Ego at The Beverley Arms, Ackworth in Wakefield

Emma and tess severed us, they are super friendly and we were left full and happy

This was a disappointing visit as I wrote like ego as a chain. I ordered the duo of Pork which was a Serrano wrapped fillet and some pork belly. The latter was tasty enough but the fillet was dry almost to being inedible. I was the closest I have been to sending something back for a long time, but I was absolutely starving so I just gave my jaw a real workout. Desserts were nothing worthwhile either a tiramisu with little coffee flavour and too much sponge. Described as a torte but ending up as neither. The coffee was good though. Front of house staff were fab. I would hope I just picked up a dud plate. (Also apologies the picture of the pork is abysmal, it was either hunger shakes or eagerness to eat !)

Josh (and the food!) We're awesome 👌 5☆☆☆☆☆☆

Lovely atmosphere, gorgeous food, great service. Extra shout out to Megan our server who looked after us perfectly! We will be back very soon.

Great place. Friendly service. Dog friendly. Good food

Serviced by a lovely lady by the name of Phil

Good food, good service Although my cous cous looked like it had been re heated in microwave poorly as was stuck together, rest of meals were v good

Food was top class, great atmosphere. Service was good as far as hospitality goes, but got the order of 3 drinks wrong, then had to ask 15 later as they came after the food was served. Then charged for us for the faulty drink order, realised after checking the Receipt, so had to go back for a refund which was a bit embarrassing! 🙄

Disappointed 😞 Looked forward to this but it was a very poor experience. The starter came and we thought it was very nice, but unfortunately it went down hill from there. The order for my main was third choice as the first two things they didnt have. The mains for four of us took over an hour to arrive, which considering there was only another couple of tables with people on them was a surprise. The lamb I had was luke warm at best, having waited so long I thought I would just eat it, the roast potatoes well the less said the better. The pasta was cold and got sent back, it arrived back less than two minutes exactly the same. In the end they ask if we wanted something else. My sons dish consisted lamb and cus cus but the cus cus was solid and clumpy. We have been to the Horbury branch many many times and it has always been superb.

Food was very late, over 40 minutes wait; others who came in after served food before us. Supervisor approached who after referring to his boss gave drinks.. first time happened but needs reviewing

Just been to the ego the food was fantastic and so was the service. Levi was our waitress she was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed.

Waited far too long for our food after ordering, staff seemed stretched and rushed.. our conatacts Tess and Phil were very personable and friendly however ,let down by the overall experience.

Amount of food that they had run out of , served sunday lunch with no Yorkshire not telling us , food wasn't hot, very poor

we had a lovely time at EGO the food was lovely and the service was very good

First time eating there with my wife and 8 month old daughter beautiful food and drinks shame bout not much selection as like apple crumble or pie and don't like cinaminon

Beautiful food: We had the mixed hanging kebab and the duo of pork. Cooked to perfection. Staff, including Megan, were friendly and helpful. Really great service. If we are ever in the area again, would definitely revisit.

Lovely lunch today . Relaxed atmosphere, not rushed . Elle and the team looked after us

Thank you so much Levi! Beautiful service & amazing food , we will return!

I have recently started going to Ego regularly. I mainly go there with friends for lunch. The menu has one of the best choices for miles around. The atmosphere is relaxing and yesterday I went with friends for lunch. I had not seen them for many years and the staff were quite comfortable with us staying for three hours. I can highly recommend this venue.

Went with my girlfriend and her son and they both had food and said it was very nice unfortunately I'd been to the dentist 2 hours previous and my face was still numb so passed on the grub but Guinness was well kept . Busy as well at 5pm . Well done out and spacious attentive staff would definitely recommend and will definitely return and try the food.

Great every time we go! Recently had a family get together here and the service was amazing and gorgeous food

Brilliant, Levi was beyond perfect

Levi was an excellent waiter - good service and a smile! And the food - especially the sea bass - was delicious.

Three grandchildren thoroughly enjoyed burger night tonight. Three clean plates, food arrived very promptly, great choice and value. Staff very attentive and personable. Would recommend highly.

