The best restaurants serving British food in Kirkburton Kirklees Yorkshire and The Humber

The Sun Inn was our lunch venue on a day when two parts of the family met up at the 'mid-point' between Glossop and Harrogate (sort of). Our plans to visit Howarth had been aborted at the last minute when the lunch venue rang to advise us they had had a catastrophe with their fridges and all food was off (quite literally I suppose). So my son (from the Glossop end) hastily researched when we could meet for lunch, and what we could do afterwards. The Sun Inn looked good in the photos and is a short distance from the Yorkshire Sculpture Park where we planned to go afterwards. Well what a pleasant surprise! The Sun is very welcoming, dog friendly, and there is a play area outside of which my granddaughters both took advantage. The food was exceptional, and all freshly home made. One of our number is a vegetarian and she said it was so good to have such a choice of vegetarian food. In fact so appetizing did the Mushroom Wellington sound, that I had that instead of a conventional meat based Sunday roast - it was delicious. For those with more conventional Sunday roast ideas, check out the positively mountainous Yorkshires. The portions are generous, reasonably priced, and the service is very attentive and friendly. The walk at YSP afterwards was necessary to get rid of a few calories.

We visited The Woodman tonight and asked if they had a table for two and the restaurant manager who we have met before was all too accommodating (as he always is). Found us a table, sat us down, took our coats. This man knows hospitality. I am yet to find better service in a restaurant. The two young staff working with him Eden and Kai were both very helpful, polite, professional and couldnt do enough for you. Food was brilliant. The setting is stunning. Couldnt have asked for a lovelier meal.
