Wills O' Nats in Kirklees

From the moment we walked in on Tuesday we knew we were in for a treat. The entire experience was wonderful, from the delicious food to the attentive service from jay who appeared to be on his own that night to the charming ambiance.we will definitely be recommending this lovely place to our friends and family

Great friendly welcome, new managers I suspect stating been in a few weeks after Robins tenure from argumentative waitress to manager. Two corn beef pies with chips/ new potatoes but why oh why would you drone the food in gravy ? Serve in a gravy boat let the customer decide. When I mentioned this he just said oh next ask and we will serve separately. So he intends to drown other customers food orders. Never never never drown the meal ….such a shame. Beer great but the food so so spoilt. Now I moved away sadly I will not return as the standard has dropped. Great pub in desperate need of new seating. Sad to see Bobs passing recently.

I absolutely love this place . The staff are amazing, the food is amazing. The place to grab a pizza better than anywhere I’ve ever been . The prices are really good and amazing value for money. Ignore the complaints . You always will find someone that has something to moan about. I’m am 100% fussy with what I eat and this place never ever fails to deliver good food . Sometimes you wait a bit longer but isn’t that what happens when get good home cooked food. Keep the local pubs going. There isn’t many like this still around ❤️

This is the second time our family has had a Wake here and once again the staff and service was amazing. The chef provided an amazing choice of vegan options as well. We were all really impressed with everything.

Been here few times for a meal always been lovely until today I had chicken and leak pie , started to eat and found a bone in it unfortunately it put me off , told bar staff her response was will tell the chief, and least you kniw its home made very expensive new potatoes and vegetables certainty won't go again

Me and my other half visited today as never been before as he has and recommend. Staff where great and food didn't disappointed. Love how quiet and remote the pub is. Will defoo be back again.

Great value for a lunch, and the weather was surprisingly good so we could take advantage of the lovely location. Staff very helpful, pleasant and welcoming. Good guest ales.

Lovely food, Never disappoints, amazing service from libby and Robyn. Extremely kind and helpful, Highly recommend the pizza!

Booked a family Xmas feast meal most disappointed. Poor service meal not up to my expectations steak with no potatoes and pepper sauce just poured on not given the chance to put in on ourselves under cooked asked for well done. Prawn cocktails watery sauce Poor. Xmas pudding small like cheaply bought not made .service was very poor for drinks and food service. Won't be going back shame very ice place

We were in for a buffet after a funeral. Four of us are vegan. This was the best vegan buffet we have ever had. Some thought had gone into its preparation. Even the puddings (which were served for everyone) were vegan. The staff were helpful and went out of their way to ensure that verybody was looked after.

Seated no problem without booking in advance, although they were rather busy. Partner had the garlic mushrooms starter as a main due to having a large lunch earlier, and I had the fish and chips from the two for £15 menu. Ticked all the boxes, will hopefully return soon!

Visited in September with the wife and kids. Picky daughter had the vegetarian pasta bake, wife and other daughter shared a pizza and I had the smashed burger. Asked for an extra topping on the burger, was added with no problem but at an extra cost which was fine. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit

Disappointed is an understatement. I decided to take my sister and niece for lunch yesterday and was greeted by the manager who had horrendous manners. when it came to ordering food, my niece who YES is 17 but is autistic, asked if she could have chicken dippers from the children's menu but was abruptly told no because your older than 12. Its company policy!! I wasn't even allowed to pay for an adult version which doesn't make any sense at all. I didn't want to make a scene in front of people or upset my niece therefore i just ordered her a chicken burger but i found this service/policy disgusting. i appreciate not all disabilities have a label but the manager had no reason to be so rude and obnoxious towards us when all we wanted to do was have a nice meal together. Can truthfully say we will not be recommending this place to anyone whist run under such poor management.

A family get together as my family were visiting. We booked a table for 8 and were asked to pre order which we did. It was very busy when we arrived at seven as the early bird was just finishing. We had ordered off the full menu, still had a little time to wait which was fine. However, the meals were very disappointing. Dry steak. Cold roast beef, I had to ask for some warm gravy to help warm it up. Very poor food would not go back.

