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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Gorgeous place. Cosy, affordable and delicious food and drink. Portion sizes are fabulous! You get a lot of tea. Decaf option was available too which was amazing ! I recommend their brownies and scones - they provide butter , cream and jam in separate pots for you to use! Amazing customer service- super friendly , affable and sweet :) thank you both 🖤

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

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.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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.

Wow! What a night! Thanks to the staff who looked after us, or put up with us depending on your viewpoint! The food was exquisite, we will defo be back!

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.

Nice and decent place to eat, everyone is amazing with an amazing chef. I love the prawns starter. I great place to dine in with family and friends. Good for occasions❤️

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.

Popped into this little bar while in Holmfirth. Quite small so we went upstairs to another smaller area. Only a couple of tables but what a wonderful little area with lots of quirky things scattered around. Service was quick & the staff friendly. £23 for 4 drinks was probably a little more expensive than the average (for the area) but worth the experience If you visit, make sure you also experience their toilet ...... best public toilet I've ever had the pleasure of using 😉

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.

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.

Myself and partner had a couple of lovely evenings here during a visit to Jackson Bridge for the weekend. A very cozy pub that made us feel welcome. We loved the beers and the nice conversations with the locals! We would certainly come back.

Called In to the red lion this evening to find a great atmosphere with a very knowledgeable bartender. Opted on the framers blond wow crystals clear pint. This pub knows what there about. Not far off from Holmfirth worth a visit.

No longer gives accommodation but this is an excellent friendly, well run pub.

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

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! 😉👍

Another visit with friends and never disappoints… sea bass was milky and perfectly cooked. Fish pie is apparently better than mine 😳 cheeky… I would always recommend visiting to eat. Fabulous..

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

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

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.

An absolutely fantastic stay. Good location with ample parking. Just a short taxi ride from town. Beautiful rooms, well appointed with quality bedding and furniture. The food is excellent and plentiful and all the staff are friendly and helpful. The pub section is cosy with a log burner. Totally faultless and we'll definitely be back. Thank you all.

Stopped here before as we had come to see Ferocious Dog at the Picturedrome. It was the only place with availability as it's a little way out. Great find. Nice rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great food and plenty of it. Ideal place for walkers.

Really enjoyed our stay in Grouse. It was spacious, warm and spotlessly clean. A comfy bed, roll top bath, brownies and a log burner - what more could you need? Oh and a little dedicated dog space under the stairs with a bed and bowls! Excellent and genuinely friendly customer service from everyone. We will be back.

We arrived on Friday at a nearby Airbnb and The Pickled Pheasant was the nearby watering hole. The fire was light making the pub very welcoming, everyone was very friendly not just the bar staff but also everyone who was drinking ... dogs are welcome there is a good selection of beers and lagers. During the whole stay we frequented the pub on most evenings and every time we were welcomed even during the busy Sunday .... we will definitely be back

Came in for a quick coffee and was surprised by the ambience and the staff. Absolutely gorgeous little place. Honestly considering to use this as my wedding venue.

Very enjoyable meal and reasonable value. One of our new favourites around the Holmfirth area.

Our first experience here, won't be the last. First impression is the wonderful building, an ex dyehouse - looks great, well set out, visibly beautiful from the outside, exceptional outdoor space (didn't use as it's -2⁰) Warm welcome on entry, and great seated area to review the menu, take a drink. Restaurant is bustling and has a great atmosphere, good music. Service was attentive and pleasant. Menu was a decent choice, not too many you can't decide. All choices were piping hot and really enjoyable. Sweets looked incredible, however ate far too much so gave them a miss.

Not the cheapest place around here but the quality, ambience and experience is worth the premium. Staff made an effort for my birthday and we had a great time. We all could have had anything on the menu which always makes it a tough choice. All in all, a lovely evening and will be back.
