My step-son got married at The Huntsman Inn on 08.08.24. I've been honoured to help couple with the venue decoration, which was very exciting but on the other hand really scary. I wanted to make sure their wedding day was unforgettable and venue decor is a big part of the whole picture. I have to say a huge thanks to Katie - Events Manager for helping me with the whole process. She was absolutely amazing! We prepared most of the decor the night before the wedding, but there were few things to complete on the they of the wedding. As you can imagine, hair appointment, makeup etc got in a way. Katie stepped in, asked me what my vision is, took the rest of the decor and absolutely elevated the function room into a beautiful wedding venue! She came up with such a beautiful ideas , little touches, which made a huge difference! And she went beyond the decor, she helped me fix my hair for the evening and she took pictures of the most beautiful moments for us as well, which is absolutely priceless!! I have to say huge thanks to all staff at The Huntsman Inn, they all put so much effort into what they were doing. Salvatore - General Manager - I met him first, he allowed me to come to see the function room on very short notice, was very accommodating, answered all questions I had and passed me on to lovely Katie. Vicky - the girl who dressed the chairs - she's done marvellous job of it and she did it with a smile on her face 🙂 Cat and Charlotte - girls serving us with breakfast, both very kind and friendly. I loved Charlotte's waist coat, she was looking smart, she was funny, took us pictures as well, set me off for the day! Mike - DJ - he absolutely rocked our world on that dance floor! He read the room and put on the music which got everyone of their seats! I loved the screen with videos in the wall as well! Didn't expect that - it felt like I'm in a club house 😁 Thanks to all staff at the bar, in the kitchen, and lets not forget cleaning staff! They all did their part and made my experience the one to remember and I'm pretty sure all family was having a great time at the wedding. I would definitely recommend The Huntsman Inn as a great venue for the wedding.

Deeply disappointed. One hour wait to receive 7 meals, six of which where totally inedible. Manager apologised and we were not charged for them. A family reunion totally ruined

Really good lunch for four of us. Two menus - one full menu and the other a lunch menu - we opted for the lunch menu which included two or three dishes. Main courses were excellent and so were the puds. Really nice staff - particularly the lady in charge. Couldn't ask for more from a lunch experience.

Had a Sunday lunch, 3 very very small roast potatoes that took some finding, no mash, missing the accompaniments that should have been there ,plenty veg, but for the money..... Don't think we will be in a rush to return. Couldn't fault the service or staff.

The venue is large and full of character, clean and well maintained including bathrooms. Staff were polite,pleasant if a little run off their feet as there catering for 90 guests. Food came in good time however... The pate was full of flavour and a generous serving. The roast beef was really tender, two large slices... As for the veg.. al dente is not raw. The roast potatoes I had to ask what they were as they were so anemic.. I have never seen half a large carrot sliced length ways served on a plate before , this was also hard as was the broccoli. Yorkshire puddings were fabulous! Large, light and crispy. The chocolate brownie was served warm with ice cream, really tasty. Yes I would go again.

Went for a meal on Saturday evening (just before bonfire night) with our dog. Chose the Huntsman because it is "out of the way" and unlikely to be bothered by fireworks. Meal was excellent - well cooked and resonably priced. Very good choice of gluten free options. I chose the GF fish and chips, which was huge. All other meals were excellent also. All staff were attentive and polite. Plenty of other customers with dogs. Could perhaps be an issue for those without dogs? We reserved a table in the dog-friendly bar area. Will definitely come back and would thoroughly recommend to others.

Arrived early and was quickly shown to our table...our waiter took our drinks order then brought a sunday menu .. we ordered the sharer sunday lunch...waiter came back and asked if we.d like pigs in blankets with our lunch and how many we said 2 portions...(i thought they came with our order but hey) Our food arrived quite quickly and i was right pigs in blankets where included so why ask us if we wanted more... Roast potatoes..not roast.. Savoy cabbage warm but raw. Shed loads of pigs in blankets...needing crisping up.. Tastless gravy Under cooked cauliflower in a thin watery cheese sauce..nicely cooked red cabbage and swede and carrot mash... Nice sized yorkshire..kept warm so dried out.everything needed seasoning..lots of shouting loud tables near us...asked for the bill and charged £9 for extra pigs in blanket we didnt need.... Nice place....lots of food but needs a bit care and seasoning to make it better .. regarding our waiter well the extra £9 for food we didnt need was annoying ... oh and please supply serving spoon/ with your food

Enjoyed a one night stay here in our campervan with 4 friends also in their vans . It has a really big level carpark with grass area for big vans and is on a fairly quiet road ,pub opens for breakfasts at 8am. We all had an evening meal in the pub, decent size portions ,tasty food and really good service from the very efficient and knowledgeable waiter ,reading previous negative reviews it sounds like they have struggled to get staff which is pretty much the same as all uk hospitality ,not their fault, but last night they had an excellent team and even though they had a large group event in the function room we weren't neglected and have no complaints .Its a great location for visiting Holmfirth or doing local walks ,we were able to do a lovely walk from there down to Digley Reservoir .We don't have a dog but dogs were welcome . We will definitely be back .

We arrived and there was a friendly buzz around the pub and we looked forward to pleasant Sunday lunch. Fast forward nearly two hours and we were still waiting for our main meal. The service was disorganised and chaotic. With nobody seemingly occupying a role of any authority or expertise. We eventually asked for the bill and left.

Just had a fantastic stop over at the Huntsman. Having walked around Dovestone we arrived at the Huntsman hungry and thirsty. Our room was clean and very comfortable,with a very powerful shower,bliss! We were on the Wine,Dine and Duvet deal,for details,go to their website. We ordered a couple of roast dinners,they were delicious and plentiful. The drink selection was extensive and reasonably priced. All the staff were friendly and helpful,nothing was too much trouble. After a very comfortable night's sleep,we enjoyed a tasty and freshly cooked full English breakfast. This definitely set us up for the day👍🏻. Check out was smooth and efficient. Would definitely recommend the Huntsman,the overall experience is very enjoyable.