Myself and my husband came on a saturday evening on the spur of the moment. We have been plenty of times before but not for food. Its a very cosy , traditional pub with quite an extensive menu. As a vegetarian I was pleased to see that there was 5 veggie options not just the usual cheese and onion pie option a lot of places offer! I had the thai green curry and my husband opted for the steak. Although the service was a little slow considering how quiet it was (it was a proper rainy day) the food was piping hot and plentiful. We asked for the steak to be medium to well done but it was a little too much on the bloody side. Aside from that the food was excellent , tasty and well seasoned. Hubby was happy that the onion rings were the real deal and not the mush you would find in the freezer section in iceland. The staff were polite and friendly and we will be back to try something different in the future.

Taken to the Wills o Nats by my son and daughter in law. Very disappointed with my meal. Two Sunday lunches. No chicken on the menu. The veg was particularly disappointing, very hard and undercooked. Much better carveries in town.. Will be taking them there next time and not The Will's o Nats.

Very disappointed with tonight’s meal. Had to wait 35+ minutes for a kids roast, a beef dinner and a pie, once food had arrived it was very poor quality. Gravy was far too runny and looked like dishwater, beef was tough and over cooked, the mash didn’t taste of anything and the roast potatoes and chunky chips where still hard. The staff that were serving weren’t very helpful when asked if we enjoyed it and replied no they swapped waiters, which then needed a calculator to add up 2 items… very disappointing and won’t be back in a hurry

Spot of lunch on a sunny day sat outside Nice pint of Farmers Blond and decent hot roast beef sarnie with chips, generous serving Decent enough local pub in nice spot

We had family visit us from Antwerp, Belgium who had never had a proper Sunday Roast before with Yorkshire Pudding! Well they have now! They were so impressed as were we! Friendly staff, great food, good portions and nice location! We'll be back! Well recommended!

Probably the worst pub food I’ve ever had. Such a shame as it’s a lovely pub, we have been here many times and always enjoyed it previously. I got the giant yorkshire pudding with sausages, mash and veg and my partner got the fish and chips. The yorkshire pudding was clearly a frozen one which has no taste at all and was soggy, it came with no veg, awful mash and the thinnest gravy ever. I asked where the veg was, the waitress was very confused and asked if I wanted some on the side, I had to explain that the dish came with ‘seasonal veg and peas’, she brought it back with a tiny amount of veg but no peas. Not worth £13 at all. The fish and chips were awful. Would never go back for food unfortunately.

We called in tonight with our 2 grandchildren for tea ! My husband had fish and chips ! I had a turkey roast dinner ! The children had chicken strips , chips and peas and the other a small turkey dinner ! The food all tasted as though it had been warmed up from lunchtime . The chips with the fish and chicken strips were inedible soggy and wet inside ! The roast potatoes were the same just awful soggy and tasteless ! My husband ate his fish because he never leaves anything but once outside he told me it was undercooked inside and mostly batter . We left the majority of our food ! I took the turkey home for the dog and he turned his nose up at it !! We ended up eating in Morrisons! We won’t be coming back any time soon ! Ps. We are not fussy eaters l was a nurse for 40 years eating hospital food most of that time which was 5 star compared to this place —AVOID

Absolutely lovely , food brilliant, good service, value for money, clean and friendly, would highly recommend

The food here is not good. It’s such a shame as we love coming for the outside space and okay area for the kids. I had been told by a friend not to touch the food ‘with a barge pile’ but decided to get something quick as we were starving and the kids were having fun. Safe to say, as others have said , Get a new chef! The food is poor for the price and the service is not great. To be honest I think the only place keeping this pub going is the great outdoor space and cosy pub environment for drinkers. DO NOT EAT HERE!

Fantastic place to go for a family day out. Loads of space in the garden and fabulous staff ! Really good selection of beers and food menu is really good. Quick and friendly service !! Highly recommended !!

Disappointed with today’s visit have been here plenty of times before and the food has always been spot on. Not been since the previous owners left but today wasn’t good. I usually have the beef and ale pie which is always amazing, melt in the mouth beef but today was full of gristle and very chewy.. partner had the fish which he said wasn’t as good as before. Also had a child’s portion of lasagne which was good. Chips were good, that’s given it 3 stars! Might give it benefit of the doubt and try again, won’t be for a while though

Beautiful food in a lovely setting The food was tasty and freshly cooked. Service was great and Robyn was friendly and helpful. Beautiful burgers onion rings and chips all cooked really well :)

Went at 12 o clock, only a few tables taken. Waited 20 minutes for a drink. 50 minutes later still waiting to order our food even though we had asked numerous times if someone could take our order. Would love to be able to comment on the food but obviously cannot. Conclusion - don’t bother.

