The Black Horse in Wakefield

Friday, Saturday, Sunday one of the best pubs in town , and I've over 50 years experience of boozing in the city centre.

Fantastic pub ,great service. Called in with friends from all over the North, they were very impressed with this establishment as was I. Great barstaff excellent atmosphere, good selection of beers, will be calling again. Thanks for a great afternoon,sorry we missed the band I pretty sure they would have added to the day out.

Great place have some fantastic deals on bottomless brunch is one was fantastic

My first time in Wakefield and my first time at this pub. It was a Saturday night and the band was great. Really enjoyed talking to some of the locals, a very friendly place. The outside area is also great and is covered and I believe there is also music on out there weekly. Thanks for a great night ❤️

As my mum has put on a previous review about my brother I am in agreement with her and the fact that yourselves are telling someone who has ran pubs the majority of her life and myself and my AUTISTIC brother who have lived in pub the majority of their lives that they cannot accept that different venues have different policies when in actual fact you’re breaking the law by discriminating an individual with protected characteristics says a lot about yourselves in itself. It was me that really wanted to go into your establishment due to the amount of fun we had in there last year but I will never put money into an establishment that discriminates and then won’t accept it and take responsibility so you will not see any of us again

Tried to go in tonight with my 19year old son , my daughter and a couple of friends to be told we couldn't go in as my son was wearing tracksuit bottoms. We'd been at the fetherstone v Sheffield Eagles game so thought we'd call in as we had such an amazing time last year. My son has autism and is extremely sensitive and lives in tracksuit bottoms. Even when we go somewhere smart his bottoms have an elastic waist. The doorman was very abrasive so my son was almost in tears, he didn't understand and kept saying I've got id. I had to take him to 1 side and say sorry mate come on we'll go somewhere else. We went to elephant where they went above and beyond to make my son feel welcome and accepted. We spent rest of the night playing pool with Wakefield supporters. Next time we play either Wakefield or fetherstone we'll be going in the elephant. My son also plays learning disabilities rugby for Sheffield and plays festivals throughout the country some of which are in fetherstone and Wakefield and we'll be telling them the same that if they want a drink and to be accepted to go no where near the black horse.

Brilliant pub. Great food and lots of choice. Big selection on drinks too. Great service with the biggest and best beer garden in town. Lots of live entertainment too every week

On the lookout for a Bloody Mary, we called in at the Black Horse. No tomato juice in sight. We asked for the cocktails menu, but they couldn't find one, sigh. Staff were slack. They offered to read one to me from behind the bar. I said give it to me. DUR. Nice to sit out, but just come for a beer and move on party goers. There are plenty of choices in town.

Our company came here for drinks and snacks after an event, and what a pleasure to be here. The service was superb, everyone was so friendly, lovely and helpful. They organised some games for us and put up with our singing :) Thanks so much for such a lovely welcome to Wakefield!

Was really quiet when I was there but was there for a private event. Didn't eat so can't say about the food but the service from the bar staff was lovely and the atmosphere with the private party was awesome. I was there on a week day so that would explain the quietness

Amazing bottomless Brunch! 26 of us and we never had to wait for a drink .Amazing food and drinks and the lovely friendly staff couldn't do enough for us …will definitely be back ❤️ what an amazing place to start off my 50th Celebrations

Excellent music outside in the beer garden great sound

Food is pretty patchy, wouldn't visit again.

We went at a quiet time (midday Sunday) so not many in yet but staff were great. We didn't have food.

This was a fantastic bar for drinking, with a traditional layout that is fancy too! The map on the wall is a slick addition, mock greenery adds a feel and counter is nicely compacted. I had a cheap bottle of Desperados, sitting at the comfortable chairs on a smooth wooden table!

It is an absolutely fabulous, spotless, clean, and professionally run pub. A true credit to the team. Thanks for a lovely Sunday afternoon. Neil

Somewhat quiet when we went in, called for a drink before going to Theatre, but a good atmosphere and friendly bar staff,

Fantastic venue.... Great service and brilliantl live music

More expensive than other places in town. Had to move to the lower bar after being ignored for 5 mins despite staff pulling pints in front me and no sign saying they didn't serve in that area

Decent range of beers and nice staff. It can get a bit loud inside sometimes, but there's a beer garden.

