The White Horse Inn in Kirklees

Called in to the White Horse for some drinks and food after a day trip to York. Good selection of beers. Ordered a couple of pints of bitter which were great. We Ordered 4 meals 2 fish suppers for £20 great value, 1 Sirloin steak with all the trimmings £21, and a sourdough pepperoni pizza £11. All the meals were great well cooked tasty pub grub. Compliments to the chef Zac for the excellent food. Will definitely return on my next visit.

A great little hotel/restaurant/bar, we travelled for an event at the picture dome in Holmfirth. Only minutes away, room was nothing outstanding but well worth the price. Had a really good main meal and excellent breakfast. Well worth the money and we will happily use it again.

Stayed in room 1, just about big enough to a swing a cat, Tv didn’t work. ( not signal,) Light pull fixing falling off on toilet ceiling Very dusty and the room was cold, We didn’t realise the pub closes at 9pm so couldn’t as for it to be put on, bed was ok, think they need to change the house keeper looked like a kid I had changed it and made the bed up, Every time you flush the chain or ran water there was a horrible noise. Couldn’t get the Wi-Fi in the bedroom, Tbh the pub was cold in the bar, shame really as I think they had two working fire places, would have made it cosier, Breakfast was just ok, nothing special, On a plus side local was ok and the young lady on the bar was very helpful,

Very friendly, sensible prices. Fireplace going… what’s not to like?

Stayed over night .Had a lovely stay room was a bit dated but clean and dog friendly .We had a evening meal that was beautiful staff was pleasent and pub really cosy with open with wood burners on and again lovely and clean.Breakfast in morning was great really nice presented .Lovely place to stay close bye to nice walks and really dog friendly .Thanks for a lovely stay and a great price

Only stopped for a quick pint to see where Compo etc used to record extremely helpful owners & staff helped with sharing their photo album, some great shots. Thank you.

This was our second great Sunday Lunch experience, really friendly service, good food and such generous portions that we never made it to the very tempting dessert menu! Will be back soon.

Such a nice place friendly staff nice pint and been there for a reson top marks

A very very nice pub very welcoming to tourists

Lovely rural location, nice food, great value, think they have huge potential with the back of the property which overlooks the water

We’ve only been to the pub and haven’t stayed in the the accommodation. The service is varied, there is a lovely young lady and a rather grumpy middle-aged couple. The food is inconsistent, my last meal was served burned (veggie tart), my dad’s steak and kidney pudding was dry. There is seating inside and outside.

We stayed for one night,greeted by a lady who barely spoke to us and showed us to our room.the room was outside the pub..up a tired hall and staircase. The room was very dated and not very clean. There was a strip of dirty dust behind the toilet door,clearley they had just mopped the middle of the floor. And the sash window would not open. One of the "clean towels " was damp and smelt awful. The window in the bedroom did open,but when I later closed it,it slammed closed,as the cord on the sash broke.! Lucky my hand were clear of the window. The pub was very dark in the morning for breakfast,with no lights on at all. Again the bar maid was unwelcoming,and everything seemed too much trouble. I'm afraid the breakfast was awful ,.we sat at the same table we had sat the night before,when we had one drink before bed..it was sticky from the night before. Clearly not washed . The ladies toilet was dirty,it looked like the floor behind the toilet hadn't been cleaned in months ,with a dirty rusty pedal bin. We had looked forward to our stay in the pub where they had filmed,,but we're very disappointed . Would we recommend.. NO !!

If you don't wish to receive a poor & inhospitable service, do not visit this establishment! !! I booked a table for a family meal as it was my wife's birthday & the people who run this business, as good as, ruined it.I checked on their website what time they were serving food until & booked the table an hour before the stated kitchen closure time. We were reluctant to pick this place as we noticed how less than friendly they were when we visited previously, but we are limited due to having a dog.When we arrived with our 13 year old child & pet dog, they looked at us like we had leprosy,then basically refused to serve us, even though we arrived before the time of the booking.The excuse they gave was that, "they'd had a busy day & were tired". They know why & we know why, as they couldn't hide it their faces. Nothing friendly about this place & we will definitely not spend another penny there !! I am absolutely disgusted & annoyed as my wife burst into tears as we left. I wouldn't recommend this establishment to my worst enemy !! 😡😡

Excellent food. Staff never seem overly happy

Our first visit to our new local, lovely service and good hearty food.

