The best restaurants in Birstall and Birkenshaw Kirklees Yorkshire and The Humber

We went to the Bruno Mars Tribute night yesterday, disappointing is an understatement, there were 6 of us and 2 of the guest were regulars, initial thoughts were that the restaurant looked inviting, décor was quite appropriate for an up market diner and the staff were pleasant. That's were the compliments stopped, the table service was slow, I ordered a simple G&T, three times she came back and asked if I could change it as they had run out of things, this was the start of the evening not the end. The Sea Bass Starter arrived and it was very well presented but over cooked, the Pork main course was very slow to arrive, but when it did it looked very nice but after tasting it, it was disappointing, fatty and stringy. I went to the bar and ordered 6 porn star cocktails, one for each of us, I was asked to pay £66 upfront for them, this felt very insulting, maybe the owner thought I was doing a dine and dash, now the group I was with are all very seasoned cocktail drinkers, but not one cocktail was finished, everyone of us after tasting them refused to drink them, they tasted disgusting. Normally I would just let this ride but having had the upfront payment debacle I decided I should mention this to the waitress, I very politely told her the situation and she assured us she would speak to the owner, that was the last we heard of it, not a sorry or even an offer to remake them, nothing. Shortly after this we left even before the act had finished. As a tribute act, Bruno Mars was great and the ladies loved him, as for the Dining it was so disappointing, the bill with a few drinks came to almost £700 for the 6 of us, in our opinion, not worth anything like that.

When i got to the til the lady behind the til gave off a unfriendly and judgemental energy that I didn't appreciate and then she asked for my order and I didn't think that she listened properly and started making it and was talking with her colleague not asking if I wanted anything else then eventually turned to me asked if I wanted a different coffee bean and if I wanted something else she I asked for an iced drink she gave me the warm version I said I asked for ice and she said I double checked it with you even though she didn't and gave me mucky looks when making my drink properly and then she asked if she gave me my food I said no gave me my drink and was bearing the most awkward hatred held eyes and the fakest smile ive ever seen I didn't appreciate any of her attitude or behaviour and when she gave me my drink she said it happens meaning mistakes happen and I was very tempted to tell her to listen to my full order next time before making it its easier taking the full order putting it on the til so you don't forget and then pay and then start the order why does cafe nero have to be so awkward on this way come on cafe nero we love you but you need to change your ways

tasty warm and plenty. best takeaway I've had in a long time

Really pleased this venue has reopened as Bunkers. We have visited 3 time so far: - Steak night, 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £40 is outstanding value. Service and food 👌 - Friday Fish & Chips - 2 for £20 again outstanding value. Again, service and food 👌 - Most recently (this morning) for Breakfast. Superb full English and friendly staff. Really hope the village gets behind this local business and give it a try.

Simply amazing food, and as I've since said to the rest of the family, the best restaurant around. As well as the above, the atmosphere and staff all make for a memorable experience.

Mouldy toast with full English, put us off eating the rest of it to be honest

Very disappointed with our recent trip here, my friend and I decided to have the 2 courses from 8.99 offer. Which we’ve had it previously and the portion size & the actual meal seemed so much better. We had garlic mushrooms for starter & fish & chips for main course. The fish was tiny I don’t even think it would fill a child let alone an adult, I went home hungry. We also heard the table next to us complaining. Saying that you can’t fault the carvery, I’ll be sticking with that in the future.

The staff need training particularly the bar staff

Great tasting wood fired Pizza! Relaxed atmosphere, reasonable price. Daniele the manager has excellent customer service skills and will do everything to make sure the customer is 100% happy. Our favourite pizza place.

Loveky atmosphere lovely staff so friendly was a private party, not sure if food is sold in general

Just been for coffee (and cake, of course!) with my elderly mum. The Dancing House is a lovely venue tucked away in a lovely setting, with a really interesting history. The coffee was excellent and the homemade cakes were delicious and generous portions. The service was friendly, accommodating and efficient. Will definitely be back for more! Thank you

This is no more. Closed some time ago Looks like was going to open as a Caribbean cafe but no work on it for some time

Hidden gem! Very good quality breakfast - full works of quality produce for £8.95 absolute steal.

Ideal place for enjoying various social time, ideal for sports events on tv , along with live music on selected weekends

We use rainbow house a lot the food is good and the staff and drivers too i would recommend the rainbow house if you are looking for some good food
