Jacobean Pub in Wakefield

We were staying at Rogerthorpe Manor so had lunch and evening meal here. Lunchtime we had lasagna and prawn and crayfish salad and it was really good and large helping. Tried the pork scratchings served at the bar too and they were amazing. Sat outside in the sunshine, absolutely perfect.Evening meal we had the salmon and peppers and the pork belly, all cooked to perfection we cleaned the plates and too full for dessert. Lovely friendly staff made our day!

Popped in today at lunch time and tried out the 2 course lunch menu. 1 x White Onion & Cheese Soup 1 x Fish Strips 1 x Gammon 1 x Jam Roly Poly All food came out hot and in a timely manor, there were quite a few customers in the Jacobean obviously enjoying the 2 courses for under £15 pp. Staff were attentive and working the room well. Personally think Rogerthorpe are missing a trick of upselling drinks to customers by not working the room and asking if customers are alright for drinks 😂 Have eaten here before and forgot to review but would definitely recommend eating here as never left hungry. On a personal note, I would consider putting paper under the gammon and egg as the plate was a little grease but that’s just my personal opinion. Maybe not put quite as much jam on top of the roly poly as over half of it wasn’t eaten.

Been today for a family meal, 6 adults and 2 children. This is the first time we've been here for food but my goodness it won't be the last! I had the gorgeous melt on your mouth belly pork, 2 others had the brisket and the rest had pizza and scampi, all of which were excellent and piping hot. Don't hesitate to eat here. See you again soon.

Very dissatisfied with our meals tonight- Fish pie… swimming in butter it was pooling when moving mash to side. As for fish it was non existent. Shame as I’ve always enjoyed my food there ☹️

Just visited the Jacobean pub at Rogerthorpe Manor with my Mother and had the most amazing food. Mac and chees side dish and sticky toffee pudding. Both amazing, with friendly staff. Compliments to the Chef

We have not eaten here for a few years, no particular reason why. We called in a few weeks ago for a drink and the welcome was lovely and noticed the Burger Night for 2 so booked it. Once again there was a lovely welcome and the waiter and bar lady were great. The burgers came and didn't disappoint. £30 for 2 burgers (big, juicy and tasty) sides of Dirty Fries (amazing!) onion rings (crispy) and burger sauce (Very nice). Great value for money. Will be back to try another themed evening.

First visit since December, very quiet, maybe a dozen guests in the two hours we were there. Odd choice of music. Staff were pleasant. Pint of coke was just short of £4 a pint. We went for the 2 course lunch menu which only had a couple of choices per course, but we thought for the price it would be ok. Disappointed with the gammon, couple more minutes would have helped also not char grilled, very basic, chips not too bad but the peas were rock hard, so were left. Lasagne again disappointing, very basic, lacked flavour. Jam roly poly had a odd taste, but the custard was lovely and took away the odd taste. The cheesecake, again disappointing it tasted as though it had been stored a while.

Lovely food, several gluten free options. They did actually bring my husband the wrong thing (he ordered the gammon Sunday roast but they gave him the turkey Sunday roast) but he enjoyed it a lot so we didn’t mention it. He spoke about how good the bacon that came with the turkey was for the whole next day :) The gluten free version was minus the stuffing and Yorkshire pudding (good ones can be kept in the freezer but no one ever seems to do this) but happy to see they had GF pigs in blankets available to substitute.

Great meal, superb ingredients and cooking. Nice atmosphere. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.

On the plus side, lovely, welcome from the staff. Well looked after. Comfortable chairs. I had the Xmas lunch; I’ve had better school dinners as a child. 3 very thin slices of a reformed piece of Turkey Roll. Roast potatoes that looked like they hadn’t been roasted; absolutely no crispiness whatsoever. I reckon the sprouts had been cooked for 30 minutes. The Yorkshire pudding was ok. The stuffing was tasteless and I didn’t get the advertised sausage meat. It’s a definite drive by venue.

Excellent food, very good service and very good ambience. The fish and chips were beautiful, the wife had the Turkey pie which she really enjoyed. We have also had the sandwiches on an afternoon, definitely recommended!!

