I had a wonderful afternoon tea with my friend today at Villa Farm Cafe. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. I loved that the afternoon tea included a Yorkshire pudding wrap with gravy, along with quiche and pork pies, which was perfect since I’m not a big fan of sandwiches. The selection of cakes was also fantastic – there was a delicious lemon cheesecake, a berry doughnut, a cream scone, and a cupcake. Plus, they offered unlimited hot drinks, though hot chocolate had a small additional charge. I’d definitely go back the afternoon tea was well presented, staff are lovely and I highly recommend the afternoon tea to others!

We went there for Yorkshire afternoon tea. It was very good, with a good gluten-free option. The food was served in quirky shelved boxes. Very reasonably priced with plenty of tea/ coffee (just ask for fill ups). You'd find it hard to do better at the price.

Went in, stood at the door for ages with no acknowledgment. Got shown to a table with crumbs hastily brushed off with bare hands and left sat there. And we waited. And waited. The staff cleaned tables, someone complained about the bill, they cleaned more tables and just ignored us. So we left.

Afternoon tea today was lovely, the best we've had anywhere locally in a long time. Plenty of food, endless tea/coffee and a great selection of both sweets and savouries. Staff were brilliant too, nothing too much trouble, so it all made for a very pleasant visit. What's not to like!!! Very popular venue that we will definitely visit again

We went for the special deal of the Afternoon Tea. This was a deal that was on for a week which was £25 for the 2 of you (a saving of £11). It was very good value. Endless tea, coffee and water. Quiche, pork pie, potato wedges, 2 sandwiches (ham and mustard, and cheese and pickle), mini doughnut, lemon cheesecake, selection of fruit slices and to finish with jam, and cream on a scone.

I am not often one for puddings and when I went a couple of weeks, the service was terrible, and I have never known anything like it there before, My mum ordered the pudding for me, and it was almost near enough 45 mins for a pudding, which I didn't even get in the first place because I decided to cancel the order and just pay for our main, the waitress asked the chef it had gone through and they went no, I said to them you cancel it as I don't want it, and the face I got pulled was disgraceful.

I have been many times before but this time was an eye opener. We had to wait some time to be seated. There was only one front of house. Eventually we were seated but there was no one available to take our order. The front of house girl told us she wasn’t allowed to take orders, only her boss could. We were also told we couldn’t order coffee as the machine was broken. The poor girl was left helpless with nothing to do. The kitchen were waiting for orders. Eventually, the one in charge appeared and started taken orders from the 6 tables who were patiently waiting. The service was dreadful and the coffee machine worked perfectly, they just didn’t have time to make it. At one point they asked us to move to another table so that they could push tables together to seat a table of six. Others were quick to exit when they learned of no coffee. A bit of staff training wouldn’t go a miss

A perfect place to meet friends and family. The food is always consistent with a wide choice. Don’t miss out on the puddings and cakes and delicious coffees. A welcoming atmosphere with great customer service. Then drop into the farm shop next door for a wide selection of fresh local produce.

We both had the full breakfast. Friendly, if slow and a little erratic, service - we both ordered fried eggs, only one of us received one. This oversight was quickly rectified. The breakfast wasn't cheap, £10.95 plus the cost of a drink, but it is of high quality. We both thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts. If you do go to the cafe at this time of year/in colder weather, do take something warm to wear. The cafe was not warm when we visited, perhaps it hadn't had time to warm up after Sunday closure. All the customers in the cafe were sitting well wrapped up. If at all possible, do avoid being seated near the door!

Fantastic little cafe and shop! The cafe serves amazing home cooked food and a proper Yorkshire brew! And the shop is an absolute gem, tucked away on the outskirts of Huddersfield in a mainly residential neighbourhood. It is a case of you blink and you’ll miss it. The shop contains some amazing local food and also some great homemade pies, pasties and desserts. Not to mention fresh eggs! Whilst the in house butchers is simply amazing value for amazing meat!

We popped in for lunch as we were going to the farm shop as I hadn't been before and my daughter recommended it . About a dozen in on arrival ,I ordered a scone , my daughter ordered poached egg on toast with avocado, drinks came quickly luke warm then reheated , scone quickly came quickly , sadly 50mins later no poached eggs had to cancel ! At this point the cafe was full ,in 50mins only 8 meals came out , people next to us told they couldn't order for 15mins ? Poor service .

Well where to start!!! We have just walked out of the Villa Farm Shop. Gave our order for lunch...cups of tea came straight away and an hour later our food had still not arrived. Non of the staff came to say there was a delay...basically just left to sit. All the tea had been drunk. We have been numerous times before but today means we will never go back. Absolute shambles. We did offer to pay for the tea bit no charge was made.

