Merrie England - Kirklees

I came here with my mum and 15 month old for lunch on Sat 27th Jan. My baby has a dairy allergy so i needed to know if the soups had any dairy in asked a young waitress if she could help and she said she didn’t know so would go and ask she was very polite. She asked a young lad to help and have a look who was less than impressed as i stood and watched him, pull the book out the drawer flick through as fast as he could and say it didn’t tell him rubbish. So as i proceeded to stand there and state i wasn’t happy with that (or him for that matter) i suggested someone else come take a look and then i think it was someone called Julie maybe? who came, got the book and said all soup has milk in fine. Absolutely not happy that the young man was so incredibly rude about the situation, do you not train on allergies? Because i think he could do with a refresher course and some customer service to go with it. So ruined our lunch as it just us plain annoying to be made to feel like your putting staff out to ask about an allergy that could cause my child to be unwell. 0/10

A lovely cafe with very friendly and helpful staff, serving tasty food and drink for the perfect lunch. Have been a couple of times for lunch here friends and will definitely be back again.

Visited with a work colleague recently to stop off for some lunch whilst we discussed the days meeting. We were greeted with a great atmosphere, furnishings and the extremely friendly staff who took our order quickly and efficiently. We had one of the best BLTs I've had in a long time (crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes and lettuce with proper Hellman's mayonnaise all within a toasted plump white bun). Pairing this with Fresh OJ and a coffee for my colleague. We obviously had to go for the delicious apple pie and cream which we highly recommend! Parking was ample for the time we arrived (11ish) and we were seated in the sun room and had ample room to have our notes in front of us and still enjoy the great food. All in all I would highly recommend this location and will definitely be visiting when heading back over the tops from meetings and social visits!

As a regular at Merrie England... I've got to say, their coffee is something of an unsung hero. Honestly, it's a hidden gem that I reckon gives those big high street chains a run for their money. There's something about it, for me it's just the right strength and aroma that's perfect for kick starting my day or giving me that much needed mid afternoon pick me up. But let's not forget about the food – it's not just the coffee that pulls me back time and again. The sausage butties, especially on a granary roll, are a not so well known delight. Trust me ;