One of the best Pubs on Westgate, with a massive selection of drinks. Always been made to feel very welcome from the Staff. This Pub has a lot to offer for every type of visitor if your looking for a night with good live music it is here or if you want a to chill on your own the Pubs large patio gives you that option too. Keep up the good work Black Horse!!

Sorry didn't eat but a fantastic pub .Tony and the team are brilliant fantastic atmosphere x

Well I feel the need to write this review as my family and myself came to your Xmas brunch yesterday afternoon and it was a massive disappointment. No baguettes left? So couldn’t have those. My sister had no food as there wasn’t anything else she fancied. When my food came I couldn’t believe what I’d been given. Dried up fries and cold, tasteless chicken. I wouldn’t give it to the dog! It was just like left overs from a party the night before 🤢 Had to ask constantly for drinks which were not proper measures. Didn’t eat our food. To say too it was £29.99 per person was a joke! Never go again not even for a drink. Shocking and a complete rip off! No Christmas atmosphere either like background music.

We booked the Christmas bottomless brunch for 4 of us and can honestly say it was the worst brunch we have ever done! We received a bottle of processco to start which was a nice touch but after that it just went down hill. Half of the food menu wasn’t available which was frustrating, the drinks were very weak - gin with lemonade was just like lemonade. We only had 4 rounds of drinks which we had to ask every time and the 4th round was because we complained. The food when it came was horrendous, the festive pizza was like chewing toffee, and the loaded fries didn’t taste of anything I reckon my 5 year old could have made a better meal. It was such a shame as it has a lot of potential to host a really nice Xmas party. It was like sitting in my grans back room there was no music and everyone was just waiting for drinks. Really felt for the staff who obviously tried their best. Someone is obviously charging much more than what is being offered and leaving the staff to deal with the back lash. Safe to say we won’t ever be brunching there again!

Went here last night with a few friends to celebrate a birthday for the Christmas bottomless brunch. Our host Jessie was so welcoming & attentive. The food on offer was delicious cooked by their chef Sue. We were given pigs in blankets to share and had the pizza and loaded fries for our main. They also provided mince pies after the meal which was a lovely touch but we were all so full! We never seemed to have empty glasses as Donnie and Amy were on the ball with ensuring the drinks were flowing. Thank you to all of the staff for a lovely evening, we all agreed that we would return in the future for another brunch :)

Had a lovely late brunch last night, the food was great and the drinks were flowing with a great choice. Jess worked her socks off looking after everyone and keeping us entertained with a smile. Great atmosphere and hospitality

Must have been an off night when we went for bottomless brunch. Food over cooked and hard and service non existent. We had to go and pay at the bar for drinks. I've been to alot of bottomless brunches and this was the worst. Never again

Arrived here for my birthday. 15 of us for the bottomless brunch. The tables were all set up when we arrived. Sat down for our order to be taken from the lovely girl (forgotten her name oops). Food was gorgeous and drinks were flowing. The waitress became wise to what we wanted so she was on top form. Made to feel welcome. We then stayed on to watch a band in the beer garden. What a fabulous birthday. I’m so glad we picked here. The prices are not over priced either. Great selection of drinks. Definitely will return. Thank you to all the staff for making it a special day

Nice , lovely staff. Very comfortable. No hassle Nice Menu, nibbles

Very expensive and nothing fancy just a city pub but most expensive visited in Wakefield

The atmosphere was pretty good, but the tables are so sricky i dread to think the state of the kitchen.

Don't know about the food as I didn't have any though I did smell something really nice! Great pub, get in it and support the local licensed trade!

