The Endless Kettle — Restaurant in Bradford

Utterly superb. Faultless cafe-restaurant.

Booking & Atmosphere Easy to book online (just an email and name required). Recommend booking ahead this way as we arrived at opening for breakfast on a Saturday; it was quickly three-quarters full. The ambience is nice and lively even when full - not crowded or too noisy. Just right. Thoughtful decor with attention to layout and furnishings, really distinctive. Those who like art deco will love this place. Comfortable seating, though some tables are close together. Usually I don't like this so much, but the atmostphere here is nice and it was actually pleasantly communal to envy what other people had ordered (i.e. mental note of what to have next time).

Food Quality & Menu Options Exceptional food quality. Every element of our breakfasts were perfectly cooked, poached eggs etc Really wide range of options; two (possibly three) pages of options available for breakfast including a few specials! Check out the menu on the website first if you want an honest preview of what will be served - I can attest that what comes out is genuinely as good as the website pictures look! My partner can be a bit fussy, doesn't eat red meat, but had plenty of choice. I'd say it's good for vegetarians (including a full veggie breakfast option), e.g. Cheese omelettes or cheese toppings instead of meat. Ordered Rustic Breakfast for about £13. Extremely generous portion, enough for the entire day. You could tell ingredients were fresh, high-quality ingredients. Pastries and cakes look stunning, definitely made in house by a master baker I had a Lotus biscuit cinnamon creme bun to takeawy. It was larger than my hand; phenomenal value and richly delicious. I'd recommend making sure you have someone to split it with as it's so generous. Haha or maybe not ;-) Takeaway items packaged in sturdy cardboard boxes to prevent damage; not like the usual paper bags which end up confiscating half the topping. It's these small but thoughtful, quality orientated touches that sit with me.

Beverages Large latte with plenty of foam; generous size and good quality coffee. Love little touches like a small biscuit or piece of caramel shortcake with the drink.

Service Service was friendly, helpful, and welcoming, whilst also being efficient. No long waits Attentive staff, checked if everything was satisfactory and if we needed anything else. Love the buzzer system for requesting service or the bill - efficient and unobtrusive. Really appreciated the no pressure approach to tipping - no obligatory service charge was added automatically to the bill, and I was able to add whatever amount I wanted discreetly to the final charge - i.e. I was given the handset to add my own figure privately, not like in some places where you have to say verbally, out loud the amount you want to add. Really like this.

Value for Money Prices are not 'cheap' but offer genuinely excellent value for the quality and portion sizes. For example, I didn't need to eat again for the whole day after my Rustic breakfast. Again this is where the quality of ingredients comes in, much more filling. Better value compared to similar establishments: you might pay the same or slightly less elsewhere but with only 50% of the quality.

Overall Experience Highly recommended to anyone in the area. If The Endless Kettle was close to me, it's the sort of place I'd like to take visiting friends and family to to guarantee a lovely meal and something that bit different. Personally I intend to visit again, make a day of visiting Keighley, even though it's nearly an hour drive. Distinctive, high-quality experience that stands out among restaurant cafes.

Only detraction; it's not closer to me! Thank you for a thoroughly lovely weekend treat; hats off to the kitchen, service staff and the management for designing and running such a distinctive, high quality restaurant. Passion and care from a small local business really shining through here. Hope to visit...

Have been here previously and the food was excellent but have tried twice since and each time the kitchen has been closed.

Arrived on a Sunday before 1pm to find that the kitchen had closed, despite ringing ahead and telling them I was on my way. Whilst I appreciate the kitchen officially closed at 12:45 I thought there would have been a bit of leeway given my earlier communication.

The second time was on a Saturday - we checked the website and Facebook page beforehand but neither mentioned anything about kitchen opening times, just standard opening times. It's understandable that the kitchen closed at that time on a Sunday but when your opening times are advertised as being open all day on a Saturday and nothing else is mentioned it's easy to assume the kitchen will also be open.

Please, please amend this on your website. It's such a simple addition and will allow people to plan better / stop wasting their time travelling over. Yes phoning up beforehand would have resolved this but this is exactly the sort of information which should be on your website and social channels - especially when food is such a big part of...

I rarely write reviews, but after visiting The Endless Kettle, I felt I had to!

Where to start... The setting is what I would describe as quirky but in a very good way. It's like taking a step back in time. I can't really think of the words to describe it, but it was definitely a pleasant atmosphere. The young woman at the door was very polite and accomodating, as were the rest of the staff.

The food was awesome, so much to choose from and the portion sizes are just, wow... huge! You won't be leaving there with an empty stomach that's for sure. Can't fault the food at all, tasted lovely and there were things that you wouldn't normally expect on a breakfast plate, but it all went very well together.

I think a few people have mentioned the prices to be slightly higher than what they would normally expect, but honestly, I feel that for everything you get it's well within the price range.

Please go visit to experience this place for yourself! I'll definitely be...
