The Best Restaurants in Birchencliffe, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom (2025)

Cocktails and food are average, but it's expensive. Not really worth it.

Perfection from start to finish. We dined there last night and the experience was exceptional. Service headed up by James was exacting, warm and courteous - without being overly familiar or intrusive - not a skill set that’s easy to master. The food was bold, daring and delicate - and perfectly executed. A real cut above - 10/10

Great atmosphere and music

Good place

Came for our end of term works do so we had the upstairs to ourselves. We had the graze boards...i had the veggie one which was shared between 4 of us n there was plenty to eat. Inside was nice but some parts upstairs were not properly finished e.g ceiling painting was patchy n you could tell it wasnt taped off when done...but this didnt distract from the beautiful food n friendly bar staff though. I would defo visit again 😃

What an absolute gem of a find on Lindley high street. Amazing New Zealand Sauv! 👏🏻 Amazing cheese platter - the truffle cheese to die for!! Wonderful host / bar tender / wine connoisseur Simeon took excellent care of us. Thank you Vicky Ps we shall be back 😊

What a fantastic place! We've visited several times now, as a couple and with friends, from a chilled Sunday afternoon to a lively Friday night, even a midweek comedy night hosted by Jason Manford's brother! The wine is excellent, my wife drank more than her fair share, the staff are friendly and the food is truly outstanding. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing venue with delicious food and wine! We had our school mums Christmas night out here and when booking I spoke with the owner Regan who booked to top floor for us from 7pm until close as there were 20+ mums. Regan was very helpful and discussed food options with me and arranged a a very appetising charcuterie table which had so much food and selection that catered for everyone’s needs. The service on the night from Simeon and the staff was excellent. Both food a drink were very good value for money, We will definitely be booking our future get togethers here.

We had a family meal last night ( Saturday 21st Dec) and just had to write this review. It was absolutely fantastic. The food was delicious and it all came out perfect. The service was incredible, all the staff were so friendly and very attentive. A credit to them all… The owner ( Steve I think) was such a lovely man within the hospitality sector. We will all be definitely coming back to this beautiful restaurant in the near future. Highly recommended..

What can I say. Probably the nicest eatery in Huddersfield. Just shared a first date here this afternoon for an amazing Sunday lunch. The food was simply superb, which makes it great value for money, the service was excellent and so friendly. With a lovely busy atmosphere. Such a lovely an memorable place.

I believe The Scullery is the best restaurant in Huddersfield. I have now been 4 times, including for an anniversary dinner and even once just to have a sit down and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere with a glass of mulled wine. The homemade food is always stunning, made with fresh and seasonal ingredients (they change their menu to fit the season because they use local products). I love their fish dishes and the second time I went I had the most amazing soup. The service is good and staff always do their best to accommodate even on busy days. I could not praise this place enough, absolutely love the food. The Scullery is a hidden gem and I will come again!!

What an amazing place. The staff were very helpful, friendly and responsive. The food was delicious, well presented and came in very generous portions.The roast beef I had was lovely and tender. Good choice of drinks, next time I might try a cocktail as they sound great. I can tell they really care about cleanliness too.

Our first visit and certainly not our last! We came to Sapori to celebrate my birthday with my family and it was excellent. The service was amazing from minute one with the right amount of attention to us and very helpful recommendations with ordering. We had starters and mains. The food portions don’t look huge but honestly they are made with such flavour and richness that it is the perfect amount. I personally had the salmon tortellini and it was beautiful and I believe the ragu was a hit with my parents! My brother hate the Nutella pie dessert which was simply divine. Wine was also pleasantly wonderful which was clearly imported rather than chemicalised British wine (basically, we felt like we were in Italy). And to top it off, we were given free limoncello to celebrate my birthday! Thank you to the Sapori team, we will be back.

Lovely restaurant, with great atmosphere and friendly, welcoming service. The food is gorgeous and beautifully presented, with a nice selection to choose from , that has changed each time I have been so there is always something different to try. Definitely recommend and a great addition to Lindley.

Went as a group of six on the recommendation of two in our group. Lovely restaurant, knowledgable waitress on the menu both food and drinks, great service and amazing food! Restaurant was closing and we were still sat around talking but not rushed out by staff. Would recommend and will also be back again.

Always a great night here. Small , intimate , top notch food and service. Catered for an off site private party for me in August 2023. Wow! Our guests are still talking about it. No wonder you have to book to get a table as it’s so popular. Thanks Ben and team.

Ideal place for a lovely meal. The food was delicious, I would highly recommend eating here. The steak was perfect, plus the flavors of everything were fantastic. Thank you.

Went to The Barn for the first time tonight with a group of friends. We were so impressed. Lovely quirky little restaurant with a great atmosphere. Ben and the team are so lovely and welcoming and the service was spot on. The food was absolutely gorgeous. I had prawns to start - sublime. Then steak - perfection with a sauce that was so moorish I could have eaten a whole bowl of it on its own. To finish- churros- served hot and crisp with a dusting of sugar and cinnamon and a warm dipping chocolate - just divine. The rest of our party had goats cheese salads and chicken taco starters, followed by either steaks or sea bass. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We will definitely be going back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing place fabulous food great service. An absolute gem. Visit and eat you will not be disappointed. So well presented. 100% and well done to Grumpy.

