Knights of Pontefract in Wakefield

For anybody following a Gluten Free diet then I wouldn’t bother trying here. It’s suppose to be “Gluten Free Tuesdays” so you turn up at 18:10 to be told they turn the fryer off at 6pm!! What a joke for a restaurant/takeaway advertising Gluten Free Tuesdays.

Only had a take away fish but it was absolutely delish 😋

Excellent service. Me and my son went three times and on each occasion we were given the highest standard of service. The staff are really kind and met all our needs. The food is excellent and cooked to perfection. Would definitely recommend and will be going back again. Thank you. 10 out of 10.

Wanted to order gluten free as I am coeliac. I was aware they only did it on a Tuesday however it doesn't say anywhere that it is only until 6 o'clock. I think it's wrong that we people who can't have gluten should be discriminated against as to not be able to have fish and chips any day they please and then on top of that not be able to have it as late as people who are not coeliac. I hope this changes to every day or even just to as late as when you shut. As of now you have lost a local customer.

Really enjoy the heathly choice we always get the same good portion for the price we pay I go at least once a month either by myself or with family and friends

Great Fish and chips however sadly closed on Friday 29/09/2023🙄

The best fish shop in the town. Friendly staff, beautiful traditional service. Happy to found this. Thank you ladies, my mother in law so glad and enjoyed every bites and minutes in our visit.

Best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time. All served hot and freshly cooked, lovely crispy batter on the fish and chips great and not greasy. Will definitely be going back.

Worst fish & chips I've had. Small fish that absolutely stank vile. I don't know what the fish was but it tasted cheap and nasty. The chips weren't much better, they had a dodgy smell. Waste of £20 for 2 lots of fish & chips. Ended up up in the bin.

£9.60 for supposedly large fish and chips, with curry sauce. The fish was the size of a stickleback, tasteless, cheap cod alternative and the curry sauce was repulsive.

Wonderful place for fish and chips And service is fast and polite Would recommend and come again

Fish was only thing that was okay chips white and undercooked knights of Pontefract on the spiral down hopefully abit staff training and you will be back to the 5* star restaurant you first started out as

Brilliant fish and chips and great sized portions!!! The shop is also a supporter of the Help For Heroes charity to provide help and support to injured veterans and their families.

Fish cake had quite a few bones in, usually pretty good from here so hopefully just a one off

Fry in beef dripping, unsuitable for pescatarians

The worst chips I have ever tasted....was as if there was too much starch

Extremely disappointed with the food from Knights recently. They have gone from the best fish and chips in Pontefract to the worst!

Cold chips and been stood for hours.. very poor..

Very nice fish and chips, probably the best in Pontefract. The only downside is the portions are very small compared to all other fish and chip shops.

Always preorder then by the time we get there it's ready, really nice fish N chips, always use knights now don't go anywhere else

Beautiful food, and the staff are so friendly, the customers I saw seemed to be really fond of this place 5/5

Outstanding food and service. The black haddock is to die for. Try it you won't be disappointed. Lovely clean and will definitely go again.

I have been here twice now & each visit the food has been outstanding & can’t fault anything. Excellent valve for money & the staff are so very helpful, nothing was to much trouble.

Really good fish and chips. Very reasonable price. Nice staff. Very clean. Recommended. Will go again

Great service friendly staff,food cooked to order and was great will definitely go again and definitely recommend

Fantastic fish chips all staff are absolutely amazing beautiful people fantastic service and customer service food is exceptional and extremely clean place you wont be disappointed the food is harrods luxury

Nice curry sauce the chips and the fish excellent

Handy for a quick meal. Good selection of food at reasonable prices.

Every time we revisit my home town, our priorities are knights and Bluebell(Went ridge) Knights has to be the best fish n chips in Yorkshire, including Wetherby Whaler and Murgatroyds, because of the super friendly staff and value for money. Always eat in with perfect Yorkshire tea, bread n butter and of course a huge bowl of mushy peas, all for a Tenner. We recommend Knights to any visitors to Pontefract. Please note last orders in restaurant at 5.30pm, take out closes at 7.30pm.

