The 30 Best Grill pub in Wakefield

“Excellent quality food and fantastic service. All the meats were excellent and the staff kept bringing more. There’s a pleasant self-service salad/buffet bar too. It was basically empty on our afternoon visit so we got excellent personal service and everything cooked specifically for us. The minted lamb was my personal favourite. We will be back.”

“Tried this for the first time and omg it is fantastic quick service but you can taste how fresh their food is, burgers are phenomenal albeit a little bit peppery on a couple of bites, fantastic staff and I will definitely be going again.”

“My family and I recently had a fantastic experience at Valentinos. The restaurant manager, Carlos, was the consummate host, with a comprehensive command of the menu, and able to offer a brilliant recommendation. Our drinks waiter, Giorgio, was extremely attentive and interacted wonderfully with our children; and Ryan, who dealt with our food, treated us like royalty. A class act all round.”

“Love this place. Its turned into the go-to whenever I work in the area. All staff are great, rooms are so clean and presentable, and food in the pub is so lovely. Breakfast cooked to order and a really good dinner menu at excellent prices. Highly recommend it and will be back again.”

“Always good service and friendly atmosphere.”

“Malt shovel hull The best pub in the area been going in this pub for over 15 years + graham and Christine have always made us feel welcome never no trouble warm and friendly . Even with Covid always felt safe with the way the pub is run and a big shout out to the bar staff especially Clair and Anne always their with a smile on their face their a credit to the pub .”

“Delicious food, efficient and friendly service, very clean restaurant with a lovely atmosphere.”

“Well, what can I say about this place. Nothing as there are no words that can describe it. No.seriously. :-) The food is outstanding, and the service is second to none from the minute you walk through the door until you leave. I left SA 31 years ago and have struggled to find anywhere that can cook a steak like I get there until now. The photos don't do this place justice. 12/10”

“Lovely view from balcony at the back, not many places you can sit outside and have a beer with this view !”

“Great bar, locals love it. Super friendly. It has a good range of ever-changing cask beers. Late opening. I visited 3 times in 4 nights. (I've no idea about food here, but Google needs a score, hence middle.)”

“Apparently Google would like me to update my review. Can I do six stars? Best bar in Wakefield, only one even close is The George and Crown. Go to either of these places, you will not be disappointed”

“This is one of my favourite pubs in Wakefield. It has a superb location and a large selection of seating from outside on the lawn and the pub garden to inside the pub or it's conservatory. The pub itself is very old and worth visiting purely for this reason. It's full of character and is worth seeing. As for the food - the pies here are next level. The staff are always friendly. So yes definitely one to visit.”

“Stopped by for dinner to enjoy a bit of Americana, and we were welcomed with open arms. Wonderful staff and service, I had the ribs which were incredible, we also enjoyed several cocktails including the old fashioned and the snow-ito which were both delicious. Upon learning my partner is from north america, the chef excitedly gave us a kitchen tour, adding to the friendly and welcoming feel of the place. We ended up spending way too much as what we meant to be a quick dinner turned into a 3 course meal. Would visit again!”

“Fabulous day for my daughter's baby shower, the autumnal theme was spectacular, the food, service and atmosphere was brilliant, Abbey and her staff are hardworking and polite and made the day so special. I would definitely recommend The White Horse.”

“I love this place. I have been here multiple times and every thing was on the high level. Food is delicious and always served on top level. Service is always nice and friendly specially Magda. She welcomed us with smile and nice chat. She took care of us all evening. Definitely will be back!”

“An incredible meat feast! I could hardly fault a thing with my meal nor the service. The 'Full House' burger was top tier. A mouthwatering stack of chunky beef patties which had superb flavour, tasty pulled pork and bacon as well as thick wedges of brisket. The brisket was a tad dry in places so a little chewy but had amazing flavour from the smoker. The bun was sweet and nicely buttered but fell apart quite easily and was also a bit dry. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite though. The sweet potato fries were great and the coleslaw was some of best I've ever had. I also had a half rack of BBQ ribs. These were really good value for the amount I got. They were also up close to the best I've ever had. Very little fat and the meat was lean but had a nice crop coating from the grilling. It's not a cheap place to eat but you do get a lot for your money so perfect for a rare treat.”

“Had such a great evening there. The food was delicious, we loved the options (not too many but quite varied, so great for people with different taste). Would absolutely recommend, will come back!”

“Favourite local pub! Great food with so many spaces to eat and drink depending on the weather and occasion. Also enjoy the themed nights and to go in for a beer while the footy is on. Paul and his staff are hospitable and always so accomodating!”

“Service was very good, food was excellent and reasonably priced. Had a table for 2 on Saturday evening and had a really good time. Its been recently refurbished and they've done a great job of it. There's the bar area upstairs if you only want drinks or the restaurant downstairs if you're dining out, both refurbished to a high standard. Would definitely recommend paying a visit”

“It was the first time we've been for pie night and it didn't disappoint. The slice of pie was as big as the welcome we received from the friendly polite staff. The food quality was amazing and if you like your pies full of meat you'll love this place. The kids enjoyed their food and cleared their plates as quick as we did, they even asked to come again and for £3 for pie and £3/£2 for fries,mash or veg well definitely be coming again soon.”

“Lovely breakfast buffet. None of the cheap ingredients that you usually get on a buffet, all proper stuff and very tasty. Have as much or as little as you want for £7.99. Unlimited refills on tea and coffee too. Pub was clean and bright with plenty of seating inside and out. Staff very friendly and helpful. No ales on the bar unfortunately (not that I wanted one with breakfast)”

“Amazing Christmas dinner for work! Emily made sure everything was done properly and we felt well looked after. I will be back!”

“Great little Bar in Wakefield, great for live music and ger togethers with friends. Nice Meals upstairs also & great beer.”

“What an amazing Sunday lunch we both had the lamb dinner it was cooked to perfection looked wonderful with a lovely garnish to top it off. The service was second to none. Thank you the red kite and all your team. We will definitely be back”

“Famed for their burgers, it was great to see they had a plant-powered menu with a large selection of options! Myself obviously going for the “Hey Hot Stuff” which was a @movingmountainsfoods patty, vegan cheese, jalapeños, roquito chillies, onion rings, spicy vegan mayo and the usual burger toppings. There’s a good selection of sides too, but what won it for me was the Vegan Duck Loaded Fries! Quacking with flavour, the ‘duck’ was succulent and tender! Smothered with juicy hoisin sauce and topped hoisin mayo, toasted sesame seeds, spring onions and red chillies. I would happily return here just to gutbash on the fries alone! And there’s few venues up and down the country, including London, Leeds and Manchester. Real messy but so worth it!”

“Friendly local pub with plenty of entertainment and karaoke. The beer garden is great in summer and the crowd’s welcoming once you settle in.”

“Nice pub with plenty of parking and friendly staff. Pool table available and ample seating outside. I did not have food but saw a family eating and tge food look good and smelled lovely”

“The home made chips are back!! I can honestly say they have definitely been worth the wait! My Daughter also highly rates the chocolate fudge cake. Can’t wait to sample the rest of the new home made menu. Michael & Amber & the rest of the staff are absolutely wonderful and always greet you with a warm & welcoming smile. They’ve worked so hard to try and get this pub back to its best and I really hope it pays off for them. The transformation inside is amazing, so light & bright and the bar looks fantastic. Safe to say we will be regular visitors!”

“I visit regular and have always enjoyed my visit. Food is always bang on, service is always fast and polite. Ordering on the app makes it really convenient. Clean inside and out, lovely surroundings and plenty for the kids. Thanks to all the staff for making our weekly visit enjoyable for all the family.”