Staff are pleasant and efficient. Josh looked after us very well. Excellent venue and value

Good value on the Wednesday deal. 2 courses each for two for £30 or £40 with a bottle of wine. Been twice now and the food was spot on

Came for lunch today. There were about 10 customers in the whole restaurant. Our food (couple of wraps and a pizza) took over 1 hour to arrive. Waitress was really nice and pleasant but kitchen area was rediculously slowwwww. Won't be rushing back I'm afraid.

Another beautiful meal served by lovely friendly staff

Great service , excellent staff , the food is delicious. We definitely recommend

We visited for a birthday meal and chose the £40 for 2 deal. My starter of toasted goat’s cheese and Jen’s beetroot chutney was delicious, as was my partner’s gambas al pilpil. For the main course we both chose chicken Milanese with fries and a side salad, all of which was excellent. We had a bottle of house white wine, which went very well with everything. Our server, Elle, was charming and efficient, as always. All the staff looked happy in their jobs and it was a lovely atmosphere. We shall be back soon.

Waited a very long time for food. Staff seemed un phased .£10 Kebab night, my Kebab @ £20 had 4 pieces of meat and copious amounts of vegetables. Poor value !!!! Childs meal ( chicken tenders ) were very dry so must have been overcooked. We won’t be returning couldn’t wait to leave.

Staff very friendly and attentive. Fully conversant with dishes on the menu.

Recently visited Ego for Sunday dinner, on arrival we were sat down to the table to be told there was no beef. I would understand if we visited at the end of food service but our reservation was 15:00. I then ordered a bottle of wine to be told they had no wine left and the alternative was another bottle which was £7 more expensive. When the meal came the green beans were rock hard and the plate was overloaded with cabbage. Due to them running out of beef we had to then pay an additional £4 each for Lamb. So overall we had to pay an additional £15 on top of our bill for a fault on their behalf. We have eaten here numerous times and it’s always been quite pleasant, however I will not be visiting for Sunday lunch again!

My favourite local pub, I go regularly. Great vegan food options and the service is excellent, lovely friendly staff and its dog friendly, I never go without my dog and the seating area for dogs is just lovely. Definitely worth a visit whether for lunch or dinner. The food is delicious.

Lovely decor, lovely staff and lovely cocktails 🍸.

Value for money with 2 4 1 fresh cocktails and a well priced lunch menu. Staff were very friendly with us and our dogs and nothing was too much trouble. Nice to have a decent dog friendly pub/restaurant where dog owners areas are still nicely decorated and well positioned. Will definitely go again.

Me and my team have visited this restaurant multiple times, hoping that the service would improve, but unfortunately, it’s been consistently disappointing. The food is pretty average to be honest, and the ambiance is ok, but the service is incredibly slow. Each time we gone, we had to wait far longer than expected to receive our food. They do not even offer complimentary bread and butter or anything like that to keep guest occupied. It’s clear that they are either understaffed or poorly managed because the wait time seems to be an issue regardless of how busy they are. It’s unfortunate because this place has potential, but the slow service makes it hard to enjoy the dining experience. Unless they improve, I won’t be returning anytime soon. If you have the patience of a saint, give it a try; otherwise, I’d recommend looking elsewhere

Visited tonight with my friends and my 4 month old son. Food lovely as always, good value offer of 2 courses for £19 before 17:30. Service was excellent, my baby had fallen asleep when the mains came and one of the staff members (sorry didn't catch a name but training to be a nurse) even offered to hold him while I ate my food (I've got used to doing things one handed but thought this was such a kind thing to offer!) Will definitely be back 😊

Loved the food, the service is great. Only 4 stars on the food, purely as I still believe it is on the expensive side, but the quality of the food was fantastic.

Since it’s refurb emailer this year I’ve visited several times for meals which have all been excellent along with all the staff who are so friendly/attentive It’s a fantastic place with plenty of options The referb has made such a difference for that cozy dining experience now 🙌🏼

Disastrous. If I could rate it a zero I would.

Excellent food, nice staff, but service very slow

An enjoyable evening spent with friends.

