The Cobbler in Wakefield

Best place around castleford/knottingley/pontefract. They have a good food hygiene rating on the standards site. It was easy to order (great for those socially anxious), just note the table no. and order at the bar, took 2 minutes. Staff are accessible, friendly and easy to talk to. The pricing is really good, two drinks, two meals and a starter was around £36. Food portions are good, thick beef burger patties. The quality of the food was super tasty and satisfying. Chicken burger was smoky and it wasn't dry. The beef burger was soft and tasty. Definitely a new favourite spot, just watch out for food serving times, these can be checked on website. Only thing to note is that it was busy (justifiably) so it can be loud. Parking is available.

There are many steak menus, and this restaurant seemed to recommend steak, so I ordered the rump steak. There was a lot of beer on the menu, and the steak was charcoal-grilled and very delicious. I was able to find a good restaurant because it was close to the hotel I was staying at.

Met up with an old school mate. Great food. Will be using again.

Would love to come back with my family. Incredibly nice food

We have been a few times, the food is fabulous and great value for the money. We would recommend this place to anyone. The staff were pleasant and the surroundings very nice .

Always popular destination, decent food with carvery and extensive menu items, reasonable prices, big parking area.

I have to thank The Cobbler for the way they accommodated my group. We brought a large group of Post-16 students who have Severe Learning Difficulties and Autism and a range of physical needs. On booking, we were told we'd be given an area at the top where there were toilets nearby. As it turned out, we were the only ones in the area and the table was set out beautifully for us with a Christmas cracker each. I was shown the wheelchair access and we had no problems accessing the room. There were a number of young people who needed their food blending and the staff there were happy to do that so that all the young people could have a carvery. At the carvery station, the staff were really helpful and patient while the students chose their meal (some of them being non-verbal). It is lovely to go somewhere and feel that our students are just as accepted as anyone else at the venue. Thank you.

The carvery was great. Portions were mental. 😅 well worth it.

Been here twice in last two week. The first time was a last minute thing , and they got us in even though it was so busy . The second time I had booked our Christmas meal from work and they couldn’t do enough for us Food fab And fantastic value for money The staff are amazing

What a great place the food was plentyful and and very tasty we were there on Sunday and it was very full but this didnt hamper the food service. I would throughly recommend a visit.

Young lad on carvery brilliant service with a smile! Great selection on meat carved with great talent! Big well done to you guys and to the carvery chef Daniel will be back!

Excellent food and service, always a smile from Lizzie

Called in midweek for a carvery and a pint , as always it was lovely and the lager was just as nice . The staff are always friendly and helpful and can’t wait for the next one 😋

Great food Great service great price thanks

Had wonderful lunch here with friends. We all enjoyed our meals. They were all delicious.The service was excellent. Thank you.

What a wonderful meal we had here, the staff are very friendly and the food was amazing 😁

Lovely food here,always very busy when i have been but quick service. Staff are friendly and helpful. Small play area for the kids outside plus tables outside if the weather is kind.

The food was really good with a great selection on the menu and a carvery. We opted for a large and a regular carvery and spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread. The portion sizes are very generous, and they offer a takeaway container if you don't eat it all. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the pub itself is warm and welcoming. This will now be a regular for us for food. We were definitely impressed.

Fantastic restaurant. Really very family friendly, staff is friendly, food is absolutely quality. Would highly recommend that this is the best in Pontecarlo haha!

First visit here. Excellent service, food brilliant, will definitely return again.

It was rammed and difficult finding seats. Food was good.

Lovely carvery and large portion burger with loads of chips. Friendly staff and loads of space. Clean, tidy and a nice atmosphere

Cracking food, very tasty Indeed. When we looked on Google Maps it did say the pub allowed pets in, maybe it did once but that's no longer the case. Not a problem as there is plenty of outdoor seating. All in all, a nice pub.

It's was really good experience couldn't fault anything.

Had a small carvery worth the money, atmosphere was great, the young lady that served me was well trained

This is a large restaurant/ pub with a large food menu and carvery. I was driving so can't speak too much to the alcohol available but the food was decent and on par with similar types of establishments brought relatively quickly given the number of customers. There's loads of outside tables too and a children's play area if the weather is decent.

Good was excellent but VERY NOISY ATMOSPHERE.

Food was lovely and hot n tasty

My favourite bar & restaurant, meet up with all our family every week & have a great day, love it

Great family friendly pub restaurant, tastey food, good drinks, highly recommend 👌

Went for a carvery here and really enjoyed the food. The pub is clean and modern, menus are well-designed and the portion sizes are huge! Only sold sugar-free redbull which is weird and annoying as I felt sleepy after my large meal, but other than that no complaints

What can I say everything was 1st class took my friends they also loved it

Food very basic We had the sizzling mixed Platter Hardly any meat or prawns. Dish filled more with lots of onions and pepper

Carvery isn't bad to be fair,just can't understand why they use frozen roasties they are never ever nice,it's like eating rubber honestly...Best thing to do is go a couple of 100 yards up the road to the olde tavern where the dinners are always perfect including roast potatoes 😊

Absolutely disgusting customer service by the black hair / beard guy behind the bar. This person has got a serious bad attitude and shouldn't be let loose near any public service establishment.

