The Wheatsheaf Gastro Lounge in Kirklees

Great little pub! Great staff. Friendly. Awesome food! You will not be disappointed.

sunday lunch with friends, 2 roast beef & 1 belly pork, best sunday dinner i’ve had for as long as I can remember, love this place!

The food at the wheatsheaf is amazing,this was our first visit to have something to eat , it's a beautiful pub with a lovely atmosphere. The food was a step up from pub grub and beautifully presented, price very reasonable, we will definitely come back to eat , good choice on the menu and drinks.

Tried the seniors menu very good portion size and Great value Lovely food

Food was excellent but service a little on the slow side (although staff were great)!

Love this place...always amazing food and friendly staff 😋

Absolutely lovely pub and the food was fantastic!

Eaten here at our local 30+ times and never once had a bad meal. Not sure why I’ve never got around to writing a review before now but better late than never! Excellent quality food and enough options to satisfy our limited food requirements ie. Vegetarians, Pescatarian etc. Staff are always very friendly and put a lot of effort putting on events despite the unpredictable British weather!

Poor food and service last time we visited. Place was very quiet ( not surprising)with only two staff to be seen used to be exceptional. Not been back since.

Just been this afternoon first visit for us , the food was very nice staff brilliant very helpful ,chatty friendly lady's in when we arrived then quiet after they left so had time to chat to each other while eating our meal ,so a very nice afternoon out for us . Thanks to the 2 lovely lady's that took care of us.

Good service and cooking. Reasonable price and dog friendly.

we went on mother’s day and had the set menu. As it was mother’s day they were busy as expected. our food took over a hour to arrive from ordering which was longer than expected but it was the nicest sunday lunch i’ve had in forever!! I hate having a bad roast which 99% of the time they are but this one was amazing!! would deffo recommend and will be going again. Thank you x

Great value for money especially for seniors (oap)

Top quality food, friendly staff, reasonably priced.

Had Sunday lunch here a couple of weeks ago. The food was delicious, the service excellent and there was a lovely atmosphere too.

Lovely meal! The food was delicious and great value for money! The service was friendly and attentive! Can’t wait to return!

Lovely small village pub with laid back friendly vibes, so welcoming and the food never disappoints, real home made food and we love that on Sundays we can pick from the main menu as well as the roasts. Always great and always cozy

We’ve visited a few times recently and have not been disappointed anytime we’ve been! We’ve tried the lunch set menu, steak night and the Sunday lunch! If you go for the steak night I strongly recommend the truffle mushroom sauce! Staff have been so friendly and welcoming! And even helped settle our baby whilst we ate! Thank you!

Amazing place, food always great, atmosphere great, team and owners always welcoming. There is nothing too much trouble. You need to try steak night and Sunday dinners to start, but book early as it fills up fast and the main menu and specials are great too. We always love a visit to The Wheatsheaf.

Lovely tapas options in a cosy environment and great beer garden. Lovely staff. Nice for a date night. Only things would change were the pizza, wasn’t nice when we visited, very doughy and seemed like a freezer pizza. There was also a strange smell (a bit like gone off cheese) for the whole visit but I’m sure that was just a one off and not sure what caused it. Would definitely give here another go and would love to visit when one of their themed events are on.

Went for lunch as not been in years the place feels very basic now I’m sad to say. Not welcoming and quite rough around the edges the food was at best average this used to be a fab place to eat definitely not a gastropub. The toilets were grubby and thoipet basin looked like it hadn’t been cleaned properly for years and the sanitary bin was full Sorry but we won’t be returning the social media makes it look great but it isn’t

Brilliant food and brilliant service from the team. We’re very lucky to have this as our local pub. 👍

Another wonderful Sunday lunch as usual. Lovely pub with fantastic staff..The best Sunday lunch as far as I am concerned.

A varied menu gives plenty of choice. Food is beautifully prepared. Friendly staff for whom nothing was a bother. The seafood platter (for two) can be ordered in advance and is a good mark of the quality of the food. Overall, a highly recommended eatery.

Lovely setting, beautiful beer garden and the food was 1st class, will definitely call in again.

Can't rate the food as we didn't eat there however what we saw looked lovely. Warm welcoming pub.

Absolutely amazing, steak night is top quality, 3 visits now and there'll be more, we highly recommend, especially if you're looking for a mid week offer, top quality without compromise on the offer price, 16oz rump for £18 😊🇬🇧

Grill night, fantastic food, service. If there are better steaks getting served I've not found it, quality, quantity all top drawer, if you haven't been what's stopping you, excellent value and experience.