I went with my son and husband for lunch. I had the light bite scampi with chips, garden peas. Very nice. My husband had the fish sandwich with chips, this was also good. My son chose the vegan burger. Now bearing in mind this was over £13 it was very poor. Served on a board. the burger looked lost. Called a moving mountains burger - it wouldnt move anything.!! No fried onions or gherkins on the burger. These were on the menu. I went to the counter to complain. Unfortunatly my son had eaten the burger when the waitress came out to see us. No compensation offere either a reduction in price or another. Disappointed. Felt like we were not believed. My son should not have eaten it, I appreciate this. He was getting treated for lunch so didn't want to moan.

Cider selection was poor. Asked for my drink in a tall glass and filled with mixer and it came in a standard sized glass. Place lacks atmosphere

The staff were efficient and friendly. The chicken we had was tasty and very tender, absolutely perfect. The location is good and the decor in the pub lovely

Been a long time since we’ve been and was really looking forward to it. Walked in to a sign that said wait to be seated. We were seated and then told to go to bar to order any drinks or food. It was an early sitting but the table was not clean and there was little to no atmosphere. I ordered the Sunday lunch, husband ordered steak pie. Food came, all really well presented and looked lovely. Husbands was ok, but mine, everything was either tepid or cold. The beef was thin uniformed slices that were obviously precooked sliced to be reheated. The side portion of veg were the same. The addition mini ‘pan’ of gravy the same. Table waiting staff were thin on ground. Felt for them. Bar staff stood around chatting. It used to be a lovely warm welcoming place. May be we dropped in on a bad day, but Sunday lunch? I did feel for the serving staff l, low in numbers but they were doing their best. it was every behind that that let them down. Sad it wasn’t like it used to be.

A lovely Restaurant with a varied menu. Fabulous portions and delicious too! No room for pudding after starters and mains. Friendly staff.

booked for Sunday lunch 6 weeks ago it was excellent so booked again for 3 adults Sunday 12th the meal was very poor, I ordered 2 beef and 1 turkey when it arrived we had very little meat on the plates the beef was cut in 3 small triangles about 70mm a side it was dry and tasteless the turkey slice was out of a tin, they gave 3 adults 1 small basin of vegetables when we combined the waiter made no apology for the poor meal give this place a miss something has gone completely wrong, one word sums up rubbish.

Haven't been to the Jackobean for some time, we used to go very regularly. Fancied a roast dinner, so called in Sunday, the meet and greet was not good no smile or welcome. Waited a while for the dinner, the look was not appealing,over cooked. The beef dry and tasteless, potatoes I don't think had any salt, roasted potatoes well over done,veg just boiled in water.ALL Luke warm. We ate it because of hunger. 4 Waitress just hung around the bar area. The waiter on clearing the plates asked, did you enjoy your meal, sadly had to say No. he would inform the kitchen. Well not be doing a 40 min ride for that offering again. Very disappointed.

We have just had probably one of the best Sunday dinners we have ever had. Initially we intended on driving to nearby pontefract for food and changed our minds and ate at the hotel, we were so glad we did! I would definitely recommend a visit here!

Went here for my Nanny’s 80th birthday meal with the full family. We were for a Sunday lunch and it was delicious! Service was very good and the food very tasty, most had the Sunday lunch option and a couple had the normal food - all of it was very nice and perfectly cooked! We haven’t been here for years and it made such a change and it had really come on in terms of food. The wine list could be a lot nicer but all in all I would recommend. Will certainly be back

great service beautiful surroundings and excellent menu very reasonably priced a hidden gem and will be returning

Food is cooked to your preference and served hot, delicious, large and very filling. There is not an extensive dessert menu, but the desserts they do are lovely but the ice cream comes in a mini pan on the side of the plate which seems a bit faffy. The restaurant is comfortable and warm and the staff are friendly and welcoming.

My inlaws took us to this lovely restaurant. The staff were lovely and very accommodating. The food was hot and very tasty, even hot plates 😁 I had fish pie which was just beautiful. The rest had pork belly, scampi and steak pie. All very very good. The broccoli and Stilton soup and chicken skewers starters were yummy too. The portions were massive as well so a fair bit left over unfortunately. I can't recommend this place enough.

