The Old Bridge Hotel in Kirklees - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I went to the restaurant/pub here. It was not very busy, but the staff we encountered were rather impatient and acting as if the place was packed and they didn't have time to wait for us to make any decisions as to what we were ordering. The food itself was very overpriced. They charged a lot for very small portions of low quality food. It also took a long time for the food to be served. My mother got a cheese sandwich which cost something like 12 pounds and it was literally two pieces of sliced white bread with a tiny bit of butter and some cheese in the middle and a few leaves of rocket on the side. She could have gotten a pre-packaged sandwich from Tesco's for less than 2 pounds and it would have been basically the same thing. Because of this I wouldn't recommend going here to eat.

The Old Bridge Inn is quaint hotel with oak beams, friendly service and fantastic food. Thoroughly recommended!

Location perfect for a visit to the picturedrome. Room was on the small side but all you need to rest your head! Some noise was expected but didn't realise there were bars behind open to early hours, had to shut the windows which made the room so hot even with the fan on all night. Room was clean bar a few window cobwebs. Expensive for what we got but balanced with proximity to event made it OK.

Staff were abrupt. Breakfast was expensive and pretty poor quality...

Popped in for lunch, we had a roast dinner. Was ok, thought the meat was a bit fatty and veg a bit hard, so didn't eat much, desert was lovely, Apple & Raspberry Crumble with Custard & had a lovely Latte` would recommend but I'd choose a different dinner than the roast.

Great central place to explore Holmfirth and surrounding area's. We stayed one night to attend a gig right next door. The room was small but perfectly fine for our needs. Great breakfast the following morning.

Great customer service, lovely setting, excellent breakfast. Manager Ellie is a very hardworking friendly young lady who couldn’t do enough to accommodate our visit. Well done Bridge Inn

Great hotel. Lovely staff. Always friendly and helpful.

Staff and service here extremely good the food was very tasty too be it breakfast or evening meal. The room we stayed in was very clean and the beds are comfortable too the only downside to our visit was the stairs to the top floor but having that said we would stay in that room again with views over Holmfirth and velux windows to let in the cooler air on warm nights. Overall I would say I would give it a score of 9.5 .

We stayed at the old bridge inn doing a last of the summer wine tour the pub/ hotel is absolutely brilliant staff can't do enough for you food was good

Went for lunch here while visiting Holmfirth. We ordered an egg mayo sandwich and a ploughman’s pot. For £8.95 for the sandwich I expected a bit more. The bread was slightly stale, a few sad pieces of rocket as a garnish. The ploughman’s pot wasn’t much better. The cheese was very warm and the pickle tasteless. Pickled onions were nice however. We also waited 40 minutes for our food.

Great food ...warm welcome...great service👍😎

Cracking hotel and staff in a central location for what I wanted. The breakfast was superb, will definitely book here again.

I can honestly say this is a beautiful pub but today the food was very poor they manged total mess up our order for two of the meals and the Yorkshire pudding where cold obviously been made early but so not fresh or any effort to serve them warm, the veg was almost raw as aldente didn't even come close and again not very hot, apple sauce had dill in it not sure who thought of that one but to my tasting and took the apple flavour totally away. Wife ordered pudwhich which is roast meet between two Yorkshire puddings with gravy then severed with skinny fries ?????? Surly roast potatoes who puts fries on a Sunday roast dinner ? Any we won't be venturing back not to our liking or our friends but each to their own

Great central location. Very clean, good food. All staff were excellent but particular praise for the duty manager Heidi who despite it being incredibly busy, found time for everyone and never stopped working , always with a smile. Give that woman a pay raise!

Love the food here, staff always professional and friendly. Great atmosphere lovely to sit outside in the summer and people watch.

Fantastic place to stay. Room was very comfy and clean.

This place is in a great location for outside eating and drinking, but is looking very tired and needs a good spruce up

Very friendly and helpful staff, good food and super fast service :-)

Great stayed 2 nights, the room and restaurant/pub we found clean and tidy the staff are very friendly and helpful. We ate in both nights and the food was wonderful, a big thumbs 👍 up for the chef.

Fantastic place to stay and eat .Cannot fault the service we received. Will be returning very soon .Central location does have a car park but if full there is a much larger on only three minutes walk away .

Brilliant place to socialise with large garden sheds put in during Covid and a lovely place for dogs. Very friendly staff and good food 😀

Lovely venue, heart of holmfirth next to the river with the sound of running water and church bells ringing leads to a relaxing and haunting experience. Nice coffee and the Maltesers are a nice touch. Back accepting cash too which is a brilliant change.

Pre booked table and food for 7.30 as it was a large party. Slow on taking drink orders food was slow to arrive few wrong orders delivered mine and a few who had same kebab hanging chicken was just not hot chips was cold ridiculous since we put food order in when booked table. NEVER AGAIN 😡😡😡😡 for the price could of made a better job at home shocking.

The dirty burger and fries are amazing. Fantastic food and service. Well done guys. 5 stars. Even the free water taste good.

