New restaurant for Halifax hotel

With a brand new look and menu, a Holywell Green-based hotel has opened a new restaurant creating seven new jobs.

Specialising in the finest, locally-sourced Yorkshire beef burgers, Rock Burger Kitchen at the Rock Hotel opened its doors to the public on Saturday 4 June.

With the new team, renovated restaurant and top class local suppliers, the burger menu includes the best British beef from R&J catering butchers, a free range farm in the Yorkshire Dales.

Working with carefully selected suppliers, R&J pride themselves on rearing freely grazed animals which is not only kinder to the animals but also produces the highest quality meats, rich in flavour.
Whilst Deli Fresh will provide the freshest seasonal vegetables to accompany the selection of burgers.


Owner, Paul Anderson is keen to provide local residents with something different and give something back to the community too. As such, for every classic Rock Burger sold, 50p will go to local charity, Overgate Hospice, based just one mile away from the Rock hotel and restaurant.

Speaking at the event, Paul commented:

“With a new team, look and menu we aim to provide something different for the area. Our chef has sourced some top class suppliers to ensure we provide high-quality burgers and we have ambitious plans to become the go-to place to enjoy a good burger in Calderdale.”

A VIP evening was held prior to the public opening on Friday 3 June with complimentary cocktails and a chance to sample the new menu. More than 60 guests were also treated to entertainment from local acoustic blues and rock star, Jack Manning who currently has a top 40 single with his bandmates in Bravado Cartel, alongside inspirational cancer survivor Dr Emma Kirke.
