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

Went for brunch with 2 adults, 2 children and a dog. Great menu choices, something for everyone. Lovely place and service was friendly and welcoming. The food is top rate. Thank you

Wow, I wanted to do something a little different for my birthday this year and the whippet and pickle didn’t disappoint. I booked a bottomless brunch for 4. We had more than enough food, a brunch board and a waffle of our choosing. Excellent range of drinks. It wasn’t like the usual bottomless drinks where you leave legless and hungry. We left feeling full and happy. Thank you to the waitress’. A wonderful day with good friends, good conversation (that I could hear that wasn’t drowned out by loud music) and fantastic food.

Had our anniversary dinner here on a cold snowy night in December. The atmosphere was very warm and cozy and the staff were very attentive. Food was fantastic, the butternut risotto was the best risotto i've ever had. Sticky toffee pudding was an additional bonus.

Was really impressed with W&P, not only for their beautiful food but also for how they looked after us a large group booking, especially dealing with the bills. Each of us had our own bill, no faffing around doing calculations, who had what, the lovely waitress had sorted it all for us, it was such a breeze. Thank you. Back to the food, there were great preorder food options for a group booking, they catered for gluten free and vegetarians well. High quality, fresh ingredients. Probably the best falafel dish I've ever had, a mountain of food! Had mocktail options for the drivers, refreshing to see not to be full of sugar either 🙂 Will love to come again. Thank you for having us

Popped into the Hideout a few weeks ago for a quick drink with friends and like it so much I came back last night for a sharing board with another friend. The food was delicious and plenty for 2 of us. A warm welcome and a lovely chilled atmosphere which is rare for Holmfirth on a Friday night. The Hideout should be busier than it was for a weekend but then I guess the feel of the place would totally change.

Hide out organised the perfect party! If you need a venue that has everything they are the place to be! The vibe is very good everyone enjoyed the music and the very aesthetic decoration. The food is very good with brilliant presentation and portion. The communication is outstanding and very fast response. They even baked me my birthday cake! The staff are all very accommodating. They have everything you need and they sure did the extra mile to give us the best experience. Definitely coming back again! Well deserved 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best bottomless brunch! From start to end the service has been 5 star. Cannot thank the staff enough for the effort they put into the brunch. Will be back and would recommend to anyone querying where to go in holmfirth.

Manuela has been an incredible host! The food is just divine and amazing quality. Lovely place cosy and beautifully designed . We will definitely be back!

Me and my wife live locally and had been meaning you try this place for a while. We did, and we were blown away. Seriously. We were a little unsure walking in... but after the starters starter flying out around us we were shocked. Food came... and MEGA. Apparently the owner/ head chef is OCD and handles all dishes going out... and it shows. It's out of this world. If your a foodie... try for yourself! Not the cheapest... but its obvious why. U get 8 BIG prawns for a starter. Mental.

The food at La Dantri is absolutely delicious. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Each bite was a delight and the presentation just blew us away.The red wine poached pears was the perfect dessert. Overall,dining at La Dantri was a delight from start to finish. The delicious food paired with amazing wine,oustanding service and charming ambiance made for a memorable experience. We are looking forward to returning to this lovely gem .

Lovely small Italian restaurant in the village of honley, so really want to support. Food good slightly on the pricey side, which I'd be happy to pay to support small village Italian, however, not huge portions of what was ordered which was a good selection over the 2 nights we've visited. The restaurant is small but lovely. Eaten here twice, staff and service very good and friendly. only real sticking point is the price of wine starting at 28.00 a bottle and not the nicest of wines. Tried the one at 30.00 a bottle the 2nd time we visited and was disappointed by the quality of wine at this price point. the cost of the wine would put me off returning as I'd expect a really good wine for 30.00 a bottle. If they offered a decent house red at 20 and nicer wines 28.00 and above we would be more likely to return as we live locally. This is really the only reason I'm not giving 5 stars.

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.

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.

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.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Warmed up in here mid bike-ride We couldn't have had a better lunch break! The staff were so lovely: they couldn't have done enough for us, checking we had enough blankets and warm drinks. The upstairs was cozy like a homely living room, very quaintly decorated, and the toasties we had filled the spot! Thanks a lot Rubbles, highly recommended

Quirky cafe with upstairs seating as well as downstairs. They have homemade jewellery and other items for sale as well. I liked the pictures of book titles in the toilet. They also had sanitary items and nappies which is a nice touch. Small but tasty menu. We had the Greek salad and quiche. They finish serving food at 2pm. Friendly staff. They also do a breakfast menu until 11.30am.

Four of us and two dogs had lunch all spot on and recommend the hash, biscuits and water for the dogs and gluten free options Nice little find will return definitely thank you

Fabulous spot. I visited here with a couple friends after doing a local hike and we were all equally impressed with Ribbles of Holmfirth. From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted with a warm welcome from the lady behind the counter (sorry I never got your name!). Great drinks, even better food, beautiful surroundings. It made a wonderful change having some older music on in the background, such a nice place to be. I had a hash stack and everything was cooked to perfection. Full of flavour and all at a great price. I was very surprised when going upstairs to the bathroom that there's another floor to sit within too. The bathroom was also clean and tidy, finished off with individual hand towels which is a very welcome addition. Overall we loved it here and will return in the future without hesitation.

New management are doing a great job. Friendly pub, with a good atmosphere. There was sport on TV if that's what you want, but it wasn't too loud, and they had very sensibly set up the space with somewhere for sports fans, and another for those just socialising. Maybe could do with some more ales, though.

Good food traditionally cooked, great value for money, huge portion sizes. But they offer smaller portion or sharing plates too. Really good customer service, but the restaurant area was not heated and the seat was uncomfortable, so we didn't stay longer than the meal.

