A classic English pub, quite pleasant. We had breakfast for 2 people for less than 7 pounds. It's a good option for breakfast :)

It's ok in here the food is poor sometimes in my view I've had to send it back and on occasions asked for a refund the tables very rarely get cleaned unless you do it yourself they do seem a bit short staffed not as well run as other Witherspoon's I've been to still the same / new management couple have taken over and things are improving it seems more cleaner the staff work better and faster it's getting there

I recently visited my local Wetherspoons, and I must say, it was a pleasant experience that deserves a solid four stars. Atmosphere: The ambiance was inviting, with its characteristic mix of vintage decor and a lively atmosphere. It struck a nice balance between being a relaxed pub and a bustling social hub. Perfect for catching up with friends or unwinding after a long day. Service: The staff were friendly and efficient. I was impressed by how quickly our orders were taken and served, despite the pub being quite busy. They were attentive without being intrusive, which made the experience all the more enjoyable. Food & Drink: The menu offered a wide range of options, from classic pub fare to more adventurous dishes. I tried the fish and chips, which were well-cooked and flavorful. The portions were generous, and the prices were incredibly reasonable—true to the Wetherspoons ethos. The selection of drinks, including local ales and affordable cocktails, was impressive as well. Cleanliness: The pub was clean and well-maintained, which is always a plus. The tables were cleared promptly, and the restrooms were tidy. Overall: Wetherspoons may not be a gourmet dining experience, but it excels in providing a casual, enjoyable atmosphere with good food and drink at fantastic prices. I left feeling satisfied and will certainly be back. If you're looking for a reliable spot to relax with friends, this Wetherspoons delivers!

Always had very good meals here cannot fault one. Beers are very good and well presented. Although like anywhere hotels included wear and tear is evident here but always clean on my visits nonetheless. The only complaint I have are of underage unaccompanied children using the pub as a thoroughfare or sitting on steps outside being intimidating. Overall a well managed pub.

Food is excellent and great value for money The problem is the staff. Blond haired lady and another lady shouting from horsefair end of bar to washing hatch about collecting glasses. Blond haired lady would rather have a conversation with a punter than refill milk I. Coffee machine when four people are waiting and only one machine working. It really is poor.

Rather a longer wait for breakfast than i expected, but most of the food warm except for the beans. I had a traditional breakfast with mushrooms and hot drinks for a little over a fiver. Nothing exceptional about the building from the outside, however, deceptively large inside with a small beer garden.

We visit here quite a lot. Went on Friday and had food off the cheaper menu which is offered in a lot of wetherspoons. Excellent value. All day brunch and a pint £6.44. Where else can you get that? The food was very hot on hot plates served by a lovely lad who asked later if all was OK. Everything tasty and fresh. Only one gripe about the pub itself.....it's too 🥶 Everyone was saying it was cold. We are in England not Spain. Doesn't need air con on. All the doors were open so that was enough. Wasn't even hot outside.

Breakfast came within 3 mins of ordering, all congealed and cold, requested no mushrooms, it came with 3 large mushrooms!!! Shocking place for food, DON'T GO THERE!!!! The company has stated this is a FAKE review, I can assure you this is not, It was a bad experience, so I reviewed it as said, just go in at 8.30am and see for yourself!

After visiting Pontefract parkrun this morning about 20 of us descended on the Broken Bridge for breakfast. It’s a lovely large open plan pub and we rearranged the furniture so we could all sit together. The staff were really accommodating and friendly. The food came out fast to say there were so many of us and it was hot. It was one of the better Spoons we’ve visited.

Clean, tidy, a bit 1990’s flashback to old Rovers Return in a way, to which suits the area completely fine, in my visit to Pontefract. I’ve learnt I must speak slower, as my broad Sheffield de Dar accent / Mancs (dialect) does not translate greatly across to the locals. Well having sustained a hand injury, ( argument with a dodgy patio door last weekend) 😂. I’m taking a break from been the director of DT Fire and Security for now. Traveling the Country. Places I haven’t been and seen. So this place the first I’ve come to, Well, I’ll give it top marks. Just a few little bits. The Chicken Gravy is Rather Banging when requested hot and fresh, I couldn’t eat my meal without fresh Wetherspoons chicken Graaayvaaay. 😎 It could do with a minor refurb as it’s a bit well worn this place, re-varnish the woodwork 👩🏼🍳 The bread and butter was spot on. Made a bacon & black pudding sarnie then dipped it in Fresh Graaaaayvaaay. That item should go On the menu. I did enjoy it. 😁 The dining area staff do a good job. Toilets spotless. Old uns happy. Well done Wetherspoons Ponte

Went to The Broken Bridge for Sunday lunch and genuinely enjoyed the visit. Yes, it's a Wetherspoons and by definition, you know roughly what you're going to get. However, the staff in Pontefract were very happy, extremely friendly and the food came out to us in good time. A couple of curries had been ordered and they were really very tasty indeed. The papadums were crispy and not at all greasy. The naan was well cooked and the curry was cooked perfectly. We left, well fed and ready to explore the rest if the town. Recommended.

I ordered small fish and chips....ham and eggs for my wife. When it came I was furious. On looking at the plate I thought the chef had forgot to put the fish on but, on closer inspection, there was a miniscule portion of battered fish, so small I mistook it for one of the chips..no joking. About 4" long and half inch thick...that was the "fish" I know it sounds like I'm eggagerating here but, on my life, that's what arrived, curled up too. The waitress went back to the kitchen and came back with another piece, the same size, alongside the first piece. ( Photos are with both pieces of fish showing..so imagine how I felt when they first served the one piece) The Manager also turned up and asked me to apologise to the waitress for the use of foul language and suggested I forked out some more money to get something like what I expected in the first place. My wife had finished eating her ham and eggs by this time and was getting at me for the swearing I had done. She agreed I had virtually been robbed, however. So that's done me for ever having food at Weatherspoons again. I wondered how they managed to sell cheap beer. Now I know how. Rob customers with the food.

As a standard Wetherspoons pub, the Broken Bridge maintains consistent pricing and quality. The beer and cocktails align with the standard offerings from other locations, both in terms of selection and taste. The food at the Broken Bridge is noteworthy, with various options tried, and none falling short of expectation. The decor and layout contribute positively to the pub's atmosphere. Particularly during winter, the lit fireplace adds a cosy vibe, enhancing the overall experience. Despite these positive aspects, there are notable drawbacks. The state of the toilets is consistently disappointing, with the men's facilities often exhibiting hygiene issues such as pee on the floor, resulting in an unpleasant experience. Another inconvenience is the early closure of the beer garden/smoking area, forcing patrons to go to the front to smoke once it's closed, disrupting the overall flow of the experience. In conclusion, the Broken Bridge is a good Wetherspoons pub with standard offerings, great food, and a pleasant atmosphere. However, improvements in toilet cleanliness and the handling of the beer garden/smoking area closing time could elevate the overall experience.

Just another typical Spoons only the toilet is on ground level instead of miles away. Service was pretty quick considering it was fairly busy that morning with the breakfast and coffee drinkers who can’t afford Costa Starbucks. Clean and tidy considering it’s the size of an aircraft hanger. Warm enough to defrost an OAP.

When I've ordered for delivery before they've put a cover over the coffee but underneath the lid to prevent spills, which always seems to work well. Today they hadn't so there was coffee spilt all over my coke and cake! Not the end of the world but a bit annoying given how expensive it is...