Booked a table for 2, gorgeous food, waitress was great, great atmosphere. Will definitely return. Thankyou for a fantastic evening

Excellent afternoon tea at Ego. Great selection of food: "Sandwiches & SavouriesMature cheddar & caramelised red onion sandwich (v) Prawn Marie Rose & cucumber sandwich Salmon & dill fishcake with tartare sauce Spiced falafel & red pepper tapenade (v) Lemon chicken, sundried tomato, mayonnaise & rocket sandwich Scones & Mini Desserts Sodda’s clotted cream & strawberry jam - Scone with Rodda’s clotted cream & strawberry jam Triple chocolate brownie Sicilian lemon tart Frangipane & raspberry tart" Friendly and welcoming service, great quality food and good value at £15.95 each. Will definitely be back again soon.

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea. Everything was delicious and full of flavour. Friendly service and nice atmosphere on a busy Saturday. Only £15.95 per person (£5 extra for a glass of prosecco or a gin and tonic). Available Monday to Saturday between 2 - 3:30pm, you need to book in advance. They also offer 2 for 1 cocktails 2 - 4pm daily so you can combine the two deals. Nice way to spend an afternoon!

A lovely setting, delicious food and excellent friendly service.

Been quite a few times before, meals are always lovely. But would just like to mention one girl in particular, Holly that brought us over a plate that she had made up for my mum for her birthday, it had fruit with chocolate over it. We did not ask her to do this she brought it over to us we were shocked at first, she said she overheard us. I just think she deserves a mention has it was a lovely thing to do & it made my Mums day so again Thank you :-)

Lovely food in a great setting. Staff attentive and service quick. As a group with poor hearing we found the conservatory a bit difficult to hear in especially with a noisy part behind us

Popped in for a Beer with my partner to celebrate a successful interview.. We had A great time

Emma and the team looked after us really well and the food was excellent especially the steaks definitely recommend steak night on Tuesdays great value for money

Getting a cold hot meal. A steak & Ale pie want mash but got over cook chips. Other people got served before us and a table of 4.

Not too impressed, which is a shame. Nice premises, good location, pleasant staff..... but... When I booked, the slot gave me 90 minutes. If you're going to allocate slots, service needs to be quicker. Took 50 minutes once ordered to food arriving. The paella was mushy, only found 3 small pieces of chicken and it was tasteless. The mini dessert - Raspberry and White Eton mess - 🤔 no raspberries, just crispy sprinkles, and and served on a red hot plate, probably straight out of the dishwasher/steriliser with the cream melting.....yuk.... Our visit was our treat after 3 exhausting days with grandchildren. With today's prices, and I don't mind spoiling myself, I expect value for money and good standards. If your going to allocated times slots..... then 'jump to it'..... My husbands meal was OK. We would return, it's a nice place, it deserves a 2nd chance.

Levi's service at Ego was outstanding tonight. We visit often, but she truly excelled this evening. From the moment we arrived, her attention to detail and friendly demeanor made our experience exceptional. She anticipated our needs, offered excellent recommendations, and ensured everything was perfect throughout our meal. Levi's professionalism and warmth are why we keep coming back, and tonight she went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. We can't wait to return and hope to be served by her again.

Food was amazing, the staff are all very welcoming and the village people are very lovely

Excellent evening at Ego. The food was fantastic and the service amazing . Thanks especially to Levi for ensuring we had a lovely evening! Would definitely recommend’

Excellent service and very polite staff, thanks Levi.

Brilliant time for mum on her 90th birthday. Food excellent and service excellent- thank you Elle and Georgina. From the bucks fizz for mum as a gift from the venue to dessert for those who wanted them the experience was amazing. Many thanks to Elle for her patient and knowledgeable dealings with the dairy/wheat averse relatives who got what they needed without fuss. We'll be back

Just wanted to say we had a lovely time tonight, our server was attentive and always happy to help despite us throwing her some challenges. My daughter had a milk allergy and she was catered for with care. The food was delicious and despite a slight miscommunication by me in terms of timings, the server did what she could to ensure this was fixed as quickly as possible. Would definitely return.