Went out for tea the first time in ages ...chose Wills as local and we could walk .Had to wait a long time to be placed on a table, long time to get drinks order and food.Food came ...very small portions ..only 10 chips :(Problem with card machine Day after had been billed 3 times for meal - rang and was told that was incorrect ...then was told I was correct ..Not great Wills ...won't be going back , sorry :(

Very friendly & welcoming staff. Great service. Went for the early bird which was excellent value however they had already run out of some items, still a good selection though & with the eat out to help out an absolute bargain. Excellent Covid measures in place with plenty of space.We will return.

One of our nearest pubs. Fully booked so they must be doing something right. Food was excellent (the food was scorching hot), service was great and efficient service.

Absolutely terrible food today and very disappointed as have had good food here before. Not sure if the cook is different but something is not right in the kitchen here anymore the meat was as tough as old boots, the cabbage raw and the turnip translucent. The waiting staff were lovely, but seriously, it’s the worst Sunday lunch I’ve ever eaten and the overpriced white wine tasted like vinegar.

Booked a meal here for dinner .very good menu plenty of choice ,the food was very good plenty of it ,and homemade .I had the lasagna , couldn't fault it ,wife had the corned beef pie also very good .Apple pie for after , although I wished I had had the ginger sponge maybe next time .

Great pub for drinks Food is very good Staff friendly A nice cosy pub ideal for walk and has a nice fire for the winter Well worth a visit

Coming from the south to visit elderly family. We took our elderly grand parents (both in their 90s) and our 2 year old daugther. The people that worked there were friendly and helpful which helped create a lovely, warm atmosphere.The food took a little while to arrive but could not complain as the service made up for any delay in the food. Amelia was very helpful and accommodating to the needs of our elderly grand parents and two year old daugther.We ordered 4 meals and a kids meal....the meal I personally ate was lovely and felt very genuine and homemade, there was no complaints from the other 3 meals. Sadly, my elderly grand father felt like the Yorkshire wrap was a little tough so the feedback was provided to Amelia, who fed it straight back to kitchen and, unexpectedly, it was removed from our bill without hesitation. Unlike other restaurants who weve had similar issues at, the guys at Wills O'Nats handled the feedback amazingly and so professionalHighly recommend, a credit to the area. We will be visiting again.Thank you Wills, keep up the good work.

Nice warm friendly pub very very dissatisfy with the food hot beef sandwich,veggie sandwich how can you go wrong?

My friend who, unlike me, had not visited before was mightily impressed with the dining experience when we called in for lunch halfway through a bracing walk around Blackmoorfoot Reservoir. It is warm and welcoming especially on a chilly December day and, with two meals on the early bird menu, priced at just £11, excellent value. I enjoyed fish, chips and garden peas while my friend opted for a gigantic tuna baguette accompanied with a portion of delicious onion rings. With two J2 O's, hygienically served, the bill came to a very acceptable, £17.15. While we there a party of 14 visited and they were quickly served with a variety of dishes from the extensive menu. I can highly recommend this establishment whatever the reason for your visit though I am glad I could walk off the generous meal that I enjoyed.

My family and I come here all the time, excellent food, excellent service and great prices. Lots of options on food and drink.

Came to meet up with some friends and as they are based in the area we chose this place. Luckily for us we chose a Sunday - simply put, we had one of the best Sunday roasts ever! The place has a brilliant old world atmosphere which is sorely missed in most pubs nowadays, the beer and lager I tried were excellent and varied and the prices were very reasonable elsewhere.Shall be back soon, thanks all!

