Ego at The Beverley Arms, Ackworth in Wakefield

I’ve given this restaurant two chances, and unfortunately, both visits have been a letdown. The service is consistently slow, with long waits to even place an order, let alone receive the food. Almost 3 hours for a Sunday roast is abysmal. When the food finally arrived, it was underwhelming - both in quality and presentation. Given the wait times, I expected something worth the delay, but instead, it felt like a waste of time and money. With so many better dining options available, I can’t justify giving this place another try. If you’re after a relaxed meal with good service and quality food, I’d suggest looking elsewhere.

Gorgeous food, amazing service and a wonderful night

Delicious menu, first class service, fantastic times. Thank you

Josh was absolutely fantastic as a host, he was brilliant with my son and very welcoming, adding to the lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. We all had a Sunday roast which none of us could fault, would definitely recommend!

Sarah was an excellent waitress

Went for Wednesday lunch offer Was excellent, good service, good food, good prices. Definitely recommend.

Great food and reasonable prices, good service and very friendly atmosphere.

Great visit. Everything was perfect. Food atmosphere and staff all excellent.

Really enjoyed our Valentines meal. The food and service were first class. This is our first visit to this Ego but it certainly won't be the last

Went for the set Valentine's meal tonight. Both of us enjoyed all three courses, superb tasty food, and not rushed. An enjoyable evening and good service. Just to add, we were in the conservatory bit , and although they had some high up heaters it was still a tad cold.

Had a 3 course valentine meal at Ego at The Beverley Arms. Our server Georgina was fantastic. As I have an allergy to Gluten, her help was very much appreciated. Oh and thank you for arranging for me to have Eton mess for pudding 😋 😋.

Great service, Lucy and Jess brought our food over, and they were very lovely and polite, as was all the other staff. We felt very welcomed and will be returning soon. Also the food was delicious, shout out to the chefs. Recommend to all. 👍

Wonderful birthday meal for grandad! Huge thank you to Tess for her fantastic hospitality and entertaining our little ones- she really made our visit so special! We will be back in a rush!

Lovely place for food and drinks

Another beautiful meal served by lovely friendly staff

Lovely food at Ackworth Ego and our waitress Georgina was absolutely brilliant, attentive, a good listener and very welcoming and professional!

We have never had a bad meal or service at Ego, we particularly love the Ackworth restaurant, we came to take advantage of the 50% off mains deal, and tonight we were served by Levi who was lovely and polite and even catered to some amendments to my meal. A lovely experience as always.

Great atmosphere, quality food, comfortable surroundings, excellent service.

Always enjoy Ego at The Beverley Arms, Ackworth. Food always superb and excellent service every time. Thanks to Phil for waiting on us on this occasion.

Great service by Phil on Sunday night. Highly recommend the sirloin and the apples and elderflower fizz!

Always loved the Beverley arms, Phil was excellent and made sure we were well taken care of.

Lovely food and excellent service, as always.

Great service from the whole team but especially from Adam who ensured we had a lovely birthday lunch experience and helped with menu choices

Had a great evening, food and service both fantastic, can't wait to go again

Always have a great experience here. Has excellent vegan options and is dog friendly. My favourite local place for a meal. Cant recommended this place enough.

I remember The Beverley Arms from years ago, but the re-furbishment is amazing. This Ego is much better than the one at Horbury in all respects. Phill looked after us superbly well, the food was fantastic and we had the most enjoyable 3 hours, no rushing to get us out. Our second visit and we'll definitely be back.

We meet friends here several times a year - four of us altogether. Location very good for this as we each take an hour to get here, combining it with a morning visit to Nostell Priory. Menu is extensive and very varied meaning we can all find something we like including some creative vegetarian dishes. It is also dog friendly which is very important as we always bring our dog. We wouldn't visit if it wasn't! And dog friendly areas aren't tucked away but spaces you'd pick to sit without a dog. The lunch menu and Wednesday menus are particularly good value and as a member I receive other offers during the year. Staff are friendly and professional, welcome excellent. When we visited yesterday our server was Craig and we couldn't have had better service. Really look forward to our visits there!

Not been here for a while, very attentive and friendly staff but took one star off as we had a very long wait for food but she did apologise. The food, chicken and chorizo paella and slow cooked morracon lamb was of a very good standard. We would happily go back again.

Sat at our booked table straight away not too busy as 5.30pm Saturday night,we were served by Phil. We asked to be moved as very draughty near the windows and I didn't want to take my coat off. Phil moved us to a warmer spot straight away. Ordered our starter and drinks, food was amazing. Came to our table very quickly didn't have to wait long. Had our main courses but couldn't finish them as outdid ourselves on the starters. Note taken. Absolutely delicious food cannot fault it. A wonderful professional restaurant on our doorstep. Very aptly served by Phil and checked on really well. Thank you Phil and big compliments to the chef. Outstanding dining out.

