Drink and food service was separate. Drinks would give a 2. Wife ordered a couple of cocktails which took over 10 mins to be prepared when the place was literally empty. I finished my pint and ordered another before they arrived. The food was a 5 (hence the 4 star overall). My burger and fries were tasty and great. All arrived speedy too. My wife ordered the chicken burger but it tasted funny and had a strange texture. The chef checked on us and we described the issue. He insisted on preparing a plain chicken breast which was much tastier and very much enjoyed. When things go wrong it often isn't planned and can't be helped but the service and care really turned it around and ensured that we will return.

Nice establishment. Plenty of beers music and sport. Only downside was that they didn't put the commentary on for the Tyson Fury fight on Saturday throughout. Still enjoyed it despote this problem.

Great place, the entertainment was fantastic but please have a look at drinks pricing. I was charged £3.90 for a lime and soda which is daylight robbery, the entire bottle probably cost £1.50

Nice food but very pricey for what it is. £7 for a toastie and less than a handful of salad. Nice atmosphere and i would consider the staff to be quite welcoming. If it was £7 for 2 toasties, i would be more sold but what i did pay for a single toastie is kind of ridiculous.

I've been here before and loved it. A couple of weeks ago I looked online to see what was on, it didn't say anything unusual. I then paid £15 for a taxi there to be told there was a private event on so the back was closed. I paid another £15 together home...waste of money. Previously I recommend this bar to everyone, now its gone down in my estimation. We sat out back for a drink before we left and it's scruffy. Not sure if there is new owners but I won't be going again.

We walked in around 9:30pm on Boxing day.. We've been here before and had a great night. When I got to the bar it was 5 deep and the staff were doing their best to serve people as quickly as possible as they were short staffed. One of the staff (Kayleigh) apologies if I've spent it wrong, was already working past the time she was due to finish. It soon calmed down and normality resumed. There was dancing in the other room which we got involved with. Love making shapes. Great night overall and thanks to the staff for putting up with some customers who were disgruntled...

Been in The Electric Theatre quite a few times for drinks and food. Never had any issues. They have refurbished and put social distancing measures in place while in lockdown meaning table service for drinks and more open seating areas. Always a great atmosphere and now recently brought back Sky Sports and Football to the big screen in the back room. Also eaten a few times in the last couple of months and the food is spot on! Will be going back in food and drinks for my B'day too. Keep up the great work

Went here last night for a little get together to celebrate being back at work with some of my girl friends. On arrival there was nobody to take our details for track and trace etc and we were told we had to take our own temperature! As you can imagine as a group of girls who were a little tipsy this wasn’t going to be correct or even slightly accurate but we proceeded as we were desperate to go in and start our night. The place looks lovely and cosy on pictures and seems to have a cool decor but in reality it’s filthy. I don’t think I counted one toilet seat that was attached, we were constantly asking around for loo roll not to mention having to swim in and out of the toilets through the amount of spilt drinks and god knows what was on the floor! It’s such a shame because the food area looked so lovely. Drinks were reasonably priced but trying to served was a task and the bar staff were far from friendly and they acted as if they were doing us a favour just by serving us! We did try to raise concerns politely with the manager/owner but he seemed more bothered about bigging himself up and telling us his life ambitions with his ‘bar’ than actually listening to what we had to say, the night just fell a bit flat it felt like we were in some dodgey back street nightclub, surrounded by drug takers. (And that’s including the management) Not for us unfortunately. My friend suggested we try the angel instead, we only caught last orders but honestly worlds apart. I wish we hadn’t wasted our time. Save your money and disappointment!

I went to this absolute dive with family for my brothers leaving drinks, he is going to work away and we thought this would be a great way of all getting together. We have heard good things about this place from a family friend who is close to the area; we are not but thought it would make a nice change and we would take a chance. How wrong we were! The little girls I’m assuming they class as bar staff were utterly useless, they did nothing apart from gossip and stand around. The male bar staff were heard by my sister making homophobic comments about her and her partner, homophobic AND sexual comments I may add. Which I found not only rude but very degrading especially as you can imagine to hear about your own sister. These homophobic comments seemed to continue throughout the night, they either thought we couldn’t hear or they was not bothered if we could. Drinks were actually fine, the service however was appalling. It was slow and the staff were more bothered about chatting to each other and making jokes rather than getting the queue down. It was more like a nightclub than a bar, understandably it was the weekend and yes I’m aware late on a Friday/Saturday evening more customers arrive and the atmosphere will change but drug use was obvious and very prominent, the manager was also outside participating in this and was caught by 3 members of my family. We were really looking forward to spending time together as a family and quite honestly this ruined my brothers while leaving party. The toilets were filthy, the toilet seats weren’t attached, no toilet roll, a lot of drug users, dirty glasses, absolutely ZERO social distancing regulations in place, everyone crammed together in a small space. Just awful. Ackworth isn’t usually a village we pass through but we will definitely be making sure we don’t pass through here again, I had a misconception that ackworth was a nice village with nice bars and nice people. Seems I was very wrong. The higher management need to take a look at staffing on this place, I am honestly so shocked such a place is still in business.