we visited the Will O Nats on Sunday 3rd of November 1919 at 6pm, our last visit was Saturday 24/09/2017,as we gave it a bad review, decided to give it another try, surely it had changed in the past two years,when we walked in we noticed the carvery was still open, I walked over and asked if we could have a carvery, was told no it closed at six, if we ordered a carvery at the bar we could have one. we found a table for four and I went to the bar and ordered the drinks and picked up a menu, my daughter and grandson ordered the vegetarian lasagne, my wife and I ordered the carvery, our meals came half hour later, the lasagnes came first and looked nice, when our carverys came what a let down they looked like it was the leavings from the lunch time carvery, totally inedible, we did make an attempt to start, the meat was tough the roasters were cold and very hard, we called the waitress over and complained, she removed the two plates of food and came back to see if we wanted to order something else, we did not receive an apology for the poor quality of the carverys. we said we would order the scampi and chips, when the scampi arrived we noticed they had overdone them and when we tried the chips they were cold, we did eat the scampi but left the rest. when I was paying the bill I said to the owner that the carverys should not have been served to us, she offered no apology, in fact it was as if I hadn't spoken to her. She made no comment whatsoever, in my previous review I mentioned how noisy it was in the bar area, on our visit this time we still had to suffer the over loud drinkers in the bar area. the only thing that stopped the night being a complete failure, my daughter and grandson enyoyed the lasagne.

Been many times ..allways good food and good value.just been for early bird menu had roast of the day 10out of 10 never had a bad meal

Four of us were seated in an almost empty room right next to the only other four people in there...when we asked to move the waitress moaned she was now going to have to get some MORE knives and forks out.We chose early bird. The roast dinner and the sausages and mash were plentiful. The two chilli con carnes with rice were not. Tiny portions, tasteless and runny.My friend asked for mint sauce to go with the lamb. The waiter brought tartar sauce. An average experience. Unlikely to go back.

Visited this pub on the 28th with a party of 15 other people. We all enjoyed the food, massive portions, friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble. We ill all be going back very soon.

Very basically decorated pub. Dirt cheap range of beer on offer and a gypsy behind the bar blurting out that they close at 3pm, on a Friday.

Just been to the Wills for tea. Go there every so often and usually pretty good but today was terrible.

Called in today for lunch...Oh dear, shocking food. My husband had giant Yorkshire pudding which was half an inch thick and the base was like concrete, turnip almost raw and the gravy was like water. Myself and my daughter had supposedly home made fishcakes that were like potato cakes...hardly a flake of fish in sight! We were the last people to be served and the chef was seen running to a taxi shortly after! Obviously, no time to turn out decent food... somewhere much more important to go!

I visited here for lunch on a day visit to the region on business. Found a menu on the bar and was able to order immediately before taking a table. I chose the scampi chips and peas at £11.95 although was also offered the early bird portion at £6. There was a good helping of tasty scampi (11 pieces) and chips but a very small serving of peas which was a bit disappointing. Washed down with an excellent pint of Landlord!

We called whilst out walking. Bands were playing in the car park as it was Wills Fest which we didn’t know but it was very good. It was very busy but the atmosphere was very good. Good choice of beers and lagers behind the bar, staff coped very well with all the people queuing and didn’t take long to get served. We enjoyed our stay

Visited recently for a late Sunday Lunch. Good job we had booked a table, it was packed. Amazing choice of foods. Carvery looked tasty. The Yorkshire Pudding wrap, is definitely worth a try. Like a Sunday lunch wrapped in a Yorkshire Pudding, but like a giant Sausage roll. The waiting staff, although all young, knew what they were doing and looked after us well, clearing plates etc quickly and efficiently. Have visited during the week lots of times, but will definitely go back for another Sunday treat. We found one disabled parking spot, which was difficult to reverse out of when car park was full.

Been many times for early menu at teatime .cannot fault it food always lovely and good value for money

The service was very poor this evening by the waiter..looking vacant at you and also bringing condiments when you've more or less eaten your meal..No smiling staff either..this pub was never like this.. they need to seriously make changes

Stopped over on the way back to Manchester and had a fantastic meal. Beers were also good and a very fine selection of gins. They have a Quiz on a Sunday night and it was fun and informative!

Called in for Sunday lunch on a walk on the highly recommended Meltham Way. I think we were the only walkers. Everyone else seemed to be in multi-generational family groups. You should book in advance as it's very popular and packed from 1pm. We hadn't booked but arrived early and managed to get what I think was the last free table.

Visited for an early evening meal, and whilst the food was of an ok standard, the meal was completely ruined by us having to listen to one waitress incessantly morning about her ex boyfriend, her snapchat and the fact that she had been bar training all week for ‘no pay’ over and over again for an hour and a half. I appreciate the waitress station is situated in the restaurant but please ask your staff to remain professional and to consider the fact that adults have come out for a nice evening meal and not to listen to conversations that would be suited to a playground...not impressive

I had to write this review because after all this time it’s still a long running joke with my friends at how bad everything was. Absolutely no jokes and no positives about this hole!