Had our first breakfast here after returning from holiday a couple of months ago after a delayed flight. We’d had a breakfast the day before at Heathrow, Gordon Ramsays ‘Plane Food’ - Villa farm cafe is 1000% better! In fact you can’t make a comparison. The food at the villa cafe is cooked to perfection, the staff are lovely, professional, courteous and helpful. The price of the food is reasonable especially after the rubbish we were served at Gordon Ramsays. So we’ve been again for another treat and we weren’t disappointed. Excellent breakfast, lovely staff and a clean cafe with lots of returning customers which speaks for itself.

The staff worked hard to seat all 5 of us at a table but 2 pushed togetter got us together a t last. We only had 3 different meals. I had the chicken and ham pie with boiled veg, roast spuds and yes, chicken gravy. My wife had the jacket potato with salad and prawn in sauce. All 3 additional adults had beef and onion gravy sandwiches! The meals were big enough tat l had to pass on 2 roast spuds!! We all had to pass on a dessert! Staff were very friendly and as helpful as could be expected considering the venue was jammed full, and, there was enough parking nearby. We didn’t get into the farm shop but promise that next time we dine there, we will!

I bought a turkey salad box on Monday for my lunch and I was very disappointed! I used to buy salads from here quite frequently and they were very good and value for money, but not any more.I paid £3:45 for a small box of lettuce, with two slices of tomato, two slices of cucumber, two slices of beetroot and two slices of pepper, one of which was rotten. The Turkey itself was okay, but wafer thin.There wasn’t any dressing offered, or coleslaw, or potato salad or anything to give the salad some flavour.

Recommended by friends, we visited this busy little cafe for a mid-afternon coffee and cake. The wonderful display of delicious looking homemade cakes made our choice exceedingly difficult.

We’ve visited this cafe numerous times and always had good food and service. This visit we received the usual good service (and excellent coffee...) but we found the food, we ordered a full breakfast, a little disappointing. The bacon, sausage and tomatoes had clearly been cooked well in advance making them tasteless and rather tough. The scrambled eggs were rubbery and inedible. Such a shame as this is really not the usual quality we expect. Not sure what’s gone wrong here...? We’re pretty loyal so we’ll be back.

My wife and I visited the Old Forge mid afternoon last Saturday. My wife ordered a beef sandwich and I ordered a bacon sandwich. We also had a coffee each which came straight away. It was very busy and was concerned that our coffees would be cold before our meals came. No problem. A lovely member of staff noticed this and brought us another pair of coffees on the house. Our meals came and my wife found that the beef was a little fatty. This was sorted no problem. Food was really nice and my bacon sandwich was the nicest I’d had in a long time. Good food, conscientious staff. What more do you need. We’ll be back

The cafe was very busy and we were lucky to get a table. We waited 45 minutes to get a menu and in the end we decided to get it ourselves. We asked the young waitress if we could order and she said she would come over but never did. We asked another waitress if we could order and she took or order. We ordered a tuna sandwich and a pulled pork sandwich which took a long time to arrive but both tasted very good. Overall the food was good but was let down by the poor service.

We were on our way to Huddersfield Crematorium and being quite early, we noticed a sign pointing out the Cafe and Farm Shop, so we made a beeline for the cafe. We ordered 3 bacon sandwiches and 3 large coffees. The sandwiches came almost immediately, but unfortunately the coffees took a while. The bacon sandwiches were "to die for" - lots of smoked bacon in a granary roll - quite delicious. The staff were apologetic about the lateness of the coffee and unfortunately, none of us had time to finish this, but what we had was very good. We would certainly return to this lovely cafe, when in the area and would thoroughly recommend.

Tried this for lunch yesterday, Sat 9th March, for the first time, 3 of us.The cafe is pleasant & clean, including th toilets & the waitress was very friendly, the food didn't take too long to arrive even though it was busy. It was a bit awkward for people having to queue for a table as there was nowhere for them to wait really, they must feel a bit exposed standing in the middle, luckily we got the last free table. The food we had was fine, a panini & salad, a hot beef sandwich & a few chips with skin on with gravy & a beef & mushroom pie with a few chips, gravy & a bit weird mixture of broccoli, cabbage & watercress. My only gripe is it seemed rather expensive for what we got, we are regulars at Brosters farm shop cafe & you seem to get better value for money there, a lovely view plus the actual farm shop is a lot bigger with more choice of products. Also the loose leaf tea was very weak. However we bought some scones to take home which were very tasty & light, definitely home made & the other bakes looked good quality. All in all it was ok but not really value for money.

Came here for the first time last week and decided to return today it was so good. Had the Butternut Squash soup and my wife had the Mushroom and Chevre. Both were delicious and are accompanied with large and very tasty Cheese scones. Last weeks scones were presented differently and as such were a little better but today's were still tasty. Always very busy and the staff are run a bit ragged at times, but today one of the owners took control and things progressed well. Nice chat with her after which was nice. Will certainly return even though we are 20 miles away!!!

