Tupelo Bar & Bistro in Kirklees

Fantastic food and drink , visited in folk festival had the best time food is top quality staff are very attentive and look after you will be back again soon

A wonderful little gem. The atmosphere was calm and relaxed. The mackerel starter was full of flavour and enough for both of us to share. Staff were welcoming, friendly and warm. We had the vegetarian main courses- both were very tasty with depth of flavour. Would recommend highly. Thank you

Lovely restaurant with great service - all the food was fantastic and we were very well looked after by the friendly & helpful staff, also a good wine list. Would definitely recommend, we will be going again!

Bit of a hidden gem this one. The food is special, not that cheap, but actually worth it. We will be going back when we feel like we want a real treat.

Our accommodation didn't have a dining area or similar, so this place became our home-from-home during our stay in Holmfirth. Cosy, friendly with the most attentive staff imaginable. Great selection of wine, fabulous cocktails (two for one at certain times!), and the food is very good indeed - juiciest burger ever, and the mushroom risotto was out of this world. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant. And Henry, who loves beautiful women - some of the staff looked like ballet dancers - was in his element, lapped up the attention and dog treats on offer.

Fantastic food, lovely hosting, small wine list but tasty wines. Rack of lamb was particularly lovely and they catered for my partner who is vegan at the last minute. We will definitely be back!

My first visit, Arrived at 3.45 on a Sunday (kitchen shuts at 4pm), All staff were very accomodating & welcoming, Amy our hostess was very attentive & lovely, Owen the Chef made us a beautiful Steak Sandwich with caramelised onions & horseradish sauce & chips, it was to die for, I definitely recommend a visit.

Best hospitality we’ve had in the area for a long time! Lovely warm welcoming bar with excellent choice of cocktails and friendly staff. We then shared a selection of the small plates amongst our group - really tasty food and good combination of flavours. The staff were excellent. We will definitely return!

Unfortunately very average. In a really nice spot so we thought we’d give it a try but we won’t be returning - it’s a shame as the staff were nice, but the food is not worth the price. Burger came just with fries on the plate - no presentation or with no side salad or anything special, and the steak was £24 and most of it was fat and inedible. It was also not cooked to request. It tasted fine but for the price it was definitely not worth the money and there wasn’t much effort put into the meals. I think there needs to be a bit of a revamp to make the food seem worth the price!

Four of us visited very much anticipating a delicious meal having looked at the menu online a couple of weeks prior and making our booking based on the fact that there was loads of choice and several dishes we would definitely like to try. Looking again online the day before our visit there were no menus available which we thought a bit odd. Anyway we received a friendly welcome and were shown to our table upstairs. We sat for 10 minutes before the young guy serving took our drinks order but didn’t bring any menus. Eventually our drinks arrived and finally some tatty menus, some displaying prices, some not. We ordered two calamari, one pigeon breast and one soup. Enjoyed them all but the calamari could have done with a bit more seasoning. Main courses were two gnocchi and two fettuccini carbonara. The gnocchi was lovely, we all tasted and it was very nice. However the fettuccine was quite dry with very little sauce and not much flavour at all. No one checked if everything was ok or if we needed further drinks. Finally we asked for the dessert menu and were told we don’t have one, there’s only two choices, chocolate brownie and sticky toffee pudding. We decided not to bother. Surely a newly opened restaurant which describes itself as a luxury bistro with fine dining can do a bit better than this. We weren’t offered coffees and it felt a little bit like they were waiting for us to leave.

Having looked at the reviews for several restaurants in the area I booked an early table at tupelo. We were welcomed and seated by a lovely young lady who was very attentive and friendly, she told us there were several dishes on the menu not available (I would say we were probably the first evening diners so this was not a great start, however, as they were not dishes we would have chosen this didn’t actually matter). We ordered from the new Winter menu and waited with anticipation. This really was a tale of two halves: My wife ordered the belly Pork which was very nice and a decent portion size too, I ordered the King Scallops and was sadly disappointed, the Scallops themselves were cooked ok but there was a flavour I couldn't identify that overpowered everything on the plate with an earthy taste and frankly spoiled the dish - I did eat it but would certainly not recommend or order it again. Main courses arrived, again my wife’s dish, cod, was nicely presented and well cooked. I had ordered Beef Bourguignon which was simply a bowl of stew (I have had this dish in a lot of different restaurants and it has never been presented like this before), it lacked any depth of flavour and was probably 75% onions to 25% beef (not great value for a dish costing £18). The vegetables and mash were perfectly cooked. In total our meal was just over £100 - having eaten at a lot of restaurants over the years I would say that was overpriced by about £40. To sum up, if you order the right dishes you will have a nice meal however, I think that you can get better for less money within a few miles of here. We probably won’t return.

