Horse & Jockey in Wakefield

Great place to visit, really njoyed

This place we visited last Sunday. We were told every Sunday through the summer, this pub has live music (4pm) and a Spud Van (possible external catering) sat outside while you bask in the sunshine in the beer garden. The food served here was that nice. I actually went for seconds, I tried the chicken tikka, and the chicken curry loaded fries (See Photos) This place has a sports area with a pool table in, a separate room if you prefer a quieter environment and a very big beer garden with a stage for those that prefer that entertainment. It's clean and plenty of spaces to take a pew. Child and Dog friendly there were plenty of families and dog walkers here, so if you're out for a walk and passing by over the weekend and the sun is shining, I'd recommend popping in here for a Pitt stop.

My wife and I called in for a beer whilst out for a walk and it was nice to sit out the back and watch the cricket. Just keep your eyes peeled for the incoming cricket balls 😀

Very nice beer garden take out cups very sturdy staff friendly looks onto cricket ground group was fantastic they had on . the loos are very clean too result

Popped in on my own after picking up the keys for our new house just up the road, intending on stopping for a quick celebration pint. I can’t recall a time I’ve felt as welcomed in a pub the way the staff and regulars welcomed me here. I felt as though I was walking in my local of ten years to a small group of old pals. Two and a half pints, a bottle of 0%, and 3 hours later, I was on my way, and was even offered a lift home by one of the older lady’s that popped by for a social. If you’re looking for a non-intimidating, homely and happy pub to spend your day, this is the place for you! It might not have the swagger of a salt pub, but it’s exactly the kind of place I love to spend my afternoons. Can’t wait to go back with friends, as I hear the music and weekends are even better.

Went in for a pint, bloody good beer, nice friendly quiet pub

Nice pub. Beer is good, very clean.

We visited Wakefield in 2018 and ended up here. It was very comfortable!

Asked for local ale.. they had one option which should have been White rat but was infact Vinegar!

Great pub, with incredible staff and owners.

Went Friday night.lovely seating area outside.There was a turn on a male singer.The bar staff were friendly and beers good.

Poor no food served seating dirty local pub never agin

Great drop in pub for a pint and a pack o crisps after traversing canal towpaths

Traditional pub. A warm welcome on a cold wet evening. Beer a good price. £3 for a J W Lees. Dog made welcome.

Inviting local pub, plenty of choice and reasonable prices. Entertainment and sports channels

Typical village pub no frills but friendly place for a quiet drink

Great small pub with lovely people. Definitely recommend.

Nice Lille pub with a stunning pint of Madri! This venue is especially good in the summer with its large seating area out the back but watch out for cricket balls!

Lovely traditional local pub, helpful bar staff, nothing not to like.

Nice local pub, with live music on Saturday nights. Great atmosphere, good prices and beers, and right next to the cricket ground if you want to spend a pleasant afternoon in the sun

Went with some friends but I myself don't drink and don't like sport. This is a Sky Sport Pub. The lady behind the bar was very friendly.

Great place to sit out on a summers evening. Friendly, warm staff. Fantastic beef sandwiches!!

Nice proper pub nice locals and staff just don't ring the bell to much

Great family old traditional pub

Played here on Sunday with my band Pac Band. This pub has a great outdoor patio area with a stage area for performing. The pub has some great bargains on drinks and food. Great staff and great audience 👏 👍

Friendly pub dog friendly in tap room

Nice traditional pub with beer garden

Nice,inviting very friendly and a good selection of visiting beers. Terrace was full but needed cleaning and tidying up. Prices moderate. Because of the terrace 4 stars not 5

Plenty of seat area on a warm sunny day

Lovely friendly staff, stopped for a quick drink before a christening. Very homely feel.

We had a nice quiet couple of drinks, on the beer garden at the back. Lovely sun trap.

Okay to poor. No bitter on. Reasonable pint of coors. Pricey for the quality

Friendly staff, great beer and service

First time in for years. Nice seating area out back and the beer was well priced. Will definitely go again

Fabulous place nice friendly folk great beer

Good atmosphere and great landlord, always ready to have a word with you and make you feel comfortable

Informal watering hole post-walk

Very freindly staff landlord and landlady amazing love it ace pub👍😊

mobiles and laptops cannot be used in this pub???WHY???

Had a great night seeing Subculture atmosphere was buzzing

No food even though the board said it had. Beer good though

Lovely cosy place great food and good beerl

Awful got scammed for 2 j two os for 3 pound gave 10 pound note got 1pound 20 back

Very good local pub now the only proper pub in Horbury Bridge. Car park to rear

Smashing pub, we'll return again no problem!!

You now aren't allowed to use mobile phones inside the pub! Just one more thing that shows how much of a lunatic Mr Humphrey Smith the owner is! What lunatic idea will the inbasile come up with next?

We called in for a quick lunch. Not the biggest pub. We asked about lunch, despite the dining room been empty we were asked if we had booked and to wait. Needless to say we got a seat. Food was nice, piping hot, though we found menu limited and specials pricey. Waiting staff excellent. ! We will be returning.

Lovely food, but poor surroundings, could do with a refurb

Fabtastic food and food service at low cost. A nice pub.

Visited the Nostalgic Kitchen at the Horse & Jockey. Super food again (2nd visit, won't be the last!), great steak & kidney pie and fish & chips. Great, friendly service as well.

