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

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.

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

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

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.

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 😉

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.

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.

Visited for the first time yesterday for my birthday and was not disappointed. The roast was amazing and all my favourite vegetables beautifully cooked. What a lovely bar and restaurant with friendly staff. Will definitely be back as there are some interesting things on the menu I'd love to try. Thoroughly recommend.

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.

Great little bar, Lucky Budda and Czech Budvar on tap and warm pork scratching available 👌👌👌

Superb hidden gem in Holmfirth. A genuine dedicated Coutry Music Bar, with special live performances from the new generation of country stars. Excellent range of cocktails, especially the Old Fashion's, 5 different versions to experience. Beautiful range of classic American style food, wings and burgers are plentiful and trust, some of the best wings I've had outside of the USA, served with the classic blue cheese and celery

Great food, great staff and amazing decor. The Holmfirth Tavern is a standout bar in a great location. A must for anyone looking for a taste of Americana in West Yorkshire.

Awesome place! Great vibe. Steak was amazing one of best I've had! Deffo be back to check out the music. 🤠🤩

This is how you do it. From the minute you walk in. to the second you walk out. The service at this lovely country pub. The Fox House is impeccable. And the food. Oh the food! Perfectly cooked. Well presented. And generous portions. Give my compliments to the chef. Also pass on my thanks to your attentive staff. Cannot wait to return (again).

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Nigel the tour guide/grape expert was brilliant, so funny and told us a lot of interesting facts about growing grapes in colder climes and the wine making process. The vineyard is in a beautiful area with stunning views. Make sure you wear appropriate footwear as it is a bit steep and can be wet and muddy. You get to sample a white, rosé and red wine and can also purchase them. On site restaurant which does food. The afternoon teas looked wonderful. Parking on site but get a taxi if you are going to drink! I would highly recommend.

Just had a lovely stay here at the Holmfirth Vineyard. The wine tour was very informative albeit in the middle of a storm lol! Nigel was great and we enjoyed learning about the wine produced here. The staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good and the accommodation was very nice. Quirky in fact !!

Great Bangladeshi menu. Excellent food and service. Really enjoyed our first visit and will be going back.

Recommended by family and travelled from the Manchester area. This did not disappoint, the service was impeccable and the food was simply wonderful. Every taste catered for and the setting created a beautiful ambience to enjoy from start to finish. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is an excellent restaurant serving quality food. The food is delicious, fresh, and well presented. All staff are friendly and professional with food and drinks arriving quickly. The atmosphere is wonderful and all this combined make for a five star experience.

Absolutely lovely evening! Me and my husband visited for our first date out in years after having our baby. We’ve eaten curries all over the world and these were definitely some of the best we’ve ever eaten. The staff are SO lovely, especially the young lady that served us, she almost makes the place so I hope they are looking after her! Brilliant food really can’t fault! I think my only suggestion would be to have their bathrooms redecorated as this kind of killed the feel and vibe of the restaurant.

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.

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.

We visited bank holiday Monday, nice restaurant very spacious we were taken upstairs, I was a bit reluctant as it was out of the way but still very nice. The lady who showed us to our table was really helpful as we actually went to the wrong Harvey's but sorted our table out. The food was good but it did take nearly 40 minutes for our mains to come out. I would have given 5 stars for service otherwise. Prices were reasonable and the food was tasty.

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

Our first time at 1014. A little quiet and not much atmosphere but, most places are quieter than normal in January. Staff were very friendly. Starters were both beautiful, for mains my fillet was slightly over cooked and slightly dry which should never really happen. The chicken chorizo skewers were excellent value. Despite the over cooked steak we would still give it another go in the future.

The food, service, atmosphere were all AMAZING. Absolutely enjoyed the burger. The staff is very friendly. I have a lactose allergy and they checked with the chef to see what I could and couldn't have. They even made changes to the burger, i got vegan cheese instead of normal cheese with no problem. Absolutely recommend the place!

Came here for the first time for a meal with my grandma. The food and the service is absolutely superb. We ordered the rings for a starter and omg absolutely incredible, the coleslaw was THE best thing, and I don't even like coleslaw. The Sunday roast was definitely worth the money, such big portions, and the Yorkshire pudding was almost as big as my head. 10/10 would reccomend.

Great steak excellent service. 2 of us had rump steak on a meal deal with a bottle of wine £25 each good value🍷🥩😀👍