Always get a pretty decent meal here especially as they serve food all day long. The menu changes at 4pm but usually visit before then. The staff are always friendly and good at their job. I had fish strips with chips and peas,too many chips for my liking but it was tasty. My husband had the slow roast belly pork with mash and stuffing. He couldn’t fault. Having said that he didn’t really look at the bill till we got home and he was astonished as the price of a pint of Amstel beer was £5.60 which as far as I am concerned is a total ripoff. If they want people to go for a repeat meal I would think they will have to put the price down. Don’t think we will be going again for a long time.

Great food, lovely service and great parking! Will meet here again, it’s a great mid-way point. Thank you.

Never visited before but we were impressed and will return. Nice atmosphere, staff were lovely and food was great. Couldn't fault it.

Had a meal with my wife here, staff were great and worked very hard, food was good and cooked and seasoned very well.

What a lovely setting for a quiet family dinner. The service is friendly and an unimposing, yet always available should you need it. The food is excellent, generously portioned and very reasonably priced. We had an excellent time and felt very welcomed. Anyone who doesn't...

Beautiful Sunday lunch. Took a little while to be served from ordering but it was worth the wait. Our son had the slow roasted belly pork but wanted to make some changes to the sides and was all accommodated. We will be back

The bar was very quiet with it being mid week, the atmosphere was non existent, the barman had no interest in a conversation. we order drinks and went to sit outside on terrace which was very pleasant

We attended the Thursday Club for my wife’s birthday. Lovely food and customer service; they had a birthday card on the table which was lovely.. We stayed at the hotel and really enjoyed the stay..

First off I just want to say that the food at this pub was outstanding, the 4 of us had the Sunday lunch and we all thought it was amazing so hats off to the chefs. If it was not for the good food, this...

You have to go inside to the bar to order food and drinks, you would expect waiter service but this wasn’t the case , there was no kids drinks on draft so basically it was £6 for 2 mini bottles of coke per child , I ordered the mixed grill which came with 10 chips and not a lot of meat , for 2 kids and my wife I spent £140 approx and was highly disappointed

We initially booked for Mother’s Day 2020 but due to lockdown could not visit. We were given a gift voucher to the value of £106.We visited today and ordered food and soft drinks. The food came out muddled with another table’s order. This was not too much of a problem but it did mean slightly staggered eating. After delivering the food we had no check back from any staff to check if all ok or to offer any sauces. We had to walk to the bar to request horseradish and ketchup for the kids meal. The food itself was presented beautifully and was very tasty. No complaints for the food - compliments to the chef.We ordered 3 desserts and 1 coffee. The desserts took a long time to come - around 45 minutes. When they arrived there was no coffee and again no one came to check back on the food so we did not have the opportunity to highlight the missing item. The staff were very friendly but things appeared to be disorganised and long waits for food with no prior warning. We paid using the gift voucher for £106. The bill was £86. We were a little disappointed that there was no mention of the difference in value or even an offer of anything - could have offered a bottle of wine to takeaway or at least mentioned it. The voucher was taken without a comment!! The final, probably small criticism, is the fire door behind the bar that was left to loudly slam every time someone walked through. This was a every 10 minute occurrence for a good hour! Spoilt it a bit as once we noticed it, it became a bugbear.

So we decided to book for lunch today as it was your first day back open. I had the steak pie and my wife had the pan fried chicken. Absolutely amazing , the steak pie was different than it was before but it was fantastic, so much flavour. The chicken my wife had was beautiful.Also the staff were very aware of social distancing measures and were all wearing masks etc which is nice to see. All in all we had a brilliant experience and will definitely be back.Well done

Eaten here many times, gorgeous food, lovely staff and beautiful surroundings. What more could you ask for?

I recently attended with 16 family members to celebrate my husband's 40th,we all mainly had carvery with a few selecting something from the main menu. All of our meals were perfectly cooked ,tasty and with Great portion size.To say we all pilled in as a last minute get together...the staff couldn't have been more accommodating...friendly ,helpful and cheery,all the meals were also served quickly!Amazing staff and great food and a special mention to a staff member 'Karen' who couldnt do enough for us,assisting with suprising the hubby with his birthday cake suprise! thanks again...we will definately be returning!