A great wedding celebration in a friendly cozy bar and restaurant 😀

Excellent menu! So nice to be at a pub that has a fresh and veggie/vegan friendly menu. Really good food and friendly staff but just a tad expensive for what you get

Just went for lunch our experience was not good told we could not have a beef sandwich and chips we had to have a Yorkshire pudding instead when we asked why was told not on this menu by a young man who himself not very friendly will not be going again

Popped in Sunday dinner time just for a quick drink but ended up dining. I opted for the seafood linguine and my partner for the open fish buttie. My food was stunning I would definitely recommend . Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

Fantastic place great atmosphere was busy but there was a gig on at The Picturedrome which we were attending. Ideally placed less than a minute walk to get to the Picturedrome. We pre booked a table, the food was really really good the best fish and chips we have had for a long time, lots of choice on the menu, staff are lovely. Food prices are good, nice bar area good choice of drinks. We really enjoyed it would go again.

Empty restaurant but told we need the table by 18.30 if you would be finished by then ..

Great place to visit as a tourist or a walker

Great atmosphere, not great choice for someone who enjoys draft bitter.

In the main, the food here was really good. One of the starters had to be sent back as it was cold in the middle and to be fair to them, we weren't charged for it. The main courses were delicious, but here's why I've rated it as average. We were not offered a dessert. After the mains, a bill arrived without being asked for. It was the wrong bill. It was then replaced without apology. No offer at all of dessert and when we asked why, we were told that "we need your table back for the next booking, you've had your time". Sorry, but when you've messed up, it's not our fault that you need to move us out to accommodate the next people on your conveyer belt. Also felt that drinks were expensive. Overall, even though the mains were good, it's all a bit style over substance.

Spectacular location. Right next to the river and in the center of town. Quiet at night, with good parking. The room we stayed in was massive with plenty of tea, biscuits and chocolates. We didn't need to use the car after we arrived, as there were plenty of good walks around. Food in the restaurant was okay, but had better nut roasts. Would come back.

Great friendly bar. Felt a bit sorry for the guy behind the bar, he was totally efficient but run off his feet. Think another member of staff needed behind the bar. He was ace and so friendly xxxx nothing fazed him 💯💯💯💯

Great location. Good food and Excellent staff. Shout out to Tate who is so good at their job and a wonderful ambassador to the Old Bridge Inn.

Lovely spot. Quiet and friendly.

Booked at short notice stayed out of town last time so great to be in town and no worries about driving so could have a drink. Parking spot on . Staff great nothing to complain about will be back

1st time visit. Sunday lunch with family members.

Location, location, location. Right in the heart of Holmfirth, right next to the river with its own private carpark for residents. Really nice helpful staff. Great decor and bar area. Really busy at weekends. The rooms are large enough with a small bathroom but very clean. The bed was comfy enough, not the best I've ever slept on, but for one night not bad. Again the decor could do with an upgrade, brown is quiet dark and looks old fashioned. But everything works and it's clean.

Always enjoy staying here, excellent breakfast.

We had a table booked for 1915 tonight at your premises. We both ordered the steak which we both found to be awful and not cooked tour liking as requested We then selected a sticky toffee pudding and a coconut rum rice pudding. Both arrived and my wife’s pudding was neither warm or cold. My pudding was semi warm ,no flavour of rum at all and the topping of nuts were burnt. I voiced my displeasure at the bar and if your gourmet chef needs further training send him to our guest house and I will be pleased to show him.. Needless to say you ruined our very first wedding anniversary and I will make sure our guests know of your standards. I have tried to leave feeback on FB but I cannot as it seems others can’t eithers. Certainly tells a story...Am I right ? I look forward to your reply. Mr S D Headey

Me and my wife called in here recently for a light lunch and we weren't disappointed.We both had an open sandwich(fish butty) and it was really nice.It was well presented and really tasty,would definitely go here again !

I stayed here for the two night Christmas package. Got a lovely welcome from Steph on arrival. The room was lovely and Steph sorted out a couple of little things quickly and efficiently. I slept very well in the very comfortable bed. All meals were included in the package and were all absolutely Delicious 😋. All staff throughout the break were friendly, polite and efficient, including Steph, Hollie and Ellie, The General Manager, who really does have a fantastic team 😊. I highly recommend 😊.

Ellen the cleaner to jack to Ryan to Ellie, Lynn, Phil & Hollie and Issy and all the staff was nice and perlite and kind to me I injoried myself and the lovely people of holmfilth the bed was nice and comfortable and the room was a little small and the floorboards were a bit creaky but they adds its own personality. The building has… shower room could be little bigger .. I left out few names to mention on my first review I wanted to say the staff work extremely hard for us customers at the old bridge inn and I think they all deserve a mention too the cook does amazing food too so tasty the food is I fully recommend old bridge inn .. my visit was from 23rd October to 27th October 2023.. my check in time was for 1500hrs..

We had an overnight stay and had a lovely Sunday lunch and breakfast in the restaurant . The room was very comfortable with a nice view over the town and good quality toiletries. The staff were all really friendly and efficient and we would certainly recommend and will certainly be returning .

