“I absolutely love my hair, Alesha did a great job with the assistance of her colleague Emily. I have had many compliments since and will definitely recommend people to come to Halo. Thank you.”

“Took my car in to get the air conditioning regassed. I asked if i could stay and wait around till the car is done. The friendly gentleman at the desk asked a colleague and he then said yes to me. We chatted about cars for a bit and then after a while he said my car is ready. Very polite and professional service.”

“Lovely lively pub. Good beer and service.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Fantastic staff. Same two guys they don't keep changing. Free parking over the road. Been going for about 6 months excellent service and standard”

“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 :)”

“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!!”

“Always been a fan of the Turkish/Greek sort of grills and what a little gem this place is in the middle of, out of all places, Pontefract (no offense to anyone from Pontefract). It's a pretty cosy establishment, about 26 covers max, but any place of that size and a focused menu set, typically means they can focus on the quality of the dishes, and boy, tonight's meal was a joy. For anyone going for the first time, I'd definitely recommend the mixed grill as it has a full range of lamb kebab, lamb chop, adana (which btw was awesome, right lamb mince consistency with the delicate balance of herbs and spices), chicken kebab and chicken wing. Rice was flavourful and the salad refreshing with the appropriate amount of dressing. Other half has the chicken Marmanis, which was indeed tasty, white wine sauce with the mushrooms just right without being too salty or sharp. Only a slight blip was a tough tendon in her piece of chicken - something that can be easily corrected I'm sure. Baklava for dessert is home made rather than shop bought so that's a massive positive for me. All washed down with a Turkish apple tea to cleanse the pallette to end a surprising but delightful evening meal. Service was excellent and attentive, the team there are super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be back and is an establishment we will bring friends and family to. A must visit. 5*. If the team are reading this? teşekkür ederim”

“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.”

“Superb service from the staff. Very helpful and extremely friendly. A pleasant, friendly and relaxed environment. Thank you so much for helping me with my purchase.”

“Had a 2hour drive from Peterborough and it was worth it . Steve was so helpful went that extra mile for us . Will be going back soon to finish our bedroom off . A big thank you .”

“My first visit here and will definitely be back. It’s been a long journey getting from red back to the blonde I love and missed. I was very impressed with the outcome, he definitely knows his stuff! Also a huge thanks for squeezing me in late notice.”