Just love it here! I always opt for the steak pie as it is so delicious. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for one. Great service and lovely atmosphere.

Great friendly pub, great location and customer service is excellent, especially the barmaid Karen, nothings abother

Called in again for lunch , brilliant as usual. The 2 for £15 pizza went down a treat. Keep it up guys

Great Buffet Breakfast; we stayed at the hotel but the Breakfast in the morning was just what we needed. Loved that we helped ourselves !!!

Had dinner in this restaurant and it was amazing. Good selection of meals including vegetarian and vegan choices. Great staff. Would highly recommend.

Good beer. Good food. Good service. A busy bar area the staff were very good too a particular thanks to Kat and Glen

Thanks to Jonathan and the team at the pub for a great nights meal and service - plus cuddos to the chef for the cheese board!

Have dined at the Jacobean several times in the past.but on this occasion I was disappointed to find how the standards had deteriorated..There were a party of seven of us.Firstly everyone remarked about the expensive price of the drinks.We then had to go to the bar to order our meals.A waitress then appeared and put a pile of serviettes and cutlery on the table for us to pass around..We were seated near the door and were subjected to an icy cold blast every time the door opened.My wife and I ordered the lamb which consisted of a rolled up grizzly strip containing very little edible meat and accompanied by some mashed potato and a small piece of broccoli.We then ordered a sweet to share which was described on the menu as ice cream topped with cream and with fresh strawberries and fudge pieces but all it contained was the ice cream and cream.After such an inadequate meal and miserable experience I was glad to vacate the premises and return home.

Six of us had lunch-3 of which were sandwiches on sub rolls- cheap nasty dried up bread. Seemed like it had been taken out of the freezer and defrosted in a microwave for too long. i told the waiter and he said they had probably been toasted too long! they weren't toasted! To be fair the fish finger filling was lovely and the waiter did offer us a free coffee as recompense. A friend had a massive chunk of the centre of cabbage in his coleslaw too. For a lovely place like this it was very disappointing

Had the steak pie with garden peas,should be described as mash and pastry A bed of mashed potatoes with a shallow pie of four pieces of meat three slices of carrot and one slice of leak, garden peas absent.Last visit i had the carvery which was equally disappointing but was prepared to give them a second chance,obviously a mistake i wont be making again.

They don’t take reservations so place be patient when arriving as they are very busy. We arrived this Sunday lunch time with 6 adults, we had to wait around 5 minutes as people were coming in and out pretty quickly.

The menu offered something for everyone.

Carvery as good as ever.. great meat choices and everything else you need.. we always come at 12pm as it gets busy afterwards...

Came to Rogerthrope for a carvery, we have been before and live locally. We already searched and the carvery was served till 8, so we arrived just after 6:30pm to walk through the door to over hear someone being served a drink and asking about the carvery to hear that it wasn’t running anymore due to there being no meat left? So the service still had just under 2 hours to go with no meat? The bar tender who served the customer didn’t even seem apologetic and the customer even questioned her about the time too as she had rung previously to check on times of service. It’s disgraceful and there was no information given before hand , and no valid reasoning for the shocking service. Won’t be going again!

eaten here many times in the past 5 years, rogerthorpe has always been good guality food but over the last year or so its just got worse and worse from starters to mains. the pie was shocking, the lamb my wife couldnt even chew. service was just above averge. management plese take note invest in better staff and learn them how to smile.

We stopped here after a long journey and weren't disappointed. There were 7 of us and all the meals were great including 2 very fussy kids. The pie deserves a mention, delicious.

Just been in with the intention of eating (bear in mind they weren’t busy) - we were offered a tiny table where my other half had to move as the legs were in an uncomfortable place. I politely asked if we could have a bigger table to be abruptly told no. Wouldn’t have minded if they were busy. There was loads of tables!! The staff member wasn’t accommodating so we left for a much better experience down the road at the Bluebell in Wentbridge. Won’t be returning anytime soon.

