The Scape House in Kirklees

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?

The staff are amazing and the food is great. The views are outstanding. Alway feel welcome here.

Great service, food and atmosphere. Thank you for the birthday treat for Evie x

Visited here for the first time with my Mrs. Firstly, the food was incredible! I ordered the 10oz rump, which was cooked to perfection. Pepper sauce on the side was delicious. Home made chips and a generous portion of salad just added to the delight. Mrs ordered the oven roasted chicken breast. The mash was incredibly creamy and delicious. The chicken cooked to perfection. The blue cheese sauce was lovely! We were well looked after by who I assume were the landlord and lady. Incredibly friendly and ran around working hard to make sure everyone felt like they were top priority. Would wholeheartedly recommend.

Spent a lovely relaxing lunch here today, looking out across the fields surrounding Huddersfield. Fabulous food (from a good menu selection, both for choice & portion size. Listening to good music, & served by pleasant staff. Could have eaten outside if we had wanted to, but we chose to eat indoors in the relaxing decor. Would highly recommend.

Great Sunday lunch, beautiful meat. Good sized portions, attentive and lovely staff, a really pleasant meal. Very happy!

Stopped here after a good walk round Scapegoat Hill. The following week we walked round Birkenshaw, stopping at the the Halfway House. All of us drank the same beer at both locations (Bradfield Farmers Blonde). The Scapehouse price is £5.00/pint, Halfway House £3.30/pint. Make your own assumptions where we won't be returning.

Seems suddenly very expensive, single g and t and a pint £12. not what is was a few years ago.

Good long menu suitable for all allergies and veggies etc

Had two Sunday lunches, the first was ok, the second, tough beef impossible to eat.

Great homemade food, would highky recommend trying. First time at this pub and can't see it being the last.

Lovely fresh food. Bar area dated,but typical homemade food. Great chef.

We came for my cousins birthday back in April and the experience was great, the service was spot on and the staff very helpful with any questions. We ordered off the 2 for £25 menu and we wasn’t disappointed. Portion size was good and the food was very tasty. There is a park across the road also which is great if you have young restless children. All round great experience here.

Been to The Scape House quite a few times but the food doesn’t seem to be on par with how good it used to be. Not sure if they have a new chef. A couple of weeks ago myself and family went for a meal and 3 of us ordered the rump steak and all 3 of us left most of it. It was cold and really chewy. They also don’t give you a steak knife so it was so hard to cut through. Went again last Sunday and had the roast dinner. This also was very disappointing. It was lukewarm, had lumpy mash, watery gravy and barely any vegetables. The beef was also very chewy. Definitely not worth what they charge for it. The pub itself is lovely and staff are great. Just the food that is letting them down in my opinion. Tip - provide steak knife’s for the steak and the roast beef!

Very nice pub great food price ok you pay for quality

Saturday night dinner and T Taylor beer. All superb.

A really nice place to visit for a meal hospitality was second to non. I well recommend the Scapehouse pub / restaurant for a visit 😀

This pub West Yorkshire is in my hometown, booked in for a meal and was not disappointed. To the chef it’s a ten from Len to the staff it’s ten from Len, we couldn’t ask for anything better. In fact it’s 11 out of ten the food was excellent tasty and hot. Well done all

The food is always fabulous, it’s my go to restaurant, the staff are lovely too. I highly recommend the roasts or the steak pie.

Quiet lunchtime mid week reunion. Went well.

Called in for a pint on a carriage drive around the local hostelries

Me and my family have been going to the scape house regularly for meals for the past few years. The atmosphere is friendly and cosy, the menu is perfectly varied and reasonably priced. The food is always amazing! We have never had a bad meal and even after eating there on so many occasions, we are still blown away by the quality. It is all very fresh, served hot, very tasty and very generously portioned. I recommend everyone to try this place, be sure to book as they can get busy!

Food was very very good. Had the ale pie

Went for a casual dinner after being out for the day. What a lovely meal. We had the last table in the pub, but were offered another when it became available. We both ordered Gammon and it was delicious! The staff were friendly and helpful. It was lovely to see a place so busy when times are hard. Please support your locals so we all have somewhere lovely to eat. Thank you x

Never Dissapointed when we go here!! Always spoilt for choice what to hav with the choices on the menu.