Yorkshire fish cake it's a must try...👍

Visiting the town and ate in the cafe....food was nice however, we ordered the pie with a dollop which was on the menu. When charged more at the till I was told we were given more chips so charged more? So basically got more than we ordered. What got me was not once was there an apology for getting order wrong! Very poor customer service...

Really nice fish and chips and not over priced at all. Staff friendly and helpful.

Quick friendly service and lovely fish

Came here today just me and my little girl. Lovely food even better was the service. Such lovely polite ladies serving us. Highly recommend

It's so nice, beef fat or not I don't care it tastes delicious 😋

I haven't ordered from here yet but I just wanted to say could you please get scallops on the deliveroo please as the menu is fully on just eat reason I'm using deliveroo is because I get 10 pound added for my first order

Well it was certainly worth the trip from Germany to my home town of Pontefract and to experience (yet again) the amazing warm hospitality and top service of the staff. The fish is cooked to perfection with batter that was even better than my Grandma used to make. Although we were alone in the restaurant we were continually attended to by extremely friendly staff. I can recommend Knights of Pontefract and we will certainly be back. The BEST.

Fabulous fish and chips, lovely staff, great service. A 5 star business! Thank You for making a visit to Pontefract so enjoyable.

Best Fish'n'Chip restaurant in Pontefract!

Went for gluten free fish and chips on Tuesday ( sadly it's the only day they do them). I had to wait a bit longer because they had to warm the fryer up, but it was worth it. Thin and crispy batter and excellent chips. Must remember to call ahead next time so the fat is hot.

Eat in. Cracking fish & chips ! Slightly disappointing to be told they didn’t have any haddock but the cod was amazing, chips were good, and the curry sauce was the best I’ve tasted in a chippy ! Not at all greasy. The whole restaurant looked spotlessly clean and the young man who served us was a credit to the establishment.

For the second week in a row they got my order wrong I phoned and there response I don't no what you want me to do. Just short of £10 for my order Repeat business is important if they carry on like this were all off to gillygate chippy

Ordered sausage and chips the chips were raw and gravy tasted weird

Great tasting fish & chips not forgetting the mushy peas.

I love that fish and chip restaurant and the people are fantastic in there and very friendly and there’s no fish and chips for miles that can even touch the taste of the food that they do I haven’t been in since before COVID but will be going in for my favourite tasting this week soon.

Small cafe in the rear of shop, no booking just turn up and see if a table is free.

Had sausage and chips,very nice,take card payment which is a bonus

Sadly this place has gone down hill since I gave it a 5 star review approx 3 years ago. We have not been for a long time but called in the last two Fridays at tea time & we were very disappointed. After the first Friday we gave it the benefit of the doubt & called in again. Both times the fish it’s self was lovely but the batter on one side was saturated & oozing with grease. The chips were undercooked & soggy & greasy. They were “just warm” & the peas were not even “warm”. We discarded the batter & chips & just ate the fish & peas.

One of the best fish and chips I've had for a while.Crisp batter not greasy:)))

I treat myself there regularly. It is the best in Pontefract In my opinion. Crisp batter on fish which is cooked while you wait. So hot and tasty with no soggy chips. Highly recommended.

I lovely fish and chips there are the best

Quality fish and chips. A tad expensive but getting Defense Discount helps.

We placed an order through Just-Eat but there were mistakes, a quick phone call and everything was sorted and piping-hot replacements were at my front door within minutes. Can't fault their customer service and friendliness. Food was fantastic too.

Friendly staff, excellent food Highly recommended place to eat.

Chips were undercooked and rock hard. Fish had some strange slime under the batter. Never experienced anything like it

Pooped in for a quick tea.. lovely food very fresh, white and flaky fish, crispy chips. All at a really good price. Highly recommend this place.

had several takeaways from Knights since they reopened their fish and chips are the best I have e er had I love them with vinegar staff great very efficent friendly keeping to covid guidelines they are the Knights of fish and chips many thanks

Fish was very over cooked, disappointing as we normally have such nice meals

Lovely food, clean premises and nice staff. Prices are around average id say

Absolutely amazing place regular Customer here the chicken nuggets and chips are amazing they always know my order the staff are amazing and friendly I would defo tell my friends and family this is the best fish and chip shop ever there staff always have smiles on there faces I work for the nhs and they are so helpful and polite they always know it’s me when I order my chicken nuggets and chips there fish is really nice aswell

Fish and chips are excellent the service is always great

Excellent fish & chips + ISt class staff.