You need to try this place at least once! We were so happy with our first night that we decided to dine in for the remainder of our trip. The staff are absolutely wonderful, the prices are very reasonable and the quality is good. It has more of a home style feel.

Outstanding service from all the staff,specially Julliano ,made us feel so welcomed and appreciated! All the food was exceptional,however the stake was a bit chewy compared with other times (it might have been the cut of meat).The gamberoni picante were delicious and probably my favourite part of the meal. The lamb chops were excellent and perfect cooked and seasoned. Thank you so much for the birthday lovely limoncello shots,perfect ending of a wonderful meal!

Just went down with my mum for a meal. We had a great time. The food was amazing, our waiter Juliano was very kind and helpful, attended to everything we needed. Would definitely recommend dining here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Long time not here. Ordered my usual double ribs starter and cheese garlic bread as a main. Grand but the BBQ "sauce" portion management team must have been working tonight 🤣🤣. In all seriousness, not the cheapest, but you pay for what you get. One of the best meals we've had in quite a while

Tutto bene ! La pizza Siciliana è buona!!! The pizza was great. Fantastic if you want to eat in or even take away. Great for family or friends. Authentic Italian / Sicilian 🤌🏼🇮🇹

Gluten free pizza!!! 🍕🍕🍕 🤩 So happy we have found this gem! My husband is coeliac and finding gluten free pizza is not easy. He says it’s the best pizza he’s ever had. The base was lovely and soft. Thank you for catering gluten free options 🙌

Just bought 3 pizzas and 3 slices of chocolate cake from here… sensational! My pizza was gluten free I cannot begin to describe how good it was, this is the best pizza I’ve had since discovering I was celiac 10 years ago, I nearly cried tears of joy. My family has the regular gluten pizza, they said it was amazing pizza. This is now our go to place for pizza

Came here today with my family and we loved it. The food was delicious! We had a young waitress who was very attentive to our needs, lovely atmosphere downstairs in the restaurant. I would definitely come again!

Wide variety of good quality food and drink that is delivered to your table very quickly unique lighting to create atmosphere affordable but good for the money in portion size and taste/quality.Staff are very kind and friendly towards you.All food was fresh and tasty!Great place to eat if you’re in the area and I will definitely be returning!

We have come over for an evening meal after having take outs before from Cosy kitchen and the food only got better! We have decided to go with Polo Stroganoff and Polo Funghetto with Sautéed potatoes, and both meals were amazing albeit the Polo Funghetto tasted slightly better for us. We have also tried the cheesecake and it was really tasty and looked amazing too but there was a bit of ice on one side. It was still worth every penny. Staff was also really friendly and atmosphere was really nice in there. We also had a pizza and cheese chips with bacon for takeaway for tomorrow as both of those always taste nice even reheated.

Fantastic experience! We celebrated a special occasion here, and everything was perfect. The food was absolutely delicious, with great options for everyone, including gluten-free dishes. Highly recommend Cosy Kitchen for both the food and the amazing service!

Visited with friends and family recently and our visit was nothing short of spectacular. The atmosphere there is so welcoming, and the staff is super friendly. The dishes are not only delicious but also beautifully presented. It's definitely my go-to place for a lovely meal with great service. Our waitress was extremely accommodating to our dietary requirements and gave us recommendations which most definitely did not disappoint. Will definitely be visiting again!

Great food. Best burgers about. So tasty and the home made fries are something else, all fresh farm produce, really good pricing too. Bloke who makes the food is really friendly and chatty. Best cafe in Huddersfield. None of that cheap frozen stuff. Massive hats off to the team, you will not find a better burger anywhere FACT

The worst thing about Fat Tony's, is that it has been here for 18 months & I only found out about it a few weeks ago! 😂 From walking in the door, the welcome from Darren (a.k.a. 'Fat Tony') was great! I explained that it was my first time there and straight away, he walked me through the options. I went with the burger & chips and it was amazing. Quite frankly, the best you will find in or around Huddersfield to be fair! I've since been back for breakfast and that was also great, I'll be back again and even will travel out of my way to enjoy food from here again!

Had bacon cheese burger and it was delicious. Freshly made, fresh mince smashed there on the grill. The staff were super friendly and those fries are something else. Good price too. Will defo be going there again as I love a good burger. I’d been past so many times and wondered what food they did. Now I know and I urge you to try it too.

A damn good place for solid homemade food. I have become a regular and wouldn’t think of anywhere else for a good butty at a fair price

Top marks to the Royal & Ancient. Over on holiday from Australia my sister wanted to treat me to a high tea. It is not on the menu but the team at the pub pulled out all the stops and we had one of my tastiest high teas ever. Scotch Eggs, oh how I've missed you 😍 Highly recommended.

We came for the first time Sunday for Sunday lunch. The food was incredible!! The nicest Sunday lunch I’ve had in a long time. Quick service & massive portions! Will definitely be returning!

I think this may be one of the best roasts I've had. The portions were very generous, with huge Yorkshire puds and my pork was done perfectly! I really like the special little touches on the plates too, like the crab apples and pigs in blankets. The service was great and very quick, and the pub had a lovely cosy feel too.

What a fantastic pub! The food arrived so quickly; it was beautifully presented, perfectly cooked and delicious. The gluten free fish and chips was the best I've ever had. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming, including to our young baby. Will definitely be coming back.
