The best restaurants serving British food in Holme Valley South Kirklees Yorkshire and The Humber

The Nook is a very grim and dark pub. Everything is so morbid and depressing. The staff are miserable and abrupt. Could do with a deep clean. Brings down the vibrant town of Holmfirth.

We came for a meal, one of us had a steak that really was a piece of steak on a plate with fries nothing else, when the bill came they added a gratuity to the bill saying to ask when paying to have removed we asked this to be told it can't be taken off, surly tips should be discretionary not expected

I'm unsure where these other reviewers have been because I can't believe it's the same place I've been going to for the last 7 years... Brooklands Nurseries is the kind of place where you get exactly what you pay for, that is of course if you want a hot, filling meal and friendly staff welcoming you. The views are spectacular, it makes you proud to be in one of the most underrated places in Yorkshire. My favourite and go to meal is the hot chicken and stuffing sandwich and chips. It is genuinely the only cafe I've ever been too which offers this on the menu and it keeps me coming back time and time again. The chicken is always succulent, the gravy thick and tasty and the stuffing is fluffy and seasoned to perfection. If this alone doesn't sell this place to you then hold onto your hats... Not only do they have fantastic proper Yorkshire views but they have created a home for different types of wildlife with the pond and animal enclosures including Swans, Geese, Chickens, Ducks and Wallabies. I've seen people comment that it feels like they're kept in a back garden and maybe that is the vibe as you walk up but surely Chester Zoo and Beaumont Park were someone's back garden once? I feel like with some patience this little haven for these animals can only grow and I personally love being able to feed them and watch them as I eat. Not only this but they offer trail guides to anyone who is a walking/hiking enthusiast, I personally enjoy the walk down to Holmfirth after my meal to go and look at all the fantastic charity shops and scenic views Holmfirth also has to offer. I have been to Brooklands Nurseries on the sunniest, most glorious days and enjoyed sitting outside enjoying the fresh air. I have also been on the wettest, foggiest days and enjoyed the cosy atmosphere inside chatting with the ladies who run the cafe. For anyone who is in the Holmfirth area, I would definitely recommend jumping on the 310 bus up to Scholes and take a walk left along the road from the pub. Stop in and say hello to Brooklands Nurseries and I can guarantee you, you won't be disappointed!

Bought the winter warmer package and boy was it good value for money! The tour was very informative, the wines were lovely. Due to it being the dormant season the vines had no grapes to see. But it is freezing January so to be expected. 2 of the wines we tried had sold out, which was a shame but totally shows the popularity. I’ll have to go back in April at harvest season All the staff were so welcoming and tentative. We had steak and it was gorgeous with fat yummy chips. Def coming back. For £87.50 each we had wine tasting, evening meal (£25 pp allocation), overnight stay (the apartments are modern and stylish) and full on breakfast in the morning. The views are to die for and the venue itself is really chic. Looking forward to a return visit.

We booked a meal here after reading good reviews and we were not disappointed! The staff could not be more friendly or attentive and the bar/restaurant was so warm and welcoming as we arrived during cold, wet and windy weather. The beautiful old open fire was especially welcome. Everything we had was delicious- good quality home cooked food. We really can’t fault anything at all and will certainly be back. Our only regret was that we couldn’t stay longer as we had to get to an event in Holmfirth. Next time we’ll stay for pudding and a few more drinks too!

Called in today for lunch, having never been before we didn't know what to expect We were greeted very pleasantly by a lovely lady and took a seat The menu is good with plenty to choose from and we opted for the sharing fish platter Now this is where the wow comes in, it was HUGE. All beautifully cooked and fresh, delicious pieces of lightly batters fish with accompaniments. There is enough in the platter for 4 people and as there were only 2 of us we had a great doggy bag to take home for our teenage son. We will definitely be back to try the Mexican platter recommended by the lovely lady at the bar, and highly recommend this lovely country pub.

This is only the 2nd time i have been, but the food was just as amazing as last time, it was hot, fresh and beautiful, the apple pie ( locally baked) and custard was so tasty, and the staff brilliant, beth who served in the restaurant was extremely cheerful and chatty, took time to get to chat with customers, and always had a smile on her face, the other staff were fantastic too, but we didn't catch their names. KEEP IT UP
