Our guide to Huddersfield restaurants and takeaways.

Huddersfield’s restaurants and cafes are in many ways a showcase for the best of the north. Whether you’re after ‘traditional Yorkshire’ or the contemporary buzz of something a little more unusual, Huddersfield restaurants offer something for everyone. Traditional Yorkshire puddings and Parkin are available in most tearooms; and of course there are plenty of the fabulous curry houses and Balti restaurants that Yorkshire is famous for. Head to Westgate, Market Street or New Street if it’s a good curry that takes your fancy.

Huddersfield is firmly planted on the culinary map. Each summer, it hosts a Food and Drink Festival, providing visitors with an opportunity to sample dishes from across the globe, as well as locally grown organic produce, real ale and cider.

For fine dining, The Olive Branch in Marsden, a 19th century coaching inn located not far from the city centre, serves contemporary British dishes. The menu is varied and the restaurant offers great views of the surrounding countryside. Book a table at the Olive Branch in Marsden if you are looking for a special treat.