We had prawn cocktails for starters and Kebabs for main course, both were delicious.

Amazing food and lovely friendly service, especially from our waitress Phil x

Philly was lovely friendly checking in with us we will be back

Fantastic food and even better service by Phil 😁

Beautiful food and fantastic service from Phil. Will definitely be returning. Thanks Ego!

Lovely staff, however service extremely slow, over an hour for starters to arrive. Salmon fish cake overcooked. 3 out of 8 mains burnt Drinks very expensive Will not be returning

Havnt been in a while but came for lunch with the family before working away for the weekend now in a good mood well fed and girls are happy. Thanks to Adam our server very attentive and polite will be back soon

Excellent Mediterranean food, they allowed dogs in their heated outdoor space, and the staff were lovely.

Just had an amazing Birthday meal thanks to the team at Ego. A great warm welcome followed by an outstanding meal which was served to us by Levi, such a lovely lady, who helped to make our evening a special one. We done Ego, choice of chefs and the rest ot the team make a visit definitely worthy of a 5 star review. Great dinning experience!

Been taken out for lunch new years day but was not what I expected of such a well rated place. But very disappointed the food of my family was enjoyed but the staff were over worked not informative . The service was very very slow but will not go again and I live local .

Went here for a family meal was starving by the time food arrived 1 and half hours later half the food was cold the other half looked inedible would never go back really we should have gone somewhere good like Miller and Carter

Really slow service, food arrived and was not very hot. Forgot our drinks and we could see them sat on the side for 20+ minutes. Food was mediocre, not worth the price. Staff very pleasant but we were there for nearly 3 hours before we finally finished. It wasn't busy either. Shame as the premises is nice but just not worth the wait.

Came here for a Boxing Day meal with family, lovely food and fantastic service. Great atmosphere, would definitely recommend.

Loved my trip to Ego - wonderful evening served by the lovely Levi. Food was lovely and just hit the spot perfectly. Absolutely everything done right and earned a return visit

Booked a table today with friends arrived at the restaurant to be stood nearly 10 minutes before being seated . When we finally got shown our tables the manager said I’ll bring the menus over and get you some drinks . We sat there 10 minutes again when said manager looked up and said oh! Clearly he’d forgot about us , fair enough we all forget things . When we challenged him about our wait he snapped at us saying he was busy and we weren’t the only people here and he was on his own . He sent a trainee waitress over at this point drinking coffee out of a Costa coffee cup (not a good look ) ! We then expressed our feelings about being left just sat there to her and the girl then snapped at us again saying that she’d only just arrived at work and it was nothing to do with her . At this point we just got our stuff and left . The place wasn’t really that busy and to be honest if they treat all their customers this way I’m not surprised it was empty . Definitely wouldn’t go back and I will be telling others the same !!!

Great food , great service. 100% recommend. Defo come back

Stunning! In what looks like a well dressed and maintained pub there is this Mediterranean restaurant. It almost feels like a secret club. Amazing and attentive staff, a wide selection of options and pretty reasonable prices too! A must try for Wakefield

Always good food, always very pleasant staff. Only complaint service of food is always slow.

We have been here many times with family and as a couple. We do love it. But I felt compelled to mention the cauliflower steak! As a vegetarian we don’t get much choice and sometimes feel there’s no imagination that goes into the food which is why I ordered the cauliflower steak on the steak menu offer £19.50 for 2 courses I think it is. I’m glad I didn’t pay full price cos it is not value for money and is a downright rip off to be honest. For a slither of cauliflower (cut to the shape of steak) with seasoning sprinkled on top, half of a beef tomato, large mushroom, chips and a small pile of rocket I think is a lot of money to pay when meat eaters get a steak for the same price. It won’t stop me going here, but I certainly won’t order the cauliflower steak again and to be quite frank, I think it should be removed from the menu. It gives the word ‘steak’ a bad name.

Excellent food with great service, will definitely eat there again.

Visited here recently for a special occasion. After waiting to be greeted we had to go find someone. The place had only just opened and there was only two people in the place before we arrived. It took an hour and a half to be served our food (2 out of the 4 of us ordered off the lunch menu). There were other people complaining that the service was slow yet some people who came in after us were seated, fed and left before we even received our food so I'm not sure what was actually going on. The food was mediocre and not hot considering. Appeared as though it had been left waiting for someone to bring it. I emailed the company but after a week they haven't responded so that's why I have left the review. The staff were nice enough just very slow overall service. We had driven 30 minutes to visit this particular pub and were greatly disappointed. Wouldn't recommend. Update: 4 weeks later and still no response from the restaurant regarding our complaint.

Great evening, service good and atmosphere

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Much needed escape from life on a Monday evening after a manic day and weekend 🙌 lovely food as always, great service and the long island ice tea hit the spot ❤️

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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 :-)

A lovely setting, delicious food and excellent friendly service.

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!

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