First time stopping at the pub well recommend the food was amazing and the drinks too. Friendly staff Definitely stop again

Excellent location, beautiful surroundings with easy access to Holmfirth and Huddersfield. Lovely, welcoming hosts, nothing too much trouble. Accommodation very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good and home cooked food, with huge portions, very tasty and excellent value for money. Didn't realise pub is dog friendly but when we return will take our labrador with us. Definitely worth a visit.

pub where the last of the summer wine was filmed. There's a small section of memorabilia from the show. This is out of Holmfirth centre. You need to drive to it.

Excellent food, great location and very friendly. Dog friendly too. Rooms a bit tired, otherwise brilliant.

Just called in for a drink after a walk round Hepworth and Hade Edge. Had a look at the menu and the food looked lovely and great value for money especially with the deals like steak night on Wednesday 35 quid for 2 with a bottle of house wine . Will be trying the Sunday roast soon 2 courses for £18 . Finally got round to trying the Sunday roast and took advantage of the two course for 18 quid! I got the prawn cocktail starter which was decent but the star of the show was the roast beef lunch which was lovely and plentiful. My girlfriend got the fish and chips which she said was brilliant and again big portions ! She finished off with the lemon tart ... Both 2 course meals for £36 which is an absolute bargain! Place was almost empty which for the life of me I can't understand cos the food is top notch for the price ! Wednesdays is steak night and Fridays fish and Chips 2 for £20 ! Good possibility we will be back on Friday...

A little way out of town but worth the visit. Awesome service, nice people.

What a lovely friendly pub this is. It's a hidden gem and it used to be used for filming in Last of the summer wine. The food is excellent and the Theakstons the best.

Very disappointed with all 5 meals we had for our dinner . Whilted salad leaves , fried egg was cremated with gammon and burger tasted aweful. Will not visit again !

Great food, wood fire, very cosy. Friendly service.

Lovely country pub good food, lovely fire and great staff. Last of the summer wine was filmed here.

Excellent food from the new menu! Well worth calling in for a nice pint and some grub! Nachos and Sunday dinner were fantastic! Will be back!

Food good but no Soup please bring back the soup, it's simple, it's cheap, and profit marine is so high....

It was very quiet when we called on a Sunday evening. I don't think they do food on a Sunday night We were warming greeted by the young man behind the bar and the other customers, which was lovely. We must call for dinner sometime !

Went here for a meal. Lovely little pub, great food and friendly atmosphere. Log fire was great, too. Thanks for a lovely afternoon. Would visit again.

My partner lesley and I went here to celebrate my birthday on 27/01/2024, we took our dog 🐕 ❤️ Lottie, we had a couple of drinks and s meal, food great, nice and friendly people

Really nice little pub we were staying in an ait bnb next door. We walked down and the Carol singers were singing so decided to stop for a drink a glass of fizz and a mulled wine.

My family and I went to the White Horse for a birthday meal, the staff were friendly and welcoming. The location was picture perfect in a quiet but beautiful place, where we all enjoyed ourselves. I had the Steak & Ale Suet Pie with chips and mushy peas, it was delicious and very filling. I would recommend this establishment for anyone wanting a peaceful meal. I didn't stay in any of the rooms, so I can't rate them.

We stayed for one night and it was very comfortable.The staff were very friendly . Rooms very clean warm and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very enjoyable. All in all a very nice place to stay.

Avery warm welcoming pub restaurant in Holmfirth. Seven of us were there for dinner. Good menus choices. Good food. Good friendly service. We would go again.