Fabulous fish n chips in a well run British pub! Great host, very welcoming and accommodating 😎

Not been for many years, but so glad we came back as a family. Very welcoming and very helpful too. We did not book, but they found us a table for 4, for our friday evening meal. Very good quality and not rushed either. Would highly recommend, and will be returning

This traditional British pub embodies a charming countryside feel. Stepping inside, you're enveloped in a homely and comfortable atmospher. The staff are wonderfully polite, welcoming, and friendly, making you feel instantly at ease. Now, onto the food—absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Each dish is a testament to classic British fare done right, from hearty pies to perfectly cooked roasts. The attention to detail in the presentation elevates the dining experience. For a quintessentially British pub experience with exceptional food and hospitality, look no further. This is a delightful retreat in every sense

Fantastic food, service was great thank you so much 🙂 can't wait to come back!

This was our second ‘family’ visit to this highly popular gastro pub based in Honley, near Holmfirth. We’d booked for four people but when five of us turned up, they very easily found a table big enough for us without any fuss. The drinks order was taken and delivered very promptly. The cask bitter from Wainwrights brewery was excellent and was the wine, gin and diet cokes! We orders pink sirloin of beef x 3, a venison and a pork…. All with Yorkshire puddings and vegetables with gravy. All came out quickly and piping hot. We had cheese cake for desert. All the food and service was excellent. The price was very reasonable too. We shall return. This place is highly recommended and hugely popular with a great atmosphere and great friendly staff! 😉👍

This is a solid local pub. During the short time I was there, it came across as an establishment popular within its own community. There were three beers on hand pull. Two from Thwaits (IPA and Wainwright's) and one from Bradfield (Farmers Blonde). The cask ales were well kept. There was also a decent choice of wine and the usual keg lagers. There were several TV screens, dart board and a gambling machine. There is a very nice garden behind the pub. There were a number of locals sitting around the bar which can make some visitors a little apprehensive. Generally came across as a friendly place.

Great little pub. Really friendly, attentive staff. Basic food served with a smile from Tracey the cook. A dog friendly pub with decent beer and nice little sit out area.

Good local pub very welcoming

A nice local pub. Lots of regulars. Food is cheap and cheerful. Nicely decorated. The landlady is great, always organising events for the local community - Help for Heroes, Halloween stuff and other fund raising events. Pool table and darts board. Toilets clean and nicely decorated (the ladies.)

Had all but given up hope of finding both great food and service. The food and service here weren't just great, they were exceptional. All of the staff had personality and clearly enjoy their job. They were all outstanding in all aspects of customer service, never once forgetting or neglecting us despite it being extremely busy and the fact we were up 2 flights of stairs in the eaves. Seating us in the eaves was an act of consideration, as there was a large party of rather merry young women downstairs, very much enjoying themselves. As for the food, wow. Chefs clearly very skilled and on top of their game. Everything creative, full of flavour and cooked to perfection. I didn't think £70 for 2 x 2 courses, including 2 cocktails was pricey at all. The portions are generous too. An obviously very popular restaurant, with a vibrant vibe. All in all very difficult to fault in any way. Needless to say, we will be returning.

Harvey's Holmfirth in the old White Hart remains what it was but is now opened up into a great open space in the loft to eat and meet. Staff are brilliant, food is delicious and drinks are plenty, book in to avoid disappointment as it is consistently busy and it's no surprise

My lady and I rocked up out of the worst weather. We were warmly welcomed into this lovely loft! Let's cut to the chase. Top 5 steak i...my partner has ever had. Ok I had a nibble. We both agreed it was perfectly grilled. High quality and locally sourced. My pizza was excellenta but firm dry sliced gherkins failed the three pigs. Pulled pork fries not to be missed. Every employee worked and conducted at a top level. We will return for steak, you should.

A table for ten on New Year's Day might sound like a tough gig, but the staff at Harvey's could not have done a better job. Ten out of ten on all fronts. The menu is diverse and well considered, and you'll likely find it hard to choose because they all sound so delicious. Then, the food was perfectly executed by clearly a very skilled team in the kitchen - every dish, faultlessly tasty. The whole party unanimously agreed; totally scrumptious. And finally, a huge thank you to the front of house waiting staff, especially our server, who took such fantastic care of our group and was clearly very good at her job indeed. A credit to the business. These guys are getting it all right - we'll be back!

Enjoyed a lovely night at the Fox House on Saturday to celebrate Nicks 30th birthday with the family. The food was amazing and staff very attentive, Tracy you did us proud! Thank you!!

Lovely food, very attentive and friendly staff, a great place, however the only downsides are that there is only one person on the bar which can cause long waiting time and if you want a drink whilst eating your food it will be cold as it takes so long in the queue. Serving staff cannot take dessert orders or coffees, it has to be done through one person who also manages the table bookings, answers the phone, manages staff and takes all payments which again can result in big queues and it becomes a bit stressful and feels a bit like a school canteen.

Came across this place on the way from Holmfirth, we were very pleased with the fantastic meal as well the lovely staff and good service. My partner had Liver & Onions and I wanted a vegan option, I had a pasta dish with garlic bread which was one of the best meals I have had in a restaurant. Highly recommended.

Went here for a carvery one Sunday and was excited to eat. Staff were very friendly and chatty, the atmosphere was nice and the interior of the pub is well decorated. The carvery would have been amazing, however, the mash they had is a mixture of potato and vegetables and ruined what would have been a great meal! I think the omission of plain mash is a very odd choice for a carvery, as it just tasted of mushed vegetables rather than the buttery creamy stuff you’d hope to eat with your meal! Wouldn’t put me off another visit, although I’d probably go for a menu item instead. My girlfriend at the chicken and loved her meal!
