little petting area with birds and goats and grass for children to play on. You can buy eggs from the little shop there too. We will definitely be back to sample the breakfast menu!

Called with my wife and daughter for brunch, my wife has been before with her friend and likes this place.

Recommended by a friend of the wife's. Thought we'd give it a try for coffee and cake with the daughters. Good coffee, tasty, sizeable pieces of cake, will have to try a meal sometime, but would recommend based on this experience.

After a long, cold cycle ride we stopped at the Garden Coffee Lounge.

This is a lovely coffee shop serving some excellent food at reasonable prices.

I was here with my uni friends the other day and I can't believe I haven't been before! It's so close to my house and it's ideal for breakfast or lunch. In the snow, the location was really beautiful. Food wise I had scrambled eggs and salmon and a black coffee. It amounted to less than £10 which is just ideal for Sunday brunch. I'll be back soon!

Lovely place to have lunch and nice outside seating area in summer, it also has a animals for the kids to look ar

We have visited this establishment several times. It’s a lovely place to eat. Their menu is quite extensive, catering for a genera of taste. Four of us go, a meeting of retired workers. There is a small petting area for children and adults. The food is very good, using their free range eggs for the omelettes. It gets very busy so, it’s advisable to book a table. The salad bar means you can fill your dish as often as you like. There is a little wait for your food, as it is freshly prepared. The waitresses and waiter are always pleasant, no mean thing when you are busy. Well worth a visit, we will be back. Xx

Called in yesterday late afternoon with a friend . We sat down just after 4 pm and the waitress came to take our order . My friend ordered the pork pie and peas and I asked for a Jacket potato with tuna . The waitress shouted into the kitchen to ask if there were any potatoes left but there wasn’t any . I was looking for something healthy so ended up opting for he homemade tomato and basil soup . The cook them came out of the kitchen came over and leant on our table looking all hot and sweaty saying “ you do know we finish serving food at 4 pm ?? It’s ten past ... to the waitress . We got in just before 4 but it took ages due to not having food we wanted left . The waitress told her we were only having pie and peas and soup to which the chef replied with “ oh right ok I can do that I just heard you mentioning omelettes that’s why I came out ! “ off she went into the kitchen .

The Garden Coffee Lounge was recommended to me by Medissa Shoes, also based in Liversedge. It is a lovely, clean place to eat with delicious food, all at reasonable prices. Service was quick and efficient from the start of the meal to the end. Lovely setting. No wonder it was really busy. Would thoroughly recommend eating here . A hidden gem!

Visited here for lunch on a Thursday. It was nearly full of 'ladies who lunch'. I would suggest a party...

Food has always been nice here and the grand kids love seeing the animals. Quick service and the waitresses were...

I love this place but the service is slow and seem to sit and wait for a long time before getting served or your food being brought out.

Me and my friends are here nearly every week, the staff are very friendly and the food is great. Excellent. ☺️

Me tome mi madre aquí regularmente como ella es discapacitada y debemos ser capaces de conseguir que sus ruedas fácilmente. Hay una amplia variedad de sándwiches, ensaladas, patatas de almuerzo, además de sopa campera, un gran bar de ensalada fresca y varios pasteles deliciosos para elegir. Especialmente atractiva para familias con niños pequeños que pueden acercarse a las gallinas de la granja, cabras y otros animales pequeños, en los jardines. También puedes comprar cajas de gran valor, huevos producidos por la granja, antes de salir!

Been many times and never been disappointed very good value and great meals the small farm animals are great ffor the children too

This In the coffee shop is a lovely place which has a small petting zoo and a little area for the kids to run around my granddaughter loves it there ice cream is delicious

Four of us went on the 18/ May for lunch. I would advise anyone going to eat here to book a table, as it gets very busy. We all had a different first course. I had a cheese, mushroom omelette, one had a workers omelette which had loads of stuff on, smoked salmon with poached eggs, cheese omelette. The salad bar was excellent and you could revisit as many times as you liked. All the hot food was excellent, well presented and served with lovely smiles from the girls. I opted for a chocolate ice cream cornet, one of the party had coffee cake(huge slice), another had an Eccles cake. The food is of a high standard, cooked fresh when ordered. Service is most definitely done with a smile. It's an excellent cafe. Now the car parking has extended it is much better. There's loads for kiddies to see. Goats are so funny. The mint milkshake was wonderful and very moorish. I would definitely recommend this cafe but, don't forget to book to avoid disappointment as it gets very busy around lunchtime. We will be back!!

It was a lot busier than I thought it would be on a Wednesday lunch time, so if you want to go, please ring ahead and book your table to avoid disappointment. The sandwiches all looked lovely, but as I have coeliacs I ordered the jacket potato. It was small (about the size of my fist, and I have small hands!) and was microwaved and only luke warm. The kids meals are also very small, we ordered sausage and "potato shape" which was exactly that - one sausage (which was burnt at the ends) and one potato waffle. The kids fish fingers was as stingy with 2 small, charred fish fingers. The staff were pleasant enough, but made out that they were very busy and we couldn't catch anyone to let them know how disappointed we were with the food. The farm attached was nice and you are able to stroll around with kids, looking at the animals.

This is located at Bennetts Egg's, Clough Lane. This is a good cafe with nice food, it has a nice, good quality feel. The food is good quality with a decent selection. There's a small kids menu of the standard choices (fish fingers, chicken nuggets, sandwiches...)There is some lovely ice cream (from Charlottes ice cream)Prosecco, wine and beer are available too!Outdoors there is a small animal area, I wouldn't call it a petting zoo as the animals are mostly out of reach but it is entertaining for little children. It may not hold the attention of older children (4+) for long.It definitely feels like a place for 'ladies who lunch' and 'the maternity brigade'Overall - I would probably go here for the cafe lunch with young children but if you want to entertain the children for a few hours with animals then I would recommend 'Ponderosa' (10 minutes away)

We have visited here a few times, returning to try the different options.The restaurant isn't really a cafe, more of a mini-restaurant. It is situated on a farm, though this shouldn't put you off. There can sometimes be a queue so if it's a busy time, such as a bank holiday, it may be wise to book. There is additional seating outside but this would only be used in the summer I would imagine. There is ample parking outside.The restaurant itself is exceptionally clean and well presented. The staff, whilst maybe on the younger side, are very pleasant and helpful. The food is of good quality, some of it being sourced locally on the farm and lots of it being sourced in the local area. Food costs are a little high, but probably on par with the service.The general atmosphere is relaxed and the overall experience is very pleasant.There is also a small collection of animals in situ just outside the restaurant which creates an interesting diversion on meal end for the children.Meal cost for a family of 5 covering 2 adults and three children is around £35 and the time taken is about 1 hour.

Visited this coffee lounge on Monday with my grandchildren and elderly mother. The menu offered a very good choice and after our lunch we finished off with ice creams for the children and butterscotch cake for the adults. The cake was delicious. The coffee lounge was buzzing with people and there was a queue for tables. The staff were polite and kept very busy and it is obviously an extremely popular place so I would recommend getting in early. Outside there are animals such as goats, hens, peacocks etc and this kept the children amused for some time. We will definitely be returning again.

I was invited to lunch by a friend - we both live locally but I didn't know this place existed! Good choice of food - I had omelette and salad which was delicious. Good value for money. The place was full when we called in but we didn't feel squashed in and was not too noisy. Very friendly helpful staff. I would definitely visit again.