We celebrated my son’s 8th birthday here last night and the experience was fantastic. The staff were so accommodating and food was lovely xx

I’ve noted the negatives left by others but first time here with friend for her bday and it was the best food selection available. Initially had seen the ad on Facebook for the summer mocktails and cocktails selections and thought finally a place with a range of mocktails for the designated drivers such as myself. The range wasn’t huge but each one we tried was amazing. Very refreshing and punchy… we had the tropical pineapple and then strawberry mocktails amongst others. Love love love!!! Ordered the calamari starter and garlic mushrooms and came out piping hot and cooked amazing. Yes it looked and tasted amazing - not overly cooked or dripping in oil etc. The mains we went for the carte menue and at two or three course option the prices were v good. It saved going through the rest of the menu which had an array of different dishes which all appeared sooo memorising we decided let’s narrow it down and stick with the set options and that narrows the range down abit more. The prawn and chillie linguine and friend ordered the chicken dish …. Both arrived piping hot. Ok if compared to bella italia yes Bella italia is amazing in its food but you can feel it - it’s can be heavy and quickly can become food coma. These dishes here today - cooked to perfection. The chicken was crispy in right places with amazing sauce. Rich and and delish. The linguine - abs perfection. In my opinion you can get this right or wrong and often the king prawns (as were in this dish) are often rubbery and over done. Not this one! It was cooked perfect and the pasta was light, not stodgy like some places and tasted v healthy. The chillie was the right hit - enough to make your mouth tingle and feel that warmth every after eating but not soo hot you’re burning your mouth out. It was fresh , tasted fresh and felt v v healthy… some places can feel too greasy and stodgy but not this. I abs enjoyed this dish. Then for dessserts… this is the crucial thing : it’s either have one and let it ruin the taste of the mains / over power what you have eaten with the hit of all the sweetness and launch you into a foods coma or not have one. We decided to risk it. In come the choc and salted caramel tart with ice cream and for me the rhubarb and gin crumble with ice cream. I DO NOT REGRET. This again perfectly complemented everythin we ate - the right level of richness but not heavy and cooked from fresh. This dessert unlike other places did not put us in a food coma. It was the right portions and the right tastes which meant that each dish didn’t undermine the other and perfectly complemented eachother with no risk of feeling overwhelmed or stuffed beyond stupid. People complain about the service but the drinks and started arrived v quick. You have to allow enough time between the drinks and the starters and then between starters and the mains. There was I feel enough wait time between each which was 10-15 mins at most. The staff was absolutely amazing - kept making sure we were okay, food was ok and if we needed anything. It maybe that it wasn’t overly busy - but enough to keep them going - they have a separate room they hire out for private events regularly so they were busy attending to that too but this never affected their attention towards us . Not sure who the lovely gent was (maybe manager / supervisor) had spikey hair but was abs delight to speak to - he on hand to answer any questions, ran off the sort of menus and specials they ran on each day (which is different everyday and he literally had it all memorised ; all done without referring back t any thing.) and an absolute delight all round. Whoever he is I hope they keep him permanently & not lose him. He kept checkin if the food was ok etc if we needed anything. He made us feel v comfortable. The place itself it’s absolutely big - you don’t realise that on looking from the outside and had ample parking which is a bonus. Easy to get to and leave. It’s abs clean, great decor and overall We loved the ambience -& feel to it. Really relaxed dining & the mental peace & Q and uplift we needed. TY!

Food was fantastic. Service was very slow, seems like we were forgotten about whilst a neighbouring table saw two separate groups of people have 3 course meals and go. Conservatory room was very hot and stuffy, needs some fans.

Food arrived in stages for people ? Kids meals arrived very late !! Steak grissly and I was surprised at £25 there was chips and a tomato!?? Staff not the best and they asked for feedback and so I told them ..Don't know what they will do with it???? Water for the table was brought after we had eaten our mains ?? 31 guests who generally spent at least £20 plus each, treat customers better amd they may return !! Lastly asked who wanted desert ? Sat here and I had ordered ? Why weren't you aware of it ???????? You have lost 31 guests through our bad treatment .

Eleven of us attended for a birthday meal on a Monday evening from 7pm, 12 months on from eleven of us saying we'd never return after an appalling experience. Surely lightening couldn't strike twice. Unfortunately it did. Leaving that place knowing they'd had a few hundred quid off us genuinely felt like someone had punched me in the stomach. The service was appalling. Constant chasing on our part for drinks, no communication on why starters and mains were delayed......just an overall feeling that nobody was in charge. No management presence. The food itself was nice. Nothing to swoon over but nice. Such a shame that this place is all shiny, sparkling to look at but has nothing to back it up.

