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

I have attended a few times with my family on a weekend after falling out with the place previously last year.. EVERYTHING is better… I usually have a breakfast or a sandwich but my partner has whatever lovely special is on offer without hesitation. He had an amazing lamb burger a couple of weeks ago, then this week had a “Cubano sandwich” and WOW! None of them disappointed. This week we also divulged into taking home a piece of cookie pie(not sure if they bake them in the kitchen there or somewhere else) If you love chocolate I recommend getting one because they are to die for too. The service could use a little work in terms of attentiveness but overall were much better than the last time we attended. Take a bow cooks! This place seems to be heading in the right direction and will now recommend to anyone!

We visited for new year's eve and we were so disappointed. I've seen people recommend this place time and time again & with the £50pp price tag on the 3 course menu we expected good things. From start to finish it was poor. It took over 10 minutes for someone to come and take a drink order and then they wanted food orders at the same time (all 3 courses). We ordered tap water which never arrived. The food came out really quick so we felt quite rushed. Not enough time between courses. When the food did arrive it was poor quality, the meat was chewy & fatty and portions were small for the hefty price tag. The menu wasn't even the same as the one advertised online. After our desserts we still had drinks to finish, our booking said that we would have 2 hours on the table on it however, 1 hour 15 minutes after arriving we were asked to move to the bar with our drinks because they needed the table (hey had clearly over booked). The bar was far too busy to even stand in so we had to stand in a corner and finish our drinks. At the start we asked to put our coats on the hangers and they were piled on top of so much that it took us 10 minutes to find them and the help of a staff member with their phone torch. The whole place is so cramped, there's barely any room to move around. Music was blaring, more like a club than a restaurant, we couldn't hear each other talk. Such a disappointing experience, our first time visiting, we won't be back that's for sure.

This was our 4th outing to this superb restaurant for Sunday lunch. Our friends were as impressed as we were once again. The food was outstanding, the service exemplary and we could not have been treated any more like VIP’s by Francis and his team. The entire experience was indeed just wonderful and we will be back again very soon. Thank you everyone. You’re true professionals.

What a fantastic breakfast, lovley quality produce , it was quite busy but didn’t have to wait two long for a table. Fab service and what a view from the windows 😊

We had a lovely evening here. Upon arrival the pub was clean and welcoming. Myself, my mother and my daughter came and the staff were so lovely and assertive. The food was really nice, we came in here as we were visiting the area and we would definitely come again.

Took my daughter out for a late Sunday roast and we weren’t disappointed. We both had the beef and it was delicious and a generous portion. Staff were really friendly and helpful and the views were amazing. The price was really reasonable and we will both definitely be back to this gem.

I visit this cafe regular with residents I look after at the dementia home I work in. They are always so friendly and helping in any way they can to give our residents the best service when there. If I ever want to go all i need to do it ring and reserve a couple of seats on the ground floor. Fantastic place with fantastic staff

First time visit at the end of a local walk. Staff very friendly and service excellent. Had a bacon & sausage sandwich in a brown teacake. Excellent bread - a proper teacake - not a bap. Mug of tea & milk jug. £3.60. All very clean & tidy. Extensive menu including a pensioner's special. It's not local to us or I would be a regular!

Como local que en ocasiones llevar a casa el no tan pequeño, pensionistas y peces para niños. Ahora recién cocinado la calidad permanece coherente.

My brother organised a family Xmas meal for today (28th December), he made a provisional booking in November and made a firm booking complete with menu choices on 10th December. We attended today and the experience was a shambles. We arrived for 1.00pm, the waitress couldn’t be bothered to show us to our table and directed us to the wrong table and wrong party. The restaurant wasn’t busy (and remained so for the duration) - there appeared to be more learner drivers on lessons rather than customers in the car park. My husband’s glass for his drink had to be exchanged for one without a lip imprint on it. Staff didn’t appear to know who was meant to be serving us so my brother at 2.15pm (yes, he is far more patient than I), had to go in search of someone who would serve us. Unfortunately, things didn’t improve, despite waiting all that time to get started, we were then informed that most of the desserts that had been pre-ordered weren’t available (!), does the buyer for the restaurant know how to purchase accordingly? What is the point of having to submit menu choices so far in advance to find you cannot accommodate your guests???? When it was pointed out that one of the pre-ordered sides had not been supplied, the waitress churlishly said ‘well, it wasn’t on my sheet’ when it was pointed out it was in the email containing the pre-orders. A clear lack of communication between staff (especially when it came to deciding who would be waiting on our tables). Fortunately, I hadn’t ordered a dessert as I’d still be there at 7.00pm tonight no doubt, - my nephew got his kid’s mac n’ cheese main course at 3.06pm - see photo! I thanked my brother for organising the meal despite it all and him running around after staff continuing to try and sort things out, he responded by saying he was so disappointed as he wanted everyone to just sit down, relax in everyone’s company and have a good time - “how the h**l it ended up being such a s**t-show, god only knows” he said. Understandably, we decided not to leave a tip…..

Bought a black forest cake for a birthday celebration. It was delicious and well worth the £19.95 price. It said to serve 12, however these are very generous portions. Beautiful sponge and perfect buttercream. Will definitely buy from the Merrie again.

suprised at previous bad reviews. We were a group of 18 cyclist. We had prebooked. We received a warm welcome and places had been reserved for us. The taking of the order was efficient and service was without delay, I had a fried egg bap and tea which was hot and tasty and reasonably priced. couldnt fault.