The Wills O' Nats is on a lonely road high above Meltham but is worth seeking out. Although there were no houses in sight, there were still a group of regulars enjoying their lunchtime pints. We ate in the bar area on a table next to the real fire.

Had a lovely meal with my family. We had the Xmas menu. The starters were really different and tasty. The mains were very good size and delicious. The desserts were great. Large in size. But lovely. The staff were excellent. Very helpful and asked if we wanted anything. Great service. We will go back no problem.

Everything about the visit was outstanding, from the warm welcome, to the brilliant decor and superb quality of the food and drinks at very reasonable prices that will certainly make for a prompt return. This pub, situated in glorious countryside near to the Pennine village of Meltham, is an oasis in the neighbourhood and was an ideal establishment to visit on a chilly December day with the warm log fire so welcoming that made the food taste even better. Our party of three all sampled different meals from the varied menu. I had the fish cake, my brother-in-law the scampi while my sister was full of praise for the quality and freshness of the corned beef pie which came with an extra serving of delicious gravy. Two of these meals came at the great value price of £11 for the pair.. Two of my party travelled from Liverpool for the day and I am sure they will agree it was worth of every mile of the journey while I have it on good authority that the pint of Black Sheep Ale that my brother in law sampled was first class and a fine servant to the excellent food.

Where to start, the positive is that if you go for the early bird its cheap, however if you go after 7, its certainly not cheap and the quality of the food is poor. My partner had sausage and mash and the sausage was one of those disgusting long sausages that has little or no meat in it. The pub is very tired and looks desperate for a refurb. The owners are elderly and look ready to pack in, maybe when they go there will be changes in the same way as has happened at the Travellers Rest. It was cheap nbut not value for money, doubt we will be going back.

Last night of our 8 day trip. Lovely friendly staff and great food. Level parking for our motorhome. Highly recommend

The food was delicious and the portion sizes are huge! The lamb was beautifully cooked booked with fresh veg, the burger was amazing and my partner had the fish and chips which he loved. Great choice on the kids menu too. Will definitely be going back. Thank you

Traditional home cooked food. The pub is nothing fancy but the food is really nice and filling. I had the liver and onions, the best I've had. Lots of the group opted for the Yorkshire puddings with various fillings. All of us ate everything and there were no complaints from the 14 in our group. Good comfort food.

We were cold and hungry and found this pub by chance after travelling from Manchester. We were too early to book into our hotel so stopped for a bit of lunch. We went in from the car park through what could only be described as the cosy room with a big roaring fire and about 4 dogs sitting around with owners. It felt so welcoming. We walked through to the carvery area and found the food to be hearty, healthy ,huge portions . It was served by very pleasant and friendly staff. We all enjoyed it and were pleased to have found this gem.

Went today with a friend and had the 3 course carvery meal for £15

Food good reasonable priced you have to have the starter Yorkshire puddings n onion gravy and the cornbeef pie lovely

We propped in for some dinner after visiting the village and went for a walk round the reservoir afterwards, the staff were ok lovely open fire, the food was decidedly average which is a shame

Decided to call in before shopping

Visited here recently with afew friends, Was waiting around to be seated for a while,however food was gorgeous and had an extremely polite and well greeting young waiter serving us (around age 15)! Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a cheap but high quality meal! Location is nice aswell

We went for an early bird meal and found the place a little unwelcoming. The early bird menu is good value but don’t expect gourmet food.

Very disappointed, from the offset as we walked in to the pub we were waiting for at least two minutes and were still not greeted by any member of staff despite our clear presence, as I said to the girl behind the bar were here for the Sunday carvery she responded with an abrupt “HAVE YOU BOOKED?!” And as I said hello to a member of staff who I actually know I was mimicked by one waitress. Replied yes; we were then sat down by a member of staff on a table that was tiny up against a wall, never mind the menu and table looking like it was from the 1960s we ordered drinks, in which my girlfriends drink came wrong as she ordered a black currant and lemonade but came just as blackcurrent, but we ignored it... after an already unwelcoming start we got our food and we’re met with more unfriendly conversation from the chef behind the carvery who to say was unenthusiastic is an understatement - service with a smile? I think not. As we were eating we didn’t notice anything nice or special about the food aswell as an unpleasant stuffing. Throughout all this the staff who all appear to be about 15 years old or younger and also act that age were talking loudly right behind us and even one waitress proceeded to eat crisps and chocolate; unprofessional is an understatement, young staff aren’t a problem however staff who act around 10 years old are. To top it all off the bill was over the price it should have been and a drink had to be changed, will not be reterning.