Have been here a few times, the food is good but nothing special, which wouldn't be so bad but it's quite expensive (around £25 per head for Sunday lunch including a drink - a pint of coke is £4.95). Service is generally good, but had a 3 course meal where for 2 of the courses my partner and I were served our food and my child was left to wait, which was a bit upsetting for them. There's some great value carveries around the area that are definitely worth a visit ahead of here.

Starter, garlic mushrooms good, main course shocking. Pan fried chicken, dry overcooked, sauce none existent, gnocchi, chef obviously has no idea what that is because what we got did not resemble gnocchi, it was slimy goo. Very disappointed, will never return

been for first time today and it will be my last food is not good for price £19 for a dry chicken breast sat on peas mushrooms and gnocchi that was just like raw dough sauce none existent not enjoyable at all

The staff were very lovely - kind and attentive. However the food took far too long to arrive and when it did it was dry and overcooked. Staff were waiting around at the hotplate for a long time waiting for food to be ready.

Great place, lovely atmosphere ,amazing food recommend to all

Enjoyed a leisurely lunch in pleasant surroundings. Staff were welcoming and friendly and the service was excellent. We had two courses, starter and main and drinks. The food was tastefully presented and most enjoyable. We shall visit again!

Absolutely amazing. We sat in the conservatory. We had starters and full Sunday roast with 3 different meats. Can't fault a thing. The food, the service and the place all faultless. I can't believe that we've only just found this place for food! I've driven past it for years but will be a firm favourite from now on.

Good menu, great offers, very tasty food

Well had cocktails she was very polite, and wow, the service was fab. Only one thing was not enough. Bar staff when it was busy, but she did an amazing job 👏

Had a fab meal, the choice is great and service excellent as always. Would highly recommend

Been a couple of times recently, New Year and a birthday. Always excellent. Food always delivers and staff very friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend

Not really a pub pub more gastro foody joint. Ideal place for intimate celebration. Beer kept well.

From the outside looking in we definitely expected better. Music was far too quiet you could hear every conversation the staff were all having even from the kitchen and the cars from the main road, the décor inside was lovely and the front of house were polite but the wait for food was ridiculous especially with the place being absolutely empty! The pizza I had was so severely burnt thats all i could taste over any of the toppings. Been a chef for 15 years and im still astonished that the pizza was sooooo black and bitter and well burned but somehow the pizza was soft and soggy! Deserts weren’t much better and two of the three people have come away with a dodgy stomach!

Unfortunately, I have to say Ego was disappointing, my friends and I all had the Sunday roast, the roast potatoes were like rock and the food was cold. I feel Ego is expensive, which I don't mind if you enjoy the food, we did not! The restaurant seemed very quiet, maybe because it is so expensive. My positive is the staff, they were all very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately, I will not be rushing back to Ego

Excellent all round performance.

1st time here and was seated in the conservatory. The pub itself is very spacious and decorated really nice. We ordered from the “All day Monday “ menu. £20.95 for 2 courses. All the food we ordered was very nice, but not very hot. A couple of us chose starters and a couple chose deserts for the two courses. Our starters came within about 25 mins of ordering but our main courses, I had to ask where our food was after waiting for a good 50 mins! I was told it would be about 5 mins which really it was going on for 15 mins. I would have understood if the restaurant was busy but it wasn’t. My daughter had no starter so in all she was waiting over an hour and half for food! No one came and asked how our food was either. All in all the food was nice, a little on the small side could have been hotter and the service could have been better. Oh but was dog friendly! 🐶

Enjoyed Lunch here today . Service was good , we were seen as we walked in and taken to our table. I had cocktails on 2-4-1 which are good value. The food was nice and good value , we requested the sharing platter and some starters and truffle chips to be brought together , which all arrived as requested. We’ll definitely be going back.

