The Old Forge Coffee Shop - Kirklees

We both had the full breakfast. Friendly, if slow and a little erratic, service we both ordered fried eggs, only one of us received one. This oversight was quickly rectified. The breakfast wasn't cheap, £10.95 plus the cost of a drink, but it is of high quality. We both thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts. If you do go to the cafe at this time of year/in colder weather, do take something warm to wear. The cafe was not warm when we visited, perhaps it hadn't had time to warm up after Sunday closure. All the customers in the cafe were sitting well wrapped up. If at all possible, do avoid being seated near the door!

Fantastic little cafe and shop! The cafe serves amazing home cooked food and a proper Yorkshire brew! And the shop is an absolute gem, tucked away on the outskirts of Huddersfield in a mainly residential neighbourhood. It is a case of you blink and you’ll miss it. The shop contains some amazing local food and also some great homemade pies, pasties and desserts. Not to mention fresh eggs! Whilst the in house butchers is simply amazing value for amazing meat!

We decided to stop by for lunch on our way to the farm shop because I had never been before and my daughter suggested it. When we arrived, there were about a dozen people already in the restaurant. I ordered a scone and my daughter ordered poached eggs on toast with avocado. Our drinks arrived promptly but were only lukewarm and had to be reheated. The scone came quickly, but unfortunately, after waiting for 50 minutes, the poached eggs never arrived and we had to cancel our order. By this time, the cafe was full and we noticed that only 8 meals had been served in the 50 minutes we were there. The people sitting next to us were told they couldn't place an order for 15 minutes. Overall, the service was poor.

I don't know where to begin with this review! After walking out of the Villa Farm Shop, we placed our lunch order. Our cups of tea arrived promptly, but an hour later, our food still hadn't been served. None of the staff informed us of any delays, leaving us to wait without any explanation. We've visited this establishment several times in the past, but after this experience, we won't be returning. It was a complete mess. Although we offered to pay for the tea, we weren't charged for it.

Had our first breakfast here after returning from holiday a couple of months ago after a delayed flight. We’d had a breakfast the day before at Heathrow, Gordon Ramsays ‘Plane Food’ Villa farm cafe is 1000% better! In fact you can’t make a comparison. The food at the villa cafe is cooked to perfection, the staff are lovely, professional, courteous and helpful. The price of the food is reasonable especially after the rubbish we were served at Gordon Ramsays. So we’ve been again for another treat and we weren’t disappointed. Excellent breakfast, lovely staff and a clean cafe with lots of returning customers which speaks for itself.