Tonight myself and 4 of my girlfriends decided to visit to celebrate a 50th. After spending money on a taxi there the place was closed! Thur night and its closed! It cost us £15 there, £15 home. £30 out of pocket! Checked facebook page and it said open to 11pm. What the hell is going on! I used to visit this venue a lot, in fact, we had our girly xmas meal here which was fantastic. It is quite ironic really as we were in the week before <drinking only> and the new owner who could not stop boasting about his new venture , how he bought the pub and what he was going to do. If this is how he chooses to run a business then I have no doubt another lot of new owners are only round the corner. We are utterly disappointed, I must add also that the food has gone down hill, no longer a dedicated restaurant area, which I understand because of Coronavirus and distancing (which I may add is non existant in this venue) but absolutley shocking. Luckily The Angel down the road was open and welcomed us with open arms while we waited for our taxi home. Summary: Never open as per stated opening hours. New owner speaks more garbage than what people leave on their plates to be thrown. Bad customer service, Distancing is virtually non existent, Food is as average as a Haribo Starmix bag. If you have won the lottery and want to get a taxi and waste money, eat garbage at the door, contract covid 19 while listening to a flamboyant irritating guy tell you his ambitions then this is the venue for you.

We went, a week early, in person to book a particular table to celebrate a special anniversary. We even rang to check out booking earlier in the evening to confirm our booking and mentioned that we had booked the table in the window. When we arrived we were told our table was needed for a larger party. We asked why we had been let down in favour of someone else and the person attending to us denied that we had ever been told we could have that table. The table we were offered was tiny and we decided not to take it. Gastronomically I think we did ourselves a favour. The menu appears to consist of chicken limbs and nachos. . Still. we had spent part of our first date together there five years ago, when it was an Italian restaurant, and were looking forward to be there again. Very disappointing. They could have rung and told us of the change to the seating. Clearly good manners are of secondary importance.

Sunday Lunch was amazing, best around, but check your bill. Have eaten here 3 times for Sunday Lunch now and each time the bill was totally wrong. 1st time it was someone else’s drinks added on our bill, 2nd time charged for 6 Sunday Lunches when there was only five of us, and the last time we were charged 2 x £10.50 when Sunday Lunch is £7.95 each. Once I can excuse but 3 times in a row ! Each time it was different staff members so can’t blame one person.

Steak night deal on Wednesday evening 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £20, excellent value for money. Choice of fries or skin on chips, £2.50 extra for peppercorn sauce, one would have been enough to share.

Booked a table for 7.30 for us here for birthday celebrations and we had visitors from afar to the area. Really looking forward to our evening. Ordered drinks at just after 7 pm and didn't have any drinks by 8.30. Was told it was busy and people were off sick. Neither did we get a menu given to us to order our food. We had to go next door to ash's Balti which was more than accommodating and we finally had a drink as we were parched!! Beautiful meal from ash. So just save your time and don't bother booking at electric theatre!

We went here a few weeks ago for a Sunday roast, which was amazing for the price beautifully presented and there was plenty of it. I had no room for desert, so had a couple of G&Ts from their wide selection. Went in again on Wednesday and it was steak night. Two steaks and a bottle of wine £20, bargain! Again beautifully presented and the Shy Pig wine, although a budget wine, is actually quite nice (we've bought it by choice before in Morrisons). If I had to critisice anything, I would have preferred chips to fries with a steak but that's no big deal. Again, We couldn't manage to do more than look at the desert menu, as we were too full. Unfortunately they are not open on a Monday for food, or I would be there right now instead of sitting here hungry writing a review We shall return.

I wrote a review a couple of years ago based on the poor experience a family member had endured and concluded that I "wouldn't bother " visiting this place. I did end up " bothering" on New Years Eve but was not expecting much. I was however pleasantly surprised and felt it only reasonable to report my own personal findings. The service was first rate from start to finish, the food was all very good and the price was more than reasonable. Based on this visit I would definitely return. Owner/management could do with keeping a close eye on consistency of quality as reviews differ wildly but there were no complaints from us on New Year's Eve.