Very enjoyable food. Found a quiet friendly atmosphere on the Saturday we visited.

I’d highly recommend The Wheatsheaf. Great food and a warm welcome. Thursday night is Grill Night and offers a main course, side and drink for £15pp - great value!

Went for Sunday Lunch which was excellent, staff great, service good, would highly recommend. Also Grill Night Thursday is great menu, excellent food and good value.

We’ve just visited and enjoyed our evening meal at The Wheatsheaf. I had the sausage and mash which was accompanied by onion gravy (very tasty!) and garden peas, hearty fare that really hit the spot! My wife loved her fish platter (pictured) a varied selection of beautifully cooked & seasoned fish. She commented that the coating on the calamari was insanely good and was complimented by the light and crispy batter on the goujons, the whole dish was ‘a delight to eat’ and good value for the variety offered. We found our servers really friendly, helpful and attentive and we’ll be sure to head back again soon as the rest of the menu looks so tempting!

We had high hopes but the food was terrible, just like the service. Avoid the fish platter, it’s deep friend and so salty it was inedible. They couldn’t even get my order correct! Overpriced garbage!

As usual fantastic Sunday lunch. Great staff. The mother and daughter team are lovely. The other staff also. The food is always great. An absolute delight to find somewhere so good. Keep it up your the best alison and Dave.

Visited for a light lunch today. The small plates menu was perfect. Opted for bruschetta which was average and the haddock goujons which had the most delicious batter. Service was friendly and professional.

Amazing food staff were brilliant had a great evening

Great food and amazing service from Josh.

I have been here a few times with my husband... we came here for our wedding anniversary meal this year, and also for the occasional date afternoons/evenings/nights. The food is always 😘👌 spot on. Our latest visit was on their Grill Night, Thursdays. I had the Rump Steak and my husband had the Flat Iron Steak. Both was cooked to perfection, just how we asked for it. The FOOD they serve is always amazing, the DRINKS (cocktails, etc) are always varied and satisfying, the SERVICE is always consistent and of high quality, the STAFF always reliable, welcoming, most attentive and friendly. Even though it isn't our "local," we find ourselves going there more often than anywhere else within walking distance to our residence. It is such a lovely, quaint, inviting pub within a small beautiful village. It is like finding a pearl inside an oyster: such a wonderful surprise. Highly recommend you go and try their food and drinks and experience the friendly welcome of West Yorkshire folks.

Visited The Wheatsheaf with friends for a meal one Friday evening, we booked the table in advance as the pub is often busy on a weekend. I ordered the Mozzarella in Carrozza off the specials board, which was one of the nicest I’ve ever had. The cheese was very light and the sauce was rich and tasty (I wanted some bread just to mop it up!). For mains we ordered off the light bites menu, which were all small tapas dishes, ideal if you want to try different foods and not feel overfaced with a large main meal. THIS WAS SOME OF THE NICEST TAPAS I’VE HAD, BETTER THAN SOME OF THE LARGE RESTAURANTS IN LEEDS, AND ALL REASONABLY PRICED! The chorizo pieces came in a rich cider sauce and bread for mopping up. Bruschetta was served on a piece of soft toasted bread with fresh tomatoes, oil and balsamic dressing. Halloumj cheese was complemented with a lovely chilli jam (not spicy). The beer battered cod pieces were beautifully cooked, the batter was light and the fish fluffy. My friends also had the Garlic and Chillie King Prawns which they said were lovely. The staff were all very welcoming and were working hard serving various drinks and cocktails to customers (they also had an offer on selected cocktails). Lovely beer garden to the rear of the pub, with plenty of table and chairs. We’ve visited this pub several times before on a hot day for a drink, and it gets the sun all afternoon. All in all yet another great visit, well cooked food, friendly staff and great value for money. Look forward to our next visit!

This is a lovely gastro pub, great food but suffers from lousy car parking space when busy.

Lovely homemade Sunday lunch. Great little pub, very clean and relaxing, peaceful atmosphere.

Great little pub, I've yet to sample their fayre, but looking forward to trying, staff made us very welcome and prices of those drinks are very reasonable.

