Home on Lindley — Restaurant in Kirklees

We have been to Home lots of times and always really loved it, however this time it was extremely disappointing. We chose to order the new Chefs Special deal, that was £25pp. It was advertised as follows "Let our chef send all their favourite dishes to your table by choosing ‘Chefs choice Menu’. This will include our weekly specials. Please ask your server for more information.£25 PER PERSON'. We both decided to do this and were sent flatbread and hummus, olives, pork belly, katsu cauliflower, fish pakoras and a portion of chips (bare in mind this is tapas, so not huge portions). We asked the waitress if this was all we got, as it didn't seem enough for the money. She checked with the chef and they said it was. I looked at the menu and calculated the price of all the dishes individually and it was only £39, so £11 less than what we would be paying! We then spoke to the waitress again and she said the kitchen would send something else, so I chose the beef birria tacos to add to our meal for free. These came out extremely burnt and inedible. We spoke to the waitress again (who was amazing btw!) and she said she would speak to the manager. When she brought the bill, she had individually priced the dishes, not including the tacos, for us to pay. I think it is very bad that they are advertising the chefs special as more than what it is worth! We will unfortunately not be...

An ambitious menu for chefs who do not appear to have the required skill set for the dishes they are cooking. We ordered 7 dishes and each one lacked flavour and seasoning, and tasted below average at best. Bourbon prawns that didn’t taste of bourbon, more like cheap bbq sauce. Honey sesame chicken that didn’t taste of either. Appalling flatbread that was more like a stodgy thick pancake than a bread. And a lamb Birrita that was more like tasteless watery shredded beef. The salads that accompanied some dishes were soggy and wilted. The person who appeared to be the most senior member of staff on the shift was dismissive and not very hospitable. Thankfully we had a gift voucher which reduced the final bill to a more acceptable cost for the quality of food we were served. At full price, I would have most definitely made a complaint. The girl serving us was attentive, polite and gave us our only positive. The Hawkstone lager on draft was good too. The two stars are for these two reasons only. Simplify the menu to meet the ability of your chefs, don’t try to be fancy and something you are not and it could be a great spot. As it is, I would save your money and...

Unfortunately it was not a great experience and based on this we would not return. The king prawns initially served were far too over cooked and very rubbery. Whilst we got a replacement dish which was much appreciated, this was not great. They just tasted like recently defrosted prawns chucked in some bland sauce placed on a hot plate. The Jerk chicken skewers lacked the jerk seasoning completely. They tasted like unseasoned chicken off the grill. The belly pork was something we really looked forward to having but this was a disapointment. I can only describe the majority of this dish as chewy charcoal dressed partially in sauce (Nice sauce) i got the impression it was deep fried with little care taken. It was not all bad though, the Gnocchi special was amazing and the sauce was to die for. The chicken gyoza was nice also. First time trying the new Hawkstone lager and that was well worth having! Overall i felt the meal lacked love and attentive care from the kitchen with very little admiration to...