Fresh, clean restaurant, quick, pleasant service and good quality.

Eat in or takeaway whichever the food is always great

Since it changed hand last summer it has gone down hill. Staff no where near as good as staff employed by previous owner. Shame as this was our favourite.

In our opinion the best tasting quality fish and chips in the UK. Lovely family run business that shows what care, passion for excellence can do. Thank you Knights!

Only had the chips, they were nicely cooked.

Beautiful fish and chips and very friendly staff.

Nice service & fish & chip's lovely.

Went to knights for my lunch last week chips were great fish was cooked just right. Would call in again next time I was in pontefract.

Just witnessed male member of staff constantly picking his nose behind counter disgusting never eat there again totally gone down hill for prices they charge

Excellent service and food, gluten free available on Wednesdays too. Highly recommended.

2nd best to whitby fish shop doncaster

excellent fish and chip meal. well cooked to order and friendly service

Absolute extortionate an not great even for price

It's not the cheapest chippie in Pontefract, but it's one of the best! The portions are huge so you can save money by sharing. We always eat out, but the cafe inside looks nice. Batter is light and crispy and the fish always tastes fresh with the info on the catch being displayed on the counter. The chips are just perfect with that traditional taste. Be warned though, everything tastes so good because its cooked in beef fat. This isn't an issue for me, but may be if your are a veggie or pescatarian.

Lovely staff and the best fish and chips I have had in this area ever WELLDONE 😁

We were a little disappointed this time round. Ordered the gluten free large haddock with mushy peas and small but generous size portion of chips. The fish was not a good as usual it wasn't white fresh or flaky. It was dry. Shame as never had any previous complaints.

When I first went into this chippy I thought It was the best around, but it seems It's very much dependant on the staff you get on the day you visit. Most times I go in and the staff are polite and the food is nice with good portions although expensive. Other times you get a complete different set of staff that seemingly dont care about the quality of the food, they are also quite rude and trying to overcharge customers. If it was the same level of quality and customer service all the time with the same nice staff, who I believe were the owners then this review would be 5 Stars!

Lovely place but they treat all customers differently hence why I will not return

Excellent food cooked fresh for each order

Been back here today had the best chips ever even better than yours Steve very very nice staff natley and zoe very nice staff keep up the good work keep smiling 😀👍👍👍

Lovely staff and great fish and chips . Can't do better than that !

Excellent . Best fish and chips I have ever had. Fish freshly cooked on arrival.

Very tasty fish and chips, well worth the money

Beautiful fish and chips friendly staff with fish cooked to order

Really nice place to eat lovely food

Always a lovely meal in the restaurant, staff always willing to go that extra mile for everybody. Would definitely recommend.

So u have to wait half hour for ya fish to b cooked

I would have no hesitation recommending this business to friends and family. The restaurant is clean and tidy and the staff are friendly and helpful Doing the meal they came once to check that everything was alright with the meal and then left us to eat in peace There was no distracting background music and everything was of a high standard Highly recommended

A very warm and friendly experience the food is cooked very well .and excellent service by Carole

1st time in today with my mam and daughter and we will be back.

Lovely fish and chips and staff

Good quality food at a nice family run business

Had our weekly treat in this brilliant Fish & Chip Restaraunt. Quality,taste, price & service second to none.Thanks.

Best fish and chips, the old fashioned way in beef dripping

We found this shop by complete accident whilst on a trip to Yorkshire from Wiltshire last month. Excellent food and service. Jenny & Steve are a credit to the industry. Loved it so much that we will visit again in July. Thoroughly recommended.

Best fish and chips round here .

Really lovely fish and chips will be back,also very pleasant helpful staff