Ate lunch today at 3pm. The positives were..friendly smiley staff and efficient service. We ordered chicken Sunday lunch x 3 @ £11.95 per head. The food arrived quickly and there was a lot of it..the veg looked fresh but it was bland as were the yorkshire puddings and potatoes, but nothing that additional salt and pepper wouldn't help! The issue was the two dried up bits of chicken on the plate. I couldn't get my knife through it, my friend was gallantly trying to shred it to no avail! Check back was fast and we said we couldn't eat the chicken as it was too hard, she apologised and said she would tell the chef. At this point I was wondering how the chicken had got in this state? Was it microwaved too long? How many times was it reheated? Would it be safe to eat..if we could? The waitress checked back again and we reiterated our complaint again she said she would tell the chef. We ate some of the trimmings but all three of us left most of the food. A waiter cleared our plates and again asked if everything was OK.. we explained our issues. He came back with the full bill and said the chef was sorry?.. we will not be returning

Excellent value for money, wonderful reception. Soo dog friendly !!! This pub has so much potential and the current owners are very committed.

Traditional Sunday lunch with some of the best desserts we’ve ever tasted. That sticky toffee pudding and jam roly poly were both incredible

We called in today (bank holiday Monday) and at first were disappointed with the reduced food menu (probably our fault for not checking) but all found something to order that we liked. The food when it arrived was superb. All freshly cooked to order and delicious. Service was excellent (although we were the only dining guests I think) but we really couldn't fault anything. Very friendly welcome too.

Dropped in here on a Saturday night, was made to feel welcome by the landlord and the staff from the moment we walked through the door. A very rare find in this day and age, proper home cooked food rather than the 'warm up' stuff you get in most chain pubs. It was very reasonably priced too, and a service that rivals many Michelin restaurants we've eaten in. If you want unpretentious food at a very fair price with amazing friendly service to boot, you can do a lot worse than here. We will be booking to stay at the hotel in May and if the restaurant experience is anything to go by, we're in for an amazing stay. Well done.

The woman behind the bar is extremely rude and unfriendly. She looked us up and down and ignored us when we said hello - blank stare, no words. Not welcoming at all, won’t return based on this.

We had a lovely, tasty meal and drinks. Waitress was accommodating as two of us asked to switch our chips and that was no problem. The service was quick. We had the pie, haddock and gammon meals and all were great. Only downside was that one of us was looking for a vegetarian meal and two of the veggie meals were crossed off the menu so not much choice for that person. We sat by the window, and near the fire which was warm and lovely to watch. Lovely, relaxed atmosphere.

Visited with family after a long walk- waited ages for our order to be taken- had to ask.Everyone just ordered sandwiches, after 55 minutes of waiting and enquiring 3 times our food finally came. I asked for bacon to be crispy, it certainly wasn’t, it was so chewy. The chicken was so dry- I left three quarters of it. The staff weren’t bothered or apologetic at all. Would not visit again and definitely not recommend.

Booked for 4 people, 1 a Bitter drinker Booked for 4 people who love Last of the summer wine . No Bitter available .Food times very short for a pub ,Had a very small room compared to family so why are we paying same price ?? No helpful information available . Can not recommend.

Dry, tasteless Sunday lunch - staff looked embarrassed at what they were serving. No one checked ‘how the meal was’ as suspect they knew. crumbly dry mash, not creamy, hard roasties, veg not seasoned and chicken was bland and rubbery. Not a difficult meal to get right!! Whole place Lacking in atmosphere. A vey disappointing visit.

I originally left this review on Google and since deleted it, amazing how quick you can be put off somewhere Lovely waiting staff, tasty, good hearty food, lovely pub and garden with a waterfall, would definitely recommend and will be returning. After going again recently after our first visit was nice, we went again for dinner, couldn't fault the fish and chips we had but! The two ladies that I think own run it, they really need to learn customer service, as they just had no personality, hardly smiled, when you asked them anything they looked like a rabbit in headlights, I asked for more hot water in my cappuccino as the cup was not full and at £2.75 I expect a full cup, I was told well you'll have to wait for the kettle to boil again, so clearly it's instant over priced coffees,my sons hot chocolate was definitely instant, and they forgot to bring the milk for my partners tea, and when I asked I got eyes rolled at me and huffed at, we had hoped we had found a little gem here but I think until the attitude changes of the staff no one will want to return, there is not even a greet when you walk in or a smile, always look at you like oh no a customer what do I do, you have to say to them shall I just sit anywhere! We won't be coming back and I'm pretty sure alot of people won't, regulars of the pub maybe but if they are looking to build it up and draw people in it won't work, as we felt unwanted and clearly a burden. Maybe who ever runs it is in the wrong industry. When I am paying my hard earned money in an establishment I expect to be treat well and not be made to feel like you've got the hump just for doing your job!

