Quick info
About The Old Wireworks
On Acre Street in Huddersfield, The Old Wireworks runs as a walk-in bar and restaurant with a pool table in the room and a tapas menu running alongside its larger plates. The kitchen handles group bookings with ease, and the team has put on gatherings for over thirty people on a single booking, including Christmas Eve events. Chips arrive home-cooked. Mike and Tracey run the floor, and orders go in at the bar. The format suits casual drop-ins as well as arranged parties, with no reservation system in place.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the welcoming, attentive staff, who handled a large family group without anyone waiting for food and squeezed in a last minute Christmas Eve table. Close behind are the home cooked chips, the new tapas menu and the pool table. One diner found the gammon barely cooked, with an overcooked egg and chips fried in oil that needed changing.

“Met up with some friends for a get to gether yesterday evening at The Wireworks and I had not been for a while, its my friends local. Really fabulous evening. The food was absolutely gorgeous. Very hot and tasty and proper home cooked delicious chips. Portions were really good and well worth every penny. Atmosphere was great. The wine and food were very good prices and the service was exceptional. We stayed all night as we were so comfortable and made to feel very welcome by Mike, the landlord, who is absolutely brilliant. What a lovely evening! We will be back very soon.”

“Had a barely cooked gammon, with an over cooked egg. Oil that the chips were fried in needed changing. It was average offered to change the egg, but i had already requested it to be runny.”
