Long, but brilliant weekend!

Hi all...

This weekend was my third experience of Holmfirth Folk Festival, since taking over Les Caveaux Tapas & Wine Bar. Friday night saw Steph Stephenson and Matt Bentley take to our cellar bar stage. They played to our diners and drinkers in to the early hours. On Saturday Stuart Bray wowed the packed out cellar with his energy and a great sing'along was had by all. It capped off what had been an action packed weekend!




This week sees the return of resident pianist 'James Hey'. He plays from 9pm in the restaurant!

Folk festival is a fantastic opportunity for me to meet lots of new people and get a survey of opion on a whole host of things with in regards to the restaurant. During this weekend a brand new menu was launched for the summer months. The feedback on the new menu was fantastic with dishes such as Spanish ribs and Shoulder of Lamb going down a storm. For recipe informoation contact us direct: info@lescaveauxholmfirth.co.uk

It is one thing I know Head Chef Sean Creamer is very passionate about and that is producing fresh food with new ideas as often as possible. At no time will our menu become stale as he is constantly searching for, and developing his own freshest Tapas recipes. This makes our menu sexy, yet very accessible to all customers. As for our 'Fresh Fish Board' this weekend couldn't have gone any better! We had practically sold every bit of fish in the restaurant by the end of Saturday night which is testament to the quality of what Sean and his team produce!

With summer almost upon us don't waste any time in getting down to Les Caveaux Tapas & Wine Bar. Sunday to Thursday currently sees an offer of 'Any 5 dishes of Tapas for just £25.00', an offer not to be missed. And why not make it a social gathering? Get some friends together and come and get a taste for our wonderful dining experience!

Festival of Folk 2013


This week sees the annual Folk Festival 2013 come to town. Folk lovers from all over will congress in Holmfirth to see musicians play and eat and drink in to the early hours. The Folk Festival creates a fantastic, vibrant atmosphere throughout the town and its businesses.

At Les Caveaux Folk Festival kicks-off this Friday, when we welcome back Steph Stephenson to the cellar bar to sing live around 9:30pm. Steph Stephenson is a singer, songwriter based in nearby Newmill. This will be Steph's 5th time at Les Caveaux Tapas & Wine Bar.

Steph performs a mixture of her own songs and also some covers. Her tone and style is described as 'a  contemporary take on folk music' and was described earlier this year as: "a real local talent!"


You can follow Steph Stephenson's progress on Twitter : @stephstephenson

On Saturday the Folk Festival gets in to full swing. With parades on the streets of Holmfirth and families and friends filling the streets you will be able to fill your stomach or quench your thirst at Les Caveax. Our BBQ will be fired up, with Morroccan Sausages ready to go in the hope we get some sunshine?! The Cellar Bar will be open from 1pm serving our wide selection of World Beer including our Spanish draught Lager Mahou.

Saturday night is also going to showcase another brilliant, young local talent. 20 year old Stuart Bray will take centre stage from around 9:30pm. Stuart is a singer/guitarist who  is a true entertainer and will undoubtedly have the whole cellar bar singing and dancing to his every word! His style is contemporary 'folky' style, but he will sing covers ranging from the 70's right through to current chart music.   

In truth I am really looking forward to Folk Festival 2013 and all that it brings. It promises to be busy and if the atmosphere within the restaurant is even half what it was last year then it will be a quality weekend for each and every customer! I hope to see all of you over the weekend hope you'll join us for a drink or maybe even treat yourself to some of our top quality tapas.