Me and my husband both had beef Sunday lunch we didn’t make a booking (big mistake ) as I finished work early and just chanced it but we were seated promptly (luckily)by Jason the new manager to the only table that was free it was incredibly busy but all the staff were prompt and happy to look after us , there was no wait on food considering how busy it was , we opted for desserts too , however beautiful they were we are sat at home stuffed now (our fault for being greedy lol) but all in all a fantastic experience , but be advised to book you may not be as lucky as we were

Fabulous food great atmosphere and good value for money

Great to see lots of people having a good time midweek. Good food and drink 👍

Amazing place,everyone very welcoming great atmosphere thanks for having us

£5.50 for a pint of bitter, way above the normal price, everything else good

great disabled facilities, & treated with respect. wonderful food, wonderful staff. thank you. beer really good, all food great

Went for son's 18th lovely food great service atmosphere staff excellent Steve great thanks to all see you in May👍😃😃

Very good food and service. A little pricey but to be expected.

We popped in here for a late lunch … it was still quite busy. We sat in the area just past the bar … the only negative of our visit was that this area was quite chilly. The actual food was excellent … the garlic mushroom starter has great flavour and the whitebait starter was cooked perfectly. My wife had the small lunchtime fish & chips and it was plenty for her. I went for the Scape burger … two excellent patties and trimmings … neither of us could manage a pudding!

Really enjoyed the meal and the service was excellent.

Myself and partner visited last week and the food was absolutely amazing we both had steak n blue cheese sauce, was delicious highly recommend this place, staff were so friendly and there was a great atmosphere will definitely be back...

Did a search for places to eat on a business trip, we were nrsr Scape House so decided to give it a shot...so glad we did. Really friendly and attentive server, nice open fire and amazing food. Black pudding fritters, devilled whitebait and steak and ale pie. Very generous portion size, really well seasoned, delicious pie with nice jus and veg. Real hearty comfort food but with top restaurant quality. I would recommend Scape House Inn to anyone and will definitely make a trip out there again later this year.

We had booked a table for 4pm..we gave our name at the door and was just left there waiting for a good 4 minutes. So we approached the bar to find someone. Then we were acknowledged and were shown to out table. It was for me and my mum for her birthday. We were sat next to a table of approx 6 cackling women with constant mobiles ringing and two dogs off their leads constantly walking so.close to our table, tails wagging causing hairs around our food. The waitresses were so young they didn't know what the veg of the day was and had to ask another waitress loudly across the room . My mum asked for crackling with the pork on her Sunday dinner..none came.. I had the Sunday dinner..my first ever visit..and was so disappointed for the price! I had 2 small 🥕 one parsnip. The smallest "blob" of mashed 🥔, 3 tiny roast potatoes 🥔 and red cabbage..(we were told cabbage). I'm not a lover of red cabbage so would not have ordered the Sunday dinner if I'd known...reluctantly we didn't complain about any of this.. and to top it off we waited 11 minutes from asking for our bill to receiving it and that was because we had to ask again!! . THAT 11 MINS WITH THESE CACKLING WOMEN,MOBILE PHONES GOING OFF. PINGING AND RINGING AND THE DOGS. WAS UNBEARABLE. Extremely disappointed to say the least as was my mum...my sister advised you used to serve cauli/brocoli cheese separately with a Sunday dinner. What's happened to that...also where were the "roaring log fires" which tempt people in..certainly not lit on a very cold day.

Great friendly place with gorgeous food it’s our local too so we are very lucky

Staff were lovely, food was mediocre. The reserved table was in the path of the toilets and kitchens and was very loud. Beer selection was poor.

Fantastic food and atmosphere! Really enjoyed our meal. Gluten free options were great. The staff are really knowledgeable and reassuring when ordering gf. Looking forward to coming back.

Went for dinner today and just had to review. Between us we had king prawn, black pudding and salt and pepper wings to start. Followed by belly pork, chicken Kiev, beef stew with horseradish dumplings and childrens chicken dinner. To finish an apple crumble and some ice creams. I can honestly say that everyone really enjoyed each course and it was empty plates all round. I saw the earlier review about the stew and gave it a go anyway. I'm guessing the chef has altered the recipe slightly as My portion was full of meat and roasted veg, in a lovely thick gravy with horseradish dumplings which tasted amazing. The staff were also great. it got really busy while we were there but it was still lovely to sit in the hub of the pub with the twinkle lights and everyone just enjoying themselves. It felt cosy as it always has. Can honestly say well done to the new owners. It's always been known as a great pub and eatery, so I'm glad you've been able to carry this on. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely warm welcome from Craig and the team at the scape house dog friendly open fire proper home cooked food

Went with family last weekend, and it was lovely, local crowd with lots of dogs and home cooked food. I am looking forward to visiting again when I am up from London.

