Reviews in Huddersfield

Don't Bother, food average no better than what you could cook up yourself for tea really, just not exciting. atmosphere ok, except staff are very young, unattentive and sometimes do not react promptly, ie waiting for drinks for more than 25 mins to enjoy with my meal, had to remind waitress 3 times. Overall ok if close by but not worth pre booking, more exciting places to try.

Just found this place. Used to be a popular pub about 15 years ago but wow it's like a London brasserie now. Modern look, bright and crisp. Food's great too. Nice to see some off-piste dishes as well as the usual things. My girlfriend had the murgh chambala where the heat of the chillis - it's hot! - is offset by molasses. Loved the grilled fennel seeds on top, too. It gave a really nutty texture. I had the Gosht Arbi, lamb with colocasia roots, whatever they are, and a touch of vanilla. Slightly off the wall but the best cooking around, I'd say.

Great new restaurant. The old pub has been stripped out and remade for the 21st century. Clean lines and contemporary furniture greet you and the menu is up to the moment, too. We liked the chicken haandi and gosht bindi but the stars were the achar chamak salar, a curry of roots flavoured with asafoetida, and gosht masca malabar, a lamb dish featuring macerated pears, diced turnip and caraway seeds. Sounds strange but it was pulled together by the warm tow of ginger.

Just had a takeaway from here. Previously had great food and thought best takeaway in area. Tonight the food we ordered was ridiculously over salted to the point that it was practically inedible. Also not evenly spicy. Really put off as we were looking forward to it.

Fantastic Pub. From the outside just looks like a normal street corner boozer. But once you get inside you'll be amazed by the range of beers. Everything from real ale to continental lagers and wheat beers. Over 200 beers in total! and a similar number of weird and wonderful spirits. A beer and spirit menu sits on every table allowing you to make your choice before you reach the bar. (why don't more pubs do this?) Great range of soft drinks too, with some more unusual selections (curiosity cola, seville orange, root beer etc) as well as the usual coke and lemonade. Food menu was slightly eccentric to say the least, with crickets, larvae, grubs sitting alongside your other bar snacks. Great to see a pub making an effort rather than just selling the same tired old lager and bitter. Will definitely be back back next time i am in Huddersfield.

Me and my father come here once every week. It's an excellent venue to catch up and at the same time, enjoy a nice curry!

What a great place, the meals are all fresh and home made - the chips are just amazing (not a frozen chip in sight) The meals are like no other pub meals I have ever had, true honest food and well worth the trip. The staff are really friendly and stunning views. This Pub is a real gem and a visit is a must.

I have eaten at The Rose and Crown a number of times now any every one has been GREAT! The country pub is in a wonderful location and offers just the best home style cooking. Everything is home made here! from soup to the best chips I have ever tasted. Fish and Chips is a must even if you order just to see the size of the plate!! It is a real must this place, however Sunday lunch gets very busy and as everything is home made you may have a short wait but it is well worth it. GREAT PLACE

Warm and cosy, clean and tidy. Welcoming and jolly staff. Great choice of food offered on blackboard, bar snack list or restaurant menu. First visit and will return soon.

A brilliant country pub with amazing views.friendly staff and a high standard of hearty meals. definitely worth the trip.

Excellent food and excellent service would certainly recommend. All staff are really friendly especially Ann who always offers a warm welcome.

We have been going to the nawaab restaurant for a number of years now, just wanted to say it gets better everytime we go. My wife loves it, also my lad. The staff are very good, and service by the management is even better, WE WOULD RECOMMEND IT ANYTIME!!!!

