“ I'm not one to mince words and I can't describe this restaurant as anything but absolutely superb. The staff are brilliant, charming, helpful and knowledgeable. They know the menu inside and out, they know their wines and they make the difficult task of services look effortless. The food has left me enraptured. The venison melted lime butter in my mouth, the cauliflower was delightful and the 'pig and prawn' starter was divine. The only criticism I can find is that the bramble jam over-powered the duck a little. I will freely admit that is a bit of user error as each taken alone was beautiful, a delicious delicate duck breast and tart and flavourful berries. The food are small plates, get a few and share the experience with friends or family, though prepare to be quick because the final bites will be hotly contested. This restaurant is going to go places and I'm excited to see where that is. Drop what you are doing and go as soon as you can. Personally, it's 5*. Frankly, I'll be shocked if they won't boast at least one Michelin star by the end of the decade. ”
“ This has to be up there with some of the best foody food we've tried! Each of the dishes were delightful, interesting, creative and packed with flavour. Between 2 ladies we had: 2x crab tarts Prawn crudo Lamb ham & pickled clam Roasted monkfish Sweet glazed beef featherblade Bath soft Cheesecake Tunworth ice cream sandwich 2x beef fat fudge The service was excellent with a lovely team of well trained, knowledgeable attentive staff. Faultless. Can't wait to go back! ”
“ After reading so many positive reviews, we had to try Norman's. However, trying to book a convenient date and time wasn't easy as it is so popular. Eventually booked and visited yesterday evening and we were so glad. It lived up to its excellent reputation, amazing food, first class service and a relaxed, warm ambience. It's currently the number one restaurant on TripAdvisor for Huddersfield and it's certainly worthy of this position. Definitely a venue for repeat visits. ”
“ Wonderful meal! A real treat for foodies looking for well-curated and unique dishes. We especially loved the stone bass (expertly cooked) and mackerel tart nibbles. The staff were all lovely and helpful, attentive without being overly so. Perfectly-sized place too. Would love to come again soon and try the new menu rotation! ”
“ We booked here for birthday celebrations and were absolutely blown away! The food was spectacular – a special shoutout to the roasted carrots and the beef tataki. There was a great selection of cocktails and some lovely wine, too. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. We didn’t manage to catch any names, but the team working on 16/04 were absolutely wonderful. We were given a complimentary drink as a birthday welcome, which was very much appreciated and really added to the evening. We’ll most definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends, family, and anyone passing through! ”
“ Went for my birthday and had a wonderful time. Staff are really pleasant and accommodating, service was excellent and the food was fantastic. Decent range of options to choose from, could have ordered all of it! Really unique flavours and dishes that tasted amazing. Got a free birthday drink on arrival too! Will definitely go back. ”
“ Fabulous birthday lunch. Staff were super friendly. Food was amazing. Great selection and really difficult to choose as wanted to try everything. We’ll definitely look to return soon. The only thing to make Norman’s even better would be a couple more veggie options. ”
“ We had been wanting to try Norman's for sometime and decided my Wife's 50th was the perfect opportunity. We visited on Friday 3rd Jan '25, we were warmly greeted and shown to our table. The food arrives Tapas style and honestly we couldn't decide which was our favourite. Great food, great cocktails but what really stands out is the service! Would thoroughly recommend it! ”