As always it was a good quality self service carvery. Despite that it was very busy, the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was well cooked and well presented with plenty of choices in meat and vegetables. The only down side this time and last time (a month ago) was the roast potato's. They are very tough, I think they might be deep fried but Im not sure. The outer layer is tought to cut and tough to eat however the insides are light and fluffy. All in all, a good experience and I will go back

Used to love this place for food. But the last 3 times we have been the food has been terrible. Was there with friends on Friday and the food again had to send it back. What’s going on? . Will not be back here which is a shame as we used to recommend it to all friends & family.

Been today both had3 lamb chops and chips & minted gravy ....chips were foul frozen dry wrinkled up like yesterday's warmed up ...not the first to complain a table of 6 complained too ...the waitress already knew chips were awful when we complained .. they were the same when we complained last month too so £31 for 6 lamb chops ....not be back for a while

No phone signal so had to use free WiFi but not the best and roast potatos were very good (too hard ok outisde) but all other food was good.

Great carvery. Piping hot. Which is very rare. Big bug bare of mine. Hate cold food. This was red hot. Will definitely be back. Spoilt for choice on the menu. Can't wait to come back

People are really friendly and helpful, the sandwiches are nice but the carvery is dire.. cold, bland and dry like it was old and reheated with a hairdryer.

We have been coming for a long time but last 3 times, the food has not been great. Went yesterday, told the waitress that whilst the King Prawn Fajitas were delicious, advertised on the menu as "King Prawns", the prawns were small shrimps, hard, chewy and tasteless like small frozen supermarket prawns. No feedback after we complained. Been going for years but won't be coming again :-(

Called on spec, not been before but will go again. Staff friendly and efficient. Service speedy. Food presented well, especially smoked haddock meal which i thoroughly enjoyed.

Love our Sunday carvery here, dad's fussy but he likes it here

Very busy always recommend you to book

Called in as haven’t been for years for some lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Gone downhill since last visit. Service extremely slow, lager poor, food just about edible. We ordered beef sarnie which was tasteless not even real gravy. The gammon was fatty and chips were hit and miss ….. defo one off the list for a return visit.

It’s been a firm favourite with us for years but today every single meal was sub standard and it’s really put us off. Won’t be returning

Everything great, could have done with air con on higher

this pub is a lovely place to go with family and friends if you want a proper meal out because the meals are really worth it and they are really worth the price that you pay and the desserts are fantastic and worth the price also and the staff are super friendly including a staff member named Kacey she is absolutely fantastic and she is really friendly so I hope kacey sees this review and I would recommend this pub 10 out of 10

Had Sunday dinner been before but today wasn't very nice at all also bought takeaway dinner got medium dinner to be told while getting dinner i have to pay for large dinner if I want takeaway even though it was for a child there were no signs up saying this the staff were clever and rude when I said I asked then paying I wanted a take away dinner nothing was said then don't think I'll be going back again

Spot on every time I've been, good quality and good portions

Brilliant a great place to meet and eat

Had dinner here mid-week. It was okay, nothing more, nothing less. Not sure about the bad language that was being allowed and the smoking in the door way.

A fantastic carvery that's excellent value for money. First time visitors without a reservation but we will definitely be back. Absolutely suburb.

Rate pint in cobbler. Went with my bird had 8 maretti's then had some decent scran now cant get rid of bird keeps coming back

Good prices, good portions and a great friendly atmosphere, I recommend for evenings with family, friends or if you fancy a sneaky one on your own on way back from work.

Rustic pub feel from the outside, nice beer garden and large selection of beers and spirits. The food is very poor as in my opinion there is too much going on so the simpler dishes are suffering. Is this a carvery or a gastro pub? I don't believe it can be both. Such a shame as the venue is lovely.

Had the carvery and food was excellent. Service was very good. Atmosphere was buzzing. All in all w very nice place to eat

Great place to eat, fantastic service with good value food. Big menu cannot go wrong

Lovily Atmosphere, lovely food, especially Sunday carvery. Plenty of choices.

Always welcoming, food delicious whatever I have ordered. Very reasonable prices, outdoor dining and play area. Wheelchair accessible. Lovely decor and design. Extremely popular. Highly recommend

The Sunday carvery is absolutely epic - great value and food is delicious, staff are friendly. Only gripe is how busy it gets sometimes but it's a testament to how good it is. Has a big outdoor play area for the kids.

Fantastic food, a great atmosphere, and the staff are tremendous.

Great place, fantastic food, great value for money, great staff, can’t fault it!!!

