We usually go to Arcade Coffee & Food, but decided to try somewhere new while in Huddersfield for an appointment at Wonder of Wellness (biological dentist). We arrived early and popped into Northern Tea House — and we’re so glad we did!
I had the gluten-free brownie which was absolutely fantastic: gooey, rich, and just the right amount of indulgent. My friend had a meringue — soft in the middle, crumbly on the outside — exactly how we like it. I also ordered a pot of tea, which was huge and easily enough for two.
There’s no dedicated parking, but we found a nearby street and paid around £3 for 1–2 hours. Might be better parking if you scout around a bit.
The café has table service, which was a lovely surprise. There were people working on laptops and others catching up — it gave the place a nice energy. The high ceilings and warm atmosphere made it feel open and welcoming. People were constantly coming in, which is always a good sign.
We’d definitely come back next time we’re in town!
Had a lovely fried egg, mushroom and bacon sandwich on white gluten free bread for my lunch today with a cappuccino and gluten free muffin following a busy Sunday morning. The sandwich was delicious 😋 the coffee wonderful as always. The staff were really helpful, nothing was too much trouble and all made me feel comfortable asking for help when needed. Finding a place that has helpful staff, who cater for dietary requirements, is accessible for mobility reasons and is a safe space when on your own is difficult to find these days in my opinion. A big thank you to all the Merrie England staff at New Hey Road.
We ate here for the first time this evening and were really impressed with the food, service and atmosphere. An excellent menu with a wide range of choices, including gluten-free. The staff were friendly and helpful too. Highly recommended.
Used to come regularly here but few years ago felt it was mot good te veg being over cooked and not as much choice however we gave it another go after receiving 50% off mains voucher and I will say we were pleasantly surprised. The turkey was cooked to perfection the yorkshires were huge and the veg was crispy not over cooked. The only thing we thought could be improved on was the veg could have done to be a bit warmer and the roasties a little crisper but it was all very tasty
The staff were very pleasant and helpful as well
Only other thing was I'm gluten free and a gf yorkshire would have been the extra point.
Came across the restaurant by chance whilst waiting for our daughter. The staff were extremely friendly and very accommodating. Ideal place for family. Popcorn on your table and a cinema room for the kids whilst they are waiting for their meal. I also think it's good value for money.
They also cater for non gluten diet.