It was expensive 2 pints over £10

Really helpful barmaid, well kept beer, good company

Me and my friend booked the bottomless brunch for last Saturday the 30th September. We had a really good time we don’t go out much these days lol 😂. The staff were lovely and the drinks kept flowing we didn’t even need to ask. Lovely little pub and good food felt very welcome. We would definitely 💯 go again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you for a top night 😊

Great pub with a good selection of drinks, the bar staff are friendly & helpful, we sat outside in the beer garden they had a lady singing relaxing music it was a lovely atmosphere, would recommend a visit ,

We came to the Black Horse for bottomless brunch as part of a hen do. Our waitress Chelsea was absolutely amazing, so friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough for us. We had 14 people and she was so good at making sure we always had a drink. The loaded fries portions were a bit small so would recommend a pizza if you're doing bottomless brunch!

Excellent pub, the pizzas are some of the nicest i've had out of a pub!

Thank you for the service sue, the food is great and rest of the staff are great here. Would defo come again. :)

Sue is lovely really made us feel welcome as well as all other members of staff. Highly recommended

Had a really lovely evening. Especially loved the pizza's cooked by Sue. They were so tasty and filling. Well done guys for been a lovely friendly place to visit.

Good friendly pub.prices reasonable live music.

Fab brunch here! Drinks were lovely, food was really good but maybe a little bit tooo salty. Jessie served us and she was so attentive. She was always checking in and we were regularly getting more drinks. Great value for menu, good vibes, sport on the TV and a fun environment.

nice pub friendly staff & good food priced very reasonable

Decent atmosphere, always clean and tidy. Staff are lovely!!

Its was great bottomless brunch! Our waitress -Leonie- was great! Thank you so much! Definately will be back and will sing your praises!

Nice pub friendly bar staff good food the only downside was there's no car park on site

Great bottomless brunch on a Friday night

Lovely friendly staff and the most delicious nachos ever!

I've only been to the black horse pub when it's been quite so can't say alot but I had a nice pint looks like a friendly place

.polite bar staff .Nice atmosphere

Went in a while ago to watch football & have a few drinks, was busy but managed to get a table, was asked around 15 mins later to move by bar staff so other people could have the table to watch football. (The table was not reserved) I don't think staff measure alcohol in drinks either as 3 of the same drinks were very inconsistent in alcohol, colour and taste, service was very slow despite bar being pretty empty & staff seemed uninterested

If you like Tim Taylors landlord, dont go there !!

Fabulous choice of pizzas, dirty fries etc Loads of cocktails offered - they never leave your glass empty! Always asking to refill them, and they’re so tasty! Definitely would return and do it again. Amazing live singer

Fab pub just a mins walk from the train station 2~£10 & £12 cocktails too

Great atmosphere. Nice pint . Best beer garden in Wakefield

Very friendly, great service and lots to choose from.

Did brunch and was impressed with the drink and food selections. Service was good kept the food and drinks flowing

Fantastic afternoon food & Hospitality2nd to none .All the lads were very happy & very full (Platter for 8, Pizza, Chicken Wings , Nachos , loaded fries). Definitely recommend , great venue with great people.

Saturday 15th Oct I had a retirement party at The Black horse with forty plus people in their ‘snug’ which was a private access for the duration. All my guests had a great time, the food was great and plentiful, the hospitality and service was great and Amii the manager for the day was superb in looking after us. I have never been to a bad function at The Black Horse and would recommend it to anyone.

Went for brunch with a group of friends, the food was great and our server Ellie was rapid with the drink refills! The Bar Manager Matt was really helpful and professional as well. Great night!

Called in during the day a few Saturdays back for some drinks. I got a pint and my partner took advantage of their 2 for 1 cocktail deal which was great value, especially given how strong they were! Sat outside where there was a live DJ and lots of folk enjoying food and their bottomless brunch deal. It really wasn't our vibe so we only stayed for one but the staff were super friendly and made us feel really welcome. Definitely a great place to grab a drink if you like dance and pop music, especially in their beergarden!

I only visit places who have live music and the Black Horse is the best. Great owner, manageress and staff and their food is tasty alongside excellent service- I love this place ❤️

We were in a party of 21 for a birthday party. Most will of enjoyed the experience but for us it was not a good experience. If you like vodka, gin, couple of cocktails coir or bud you are well catered for for us who drink real ale or wine it is an added expense onto the already paid £30.00. As for food we both got 2 slices of pizza, a spoonful of nachos. It was a family birthday. The staff were amazing. Hence 2 stars. Very disappointing and a waste of money unless you want to get plastered.