Lovely little restaurant, 2nd time of visiting, and the experience was just as good as the first time. Great menu choice, the autumn menu had just been launched so it was very welcome, hearty but not to much as to over fill you. All the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

First time visit , initial thoughts - slightly expensive !! But was well worth it , food was excellent , good menu with plenty of choices , great wine list. Friendly & knowledgable staff - a lovely evening , will definitely visit again

Fabulous food in a lovely restaurant in the centre of Holmfirth. Service was excellent. Good selection on the menu and nice choice of wines.

I booked my wife’s birthday celebration - she wanted a low key gathering of family and close friends, but nothing over the top. ‘Fabulous evening’, ‘awesome food’, ‘best food we’ve had in a restaurant for ages’ were just some of the comments, and one very happy birthday person! The food was brilliant, sharing platters, the staff were so attentive, everything was spot on!

Pleasantly surprised last time I visited, wedding anniversary for breakfast, this time it was lunch. The surprise pleasantly continued, my wife is gluten-free, I would estimate 75% of the menu is gluten-free, including week long fish and chips. I will literally eat anything, but it is rare that everything appeals on a menu, I can honestly say with no exception I could have eaten everything and in fact made a reasonable effort to do so having had three small plates for £22, great value for money. Each one was expertly prepared, so much so I commented specifically to the chef on his Lamb Keema Scotch egg !!! PS, I am more than happy to be a guinea pig when your new char grill arrives, I mentioned this to the owner!!!!

My wife and I went today to Tupelo for our final meal here in Holmfirth as heading home to Morecambe tomorrow. All I can say is an amazing evening with what I could only describe as exquisite food and excellent service. Starters of Nargis Kebab and Calamari arrived perfectly presented and the taste was perfect. Our Mains were 28 day Matured Fillet steak with trimmings and Chicken Schnitzel with fries. Again blown away by the standard and taste of the meals. Would sincerely recommend this place and we will go back when next here. Keep up the good work everyone!!

We booked this for a family and friends gathering to celebrate a birthday and requested catering for 22 people. Big big thanks to Ryan. Montana and the staff who not only provided a fantastic buffet but the service from Shea and the bar staff made it a day to remember. Everyone who attended made positive comments about the food and visit Tupelo to sample the menu. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to eat some quality food with great wines and cocktails.

Turned up four minutes before closing on a Monday evening. But staff were super accommodating and friendly. Fixed us a couple of well made espresso martinis (£9.50 each) and let us finish them at our leisure. Highly recommended.

Found by chance whilst staying close by. So glad we spotted as the food was a highlight of our 2 night break here. Food was cooked to perfection. Wednesday night steak night for 2 with a bottle of wine for £55 was excellent. Definitely recommend

Fab place, been twice while in Holmfirth food was fab staff were fab would highly recommend sat outside on both occasions but it’s lovely inside too

Daughter had the full English breakfast and I had the vegetarian one. Lovely, friendly staff. My food was too peppery for me - it seemed to have been added to almost everything on my plate.

Nice looking restaurant unfortunately the service was poor from the start had to ask 3 times for our drinks to finally arrive - starters were ok main course 1x burger can't really go wrong with that 2x tuna steak both badly over cooked 1 just...

Superb light lunch. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was excellent. As a frequent visitor to France, the croque madam served here was one of the best we have had.

Nicely decorated and welcoming staff. Food felt expensive for portion size. Example 1 portobello mushroom with sun dried tomato sauce and panko breadcrumbs..£11. ( not my first choice, but calamari were u available) House salad..mostly rocket and olives with extensive dressing that makes it soggy,...

Went here for drinks and a bite to eat. The people behind the bar were super friendly. We ordered 2 pizzas which were on the buy one get one free deal. They were spot on, really tasty. This place is such a great bar and...

It’s lovely to find a restaurant in Holmfirth that offers something a bit different. The menu was varied but not too extensive and I could have chosen anything on it and been happy. In the end I chose the scallops and the pork and they...

Great resturant, food and atmosphere. Two waiters Shey and Nathan need special recognition, not many places you get service like they delivered anymore. They are exceptional.

Booked for breakfast yesterday for 11 30 . 40 minutes wait for our drinks , we had to remind the waiters . 10 minutes later 2 of our four drinks arrived and we had to ask again for the other drinks . 1 hour later...

Whilst visiting friends I was recommended Tupelo's as a good place to eat and it did not disappoint, in fact it was so good I ate there twice during my five night stay! My first time was with a group of 6 and we ate...

Never been here before, but would strongly recommend this for breakfast, my wife thought this was the best full English she has had in quite some time. Beautiful accompanying champagne to celebrate our special day. Gluten-free bread. A great find

Visited with 4 friends on a weekend away. Starters took 45 minutes to arrive. Main courses all arrived separately. 2 steaks - both sent back as they weren’t cooked as had been requested. 5th meal still hadn’t arrived when the steaks were returned. One lot...

Celebrating our first wedding anniversary, we fancied somewhere different with a varied menu, and Tupelo did not disappoint! We had the scallops and the crab for starters, both were delicious, and whilst the portions were generous, neither dish was too heavy. We had the steak...

