Travellers Rest - Kirklees

We loved the food and ambience at this restaurant. The staff was incredibly kind and attentive. We definitely plan on returning in the future.

We really liked the restaurant setting in what looked to have been an old barn, with exposed stone and a warm and homely atmosphere. There was also a good selection of real ales. But we were disappointed with the food dishes seemed to come with a soup like bland sauce or be thickly deep fried and really lacked in flavour. The meat was overcooked. It felt like a very outdated 70s dinning experience. Whilst there was a generous amount of potatoes and vegetables, some of the combinations seemed odd like the thai chicken dish served with chips and veg rather than rice or noodles. As this was not at all cheap food we were sorry our initial expectations weren't met.

There was a young man who was new to the bar and was very helpful with our drinks and food choice. The food was great and service was excellent. Will definiltly be returning soon.

We come here many times and the food and service are always excellent. There is a good selection, and never disappoints.

I had arranged to meet friends here for lunch this afternoon as it was a central meeting point for all of us, what a lovely find. None of us come from the area so we didn't know of it, I found it on line. The food was lovely, we all had different dishes and no one could fault their meal. The service was prompt and courteous and there was a good atmosphere there. We enjoyed it that we have decided to meet up there again in November.
