Cafe in Halifax

“Always an excellent place to have lunch!”

“I stumbled across this delightful, well stocked and different from other Health food shops this week whilst having some time to kill! The owner Natalie was so helpful and friendly it was hard not to leave. I had an excellent latte and enjoyed browsing round the shop for gift ideas. Loved the idea of plastic free products and organic fruit and veg. Bought some of their homemade peanut butter which was delicious. I will certainly be visiting again and trying the organic veg box. Well Done Natalie and family for bringing something different to Halifax.”

“Not had food so can't comment. Staff are friendly and approachable. There is a group we go to on a Friday morning 10-1 that is aimed at getting the community together and helping the vulnerable to socialise rather than be alone at home.”

“Now the Engine Room & a totally awesome place to visit, serving breakfasts, brunch, lunch & much more beside. Prices are incredibly reasonable too, with seating indoors & outdoors.”

“The Pub is really nice, the drink quality was very good, and the bar/food service was very good/excellent. The food itself for me was fantastic Tandoori Chicken Skewers were cooked really well, the taste and presentation of my meal was fantastic the taste of the sprinkled paprika on the fries were excellent, salad excellent, yoghurt sauce excellent. only two minor niggles of this dish Sala Sauce I personally thought was not nice (usually my fav) put to one side as was spoiling the dish, the thickness of the naan too much, 2 small naans, or one thinner one preferred, but the Naan served was lovelly. The dish was excellent value for money.... I just want to point out that the two minor niggles are minor issues, one of the best pub meals I have ever had in a long time of this type. I would still give an overall rating of 4.8 out of 5.... I have still voted 5 stars in my review as next time I come I do hope the polite feedback of this dish is taken on board and again would reorder the same dish as everyone on our table commented on my dish and how fabulously it looked.... You cannot get a better compliment than everyone asking to try and saying it tasted lovely. THANK YOU TO VENUE AND ALL THE STAFF, THIS IS A GENUINE PAYING CUSTOMER (WELL MY PARTNER PAID), AND I WILL BE BACK AGAIN. PS: A shout out to Eleanor, she was very polite, professional and was serving clients with the utmost professionalism and politeness. Credit to the venue.”

“Stumbled on the Lightcliffe tearooms as we drove to Halifax. Lovely cafe and enjoyed a scrumptious chicken and bacon salad, picture says it all. Thank you, would recommend.”

“A lovely Italian restaurant in Halifax. Our 2nd visit when going to a Piece Hall gig and it was busy. The staff were friendly, helpful and efficient. Highly recommended for Italian in Halifax.”

“Had a lovely meal at the Duke of York. We ordered the fish & chips and scampi & chips — both came in really generous portions and were cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were all friendly and helpful. There was a bit of a delay with the food due to the chef being unwell, but the team handled it really well — we were even offered free drinks while we waited, which was a lovely gesture. A special mention to Ellie, the manager, who was especially kind and made sure we were looked after.”

“Lovely atmosphere, great service, small but just how a pub should be.”

“We held our after wedding meal here. The food was superb, the service second to none, nothing was too much trouble. I wish we lived closer to make it our local! Fabulous”

“Visited on bank holiday Monday with my friend and my 10 month old son. We sat outside so their was plenty of room, there didn’t seem to be high chairs here but that wasn’t much of a problem as my son just sat on my knee. Lovely food and a coffee. Really well priced. Incredibly friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.”

“So glad we found this place. Hot, fresh, tasty chinese food. Best we've had in a very long time. The salt and pepper king prawns are phenomenal! Staff are friendly and helpful too which makes visiting the shop an enjoyable experience. Keep up the great work guys.”

“DJ was the best man in that place made my gay black friend feel the most welcome in a bar he has ever felt and it’s difficult normally for my friend to fit in”

“Well we loved it - just popped in after a visit to the hospital. Great place to sit and watch the world go by with a nice breakfast or coffee.”