1st time visiting this restaurant. Very disappointed with my meal. There were 4 of us and 3 meals arrived with mine following later when the others had nearly finished their meal. I asked for a steak well done as I don’t like the blood. The plate arrived with the steak sitting in a pool of pink liquid (diluted blood). I cut the stake and it was medium rare. I sent it back and it arrived back 10 minutes later. This time the outside of the steak was like old boot leather but the steak inside was still bloody. I left the steak and ate the chips. Won’t go there again.

Decent food, little expensive for what it is, lacks character.

We have just had a lovely meal and a most exceptional service from Josh who was just glorious! He is a total asset to your establishment. We will be back ASAP! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Staff attentive and friendly an asset to this place. I am a coeliac and find dining out usually stressful, but it was so easy to dine here, and the food quality is excellent miles above normal pub chains. Only visit the area now and again but will be back guaranteed. Thank you for an enjoyable experience.

Enjoyed a few cheeky cocktails with friends. Good service and atmosphere.

Lovely meal, very helpful and pleasant staff. 👍😊

Went for a 30th birthday party with my wife ordered 2 starters and 2 main courses only got one starter the other came with main course and my main course was lamb and to say it was in a sauce it was very very dry could eat it all and it was the same for most of our party will not eat here again

Went here for a nice meal never tasted anything as awful in my life steak was a lump of charcoal on my plate garlic mushrooms was a dish of garlic and desert was very hard staff were lovely but the food should be avoided overpriced and not nice

Really nice Staff friendly Good for us as it's dog 🐕🐶 friendly 😊

we had a family meal here tonight and sorry to say the food was not good. I had to send my main back and share my sons. There was a discount applied but honestly they should have changed us just for the drinks. My son paid for a treat and shame what a let down.

It is not often I write a review like this but on this occasion I feel it is well deserved. We have eaten at several Ego restaurants and always been very pleased. So we decided to eat Sunday lunch here. When we arrived it was cold and uninviting inside and it took some time before we eventually found someone to show us to our reserved table. The waitress was pretty friendly but the overall service was nowhere near as good as we have received at other Ego locations. Starters were ok but then there was nearly an hour wait before our main course finally arrived and even then it was not hot and the roast beef was definitely not pink, more well done as were the bullet like potatoes. We sent one meal back as it was so cold. When it was brought back it was only slightly warmer. At no point after this did anyone check if we wanted any more drinks or if everything was ok. When we asked to speak to a manager to provide feedback on our meal he responded that he had only started at 1pm which was when we arrived. After offering several excuses he eventually offered a reduction on our bill. The waiting staff spent a lot of time standing waiting at the pass so it was definitely not a lack of waiting staff causing the delays. We will not be returning to Ego for a very long time if ever.

Great food and a lovely environment, friendly staff and excellent deals available throughout the week

We had a lovely meal. I had the beef bourginion and it was really good. The service was great too. Very friendly staff.

Had to wait 2 hours for our pre ordered food to arrive. To be fair we had a large party so did expect some waiting. When the food did arrive I can hands down say it was the worst food I have ever had. We had the beef bourginon (sp) and it was actually unedible. Me close friends had the lemon chicken and it was swimming in grease. Will never be coming back.

This was a good meal. Just good, not exceptional. Prefer Horbury Ego for ambience. Food is always good. Situated on a major road junction and car park is not big enough for everyone wishing to dine here. Better to eat after 8pm for dinner. Northerners eat early so busy from 5pm to 7pm.

Took a pint back as it was off, it didn't smell or tasteright. The bar woman rolled her eyes, but gave me another pint.

Smaller portions for the price. Also the time form being ordered to service is extremely delayed. Would be better experience if the service was quicker.

Been to a few ego's and had relatively good experiences...however we tried the Friday night half price menu at the Beverly arms...I ordered the filet steak which should have been £30, disappointed was an under statement the steak was terrible, never a filet and bland over cooked,....I can see why they promote half price because your not actually getting what they would offer you if your paying top whack, it wasn't only me, my daughters ordered the same which was as equally bad. Suppose you get what you pay for, I'll stick to paying full price in future, at least I can complain knowing I've not ordered the cheaper option. On a good note the staff were excellent👍🏻.

Love this place. Absolutely brilliant food and staff