Lovely staff and food to die for .fantastic !x

The price and food was very good but it is a small place and a small car park best to book in advance

The food is literally unbelievable 👌 the chef and his staff make the whole experience phenomenal 🙏

Visited for family Sunday lunch, the best part is the hard working girls where nothing was too much trouble.

Chillin cozy dining area, sick prices and bare attentive staff. The food was peng and the odd phat tune dropped which is always a bonus. All round super groovy experience you should go! You deserve it.

Food is an absolute delight, booking is recommended

Excellent food and lovely friendly staff. Well worth a visit you won't be disappointed.

Food very good. Friendly staff.

Looking forward to going back. Excellent.

Great food great staff friendly atmosphere.

Absolutely beautiful food and friendly staff will be going again

Lovely food.. just a little too busy at times.

Fabulous food at great prices at the Nostalgic kitchen in the Horse and Jockey. Thank you Michael and your team.

Lovely food ❤️❤️Great service from amber (she was very friendly )had a great time ❤️

Always a warm welcome at the Horse and Jockey. Super meal at Nostalgic Kitchen.

Lovely little restaurant here. Food is excellent and very reasonably priced. Staff are very friendly and will advise you on the dishes on offer. Good selectlon of beers and wine. A little gem!

Nostalgic quality food at a reasonable price

Lovley food all home cooked .nothing too much trouble.😆😆

Great food lovely time staff so friendly and helpful 👍

Went for Xmas dinner best Xmas dinner ever had worth every penny

Good food at a reasonable price. The belly pork was lovely. Handpulled Wainwright ale was well kept.

Really Impressed the food is faultless. Service is spot on. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. Take pics of the menu boards in the bar area as there is only a starter menu at the table. Drinks you get from the bar area not the restaurant. Excellent value for money.

Been to the horse and jockey numerous times since Micheal started his restaurant there and we have never been disappointed. The food has always been first class. Good traditional food, fresh and micheal is always open to changing things if needed. There is always a warm welcome from all the staff who are always polite and look so smart in there black shirts and yellow ties. Cant believe they have just celebrated their first year, doesn't time fly. The surroundings are also very pleasant retaining some of the old traditional features, the bar staff are also very welcoming and always happy to help especially Sandra. There is a good sized games room and small beer garden over looking the local cricket field. However I would say that any one in a wheelchair that cant walk short distances would find it difficult to get around as it is a small pub, especially for getting to the toilet as you have to negotiate through some tight spaces. Also a step down to get into the restaurant and a step into the ladies toilet no ramps. But all in all a nice place to eat and enjoy a good drink.

Finally got the chance to try this place as it’s always been fully booked. Definitely will be goin back, excellent gastro pub food, great menu selection aswell as different dishes you wouldn’t normally come across in places like this including really good prices . The staff are all very nice and the place creates a nice warm atmosphere. Would recommend you try if you already haven’t , well done to all the team.👍🏼

Great service and even better food.

Excellent food, great value, fab staff...thank touched Mark

Lovely food and service. You will not be disappointed

Top quality food. Staff excellent. I highly recommend.

Beautiful food as always. Michael always delivers, nothing is too much trouble - even making garlic mayo for my daughter to dunk in!!

Lovely staff and lovely meals. Recommended.

Excellent food and friendly staff

The lady behind the bar was exceptionally rude, clearly didn't want to be working on a Sunday lunch, the wine was poor and don't take card at all. Overall a very old fashioned pub, with old fashioned service attitudes and old fashioned payment systems. ..

Staff were very attentive, they couldn’t do enough for you, the chef came and had a natter to us and to make sure everything was okay. Food is reasonably priced and decent portions too, we had the mixed chicken tikka on a bed of salad starter with mint yogurt sauce and it was beautiful, for the main I had the shin of beef with melted blue Stilton (also came with veg, Yorkshire pud and gravy) and it was stunning. My girlfriend had the slow roasted belly pork which also came with all the trimmings and it was lovely. Would definitely recommend this place but you have to book in advance as the restaurant is quite small. (Photos below)

Excellent food .. traditional and hearty and great waitress (Sue) But very busy so book a table .. great chef too

Small area, big meals, very friendly staff, reasonable price on both food and drink. We enjoyed it

Fantastic food and very nice staff!

We really enjoyed our meal here! Delicious food, friendly, helpful staff, outdoor seating and play area. Will definately go back!!

Ok pub with sports on TV. A bit dark inside. Nice outside areas for drinking on a fine day.

Brilliant evening, the Kings in horbury is better, but if you don't want taxIs it's the best place to be, Paul and Pauline run a great pub. No question.

Very nice food. Nostalgic kitchen lived up to its name. Great to have home cookef food on the menu x

Most of your staff dance around the bar like there on drugs

Fully recommend food is gorgeous & staff are very polite 😊

Popped in unexpectedly on way back from national mining museum visit. A little unexpected gem. Great food and service, although my step-daughter was craving a burger which was not on the menu, but the tikka bites she had was nice let alone toffee crunch dessert that was delicious

Lovely home cooked food nothing flash just good cooked food back again on Sunday

Delicious home cooked food at reasonable price. Friendly staff. Very enjoyable Sunday lunch

Great place to have a meal or drop in for a few drinks
