Proper country pub no frills excellent beer & chat dog friendly nice coal fires good location for walkerd near anglers country park

Good beer and clientele. Made welcome by all the locals and the landlord. We'll be visiting again soon.

The best pub you will ever go to, a warm welcome and a lovely friendly atmosphere. We've never felt so welcome in a pub.

Dec the landlord has won awards for is beer and his humour.This is a proper good old pub;it don't serve snap, but serves banter and blagarding in spades.A good old log fire and many a tale told with tears of laughter and aching ribs.

Fabulous Christmas Day afternoon the pub was packed. Lots of regulars and people staying in the caravan park. It's just like one big party everyone is so friendly & Derek (landlord) is brilliant. We will be back

Great pub landlord friendly and can tell a tale too!!! Recommend after a walk we was staying in the caravan site near by

So so friendly. A proper pub with a fire and lovely landlord. No food but good for a beer after a walk at the local lakes or in the evening if you're in the caravan park near. How pubs used to be!

My parents when young (now 80) always went to this pub when courting. My partner took them to reminisce. We was made welcome from the punters, and most of all the lovely landlord. We'll sure go again!!

After walking around the Country Park you may want to visit the Anglers for a quick drink or three! No food, just the usual crisps, nuts etc. Reasonably priced drinks, friendly staff and locals make this pub worth a visit.

Another fantastic afternoon with Derek at the Anglers Arms. This is the friendliest pub ever. We called yesterday for an hour & stayed four hours. Everyone makes you so welcome & laugh trust me there is know humour like the Barnskey humour.

hiden gem great pub small and frendly just around the corner from winterset lakes caravan park close by only a small pub but full of carectue the locals will make you fell at home right awey

Excellent old fashioned pub no frills . Local people supporting the tractor rally raising money for the air ambulance. Next to winterset lake caravan park both brilliant . If you like wine and cocktails not for you . Great people real ales .

Super real pub with real ale. The Barnsley Blonde was a treat! A warm welcome when we arrived from the caravan site next door after a long walk around the lakes. Fire was on. Good old fashioned hospitality.

Summer walk around here today beautiful views, the room on the broom activity was great for the kids. Shortage of parking for such a beautiful venue

Always call at this pub when we have walked round the lake at Wintersett. It is the friendliest pub ever and the landlord is amazing just wish we lived nearer and it could be our local.

Visited this pub on Sunday lunchtime with friends.This is the sort of pub that made this country great it brings communities together and had a really friendly atmosphere.

This old public house is situated in rural countryside and is home to many locals and their dogs lol...there is an open fire which is generally lit inside the tiniest of snugs, a dozen people inside this room and it is full to capacity. It is walker and dog friendly and we have often called in for a quick pint after an enjoyable walk. This pub is very close to the Wintersett Country park and the small camping site for tourers and tents. It has a large garden area where you can sit and enjoy the bird life in a very quiet setting.

Stayed on a caravan site 2 mins from here. Absolutely brilliant pub, it's like going back in time and I mean that as a compliment, lovely bloke behind the bar who never stops working, everyone seems to know each other and they were really friendly. A nice pint with lots to choose from. I loved everything about the place. We'll definitely return. Thanks

You wont get food and it does have old fashioned opening hours . But you will get a fantastic atmosphere from the really friendly landlord and locals. Make an effort to sit in the bar area and engage in conversation with the locals . They will give you lots if tips and advice on the local area and things to do. Great little pub

I don't call here often, but every visit is memorable because the beer is as well looked after as the customers. This is a perfect spot to end a walk. If it's cold and wet there's real fires, if it's sunny there's a large beer garden. Great pub.

This is an out of the way pub with no airs and graces just good beer and a friendly welcome. The main room boasts a multi fuel stove and plenty of seating. When we went we had taken our two labradors for a walk and called in for a pint and a packet of crisps. The place was packed with walkers and dog owners and it was obvious all dogs were as welcome as visitors. The landlord is an ex miner and being an ex miner myself had plenty in common. There is a good choice of beers and lagers and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Definately a must for walkers.

I went in as I had heard a lot about how good the pub is.Small and old fashioned which I like.Beer was excellent and locals were really friendly and gave me good advice about how to get to the country park by footpath avoiding road.Old fashioned stove in loungeadds to charm.5 minutes walk from bus stop of Wakefield-Barnsley services as well!large car park across from pub and lovely large beer garden make it very popular.Will definitely be back.

Been visiting this place on and off for years, in summer its always busy on a weekend, the beer garden is always full inside its a proper old pub with wood panelling and brass fittings ect all over the walls and a real open fire its like a time warp.

Lovely pub for a pint of bitter any day, glowing open fires and warm atmosphere. after a walk around the lovely country side of Yorkshire its a nice place to take a rest

Called here for a couple of pints after a long and enjoyable walk on a hot summer's day. It was a bit like going back in time, in a good way. Nice beer, drank outside. Lovely stuff.

This is the best pub in Wakefield. A regular pit stop for our Sunday bike rides in the beautiful surrounding countryside. Derek serves an excellent pint (Barnsley Bitter on par with Landlord). Flagstone floor with an open fire in winter and a wood-burning stove in the Saloon. It's a regular haunt for walkers, locals and regulars who turn up for a decent pint. As my son calls it, "it's a proper pub, a drinkers pub". And, thanks Derek, for Isaac's first pint on turning 18 .. on the house. (Derek also serves salted nuts and crisps for those who want a bite to eat.)

Great beer served here. We always stop for a pint after a nice walk or cycle round Anglers Country Park. Been going here for about 20 years now since we moved in just up the road. Not regulars by any means but I do like a good pint and they always have one here.

We visited The Anglers Rest to rekindle memories of 40 years ago to find the same unspoilt homely place with open fire, excellent real ales, wonderful, friendly atmosphere created by an excellent landlord and friendly locals.

Having been staying on the nearby caravan park recently. The Anglers has to some degree become my local. Fabulous ale (Barnsley Bitter), brilliant atmosphere good service. No food but a good old fashioned ale house run by a great old fashioned landlord Dec. not at all pretentious but welcoming

Altho this isn't a restaurant its a real pub atmosphere ..lovely friendly people ..I love to visit whenever im in Yorkshire ...I was made very welcome and the area is just so beautiful ..

Lovely traditional pub ! Nice to visit after a walk around the lake . Dogs very welcome inside too. It's a real ale pub popular with walkers . Roaring fires in both rooms in the winter very welcoming . It's nice to sit outside in the gardens when it's warm. Always has a good flower display in the summer . No food served at all . The locals and the l lord make the place a very interesting visit . Def recommend a good pint of beer .
