The Union Rooms - Kirklees

Had this event on our calendar for many weeks the Harry Potter quiz, what a disappointment. The guy with the pony tail said it was on to tell us later it wasn’t due to ONE staff not turning in. Came at 530 to have food at 6 ready for quiz at 7. The sad face so called guy with the top notch wasn’t even interested that our children came dressed up. We were all looking forward to it our party of 8. Asked for the manager to tell us the same and asked us if we would like a free pudding??? Errr no we don’t we want the quiz. They must think a pudding will make things better. Anyway we enjoyed our own company but the staff here are so miserable and DONT care about their customers feelings. Shame on you. A very disappointing night. And I’ve made a full complaint to head office too. I thought your pathetic excuses were disgusting. And our party were far from happy!!!!

I love Wetherspoons, I like how they 're reliable and you know what you 're getting. I always head for one in a strange town if I am wanting a cheap and cheerful meal, I think they 're definitely a cut above their competitors of a similar price range. This one, however, compared to the 100s of others I 've visited in my 40 years on this planet has disappointed me more often. I have had to send a curry back that was still frozen in the middle and a friend has had to send their topped fries back as the bacon was raw, in the past couple of years. I did think they 'd improved however. This Friday night just gone, stopped for some dinner before going out to the cinema. Attended with partner. Partner 's steak was fine. I ordered a gourmet plant-based burger. It was very nicely presented, and the chips were cooked perfectly but the burger wasn 't cooked. It was cold and had the soft, floppy texture it has before heating. I know people will think I should have complained-but I don 't always want to do that. One, it was palatable. It wasn 't meat, and wouldn 't harm me by eating it 'raw ' (the plant-based patties are already cooked, however their texture isn 't very nice until they 're heated adequately). 2 No staff came to ask if all was okay or I may have done. 3 my partner 's idea to treat me to dinner-sure it wasn 't a fancy restaurant but I didn 't want to embarrass her unnecessarily and 4 I didn 't want to be sitting waiting for the kitchen to sort it out while she was either awkwardly waiting, her dinner going cold, or eating by herself. The staff were nice and pleasant. I didn 't want to make a fuss but I 'll think twice about attending here if 'spoons becomes mentioned again, will probably go to a neighbouring one.

We had time to spare on our return coach journey so we stopped off at batley we had a cool drink nd a sit down nice friendly staff

We called in on a midweek lunchtime for a bite to eat and it was very good value. The outside of the pub looked good for a Wetherspoons but it was untidy inside with tables not being cleared of empty glasses. On the day of our visit there were not many diners and the atmosphere was a little odd. I had the southern fried chicken wrap a good tasty snack, My wife had the small brunch ok but the sausage was bland. However for £10 in total including refillable coffee cups, you can’t go far wrong.

Thank you to all the fantastic staff at the Union Rooms for a great breakfast this morning. Friendly, efficient prompt service, tasty food good value for money.
