When we arrived it was very noisy, it was difficult to have a conversation. Our table was situated by the main thoroughfare, and my chair was continually moved as people walked past.The reaction to our problem was handled in a very unprofessional manner with no customer service skills evident from the Manager. We were very shocked and disappointed.

Another great night at The Winking Stag. Amazing food, Japanese fusion - great to try something a bit different. And the cocktails are designed in-house. Don't get these anywhere else either. Great atmosphere and friendly service. This place just gets better and better!

By far one of the best bars / eateries in Holmfirth. The drinks are excellent; really inventive and change regularly (the cocktails). Strong too, you get your moneys worth! The food, for me, is the best thing about this place. It is absolutely beautiful. Can genuinely never decide what I want from the menu as I want it all! It’s a shame it is not more available; booking is certainly advised as there is limited seating and it books up fast! Always great service from the staff and always have some good banter. Highly recommend.

My wife and I chose to eat at the Winking Stag for my birthday night out as we were excited by the prospect of Japanese food and the plentiful vegan options. We were not disappointed, just arriving in time for the tail end of happy hour! The staff were excellent, kind and attentive and the food and drinks were delicious. We're so delighted to live within walking distance of a place like this and we will certainly be back!

Great authentic food and 10/10 cocktails. Fair price for quality of food. I would definitely recommend a visit if you’re nearby

Brilliant night at this ace bar and kitchen. Cocktails were fabulous. Seasonal cocktails available and also many other favourites. The food was delicious, tasty and fresh. Well done to all the staff, who are friendly, attentive and so helpful.
My first visit to The Winking Stag. Booked in advance because we were visiting with friends with two autistic, sound sensitivity ladies in their teens. We were extremely well looked after by Tom and his staff. Excellent communication, excellent service, fantastic food. Our teens were very very happy girls?

Stayed in Holmfirth for a couple of nights and decided to try here. Relaxed dining experience. Served by Hayden who was very helpful and informative.Had mixed Gyoza and bao buns to start. Both had noodles for main. Mine was with king prawns and had lots in and friends was with chicken again lots of meat. Both had Saki which was delicious. Overall a great night. Highly recommended.

Visited the Winking Stag with my lovely friend to celebrate her birthday and we had a wonderful evening! We were greeted and immediately taken to our table that was tucked into a cosy corner. We ordered a few small plates which were all delicious, along with some tasty cocktails! Ella, our server was super helpful when it came to suggesting dishes etc. her service was fab and friendly without being overbearing. We will definitely be back, thanks for a brilliant evening x

Absolutely delicious food, so much better than wagamama, first time here and now certainly not the last. Had the chicken wings and pork belly donburi and have never tasted better.