I have been a few times in different company however after today a review was needed as the food was even more phenomenal than usual! Today we went as a party of 5, starters mains and desserts and it was all exceptional, the service was attentive and quick and the decor is beautiful. Today they served their full menu with Sunday roasts and the family all had different things and each had not a bad word to say! The Wheatsheaf has gone from a tired village pub to a modern full of life little gem and we are so glad we found it! Keep up the good work guys, we’ll see you soon!

Having not been for a few years (the food was gorgeous) we thought we'd go again.Upon entry we realised the owners had changed and the beautiful traditional pub decor had been replaced by some weird mismatch of random things.The room we ate in was dark and dinghy with a horrible papered green roof...anyway onto the food...my starter was OK but my wife had to return her garlic mushrooms as all she could taste was salt. The mains were a disgrace.The slow roast pork must have roasted for 10 minutes, the crackling like floppy shoe leather and the vegetables were just plonked whole at the side of the plate and barely warm...it not only tasted awful but the presentation was awful. The chicken and leek pie was passable but very bland.All in all it was a terrible waste of money and such a disappointing night.A new chef is desperately needed...we shall never return.

Excellent food, everyone enjoyed theirs. Service was a little slow but very friendly and helpful. Beer was disappointing, only 1 real ale and is was past its best. I would definitely go back for the food and the beer was probably just bad timing.

Thought we would give the WHEATSHEAF a go after hearing countless positives about the place. We ate from the lunch menu, which was a perfect balance for those that seek traditional classics mixed with the more contemporary. Couldn’t fault the food, delicious and the staff...

Lovely attentive staff, good food and great beer garden. Really decent prices and total bonus of leftover chocolate brownie on the bar! What more could you ask for :)

First time we been in a while, food and service was outstanding. Will definitely be back.

A lovely spot to have a drink on a sunny afternoon

Had a great lunch and afternoon drinks sat in their fabulous beer garden.

Staff are fantastic,the chefs are a dedicated crew and produces amazing meals 🤟👍

Called for lunch recently. Used to come regularly a few years back when it had a really good reputation for food. This time met with the smell of new paint, which was an encouraging sign. Went to sit in the left hand dining room to...

Excellent meal for my daughters birthday. Friendly staff, lovely place. Highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

Great food at a very reasonable price.

Lovely cosy little place and food is always homemade, lovely quality and portion sizes.

First visit for a while. All still good 👍. Moretti £5.10 a pint. Thank you!

Been in this afternoon with 2 friends . Quiet due to snow and us being early 4 ish. Filled up later. Food and service spot on . Gr8 3 course deal also

The service is very good. As is the food quality. Pricing is reasonable. However this is our 2nd visit and both times we found the room a little cold and certainly draughty.

Great meal great service home made chips to die for definitely will return

Great staff and service. Food excellent. Been quite a few times, midweek lunch, Sunday lunch, evening meal or just a drink, consistently good!

what a find! my son and I had a lovely time. Excellent steak, cooked to perfection, as well as a very warm welcome :) highly recommend !

We booked a table for 6 people. The service was very slow and we were all very disappointed. We had to wait over an hour for starters and another 40 minutes for Mains. The server was not very friendly or attentive. However the food was very nice when it finally arrived.

Great staff, great food, drink and atmosphere.

Thursday night, Steak night ... What's not to like ... Great food, sensible prices and a warm cosy atmosphere ... Thank you Amber and Luke ...

Sunday lunch was amazing. Staff attentive and friendly. Come here frequently and always the same. Highly recommended for couples and families.

Went for a walk and came across this beautiful pub, lovely quiet and warm.

Second time I’ve been recently. An amazing meal. The staff were attentive and on the ball. Had the fish pie option with veg. Lovely. The rest of the party really enjoyed their choice

3 of us came for my birthday newly re-opened was skeptical but pleasantly surprised . Food was really good , service with a smile a range of choices for vegetarians and vegans. Give it a whirl! For me it’s local and great to have a...

Went for Sunday lunch with family, excellent Sunday lunch, good size portions, all food presented well, had a starter from special board, which was fish cake it was delicious, as was all the food. Lovely surroundings and staff pleasant and friendly, would highly recommend.

Had Sunday dinner with family. The food was very nice but we had a long delay on service. We did get an apology and a reduction in the bill when we eventually lost patience and complained, or we might still be sitting there. Apparently, the...

Amazing food. Sunday dinners are lovely. Creamy cabbage and cauliflower cheese are delicious and the staff are very friendly too.