First class nothing was a problem breakfast was very filling roast dinner on Sunday extremely good even to booking us on the tour which was extremely knowledgeable highly rated definitely would book again

We stayed for 1 night on our way back down South. Great location and near to Last of the Summer Wine locations. Friendly owner and staff. Evening meal and breakfast both great, although too many chips for me to eat!!! The owners have only had...

Superb food and friendly welcoming staff / proprietors. Nice atmosphere and a comfortable pub. We enjoyed our meal so much we called by for lunch on our way back from holiday. Well worth navigating the leafy lanes to find and enjoy.

We received a very warm welcome from the landlady on our arrival. The room was very comfortable and clean, the food delicious, and my gluten free diet was catered for. Really enjoyed our stay, and we decided to stay longer for a Sunday roast too.

Came for a pint as we were told it featured in the tv show. It’s a lovely pub, clearly recently updated very comfortable and modern but still held the charm of the original pub with lots of links to the show. The landlady is lovely.

Lovely and clean .. excellent food and friendly staff . Beautiful area . Pleasant comfortable stay highly recommend

Isabel ward is the best bar lady at your pub. She serves lovely drinks and is very nice and kind and amazing

We went yesterday for an afternoon tea and they catered really well being as i am vegetarian. It was lovely, the staff were friendly and the food was delicious.

Warm welcome and a lovely interior Probably the nicest fish and chips I have eaten and my partner thoroughly enjoyed his pie. So glad we located it as it was in such an idyllic setting too.

We ate at the White Horse for their steak night. The food was excellent as were the staff. The atmosphere was relaxed but felt very safe in the current situation. We will return soon. Thank you for a lovely evening after months of lock down!

stayed here for 4 nights was a bit dubious at 1st because of social distancing, had absolutely nothing to worry about, we were either sat in separate room from other patrons or there was also plenty of outdoor space to sit, rooms were spotless food was excellent plenty of hand sanitiser in place all over the different areas in the building, staff were so friendly and the atmosphere was lovely our room had everything we required comfortable bed hot shower tea and coffee facilities and hubby was pleased he had a TV to watch sports....i will definitely go back here for a visit and stay over,have a lovely meal next to a roaring fire and enjoy a few glasses of wine from the extensive collection, I was also pleasantly surprised with their prices which were very reasonable,definitely a hidden gem in this lovely town

Stayed 4 nights welcomed warmly Food was amazing! Rooms were spotless comfortable and great value for money . Nothing is too much trouble for anyone at this establishment will definitely return!

Fabulous meal at Lunch time Fishn chips and cod and mussels dishes were both amazing tasty and plentiful. The setting is breath taking even in most weather with a lovely social distancing safe beer garden overlooking a river and weir. I ask to take a look round the hotel room's and they follow the same elegant comfy decor as the rest of this historical building.. Its well worth a drive out in sunshine or rain. Nicola and the team are wel owing and making sure they are keeping you as safe as possible. We will be back.

Great service pleasant owners couldn’t do more as i required a gluten free meal. The jus with my chicken meal was full of flavour. Lovely welcoming atmosphere!!

Called for tea with parents. Nikki the landlady took our booking and provided a friendly welcome. The fish and chips and pie and chips were great. Will be back again soon

Decided to book after calling in after a walk one Sunday afternoon. Booked for me and three friends to dine on a Friday evening. Absolutely delicious food, generous portions and great value. The young lad behind the bar served us at our table, excellent customer service skills. All in all, a great evening. The pub recently opened again and it would seem they are focusing on creating a cosy pub atmosphere and serving good home cooked food. Hope more people stumble upon it soon.