Food was average for a carvery , didn't really get much meat compared to.other carvery places, but was still a enjoyable nice meal . Staff nice and polite always a busy place so would book a table .

We love it here! Usually get carvery but sometimes do order off the menu. Me my mum and gran all devoured our food. Great value for money, polite and helpful staff. Never a problem here! Keep up the good work! :) xxxx

Chips were great. Chicken wrap was more sweet than chilli. But tasted good if you like sweet chilli chicken

Popped in last night for some fodder, absolutely amazing, the staff was great, food was big healthy portions, taste fantastic,only drawback was the heart burn but that wasn't anything to do with the food of the restaurant lol I need to learn how to control myself, beef rib and duck dishes are ones to go for in my opinion, will try the t bone next time, prices are on the cheaper side of average. Thank you very much, we should pay you visit more often

Very good food Just asking for a little help I know it's been a few years now did anyone witness an accident on the 1st of August 2021 ......sorry if this is not acceptable sorry again

Value for money. What I'd class as going out for tea rather than going to a restaurant for Dinner. Was quite noisy.

Best food we have had in ages. Will certainly return.

Went for 1st time today , anniversary meal . I had lamb chops , mash n veg . Generous portions, I 3 lamb chops, 1x was undercooked and other2 over cooked? , had to leave them in end , only ate mash because I was hungry, covered with gravy tasted better, without tasted like powder with hot water added , broccoli had weard taste , very disappointed as heard only good things , too much on menu , husband wants to try carvery, I'm undecided.

The family met up for lunch and this was an easy place for us as I live in Gateshead and my Daughter in Manchester. We found this on Google and it was like hitting the jackpot. I visited on Sunday 2nd June to find the place packed inside and out in glorious Sunshine, we had a booked table but we're allowed to change it to outside so grandkids could play in the very well stocked play area. The food could not have been better with myself getting the carvery which at £13 for a large plate was well worthwhile. A choice from 4 meats and a delicious looking steak pie. I settled for beef and pork and both were cooked to perfection and full of flavour, tge while range of vegetables were plentiful and again cooked to perfection with a choice of 4 different gravies. The family settled for a mixture of burgers and chicken salads and all of us were very satisfied. The bill for 4 adult meals 2 kids meals and drinks was £60 and worth every penny

The service and pub atmosphere is fantastic it's a lovely spot to go for a drink. I was a little disappointed with the food I think maybe too many menu items have affected the quality of the food but still enjoyed my meal.

This was okay. A bit cold and not somewhere where you might want to take children that know what bad language is, but otherwise okay.

Great place for a carvery. Excellent food and service at an unbeatable price. Outstanding value!

Well prepared food. Large portions Had chicken Diane with veg pot for £1 which was delicious.

Went as came up as dog friendly but only outside

10/10, carvery was absolutely spot on. Very busy day but managed to get a carvery within 10 minutes of arrival. Prices very good value for money. Would of happily paid more.

Food & staff fab can't fault the place.

Nice atmosphere and good food. My steak was very over done if I have to be picky but otherwise I would defo go back.

Nice pub,very nice food,portion sizes are excellent Atmosphere felt really good.Would visit again.

A party of 10 enjoyed an excellent dinner on Saturday 20th April 2024. As far as I’m aware everyone enjoyed their meal. The service was excellent. We were twice reminded of the time the carvery finished, in case we wanted to partake of it. Good food, nice drinks and helpful polite service. Couldn’t fault it. Hope to return soon.

Perfect local, good food, kids love it!

Superb food if you havent been why not. Its amazing

It's ok, service was good, fresh food better than carvery.

Very nice food and good service.

In the area for a family wedding and visited here night before. Couldn't fault it nice staff lovely food very reasonably priced . Would recommend and visit again hopefully.

Great carvery..Worth ever penny 👏

Popped in for a meal while on a weekend away to York. WOW - lovely venue, great staff and the food was absolutely amazing and well worth the money. Will definitely eat here again when back up this way. Excellent value for money and a great experience 👏 👍

Excellent food and polite staff

Amazing service, food is amazing and cheap. Couldn’t ask for better

Called in cobbler during the week and had 2 lovely carvery’s as always the lager was lovely and the staff first class . We were too full to get a pudding 🍮

Good food. Lovely atmosphere. Next time I'm in the area will definitely be a port of call.

First time visiting, nice location with large car park, lots of lovely and friendly staff. Food was delicious only negative for us was the swearing kids on the table behind us when the football was on and the parents were no better

Went for a meal but found there was no food except crisps after 6.00pm. The place looked clean and the staff were helpful. Disappointing that this pub does not sell food after 1800 hours.

Beautiful carvery and pleasant staff.

Visited here.was busy we chose to have the carvery which was very nice They also do nice desserts.Plenty of parking places in car park

Love this place there roast turkey is amazing, lovely soft veg too. Great steak pie. Will be back soon.

Excellent food at a reasonable price