Amazing bottomless brunch with friends! We were well looked after by Caris, she was amazing and a really good laugh. She was happy to get us any drinks we needed and was so sweet!! Thank you Caris. Sue was amazing with food orders and the food was beautiful! Sarah was also incredible and got us some shots for a friends birthday!!! 🤣

One of the best bottomless brunches I’ve been to! Really fast with the drinks and food was amazing! Staff were really friendly

We visited the black bull on a Saturday evening for a bottomless brunch for the two of us and weren’t disappointed! Food was to die for, made by the chefs Sue & Libby and the drinks kept flowing constantly provided by the host Jessie and Caris behind the bar! Will visit again, thanks a lot!

Rubbish! Didn’t even get to finish our last drink. It was 9pm. Turned off music and started to ignore us. Was having a quiet drink with a friend and was left feeling really uncomfortable. Will never go back

I booked bottomless brunch for me and my three daughters we got there they sat us inside then they came and put us outside it was so cold and if I'd of known we would be put in the shade and to be cold id of never of booked. The cocktails advertised at booking weren't what we was offered they were some green attempt at a cocktail that was basically all fresh orange, the prosecco was cheap tasting and the lemonade flat. The food was edible. People outside smoking near us none of us smoke, then more people wassmoking but it wasn't cigarettes well not legal ones! The girl looking after our table was rushing about she didn't know what table had ordered what could tell she was rushed off her feet. We mentioned all of this to the girl who came to take our payment about all the above issues and her rude response was "well its not my fault they have overbooked" which I felt was inconsiderate and rude! Not worth £29.99 far from it!

brilliant service from all staff, we turned up late and they still fully accommodated us for our bottemless brunch, jessie in the waiting staff was especially brilliant for us our drinks were always topped up and the food was brill too, will deffo book again...

Bottomless brunch never disappoints! For £30 you cannot go wrong. You get heaps of food so never feeling like you’ve not had enough and the drinks are free flowing. You will never have to call the waitress over for another drink as they will have...

Me and my friend went for a bottomless brunch which was amazing value for money. Leonie our hostess was fab keeping us topped up with drinks and lovely food from Sue. Would definitely book again and 100% recommend.

Four of us attended for Valentines Brunch,we were very well looked after by Sarah and Sue who couldn't do enough for us and we all thoroughly enjoyed the whole evening.Thank you

Such a high standard. Fantastic evening. Great beer and pizza. Sometimes venues have such an infectious atmosphere. Definitely this one. Very welcoming and the people are so friendly and open.

Amazing service from Shauna. She never left the glasses empty and was such a nice place we stayed all evening. Thank you Shauna.

Booked for bottomless brunch with friends. Not cheap, £30 per head. Horrible cocktails served in big jugs, prosecco from strange screw top bottles and food all mixed in a tin bowl that looked like the dogs dinner. The pizza was nice and thats about all....

Had a fab night, bottomless cocktails, prosseco and beer, pizza, chips and nachos. Served by Shauner who kept our drinks topped up and served tasty food. Rod Steward Tribute was very entertaining

Such a good afternoon!! Shauna was really awesome with the drinks, really quick we didn’t even have to ask for new ones !! Would recommend here 100%. Chill music, really good pizza, great environment.

Can honestly say it was brilliant from start to finish. Ellie made the whole experience as she was very tentative and made sure we were very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone.

Ellie was amazing! Our glasses never ran dry during our bottomless brunch, brilliant service from Ellie. Friendly atmosphere. Definitely will return!

We came in today and as much as the service was good all around, Amber was fantastic. She served us as if we were friends for years and made us feel ever so welcome. Thank you Amber for spot on service on our day off!...

Had bottomless brunch here with some friends- food was great and our host Shauna was always there to check our table and top up our drinks!! Would recommend

The bottomless brunch was 10/10! The atmosphere was great and the beer garden was sheltered from the elements! Shauna was amazing in constantly checking we had enough to drink, whether we needed more food and that we were enjoying ourselves. She was so friendly and really made the experience more enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend and would book again! Xxx
