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

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.

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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a joy this husband and wife team are...Rochelle? Apologies if I have misspelled your name.. You are so warm and welcoming .. Little Harper (the dog) made the experience even better Fab coffee Gorgeous food Relaxed atmosphere What more could you ask for We will be back X

A stunning piece if heaven in Holmfirth, delicious food and amazing customer service. The owners go above and beyond to make sure there is is warm welcome. Don't hesitate just go and enjoy the atmosphere and uniquely yummy food.

I had the Nautical Harmony Blend. Hands down, best tuna mayonnaise I've ever had. Lovely staff - nothing is too much trouble. Come and meet Harper the dog, she is gorgeous! 😍❤️ xx

Wow what a warm welcome! The coffee was the best I've had in a very long time. Very smooth and rich. Can't wait to try the food. The menu looks so interesting and tasty. It might take a few visits to decide which will be my favourite. Wishing Rochelle and her family every success.

Nice place overlooking the river, can't comment on food as yet, friendly staff, maybe a few plants to soften the building. My only gripe shared toilets, I know it's a modern world but,having worked in a multitude of places, where most woman wouldn't like sharing with blokes, for reasons best not talked about. Apart from that great space, looking forward to sitting on the deck in summer. Update more seating and space, still needs some plants, real or otherwise. Cake is missing 🍰, you need something sweet with a coffee, scone, biscuit anything, but nowhere to be found? Pardun the pun. I like the vibe in the alley lots of bars of different description.

What a gorgeous meal with lovely service. We can definitely recommend the pork belly, halloumi bites and brisket. But, it was all really tasty (loved the oyster mushrooms too). Plus upstairs the view is great!

Very pleasantly surprised I had not expected this. Classical English Sunday roast on a high level of culinarily experience taste and presentation wise. Nice German beer, also quite surprising in deep Yorkshire. Pleasantly interested but not obnoxious or snobby personell..just a place to BE and enjoy. Definitely coming back

Absolutely amazing food and beer. Stumbled across this place by chance and could not have been happier. The food was exquisite and the staff were outstandingly accommodating and friendly. Highly recommend the muscles and pork belly and make sure you get the potatoes on the side! DOV: 11/01/2025

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.

Unusual place in many ways. Decor is fun. Cosy upstairs with quite a lot of seating. Food was excellent. Every course was delicious. Didn’t think I’d manage all three but I did. Had nice local beer (canned). Tricky access. Either up a cobbled steep street or steep steps and once inside more steep steps to eating area. We needed to pay £10 a head deposit to book but that’s kind of nice as your meal seems cheaper on the night. Staff friendly.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 .

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 !!

We knew from the first open day visit that the vineyard was the one. Every other venue we saw just didn't compare! The events team were all very easy to deal with and down to earth. On the wedding day itself everything went to plan (to our knowledge) and we and all the guests had such a fantastic day. All guests commented on how spectacular the food was and of course the view/location speaks for itself! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this wedding venue to anyone we know! Special thanks to Mia, Holly and Tom for making our day unforgettable! The only issue that we had was that we had to source alternative accommodation for the night before as there was another wedding at the vineyard. Something to bear in mind that you may need to get ready and stay over the night before somewhere else.

Cracking little pub & cafe just outside Holmfirth centre. Well positioned for walkers and locals. There’s a phone box outside full of books so well worth a visit.

This is a great little pub. The staff and customers are friendly and beer is great. They have a weekly pub quiz and serve food at lunchtime on the weekends

Lovely welcoming village pub. Great local beers, log fire and very dog friendly.

Great welcome and well kept pints. The very definition of what you want from an English pub.

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 enjoyed a lovely meal here, from start to finish the service was amazing and the food was very tasty! Started with a friendly welcome as soon as we walked in, followed by a prompt drink order which is always welcomed, and very friendly service for Max, who truly is an asset to the venue, we mentioned it was the night before the wedding and he had lovely advice for the bride and overall provided great service to the whole table. We'll definitely be back and would definitely recommend a visit to everyone. 😊

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.

Absolutely fantastic food! I would 100% return for the Dino ribs they had such an amazing flavour and beautiful bark It was definitely worth the trip to visit Koben Smokehouse arrived half an hour or so before they opened and it was so worth the wait (I will say the photos I took dont do the food justice I was just to impatient and wanted to eat 😅)

Visited Koben a few month's back for my birthday as I had been dying to try this place. Got the big tray with some extras at 4pm to feed three, pricey but worth the money. Meat all on point, really good ribs and pulled pork! Great sides with it and the two burgers were worth the visit themselves - wasn't sure what to expect from the chicken burger in a cinnamon bun but this might have been one of my favourite bits. Only thing I can fault it on is distance from Leeds, needs another branch!

Sensational meat! I had the Texas BBQ Pulled Pork Double Smashburger and enjoyed every morsel of it. Incredible flavour in the smoked patties and juicy sweet pulled pork. Lovely crunch from the coleslaw and all housed in a sweet light (but firm) brioche bun. I requested pickles to be added but had to pay 50p for the "privelege" which bugs me a little when (some) places do that. I got 4 slices by the way... Certainly not aggrieved enough to not put this burger right up in the top tier. I also had some plain chicken tenders and they were also delicious. Perfectly crisp coating with perfect chicken inside. They went down a treat with the ranch dip and ironically came with a large helping of pickles! The venue is cosy and pleasant to eat at for a food court. Definitely recommend Koben's meat delights!

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.

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.

Visited mid-afternoon so it was quiet and wasn’t expecting chef to be ready for action but service was good and food excellent. I had a nice pint of Camden Brewery pale ale and a burger. Hand cut chips were really nice. First visit but would come again and try one of steaks which looked top notch.

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!