Not good whilst waiting for my partner at a function decided to have a meal. Drinks £5 a pint and a pint of coke £3.40. Steak pie meat so hard you couldnt cut it. Replaced with cheaper no refund of difference and then took 20 min to get served at the bar due to lack of staff. Overall an overpriced venue for bog standard fare

Outstanding first visit to Rogerthorpe and the Jacobean Pub. Fantastic service, friendly staff and wonderful food - oh and great value for money. At this very busy time of year you should all be very proud of the chefs and staff; they are a credit to the place. Thank you, we will be back! Happy Christmas.

We stop off for a meal 3 to 6 times a month but will not have the hot beef sandwich again one piece of machine sliced beef per sandwich very poor we are used to having a decent meal we did say to a staff member not up to usual standard but after she went into the kitchen to enquire if this was the normal she returned to say it is carvery beef but sliced a machine not happy will noticed again.

We had the Chowder and Mushrooms to start; 3 main course with the Traditional Fish and Chips (great) Pie (as good as ever) Yorkshire Salad (all sorts of lovely bits in there !!) Enjoyable meal and busy for a Tuesday night !

Just a quick review to say a massive thank you to Karen in particular who made our lunch time visit by being incredibly helpful and going above and beyond. A real credit to the team. The food as always was brilliant, just a shame we didn’t have room for pudding! Until next time. Thanks so much again.

We popped in to try the new menu we had seen advertised on Facebook. I had the Buffalo Chicken burger and my wife had the Yorkshire Salad. Both were brilliant

New Menu with lovely options, food looks great and really enjoyed our Burger and traditional Fish & Chips..

Whilst staying at the Rogerthorpe Hotel we had some light bites Nachos- i would say they were more like a volcano of nachos that were gorgeous. The holoumi fries were the best i had eaten. A friend ordered the trio of crabcakes, she said were delicious. Super atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

We visited the Jacobean for three of us at the end of October, no wonder it was empty immediately greeted by the barman (awrate) he said, I had the scampi which was acceptable but my wife had fish cake crab starter which laughably small and tasted like sponge very strange, this used to be a popular pub and the food was good so what’s happened ? Also I have to say my daughter-in-law visited this week meeting a business colleague (lady) for lunch and the barman said to her oh not another divorced woman, this is disgraceful and I hope someone reply’s to this it’s not on to be so familiar with customers or you’ll lose them.

The food, staff and location are great. Nice menu and drinks selection is varied!

Oh dear!! What’s happened here, just been for lunch definitely not like it used to be. Been coming here for years and always had a good meal, but not today. The starter crab cakes was inedible, and the main course of lamb was very small portions and the one piece of broccoli was just mush to over cooked. The staff were very friendly as usual, also it was vertically empty it used to be busing. We will think twice before going again.

Looks nice from the outside but a bit tatty inside with dirty sticky plastic menus & uncomfortable seats .We went late on Sunday evening around 7.30pm for a Carvery ( The Carvery stops serving at 8pm ) ~ The chef on the Carvery ( Think his name was Will ) was very nice & friendly.

This Jacobean pub is attached to Rogerthorpe Manor. My husband myself and my mother went there and on a weekday you can have two courses for £11.95. We all had mainsand puddings which were ordered at the bar. The staff were all very friendly,there was sufficient time in between courses to chat. All in all a very pleasant lunch was had and the food was lovely.

Good all-round entertainment reasonable price, good food and choices, good choice of Beers, large car park and grounds

This was convenient for breakfast, which was very good. The serving staff was delightful. It was pleasant.

I ate here when staying in the adjoining hotel for work. The service was quick, efficient and attentive. The food was great, with generous servings. Unfortunately, I cannot attest to the puddings as the soup and then the steak pie were sufficiently filling!

We hebben hier gedineerd en ontbeten.

We have visited the Jacobean many times for a Sunday afternoon carvery and always found the food to be plentiful and of good quality,

Stayed at the hotel next door, dinner was ok not great choices.....and not really great but adequate, staff were great, breakfast was really nice apart from the wait

We have been to the Jacobean pub on numerous occasions and always enjoyed it. What’s happened, there were very few people in yet the service was terrible, very slow & the staff looked very miserable as if they didn’t want to be there. The food was very nice, reasonably priced too, just the long wait for the food was unacceptable.

We had lunch and breakfast here, before and after a sleepover pamper party. All the food was delicious, lots of choice and a specials menus. The service at the bar was a little slow and not a big choice of drinks.