We just called for a drink on a very wet Monday afternoon, very expensive, card only payments and no atmosphere at all, all you could hear was the coffee machine which the staff seemed to like playing with all the time!

Lovely hotel ,friendly staff and very helpful.The food is first class ,we went BnB but we had a meal in the evening, lovely

We went for lunch. Immediately told there was an half hour wait for food and a 20 minute wait for a coffee! This actually felt as though they were hinting that we should just leave - as many others did. There were plenty of staff on duty but only one lady actually pulling her weight - shocking to be honest! I ordered fish and chips and was asked small or regular portion. I asked for the small portion which was still £11.99 as I recall - so was really expecting more than the 6 - yes - 6 chips and what could only be described as a battered goldfish fin! Oh my goodness - however - it tasted nice. Needless to say, we won’t be going again. Another thing - the place was nice but no ambience whatsoever - dim the lights and put some background music on for heavens sake.

What a beautiful and clean hotel. Must say the staff here are 5 star!! Nothing is too much. Fantastic chef in the morning for breakfast. Rooms are just what you need for a short break away.

First we must compliment Steph on welcoming us on our arrival. She is a real credit to this place! She was pleasant, cheerful and efficient during our 2 night stay. There is a small free parking area. We missed the entrance first time round! We had a twin room facing an alley area - noisy at night till about 1130pm. The room was very good - very comfortable beds. It was quite warm but a fan was provided. Toiletries were of a high standard as were tea and coffee ( tea pigs and ground coffee bags). Towels were fluffy and large. Bathroom had a shower over the bath but it was nice to be provided with a rubber mat. Housekeeping staff were friendly and helpful. Dinner was excellent - good variety and good value. Although I didn't get my first choice of pudding the first night, I had Cappuccino Creme Brulee on the second night. Definitely worth the wait! Breakfast was also very good - variety of cold and freshly cooked items. We would recommend this hotel.

Just arrived in the area and popped in for a drink before going for a meal . Nice busy bar and seating outside the front and back

Food was good, all freshly cooked, steaks to order, no complaints at all. Good size servings. I had the rump with peppercorn sauce, really good. Staff friendly and not overpowering. Dogs allowed which was great.

We stayed at Old Bridge Inn Hotel for two nights from Thursday to Saturday. First night was ok. Even room was very small. We had to have fan running all night and windows fully open other way it would be too hot to sleep. Up to the Friday evening everything was relatively good. Let's say 4stars even the room was dated and looked 80's. The second night was a nightmare. We had a room above some back alley. There was a place called Tavern with live music. It was loud. Even they closed around midnight there was still people shouting laughing and obviously having lots of fun. I can understand hotels location in the town centre and other businesses around, you can do nothing about. But what you can do is changing the windows for double or triple glazing so when your guests close them they may have at least little bit of noise level down. I don't think I will ever stay in Coaching Group Hotel anymore.

My partner went for Sunday Lunch for his Mums Birthday, He had pork. That evening I started with very bad pains in my stomach and nausea. It continued throughout the night and the next two days. Having to have two days off work.he was very ill the first day and had to stay in bed. The food poisoning lasted for around a week. He had only had toast before the meal at The Old Bridge that day. He notified the manager and he said he would report it to Environmental Health and email him. He heard nothing for two weeks, then we went for a drink into the bar and spoke to another manager. Who said they would ask the manager to contact me. He's heard nothing! Very poor customer service.

Booked here for a gig at the picturedrome as it was literally next door. I had a lovley single room. It had everything i needed in it. The bed was extremely comfortable. Had a meal in the evening which was delicious and reasonably priced served by efficient friendly staff. Breakfast was also extremely tasty. Would definitely stay again.

We. stayed here Thursday 22June. It’s a really good hotel in a great setting and we would highly recommend it. Rooms were clean and the breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices. There is a cosy bar and restaurant and outdoor seating for eating and drinking outside in the lovely sunshine A special mention for the staff especially the barman on Thursday night who was very attentive, pleasant and hardworking . Would stay here again .

Couldn’t fault the food or service, which was friendly, helpful and efficient. I had salmon risotto and my partner had gammon, both meals were very tasty and generous portions meant they were good value for money. Will definitely eat there again when we return to Holmfirth.

We had two meals at the pub in May 2023 and really enjoyed the service. We were a large group of 11 but the food came quickly and was tasty. Star of the show was our server, I think she was called Issy, amazing nonstop smile and was able to bat back all our awkward questions! The restaurant is comfortable with the option of outdoor seating if it's warm enough. We had most things off the menu between us, my meat and potato pie was filling and my burger and chips was delicious (a few more chips please?) The meals were all good sized portions except the standard fish and chips which was the size of a stickleback. Puddings were well presented and filling, apple crumble was the go to pudding for most of us as hungry cyclists!

We pooped in here for Sunday lunhc and had the full roast, it was lamb that day. I've eaten Sunday's all over the place and paid lots of different prices - I would pay twice what they asked for this one; but I'm still full...