If you are in the south Huddersfield area and don't fancy ethnic food, then The Farmers Boy in Shepley is the best place to eat in the area and certainly one of the best pubs I have ever eaten at in the country. With a seasonal menu of French inspired, English dishes there is always something that takes my fancy. Starters such as smoked haddock pasta with a poached egg, to chorizo and monkfish on parmesan risotto, to pork belly with king prawns and superb soups. The main menu has featured traditional steak and ale pie, fish and chips and sunday roast through to parfait of foie gras and chicken liver, to confit of duck with lentils. Always a wide selection, but usually only one vegetarian dish (doesn’t bother me though!). Main course dishes probably average out at a price of £12. They also have an amazing sandwich menu - just this past Saturday I had an open club which had smoked chicken and a soft poached egg on it - heavenly. They also have some of the best onion rings you will ever eat and lovely chips. Where The Farmers Boy excels is the quality of ingredients. Meat and seafood are of superb quality and all of the food is put together in an unpretentious manner, but with an attention to detail. A lot of the ingredients are sourced locally as well. The carrots from one mile up t’road! Try the assiette of deserts, they are all lovely. The wine list is very good too along with well cared for handpulled bitters and so I have heard (all though I never touch it!) a wonderful and stinky cheese board. They have only been open two years now, but the food (and service) gets better each time we go. You always have a deep sense of satisfaction when you have eaten a meal there and that is not just because of being full! I have lived all over Europe and in the States and consider myself pretty well educated when to comes to food. The Farmers Boy is an example of a pub doing things the right way - serving high quality, good value food, whilst it still being a pub for drinkers as well. I have had some horrendous pub food in Britain as of late and generally do not eat at pubs because more often than not, they are terrible. It is no wonder that Toby Carvery etc. have become so popular. Something like 75 pubs are closing a week now in Britain and yes it is economics, but also it is that most pubs do not pay enough (if any) attention to the quality of their drinks and food. The Farmers Boy are proof that if you offer quality, then people will come back to the pub.

The food was gorgeous but I wouldn't recommend the service - the waitresses appeared to be rushed and stressed, and they looked very young. I think it is a little expensive for the quality.

This was my 2nd visit to Chilli Lounge and again the food was absolutely out of this world, I had the Machli Biran (spiced fish) starter and the King Prawn Worri with special rice and a nan bread. Excellent service from staff who really looked after us in a superbly relaxing atmosphere. Will continue to recommend Chilli Lounge to friends and Family. Well done keep up the good work.

Was staying at the George Hotel and noticed Chilli Lounge almost directly opposite and decided to give it a try, the deco was modern, nice lounge area, great clean restrooms and the food was fabulous, I had the Naga Thakri with a huge garlic nan hanging from the nan 'Tree'. I ended up taking a 'Doggy' bag as the portions are huge too. Will defo come again the next time I visit Huddersfield.

The restaurant seemed reasonably clean and the atmosphere was lively and it was quite busy as we entered. I ordered an onion bhaji, some chicken pakora and fish tikka to start. Whilst it wasn't the best I had eaten, it was reasonably ok to start. However when it came to the main course the Chicken Tikka Balti was shocking!! The meat was a really unnatural white colour, almost fake looking white & painted with a fluorescent red dye on the outside unlike anything I have eaten before. It didn't taste like it had been near a Tandoor and was obviously not naturally prepared as there was no smoky flavour combined with the spices. The mushroom pilau was created using tinned mushrooms and it was brightly coloured but tasted bland with slightly rotten smell. To make matters worse my wife chose a Chicken Makhani which is normally a thick creamy dish with a subtle blend of mild spices. In this case the sauce was watery red with a slick of molten ghee on it. The chicken was the bright white colour inside and the coating was the same artifical fluorescent red dye painted on the outside again as my Chicken Tikka Balti. We both had garlic naans and they were passable but one side was yellow and looked like it had been painted with a coating of garlic butter giving the bread a yellow and rubbery feel on one side. The bread was quite heavy rather than fluffy and light as it should be if cooked properly. The quality of the cooking, including preparation and the blend of ingredients used indicated extreme inexperience. My recommendation would be stay as far away from here as you can unless you want to spend £40 - £50 on incompetently and carelessly prepared dogs dinner

It's very enjoyable, we take the grandkids whenever we visit from Norfolk,and there are special deals before 7.00pm.