We like the location very much but the Sunday carvery was diabolical. I hacked and hacked at my beef but wasn’t successful, I didn’t eat more than a sliver which was all I could cut. And that tiny bit was chewy and impossible to swallow. I ended up with veg only. This I could have enjoyed if there’d been a decent choice but it was incredibly unimaginative. Just carrots, swede and courgettes. On the whole a tasteless dinner. But they got our money! So they’re happy

Thought we'd give this one last try for a birthday meal. Kitchen and table service seemed to be run by a bunch of unenthusiastic, unsmiling teenagers so it was no surprise that the standard of the food has slipped even further. I ordered the salmon as I am on a diet - it was horrendous. A dry lump of fish, 4 tiny new potatoes and a salad so poor I actually laughed out loud - accompanied by a 'hollandaise' sauce that resembled Birds custard with a suitably scary crust. Should have sent it back but judging by other reviews it would have been a pointless exercise. Ate it as I was starving and was still starving afterwards but couldn't face the sauce - took it home to fill some holes in the garden wall. I don't care if this review gets a withering response - you know how substandard your food is but keep churning it out so 1 star is generous and this review is well-deserved.

Just visited on a Monday evening at 7ish. Very few in. In fact more young girl staff than customers it seemed. Was akin to schoolroom with giggles and chatter. I ordered a steak pie that arrived piping hot. Do hot in fact that it could not be eaten. The top layer of meat was burnt and like leather. Being a tad hungry I ate the lower layers, once they cooled sufficiently not to burn ones mouth. Once finished the plates were cleared and we were asked if we had enjoyed our meals. I said I hadn't and pointed to the evidence neatly laid out on the plate. Oh I'm so sorry said the waitress and left. She told no one in authority and promptly went back to discussing eyelashes with the rest of the class!

The Wills O' Nats is a little bit out of the way in the wilds above Huddersfield but it is easy enough to find (aand the trip is worthwhile).

Food great and so much of it. Staff more than welcoming. Birthday party of 13 were looked after brilliantly. Thanks to all the staff at the Wills for a great meal.

Went for tea to will 'o' nats and ordered a prawn sandwich and chips. The food arrived after a long wait. The baguette was HOT with COLD prawns accompanied with onion rings and very burnt chips. Not a nice combination and not edible. Left it all. Would not recommend.

This pub seriously needs to stop serving pizza... we tried two and both were bland and cooked badly. The ingredients tasted cheap and lacking in any kind of quality. The landlady took almost a full pizza away and it was clear something was wrong but she chose not to ask- so I politely indicated it wasn't very good but all to no avail. Chips seemed to be more than tripple cooked and again soft, greesy, bendy and well overdone... not good!

Really good. Plunged for the burger which is great for those with a big appetite. Massive it is with proper chips. We also had a really nice pizza and the carvery.

What a great day - Glorious weather, good bands - Roll on the next one. It was madness but in a good way. Great to see a pub overflowing with people rather than seeing them shutdown all the time. As a member of staff who...

As alway it was another fantastic event put on by Bob and Joyce, plenty of parking with the choice to leave your cars overnight (bonus) the bands were fab and well what can I say about the staff ‘they just work their butts off from start to finish and should be so proud of themselves’

Would just like to say that the staff at the Wils o nats band do all worked hard and always have under pressure the bands are prepared in advance by bob luty and Joyce luty and all staff muck in as a team to offer the best service as possible the food is outstanding and hand pulled beer is kept to high standards with a good range on offer along with staff always offering a nice welcoming smile the pub is cleaned and kept in a very clean state to high standards these guys work hard under pressure and don't need criticism good on you all keep up the good work

What a great day to spend in the sun with friends. Great band, selection of good music. Food was great and good prices was really busy nice to see staff serving with smiles. Well done to staff who put on a fab event. Will defiantly...