It was all freshly cooked, hot and very tasty and reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning for another breakfast.

You can usually judge an establishment by how it deals with mistakes. This little coffee shop gets 10 out of 10. After waiting 20 mins for coffee and scones I went to find out what had happened to our order. We first received an apology and were then informed our order was being prepared. Our order was served with a second apology. Whilst we were tucking in to our delicious scones with lashings of butter a third apology came and the offer to take a complimentary cake of our choice home. We couldn't have asked for more and it was more than we expected. Well done to the whole team who give excellent service and always with a smile. We will be back again soon.

I’ve been here a few times now with family and it’s increasing in popularity. Their staff are brilliant at service and the food is home cooked style and delicious! My favourite is the soup of the day (mushroom has been the best) and the cheese scone they serve with it is the best!

Brunch with my parents today was absolutely lovely, cooked breakfast was excellent 9/10. Would have made a 10/10 if served on hot plates. (Beans a little cold). But really lovely ingredients, from the toast, quality sausages and lovely bacon to the rich eggs and even butter tasting like it used to.

Me and my friend came for a catch up and some brunch today and it was simply lovely. The food came out quickly, was delicious and the staff were all so lovely. Cakes looked delicious too but we were too full! Really lovely cafe and clean toilets and a lovely little farm shop with lots of choice as well.

We had been bought a gift of afternoon tea and phones through to book a table. This was extremely easy and efficient and we were so glad to find they had reserved a lovely window table. True the view is only out to the farm yard/car park but the light made the experience so much more enjoyable.

Delicious afternoon tea delivered by lovely friendly staff. We had far to much food to eat and were given little boxes to take home the left overs. One of the party has a nut allergy which was catered for superbly. All round fantastic experience.

Just had a Christmas lunch at the Old Forge, first time we have had a meal their and it was really lovely thank you. The staff are always very pleasant and we enjoy visiting for our Friday latte. Look forward to visiting in 2018. Happy Christmas to you all.

Being a frequent visitor to The Old Forge Coffee Shop without any grumbles, the food is always delicious and service is usually very good. Today however we waited over 10 mins to be given a menu, then another 10 mins for our order to be taken and then another 30 minutes until our drinks arrived. So 50 mins of sitting at an empty table until we got a cup of coffee is totally unacceptable. I had gone with my daughters and grandaughter, one daughter had never been and was looking forward to eating here due to me enthusing how fab the food is. The food arrived 10 mins after the drinks. I do appreciate it was busy but have been many times before when it was as busy and never waited more than 15 mins for drinks and food. It has really put be off visiting again for a while, which is a shame as up until today it was my first go to local cafe.

We called in for a coffee today and fancied sharing a piece of cake. There is a good selection here and they do Gluten free cakes/scones. We were surprised that they had white chocolate and beetroot gluten free cake. Very nice it was too, converted my partner, who can be a little fussy. BTW, it doesn't taste of beetroot.

Visited this lovely cafe one busy Saturday lunch time. Served by a smiling waitress who offered to quickly clear a table for us (which she did). This cafe has the usual fayre on the printed menu but has a really good 'specials' board. My friend ordered beef stroganoff and I ordered BBQ pulled pork, chorizo and bacon burger with homemade coleslaw and chunky chips. Both were really tasty and excellent value for money. We had planned to have a dessert but we were both too full. Making a return visit to test out the cakes! By the way...the coffee is also good.

I have visited a few times before and it has always been pleasant but on a Saturday afternoon when it was half empty, you would have expected much quicker and more efficient service than what we received.

Went for lunch, my wife had the fish butty and I had the roast beef with onions and gravy. They were brilliant, a lot of fish and beef, and very tasty. Great ale on tap, what more could you want?

This was our 4th outing to this superb restaurant for Sunday lunch. Our friends were as impressed as we were once again. The food was outstanding, the service exemplary and we could not have been treated any more like VIP’s by Francis and his team. The entire experience was indeed just wonderful and we will be back again very soon. Thank you everyone. You’re true professionals.

Booked a table for 4 for 7:30, we arrived on time, were shown to our table swiftly and had good attention from the wait person. However, on booking the website said the table needed to be vacated by 9 [which is actually when they say they close mid-week]. It was 8:30 by the time our food arrived, which if we had had to leave at 9 was a joke. Maybe this was to give you time to buy the expensive drinks. I thought the soft drinks were highly priced. I had to ask twice for mayonnaise with the chips. As another reviewer has noted, it probably is a venue for the younger generation, we were next to a table who were so loud it was difficult to hear each other speak. The burgers were not as filling as I had expected for hand made [I had the Ho Chi Munch [which I thought for a veggie option was overpriced as beetroot is not as expensive as beef] , others had the Boss, the Old Skool & the LTO. I doubt if we'll go again.