We have been to The Huntsman many times for meals, with family, friends and for special celebrations. Sadly and very disappointingly the food served has got much poorer over our last 3 or 4 visits. Prices have increased understandably, but cutting corners on the quality, quantity and presentation of meals is unacceptable. Piling high a roast dinner with a huge Yorkshire pudding balanced on the top, on a far too small a plate does not make the meal look a decent or bigger size, it just spoiled the whole meal experience! It was a fight to actually find the meat, veg and roast potatoes under the ridiculously over sized Yorkshire pudding without spilling half the food onto the table! Bottomless gravy?? We had to ask for it, and nothing asked for throughout the evening arrived in a timely fashion. Busy yes we realise that, but maybe you should actually not book as many people in at the same time if you can't cope with providing a decent service? The turkey was nice but the roast beef was virtually uneatable and even had to ask for a steak knife to cut it! Then to top it off the desserts are outrageously priced for the portion received, which arrived just plonked on a large plate with complete disregard to presentation. I'm sorry to say as this now appears to be the normal standard offered there are plenty of alternatives nearby. On the positive side we have always found all staff polite and friendly, and the place is well kept and clean. What should have been a pleasant evening out, ended up being a very disappointing experience.

Was driving past yesterday (Sunday afternoon) and decided to stop for Sunday lunch. What a mistake. The place was really crowded and in fairness they did provide a table without a reservation, on the basis that we would vacate it within 90 minutes. It then took 15 minutes to take the drinks order and a further 15 minutes for them to arrive! My partner and I both chose a roast lunch. Oddly they arrived almost immediately after ordering, though the meals served were barely warm, suggesting that they are plated well in advance and sitting waiting to be sent out. The Yorkshire pudding was like cardboard and the turkey (which was “processed meat” not carved from the frame) was dry and like rubber. Probably the worst meal I have ever had. As somebody has commented the staff are very inexperienced and are evidently not trained to know what to say when a customer answers no to the routine “was everything all right with your meal” question.

We met before the time our table was booked for and had a drink in the bar which had a lovely roaring fire. The menu had plenty of choice, my husband chose the steak & ale pie. It was served as a slice of pie and the amount of meat in it was huge. Our table was in a corner and the service wasn't brilliant. We had to ask for a wine list, and when the drivers amongst us needed more drinks we had to find a waitress. The bill was very reasonable, so good value for money. We would be happy to visit again.

Visiting relatives and having lived in the area we were really suprised with this place. Made to feel very welcome, decor is good , seating comfy.The food was really good we had between us soup, black pudding on a crumpet and brewery tower burger. It was all excellent and portion size was good. Good selection of beers too.Will definitley go again and can't believe we've been missing out all these years!!

A good, clean hotel, located about twenty minutes outside Huddersfield in Saddleworth Moor. In the middle of winter it can feel very remote and isolated. But with its log fires and efficient central heating it can soon feel very cosy too. It has a very good restaurant serving delicious food. It’s certainly worth staying at if you should find yourself in the area.

My partner chose the Huntsman for a birthday treat. It’s not far for us, but we would travel more, if necessary as this place is lovely. Cosy atmosphere, excellent food and very friendly staff. I know it’s dog friendly as well, so perfect for lunch.

In truth we had given The Huntsman a wide birth of recent, poor food and service on previous visits had left a cold and bad taste, therefore in a crowded market we hadn't returned...

First time visit and would highly recommend. Really warm welcome and great service throughout. The food was excellent with fresh & tasty calamari to start followed by an excellent Steak & Ale pie! A large slice with prime cuts of meat and great homemade shortcrust pastry(no puff pastry here!), chunky chips, mushy peas & gravy. Very nice restaurant with a cosy bar area. Lovely countryside setting. and less than a mile from Digley reservoir where we enjoyed a nice stroll beforehand - what more could you ask for!

Went for lunch yesterday with my husband, he had creamy mushroom starter and I had black pudding poached egg and bacon, main courses we had cheese and onion pie and a huge fishcake, dessert we had chocolate brownie and berry crumble. Everything served quickly, cooked to perfection and delicious. Mid priced lunch menu at £14 each for 3 courses, well worth a visit especially on a cold day as we lunched in front of a roaring log fire, BLISS!!

It is well worth making the effort to visit this warm and welcoming establishment a couple of miles up the hill from Holmfirth on the A635. My friend and I had been for a bracing walk around nearby Dovestones Reservoir so we were seeking warmth and good wholesome food at an affordable price and we were not disappointed. There is an extensive menu and also great value meals so we chose two courses for the bargain price of £12. I had Garlic Mushrooms served on appetising soughdour bread while my friend opted for the chilli tomato soup which he eagerly stated was delicious. For the main course from the choice of six meals we both opted for the Meat & Potato Pie which came with tasty chips and a choice of mushy or garden peas served with deliciously lush, thick gravy which was happily replenished by the charming waitress. I am so glad we had undertaken that bracing walk beforehand to do the brilliant, ample food the justice it deserved and we both left planning our next walk close by so we can have an excuse to visit this iconic establishment again (and again!)

Too few people rush to compliment, as those who wish to complain, this place definitely needs complimenting.

Went for a mid week tea with my friend I was quite surprised at the standard of food for a pub. It was more like fine dining. The tempura prawns were superb and my friend really enjoyed the mussels. It was reasonably priced and everyone was friendly. Would recommend a visit.
