Came here in September and enjoyed a quality a la carte menu meal. Decided to go for the steak night, although I must admit £30 for two including wine seemed incredibly good value. Unfortunately it was too good to be true! The wine and accompaniments were fine but the steak was cheap and fatty. There was no problem in the... More

Excellent food. Really good local produce which was elegantly presented and yet wholesome and substantial at the same time. Some wonderful flavours throughout. Polite and attentive staff. Very professional but not intimidating in any way. Warm, cosy, traditional yet contemporary setting. Very good value given the exceptional quality. Impressive wine selection. Yummy Yorkshire Ice Cream. I really can't find a... More

Great atmosphere it was buzzing. Our service was very prompt,the food was very tastefully presented, my starter was a little on the cold side (scallops) but otherwise it a very good meal. We thought paying £3 for side dishes, is a bit steep when paying top prices for main dishes ? Vegetables are not that expensive and a head of... More

The Butchers was recommended by a friend and I have to say we were not disappointed. We visited during the heat wave this march!! twice, and loved the lunch menu; the Ploughman’s is excellent, as too the fish platter. We are going to book for dinner in May and cannot wait. Have to say the front of house staff are... More

We had the best Sunday lunch we have had in any restaurant in Huddersfield and we have had a lot. The atmosphere was great and the food only made for a better Sunday afternoon dining. We will definitely be back to experience other menus such as the A la Carte and the new Yorkshire menu we saw advertised as it... More

I discovered The Butchers late last year and have been a regular visitor to the pub/bar and the full restaurant ever since. It's that perfect combination of high standards and friendly approachability - both with th service and the food. The bar menu and Yorkshire menu (set menu) are insanely good value and out of the 30 times I've been,... More

I've eaten here a few times on the early bird ( Yorkshire menu ) deal and thought it was good value so we came here for my birthday. Usually I am spoilt for choice but there wasn't anything that really grabbed me. We ate off the al a carte menu. Starter of pork belly, snails and scallops at £10 ish... More
