Food and drink in Meltham
If you're coming to the shop for an Open Day - or by appointment - you've got plenty of excellent options for grabbing a bite to eat in Meltham, all less than five minutes away walking. Here are some of our favourites, in no particular order.
Café 33
Our pal Gemma and her team are always busy in this welcoming, home-style café. Bob always has pie and peas, except when he has Yorkshire pudding piled with roast beef and gravy. Magie loves her toasties. Best espresso and cappucino in Meltham. Highly rated at 4.5 on Tripadvisor.

Given that we are right in the glorious Pennines, we're amazed that Meltham doesn't have more accommodation right here in the village.
Micro apartment, Meltham village centre
CPS Estate Agents here in the village lets out a lovely micro apartment right in the village centre at a reasonable £49 per night.
Other than that, try Airbnb, etc. for options in the area, including in Holmfirth.
