Bar pub in Pontefract

“Excellent place to have a kids Party, plenty of room for the little ones to play and a bouncy castle for extra if required. Provide your own catering so can be as cheap/expensive as you want to make it. Couldn't be more accommodating. If weather is good Sutcliffe play is over the road too with a great outdoor play park.”

“Was fortunate enough to catch this gem of a pub before it's demise really can't understand how a pub with great music reasonable priced beer and decent staff can't stay in business . Was made really welcome as an out of towner. If I'd gone to this boozer first I would have stayed all night.”

“Pleasantly surprised by the Sunday lunch. Good value for money and a lovely atmosphere Be warned they do not allow you to give a tip on a credit card.”

“Great club, very clean and always neatly presented. Lovely and friendly people. Also many different activities including vocalist turns, meals, quiz nights, bingo etc”

“Lovely lively pub. Good beer and service.”

“Called in with my wife on Friday afternoon whilst visiting Pontefract. Lovely friendly landlady and a great selection of cask ales,will be back soon.”

“Brilliant place....myself and a friend go here once a week for pool. The table is brilliant. 10p a game!! Beer is cheap. Landlord is a nice respectable bloke and the customers ive come across are all decent people!”

“Great place: amazing variety of drinks, friendly welcome and superb entertainment”

“Wow. Lovely midweek lunch of bacon steaks, lovely buttery mash etc all brilliant. Very attentive to my food allergy, great service and lovely surroundings. I can highly recommend and look forward to returning again.”

“On arrival the landlord gave me a guided tour. Really nice regulars in a comfy setting, log fired in the winter months with a good selection of beers to choose from. There are live bands entertaining during each month with tastes for all kinds of music. Nice start to the night when visiting Ropergate or a snug afternoon tipple, definitely one to go to!”

“I recently stayed at Rogerthorpe Manor Hotel and had a wonderful experience. I was absolutely delighted to find my suite beautifully decorated for Christmas—it made the stay feel so festive and special. ​The service was excellent throughout my visit. Every staff member I encountered was friendly and welcoming. I have to give a special mention to the team for their help with room service; nothing was too much trouble for them. I highly recommend staying here for a festive break!”

“I know the chef at this restaurant and his cooking is superb! Food is excellent and the hospitality is like no other restaurant I've been too. I highly recommend for anyone local, new comers, or those that are passing by to stop by and grab a bite at this cute little spot :)”

“Fantastic food great atmosphere very friendly staff”

“First visit for drinks then returned for dinner. The superb range of dishes on the menu made it hard to choose. My partner went for duck breast, while I had chicken in a mushroom and brandy sauce. Both meals were delicious. Drinks were well priced and the staff were first class. Friendly, helpful and efficient. The whole ambience of the place is chilled and relaxed with good music and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.”

“Dropped in on a Sunday afternoon after Grok (my AI) suggested the Angel as the best spot for a Sunday lunch between Pontefract and Barnsley, boy did grok nail that recommendation!! Fitted us in no problem, food was just amazing (especially the black pudding wrapped scotch eggs!!) portions were huge, like the Yorkshire puddings!!, vegetables all cooked to perfection. Definitely couldn’t fault a single thing, well done to you all, and a shout out to the fabulous staff. Thanks for a great Sunday lunch, you didn’t disappoint and Grok rules for recommendations!!”

“Very warm welcome, big pizzas at fair prices, drink fairly priced also. The whole pub and grounds has been renovated to a very nice old/modern look standard. Definitely will return”

“wenr last night ,my first time and wow whot a place, gteat staff great food and fantastic turn defo coming back”

“Very good little village pub with large beer garden and plentiful outdoor seating. Has some additional seating to the front as well. A very well kept and clean pub with extremely shiny brasses. Natural stone walls and chunky wooden beams. Handpulled cask beers were Black Sheep and Farmer's Blonde. Also had a selection of sandwiches available. All good, would revisit and would recommend.”

“Lovely dogs friendly pub, very friendly staff, couple of nice cask ales and ciders to choose from”

“Brilliant pub, great atmosphere, good classic tunes on the sound system. Frequent live acts. Food only available on special events, unless you count crisps. Love the Thursday quiz and play your cards right.”

“Brilliant bar, lovely decor, and a good selection of drinks & games to play”

“Had a delightful meal here recently, staff couldn't have been more welcoming or accomodating. We forgot to specify that we were booking for a meal so there wasn't supposed to be food on that night but one of the staff swapped into her chef whites & cooked us up a delicious feast. Would absolutely recommend, baked camembert (both flavours) & the mussels were spot on!”

“Cracking beers , stouts , and at £3.50 a pint you can’t go wrong , friendly and welcoming, bloke behind the bar is great , good sense of humour.”

“Had a meal here on the chef’s first night – it was excellent. Will definitely be back. Slowly becoming like it used to be years ago. The landlord really makes the place; his personality and welcome give it a great atmosphere.”

“I cannot thank Kings Croft enough for hosting our wedding last weekend. From start to finish, I couldn’t fault them. All staff were attentive and friendly, and were quick to reply to my never ending questions! On the day, the staff couldn’t do enough for us. The food was the best wedding food we’ve ever had! Amazing!”