“Good beer, reasonable price. Jobs a good'n.”

“Not been, to be honest, just want to say it's great to see an old pub doing great things. Lived on Halifax Rd back in the 70s and remember seeing your pub everyday. Good Luck.”

“Came today for Breakfast. Beautiful Restaurant and staff. The Breakfast was bloody lovely. We will be back in your delightful Restaurant very soon for the steak pie . Were so glad we found you ♥️”

“Nice decor, friendly and helpful staff, good range of food and drinks including vegetarian and vegan options. Good mix of seating over two floors, outdoor seating too. Nice view over the Victorian market building. Wi-fi access.”

“Had a really nice time here and enjoyed some top quality food. The bartender Lincoln couldn't have done more for us if he tried. A lovely place with great food and a brilliant atmosphere, a must go to if you visit Halifax.”

“My favourite place to brunch. The Farmhouse Breakfast is lovely, myself and my son always love to get that, and my mum and other son are big fans of the fluffy pancakes. The portions are generous and the quality is amazing. The food menu is value for money. I always judge whether to visit a breakfast spot by the sausages on offer because decent butchers sausages always tell me the food will be good because the establishment cares about quality and the sausages here are proper butchers sausage. (I did ask for well done scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage on the accompanying image). I notice they have vegetarian options too. I've been here so many times now and it never disappoints. I always book in advance online with the easy to use booking system as they can get too busy for walk ins (shows how great they are) and I always ask to sit at the window (table 10/11/12/13) which overlooks the countryside view. You also get bookings for 1.5 hours so no rush to eat and get out. The staff are also very welcoming and friendly whilst remaining professional. Would highly recommend and continue to return time and time again.”

“Stayed here for the night while myself and Mum saw a concert at peace hall the staff where lovely and welcoming the DJ outside during the day played all the best music and the roast chicken wrap van was a very nice touch. The rooms where clean and the beds where extremely comfortable we will definitely be staying here again if we are in the area Thanks for a great stay”

“Polite friendly staff clean and tidy food nice just could of been hotter nice little pub inside”

“Didn't eat, but beer was great. Well kept ales, great prices, and they are part of the CAMRA discount and voucher scheme, which meant my pint cost £3.25. Amazing value. Great atmosphere, too, with 2 different footy matches on as well as a northern soul event.”

“Brilliant pub now it has been taken over by the owner of the Murgatroyd Arms just round the corner. Inside is very similar as before but the outdoor seating and shelter is a lot better now to sit out and have a drink.”

“Good pubfor cask ale and free jukebox.”

“THE ENGINE ROOM - Best Full English in Halifax, perhaps even Yorkshire. When I first looked at visiting Halifax in mid-December, I thought it looked rather bleak. But all the old wool carpet mills have been turned into an array of offices for various companies with cafes, restaurants and bars on the ground floors, and a Travelodge, where I stayed, at one end of Dean Clough Mills. The Engine Room is typical of finding a great cafe that really doesn’t look like much from the outside due to the stone built exterior and you wouldn’t know it’s a hidden gem. Inside there’s a large easy to read menu but best of all the prices for the food you receive, are absolutely worth every penny. I had been in an another cafe further in the town centre the day before for an all day breakfast but it was twice the price and nowhere near the quality of the Engine Room Full English. Tell me where else can you get what’s in my photo for £6.50 plus a hot drink for £2.60, all for well under a £Tenner these days? Food quality, the Full English is cooked to perfection. The mushrooms and small grilled tomatoes are a great touch, not swimming in tomato juice. Two lovely sausages and everything exactly as you want a cooked breakfast away from home to be. The Travelodge doesn’t do a cooked breakfast but it couldn’t compete with the Engine Room, if it did. Could anywhere in Yorkshire? There’s a challenge. I know where I’m going for breakfast, midday snacks and lunch the next time I’m in Halifax - The Engine Room.”

“Great little pub not been for a long time but still nice little place and right by the wonderful borough market too”