The food was delicious and served hot. We all had beef dinner, beef was tender, all veg was cooked lovely. Amazing food and very friendly service. Can’t fault it.

We went for a family Sunday dinner. All food was fantastic. The beef was perfect and tender as anything. The service was brilliant. Amber and Luke are amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. Would highly recommend, absolute hidden gem. 100% worth a visit.

Really good 3 course meal, can't fault any of the courses. The cheesecake was off the scale delicious. Just needs more people in to make the atmosphere better. Come on local people give it a go we need a walkable decent dining experience

What a delight! Small, very friendly. Obliging staff. Busy with a mix of visitoring and regular customers. Food looked and smelled lovely. I didn't eat but saw lots of customers happily empty their plates!

Went for Sunday lunch type food, the warning signs were there, as the pub was pretty empty. I’m posting this review in the spirit of, of they know, they can make changes. The different meats the family had, all were tough and dry The roast...

Had a lovely Engagement party here. They made everyone very welcome and the canapés were delicious.

Great Sunday lunch excellent service

Great choice, great gluten free options, and great staff.

Lovely food, great staff and comfortable surroundings. Decor is as a traditional pub. Suited 6 of us and all Happy.

Not the best decoration but food and atmosphere is fab. Child friendly and a quiet area to have a cosy bite to eat

Excellent afternoon out to Ibiza day, with a lovely atmosphere and nice people Good music 🎶 The tapas was mouth watering good and full of flavour Later they moved the music inside and it was great ! These two ladies running the pub Hana and...

Just visited for the first time, we will definitely be back… lovely place, food was delicious and the service was amazing … ❤️

I have been here with a party of 7 and 5 family members including a small child of 2. I have also been just as a couple. No matter the size of the party the food is always amazing as is the service. This beautifully...

Spent Friday evening here with friends. Happy to say that the food was really great, homemade with care and FLAIR. A great selection of drinks all at good prices. Staff were friendly and attentive. Forget the chains, this is a great pub. Can't wait to...

It’s lovely to see life back in to this country pub, a great deal of money has been spent to update it and the food is reasonable, just a shame you have your weekend “acts” so loud that it can be heard throughout the village....

Food was ok nothing special, Hannah was really lovely but the food took a long time to come. We were booked for 7 and we left at 9.30 only having 2 courses. I’m worried what the service would be like if the place was busy.

Myself and my partner visited on Saturday 16/07/22. We were very pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. The food was amazing, presented well, very tasty and priced fairly. The cocktails were perfect. The staff couldn't do enough, very professional, friendly and attentive. We...

It’s a shame. This was a really great pub once. The menu promised good food. My wife and I chose the bruschetta starter to share which was very good although two pieces of toast would not have broken the bank. I chose the main as fish and chips with peas my wife the Fish with risotto. In both cases the fish was excellent although the batter was soggy and risotto over seasoned We then had the pavlova to share at £10. This came with a do it yourself assembly of jam meringues and cream in separate dishes …strange Overall the decor is awful the atmosphere absent and maybe we will try somewhere else next time

A lovely village gastro pub. Fantastic spot for lunch on the sun In the beer garden- good value high quality food.

Very tasty and well cooked food. Great, attentive service.

Nice pub close to family. I found the decor too dark and seemed closed in due to dark walls and ceilings. Would prefer a lighter ceiling colour but still nice

Pver priced for basic food brown crab meat out of a jar shop bought prawns in batter selling them as king prawns seen bigger scampi tails than what they call King prawns I think the chef is over reaching for his own capability

First visit since new ownership. Had Sunday lunch. Food lovely and tasty (in particular the cauliflower cheese) and cocktails 2-4-1 (always a bonus!). Staff very friendly, efficient, and attentive. Everyone and everything positive and will definitely be back at some point to try the evening menu!

Not going here again. Found the menu to be limited and ended up with only a couple of burgers, drinks and a pudding. Over £40 and left feeling hungry. Not great.

Amazing food they have a fantastic chef and the staff are friendly and attentive! We went on a Thursday evening and we got a great deal starter, main and glass of wine only £30 🍷will be going back

The food is well cooked worth a visit if you enjoy a good meal

Lovely food, ambience. Well worth a visit and we'll be back

New owners have done a brilliant job. Food is very good. Lots of different flavours. Good sized portions and very well cooked. Look forward to going back

Good local pub offering fairly uncomplicated but wholesome food. Good for Sunday lunch.