Stuck in traffic and hungry on the way home from a weekend away we decided to Google anything close and this came up, took a little detour and I'm so glad we did! We tried the award winning pie and was not disappointed, comes with veg and mash and we ordered some roast potatoes which were cooked perfect and extra gravy. Best pie I've had and well worth a visit.

Lovely food always here sunday lunch is amazing

Once again not enough staff at bar to order food or drinks. Long wait. This isn't the fist time but it will be the last. Food ok.. Price ok ish but ordering diabolical mostly only one serving behind bar at busy time

We were looking for a simple evening meal and this pub meant that need. The food was excellent and great value for money. If you are in the area it is worth popping in.

went here last night with a group of work colleagues. Excellent meal for everyone. Sweet potato and black bean chillli, excellent . Asked for side of extra veg - on menu in butter but requested no butter. Veg was plentiful and lovely mix. All meals hot and lovely, chicken curry, fish and chips, salmon and pie. Pie pastry just a little soggy.

first of all we have to thank the staff who were great, Jonathon Hudson and Ana.thank you, Now for the JACOBEAN PIE, the Famous pie. we have had it before and it's not the best by a long way, this one however was rubbish, it was a good size wedge but was red inside the lot of it, also had carrots and leeks in it, the steak was tender but you could not taste it and the suet pastry once microwaved is like no nails glue, i got a large lump of fat to boot as well, it looked like a Spanish stew with a lid v/poor. Mr. Hudson came up trumps with a free sweet and said the pie was tomato based, steak pie and steak gravy it's not hard, we will try again not sure what year

We recently celebrated my birthday at the Jacobean and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and nicely presented. The restaurant was nicely decorated and reminded me of an old country lodge. Very cozy. The staff were nice too. Looking forward to looking at all the beautiful flowers outside too.

Amazing food great selection of beer/wine fantastic service and atmosphere and what a beautiful place it is sitting outside in the warm weather with an amazing view and a ice cold beer !!!

Sat outside on a sunny day with Great Pizza and a lovely pint of Moretti after visiting Badsworth Scarcrow festival. Great weather for outside food and drink !!

We visited this place and it was amazing, the food was lovely! Compliments to the chef. Love where this place is located the view outside is beautiful. Sitting out here with the sunset is lovely. Will we be back? Absolutely!

The wife has been nagging me to try this place for ages , she had been to a wedding a few weeks ago and said the place was stunning and the wedding breakfast great, but she never got to try the Jacobean.

Called for a meal on Sunday and wanted something different than the carvery. I have never had such a disappointing experience both my partner and I had meals that were possibly the worst things we have have in a long time. The ravioli was over cooked, starchy and tasted quite discussing the pizza only tasted of origano. I really wish we had stayed at home, so very disappointing, left our drinks and walked out it was that bad. What a total waste of money and time.

Our first time back here in around 2 years. We loved it back then. Oh dear how things change. On our arrival we waited to be seated, when someone finally came he pointed to a table and said we could sit there, then he disappeared. He didnt even take us to the table he had pointed out.

Visited this pub today been quiet a few times in the past and had beautiful meals . Today's meal was a big disappointed. Had the steak pie pastry was really dark looked like it was burnt .. carrots and parsnips well overcooked and mushy,looked like they had been cooked and warmed up a few times . Nobody came to ask if our meal was ok so as we left i complained to the barmaid one of them said the pastry was that colour as they pour gravy onto the pie before its cooked ... never known that before. I also mentioned to them about the veg saying I understand they probably use frozen veg and was told no they are fresh.. never seen fresh in my opinion Will certainly not rush to go back. As someone mentioned previously that the prices have increased certainly not worth the price .

Our experience wasn’t all bad, the staff (or in particular one member of staff was very helpful and friendly), the things that let the venue down for us were, being charged for coke but being served cheap cola, the carvery served up cheap bought Yorkshire pudding, terrible smash potato and mushy peas on a Sunday lunch (this should never happen. Put mushy peas with pies or fish and chips but never on a Sunday roast (not never), other than that it was okay

As this is my local this is the only pub in walking distance

Have dined here before and have always been happy, however our last visit was a big let down.