Gorgeous breakfast at Tupelo which was fantastic in both taste and appearance 😍 the attention to detail and finishing touches of jus drizzles and powder prettiness is what sets this place apart from the rest. Can’t wait to head back soon to try their various...

We had supper here to celebrate my daughters Phd and it was the perfect evening!!! The service was brilliant and the food was exceptional, the chef really does know how to cook fish, in particular the tuna. The 3 way pork was also amazing. Well...

Sword fish so undercooked was bleeding into the chickpea mash, staff took it back to the kitchen and quickly returned it saying it was okay to eat. Not nice did not offer an alternative and were not concerned that I found this unpleasant and did...

Fantastic food !!!! I had scallops starter and swordfish main. Had to wait for ice cream to accompany my dessert but totally not a problem with the way it was handled by the brilliant & lovely staff. Rosie was a star ⭐️ All round great...

We visited Tupelo on a Saturday evening for dinner and it was excellent. The beef gnocchi and the pork 3 way were both delicious! Cocktails are excellent too. The staff are really friendly and attentive. Tupelo is a great new addition to Holmfirth.

Being the last place in Holmfirth to get the evening sun is a bonus… Along with amazing food - I had pan fried cod with potato purée & roasted tomatoes & posh fries.. the wine list is great too. Service was great too - lovely...

Great little bar, lovely staff and fantastic outdoor seating area which we took advantage of. We were made welcome and will come back.

Chose a beautiful warm day in June to try Tupelo's. We sat outside and had a really wonderful meal. Paris looked after us extremely well, attentive without being over the top. We both started with Wild Musrooms on Sourdough. Delicious, each mushroom was discernible and...

Lovely food, good menu choice, helpful and polite staff, would definitely recommend for a bite eat or a few drinks in Holmfirth.

Excellent food. Great service. Member of staff Daisy was wonderful. Everybody was lovely food was amazing would definitely recommend.

Great place to eat. High quality menu. We both had the 28 day-aged fillet steak with fondant potatoes, a miso sauce. The steaks were fabulous and the veg were a perfect accompaniment. Cheesecake with sour cherries and cream to follow. Sublime. Highly recommended.

Absolutely fabulous food and atmosphere. Hubby had beef which he loved and I had the best pork 3 ways. It was amazing and would certainly have it again. The staff were really friendly and helpful which was really good. We will certainly be here again...

10/10 experience!! I couldn’t fault it, the food was lovely and the service was great!! A lovely spot for dinner.

Clearly we were in another restaurant as this is NOT fine dinning nor is it a Bistro. The staff are very good and trying hard but the food itself is very average and the whole experience comes nowhere near fine dinning standard. The far too...

Lovely place for lunch! Food was amazing and very chilled atmosphere. We were served by Abby who was nothing but attentive, polite and professional. Would highly recommend!

We had a drink on a previous meeting and booked in for dinner. The menu was great with a great selection of different and appealing dishes. I had the mushroom pasta and a great New Zealand wine. The atmosphere was great and we will be...

A great place to have fine dinning. The food was served to perfection and tasted delicious. Super menu choice. I would have preferred the food to have been served on hot plates as the plates were cold. Staff were extremely friendly and service was excellent....

What a lovely find. Stunning food in a perfect setting in the middle of Holmfirth. We'll definitely be back. Every dish was superb. Lovely cocktails too. The servers, bar staff and chef were super friendly and helpful.

We were so disappointed this morning. We had a drink here last night and it was absolutely perfect. The setting was amazing and the staff were friendly. We decided to go back for brunch this morning and we were extremely disappointed. We sat outside and...

Myself and my 12 year old and 16yr old ate at Tupelo last week and I have to say it was the best meal We have had in a while. My steak was amazing and the pasta and pizza the kids had was polished off...

My Mum & I came here for lunch a few weeks back. We were greeted with smiling faces and told to sit where ever we liked, we chose the high table near the window/door. The young man working behind the bar came over within a...

Gorgeous food and cocktails and beautifully decorated! A perfect new addition to Holmfirth, would recommend this place to anyone.

I recently visited Tupelo and had such a lovely evening. There was such a great atmosphere and the staff were all amazing and very accommodating. The food and drinks were incredible too. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant on my next visit to...

Always eager to try a new local place and it didnt dissapoint! Great menu choices and veggie options for my friend. Staff were lovely and cosy atmosphere. Will be returning soon with my family for lunch.

After a recent visit here with friends I would not hesitate to visit again! The attentiveness of the staff is next to none, we were looked after by a lovely gentleman called Nathan who couldn’t do enough to ensure our whole party was satisfied! The...

Me, my partner and mum came for breakfast. We walked in and sat down and was given a menu, we had to ask for a drinks menu and we was given a stubborn response which basically meant “we don’t have a drinks menu”. We waited...