Food wasn’t brilliant and car park is a menace to get out of

Situated with great views over the valley this is a traditional pub offering good food and drink with parking opposite. Our party enjoyed a selection of starters which were all enjoyed including black pudding fritters with a spicy chilli jam, battered brie wedges , garlic mushrooms, chicken liver parfait and very good french onion soup. They are renowned for their pies and the steak and ale , and cheese and onion, in particular, were a big hit with good chips. The only real disappointment was the beef stew which was a little thin and not the best for £17. The Creme brulee was good but again the Chocolate Fudge cake not the best and probably needed more ice cream to compensate. Drinks were reasonably priced but service was a bit slow in places even though they were not that busy. However the quality of food and location definitely warrants a visit.

Had lunch today, this was our very first visit. The food was outstanding and the girl working was lovely making us feel so welcome her customer service was excellent and she worked so hard looking after everyone! Will definitely return. Thank you ♥️

Lovely cosy pub with excellent food and service

If you want the feeling your at Battersea dogs home then this is the place… Dogs in restaurant, dogs in bar area, all barking most of the time we were there. Not the place for us I’m afraid..

Excellent meals 😋 our new eating place.

Great food and atmosphere.Lovely warm welcome. Definitely recommend.

Always good. Great food, pleasant and efficient service and dealt with our one "extra" little one with no problem.

Went for my birthday meal it was very busy with a great atmosphere. All the food was excellent as was the service. Complements to the chefs and front of house staff from all of us.

Lovely friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere & delicious food, looking forward to visiting again very soon. Highly recommend

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Scape House. Service very good and great atmosphere. Always worth the visit.

Nice food and very friendly staff A+

Used to come here a few years ago but moved away. We visited last week and it’s still a great little pub. We sampled the fish and chips and they were very nice! big portions too! I think the best thing about this pub is the atmosphere, very cosy and warm and welcoming. The new manager and his partner were lovely and attentive even though it was busy. Wishing them a great future there! Will definitely drive over again soon

Went into the Scape House pub near where my parents live for a family meal on a Monday night without booking. The pub had new owners and they were really friendly and welcoming and had lots of great ideas for building a real community pub. Wish them all the best in their new venture and the food was absolutely fantastic, great value for money and some fine real ales from Bradfield Brewery and Timothy Taylor's. Well worth a visit

Called in today for Sunday lunch as we were passing, we hadn't booked but they found us a table no problem (it was busy with people from remembrance sunday) Lovely cosy and warm pub with great friendly atmosphere. The food was excellent, home cooked and piping hot with excellent service from very friendly waiting staff. We will definitely be returning.

Really warm and comforting. Had a great atmosphere as a great busy British pub. Great views and staff were friendly even though it was busy

Food was excellent and very generous portions. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and our dog was well looked after too!

Been dining and drinking here for years. Great place, fantastic atmosphere. You won't be disappointed.

Went for Sunday dinner, starters were OK but small portion for the price , pork very fatty and yorkshire puddings not very good. Very average.

This is a lovely little pub. So cosy and inviting. We had food and drinks and the portion sizes are great! The blush wine was also very nice. I will return to this pub.

Great pub meals, stunning view, kids park outside

A very welcoming pub in a lovely location at the top of a large hill. Tasty food and friendly staff, we'll definitely be back next time we're in the area!

Very very average, went in a family meal. Looked forward to a homemade steak pie. Dry disappointing , not very warm , looked shop bought. gravy was watery, food not great . Had to send back the house chicken burger, was all soggy and undercooked. The prices was different to website, around £2 more per person. Fish pie, well said king prawns? One prawns d very little fish, mostly cheesy mash . Will definitely not go back. Ok location if your having a drink, but give food a miss.

Been here a few times now and really enjoy it! The food is delish and the staff are super lovely! Had a mixture of dishes and over 3 visits and all have been gorgeous.

Lovely Atmosphere , Dog friendly. Great food. Very pleasant staff 5 *****

Nice Sunday lunch. Great views.

Have visited Scape house before but last in December 2022. On previous occasions the food was excellent but alas this time not so good A good steak pie but poor chips..My wife had beef which was insipid. Granddaughter had pizza which it seemed like a cheap supermarket one which had just been thrown in the microwave Will try somewhere else next time

The food here is excellent, lovely pub and friendly staff

Great place to eat. Good menu selection and fair prices. Great decor and a happy ambience.