Was going got told about the horrendous queuing completely agree with other reviews poor planning trying to do everything on the cheap whilst trying to maximise profit won't go again like many of my friends went to the travellers and enjoyed it better

Wills Fest on Sat 6th May. What a complete nightmare. Glorious sunny weather, perfect. Bands good. Queuing, yes queuing half way across the car park for drinks for at least HALF AN HOUR, completely UNDER STAFFED....ridiculous when people do respect the no bringing your own drinks rule here, horrendous, the outside bar couldn’t cope either.

Called in on a Monday evening. A few customers were in the traditional bar area with open fire. We went in restaurant room, which was fairly quiet as midweek. We tried the Yorkshire Wrap with roast beef and the steak and ale pie. Good sized portions and reasonable price. Liked the Golden Ale - think it was the Amarillo, though can't remember to be honest. Will definitely return.

After having previously really enjoyed a Sunday lunch here, I’m afraid today’s experience was a massive culinary let down. As usual the beef was lovely but the rest left a great deal to be desired. In my opinion a traditional carvery Sunday lunch comprises good...

for £11 for two meals, this was really good value for money, service was good I asked for fish without batter and this was done without any fuss, would definitely visit again if in the area

My wife and I booked a table earlier in the day although the pub wasn't very busy given it was Tuesday night. We ordered drinks and also ordered food - I ordered the very large Fish and Chips and my wife ordered the Minty lamb....

We popped in for an early tea on a Saturday night and were given a table no problem without booking. Staff were friendly, knowledgable and attentive. The bacon and black pudding starter was delicious, the fish and chips huge and plentiful and the Italian pie...

Glad we booked as the place was packed at 3pm. Warm cosy fire and dog friendly bar. The restaurant area is separate. Enjoyed a Sunday roast with family. Choice of meats and all the trimmings. You can have 1, 2 or 3 courses for a...

Large group of us went up, quite a lot of complaints from the group, starter cold, main over cooked, had chicken with bacon cheese bbq sauce, was like all welded together and tough, my friend left hers..

Came there just by mistake on a business trip in Meltham. Good atmosphere and the food was good and more than generous.

A last minute whim brought us here for food and wine over the Christmas break. I ordered a hot beef baguette with a side order of chips, which were homemade! The Sandwich was like a meal in itself! My friends had pizza and vegetarian lasagne,...

Ate here for the first time this evening. My partner carefully selected from the menu as there are several things she can’t/doesn’t like to eat. The risotto with sun blushed tomato dish (minus the chicken) seemed like a great choice. Food arrives and there’s a...

Disappointed with our visit... Beef on the carvery was still dripping with blood and very very pink (I like it on the rarer side, but prefer it to have stopped moo’ing!) Yorkshire puddings were hard and cold, veg lovely - but only carrots and cabbage....

Decided to go out for a pub lunch on a Friday with my boyfriend and had a lovely home-cooked meal...

Called in recently for lunch after mainly having drinks visits decided for the roast the place was busy .Having found...

I enjoyed my carvery at the wills. I had a huge plate of food with various accompaniments to my roast pork/turkey. I was very impressed with the food here as I hadn't been before for the carvery. We visited around 12:30 Sunday lunchtime, and everything was particularly good. You can have as much as you like at the one serving but managed to stuff myself nicely. Top marks!

We have been to this pub for meals once a month for several years, when we visit our daughter and son in law and the two grand children who live in Melham, we went for a meal on Saturday 24/9/17 and i'm sorry to say it was the worst experience we have had in any eating place. The bar was taken up by a group of six local drunks who had no regards or consideration for the rest of the diners in the pub, shouting at the top of their voices, the manger made no attempt to ask them to calm down, in fact he was on good terms with the group, to try and have a conversation at our table was impossible. and to ruin the evening completely the food was of very poor quality, and expensive for what it was, needless to say we will not be going there again.

We called on Sunday lunch, but didn't want roast dinner, so just ordered sandwiches off the main menu, together with a portion of chips. The portions were really large, which meant for £15 we had the equivalent of two full meals, which is excellent value.

Sorry but £1`.80 for a mixer bottle of tonic water is just plain greedy and a rip off.Went in another pub afterwards and was charged £1.10 for the same drink.