We called in here for Sunday lunch yesterday. The bar and serving staff are so polite and friendly they made us feel so welcome. The Sunday lunch was amazing really good quality and very good size portions. Would definitely recommend this place for food will definitely be back

Called today for sunday lunch. Looks to be a family run establishment with all the ingredients for an excellent place to eat, stay or both! From the welcome you receive to the service and quality of the food. Could not fault anything, we don't live close by, but will make the effort to visit as often as we can. looking forward to sitting outside in the spring.

We had done a walk, starting from Jackson Bridge, decided to "Chance" having a Sunday Lunch and glad we did. Food was excellent and we were made to feel vey welcome. Puddings with custard as part of a set price deal is always good.

Had xmas lunch at white horse on Sunday.. absolutely amazing food..1st class dining experience definitely be back again..great hosts well done to nikky & nigel so attentive. Good luck for the future

Decided to have a nice drive out to Holmfirth for the afternoon and stopped here for early dinner. The food was stunning, very fresh , tasty and lovely choices. We had pigs cheeks to start which was beautiful and roast beef and lamb mains which were cooked to perfection and very very tasty. The interior is lovely and relaxing as well as being very welcoming. We didn’t expect a lot , but this experience far exceeded our expections and we will be back. Definitely worth the 90 minute drive x

Brilliant pub food is amazing room is nice and cosy would definitely stay here again owners friendly and welcoming made our anniversary special would definitely recommend coming here and staying here thankyou for everything nigel & nicky x x x

We only stayed for one nightbut could have stayed longer.Hospitality wise it's perfect.the rooms are decorated to a high standard, the bed was so comfortable too.Lovely hosts who couldn't do enough for us.We had an evening meal and breakfast both where very good value and cooked to high standards.We will definitely be back.

Stayed here whilst going to a show at the Picturedrome. It’s a £5 taxi ride into Holmfirth. The pub is very clean and cosy , with great real ales. The room was clean and warm, with nice bedding. Breakfast was good.

Excellent small hotel / pub near Holmfirth. Evening meals and breakfast are good value for money and delicious. Great range of cask ales on the bar round off a perfect stay. Highly recommended.

Booked two rooms for family members now that it has re opened with new owners who were very polite and helpful and even let family check into the rooms early. The rooms are well appointed with good beds and the breakfasts were good quality and ample. Good selection of hand pumped beers in a bar area that is warm and friendly. I wish the new owners all the very best with their new venture and welcome to our village.

This place recently reopened and as we are locals want to support local business. For a Sunday the place was quite busy and the landlord had a chat with us which was nice, all the staff were very friendly and welcoming. They need to start doing food which should bring in more custom. Would definitely recommend this place and we will be back

Stayed here for one night .Congratulations to the new owners on offering first class hospitality .The room was beautiful and so comfortable.Nothing was too much trouble, even running us into Holmfirth for our concert .Would definitely return we felt very welcome.

Wow! Newly opened and under new management and amazing! In a beautiful location, this pub comes equipped with a log fire, lovely owners and welcoming locals. In the summer, watching the waterfall from the back of the pub will be incredible! If you’re in the area, this is the pub to walk to!

We had booked to stay here for the weekend. When we arrived the pub was closed, no sign of life and a for lease sign up.

Went in 2017 and stayed there 5 days.The landlady and her daughter ran the pub!; The cast of Summer wine memorabilia was on displayed openly ! Sadly the landlady was giving up the business due to lease problems ! It was great staying there and I do not know who runs it now or what theme it uses to encourage people

Dropped into this pub as we were driving around on holiday lovely place very good food indeed, all very well priced excellent service what else could you want. Keep up the good work you have an exceptionally nice public house.

Faced with the discovery that the pub we were aiming for had closed down, we found this place on TA and headed for it with crossed fingers as we were on a tight schedule. We were not disappointed. A lovely traditional pub, with a good ale selection. Friendly and helpful staff and the food was excellent. Wouldn’t hesitate to visit here again.