Lovely pub with really nice interior. Feels very welcoming and the staff were quick to get us seated. We pre booked but was unaware we'd be bringing our baby in her pram and they offered us the choice to pick where we sat that would be best suited for us and the pram. Food was gorgeous, I had the brie wedge for starters and the scan house buttermilk chicken burger. The brie wedge was honestly unreal how good it was and so was the burger. Apart from the chicken itself, towards the centre if the burger it was quite tough but was still very enjoyable. Prices was fair for what you get and the staff was just amazing. The 2 ladies that served us was very friendly and loved have a chat about our baby and exchanging stories about themselves and their experience with parenthood. Only other downside was no drinks menu BUT the ladies reeled off what they had at the bar when we asked. All in all, great pub and grub, great staff and the view from the long wi Dow where we sat of the valley ahead was just beautiful. Definitely recommend!!!

Food was terrible had the falafel burger bread very dry falafel slopey no taste no side salad bad presentation very expensive for what you got asked if okay told server about the problem had no come back whatsoever no apologies just left very disappointed won't be going back 😕

Slow for food to arrive. Dont have lasagne.

Very nice little place . Food was lovely Staff was lovely . Reccommend Nice surrounding villages to have a wonder round

My wife and I walked up from Golcar on a red-hot sunny afternoon for a couple of drinks. After a while we noticed the "Specials" menu on a chalkboard and although we hadn't intended eating,we decided it would be a good idea. The "2 meals for £20 " were EXCEPTIONALLY good quality and Value For Money,we will defo be returning soon and spreading the word.We were well looked after throughout by Gary,a very friendly helpful chap and the Timothy Taylor's Landlord was delightful.

Visited with my partner and newborn through the week for lunch, food was really nice and reasonably priced , nice relaxed atmosphere and cosy traditional pub feel. Will be returning

Lovely pub with great views. The food is fabulous and it has a wide selection of drinks available

Lovey place great food very warm welcome

Just eaten at The Scape House, absolutely terrific all round. Brilliant food, tremendous service and fantastic value for money. Lovely venue, a very pleasant evening with my folks who were visiting for the first time and they loved it. Also - amazing views. Thank you!

We love this place … the food is always top quality … the service is always top quality and it’s a warm relaxed atmosphere!! We always recommend to family & friends 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great food -Sunday lunches were huge and everything was perfectly cooked. Steak pie was stacked with meat and the fish and chips were to die for. Great service and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Late lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Great choice of food. We chose a selection from of small plates (that are not that small), light bites and larger portions. Something for everyone. Very good service, lovely atmosphere and we all enjoyed the food.

Recommend by a colleague and they were spot on, an excellent Sunday Lunch and I will definitely be back.

We’re planning to go this pub and booked a table for evening meal for two,warm welcome & friendly conversation, food was very good,delicious great choices on the menu,atmosphere was lovely,proper village public house,most definitely will be visiting soon again highly recommend

Service was shockingly slow, was seated to booked table immediately on arrival - took over 15mins to get our drinks order taken. Food order was then taken a good 10-15minutes afterwards and finally delivered to our table (just the pair of us) an hour after...

A lovely meal. Fabulous Steak and Ale pie. Great beer, Timmy Taylor’s Landlord, too.

There's nowhere else I would go in Huddersfield to get my steak pie... To die for.

Arrived as a table of 4 walk in and waited around for about 5 minutes until the waitress worked out what to do. Thankfully a man came down and sorted us out. However, would return for the great food and great portion sizes.

Yummy food and friendly service in a nice pub with beautiful surroundings!

Lovely pub, the food was very good too.

Nice pub with an amazing Sunday roast.

What can we say, the place was spotless. We have eaten out quite a lot lately, some 5*! This has been the best food ever.the quality, the presentation and the way it was cooked was amazing. The staff were so pleasant and polite, they are...

Having been recommended by friends we weren't disappointed, we both had the Sunday Roast and it was delicious, really tasty, huge Yorkshire, tender beef, everything perfect, washed down with a pint of great beer too. We didn't need a pudding but had one anyway! We...

Lovely welcoming pub serving delicious food!

Cosy pub in a location with a great view across rural Huddersfield, friendly staff and a big car park. Dropped a star because the food can be a bit hit and miss; I've previously visited and had burgers which were quite dry and lacked flavour, and steaks which were similar even when extra sauce was paid for. Having said that I've also had lunchtime baguettes including the rump steak baguette which is very tasty and good value for money.

Always a fantastic atmosphere and beautiful food, thankyou tobthe scapehouse and your team ❤️ x

Pub i so cosy and the food was lovely