Where to start? Prosecco on arrival it grandly advertised but no, we were kept for sometime near the door, so much so, a couple had to ask us to move so they could get their pram in. We were eventually showed to our table - the room was cold - boiler issues we were later told. Prosecco came a bit later.Starters were adequate, so no issues. However, the main courses..oh dear! 3/4 meals wrong despite a visit to advise of our choices and a subsequent (albeit unacknowledged!!) Email to confirm.The menu said brocolli but ours was missing. A few parsnips, 2 carrots, an odd roast potato and a spoonful of mash were in evidence, but the sprouts with bacon weren't. So we asked for them, and a bowl of microwaved cannonballs came, minus the bacon. They were impossible to cut let alone eat, pigs inj blankets (plural) was in fact singular.One of the stuffing balls was missing, absent without leave.Desserts?? The aero cheesecake was more like chocolate mousse, and one of the clearly microwaved lemon sponges had an overcooked crystallised inedible lump in the middle.A complimentary bottle of Prosecco (opened), a drink and a reduction doesn't make up for a spoiled Christmas dinner.We used to like this place, but its unlikely we'll ever return.

The burgers were lovely, however, to hear a staff member mock me as I asked for a condiment when they walked back to the kitchen was horrific, if your staff are going to mock their customers, please turn your music up louder. Other than that, the food was great and the service was great. Just the mocking of asking for a sauce that stopped me from giving this a 5 star

Don’t go to the Electric Theatre unless you want to be bitterly disappointed eat horrible cold food and pay a fortune for it. There are not enough staff as a consequence the food and service is very, very poor. The staff that are there are distracted, overworked and defeated. They admit the service is lamentable and say that the owners keep cutting the staff down to unacceptable levels. We were served tacos without sour cream or guacamole because the kitchen didnt have any. We had to wait 45 mins to be served with our first course. The second was cold instead of hot. There were six of us and it took 40 minutes from the first person to the last person to be served with our main course so we weren’t able to eat at the same time.. Anyway it was cold. It took 30 minutes to get our bill because the manager forgot about us and left the restaurant. It was a total insult and left me feeling miserable and upset. I shouldn’t have paid but I just wanted to get out of there. By the way other customers were complaining as well.

Yesterday I went there for a meal with colleagues. Very disappointed!!! Firstly there was no heating, two convector heaters had been supplied but had very little affect. I believe that we should have been told that there was no heating and given the choice whether to stay or not. Some members had to sit with their coats on. Not acceptable.We ordered various drinks one of the glasses had lipstick on the rim!!The food was then ordered but it took ages to arrive, the general opinion of the food was acceptable although some people had the salmon linguine and they remarked that it was not hot enough.It was also noted that there were no other customers, not surprising after our experience.I do believe that it is such a shame as the impression given on the decor and ambience when I entered the venue was good. I really think they need to look how this restaurant is run. The waitress was helpful, but the other man on duty was very surly and definitely gave the impression that we were and inconvenience to him.

Visit to the electric theatre whilst visiting family, came to this place due to the good TripAdvisor reviews. We ordered calamari to start and the nachos, calamari was awful, clearly cooked from frozen and was very chewy. When mains came one of us ordered wenslydale chicken with dauphinoise potatoes and cherry tomato sauce, what came was chicken breast new potatoes and no sauce. No one came to check that the food we where eating was okay, so we had to go up to the desk to ask why we had been served something different, the waitress apologised and said we should have been informed, but we hadnt... We also had crispy chilli beef, what come out was inedible. During the food noone asked how are food was and took 25 minutes to come clear the plates away. Informed the waitress how bad the food was and they explained they where short staffed and only had one chef working today. (Not good enough in my opinion on a Saturday night). Another table saw we had problems with our food so came over to explain they also had the same issue with the starters and where dreading the mains after seeing ours. To top it all off we were being pested by flys and one landed in my cocktail!

Really don’t like writing this but the place deserves better. The food, once you finally receive it was cooked ok, reasonable quality but 3 out of our 5 meals were cold. Took ages for drinks. To the owners of this place, don’t place blame on your waiting staff, they are working their backsides off, were polite and helpful. Just employ some more people and replace the manager, he would rather go out for a cigarette than help customers.Could be so much better.

Arrived at Electric theatre around 1pm as table booked. Greeted by friendly waitress who showed us to our table gave us menus, and took our drinks order. Our drinks were brought quickly and our lunch order was taken and was delivered very quick. The roast beef was to die for melting in my mouth.Would highly recommend The Electric Theatre both for Sunday lunch and light lunch n evening meals throughout the week. The theme nights look brilliant too.

We decided to return to the Electric Theatre with friends for Thai Night. We arrived to a quiet restaurant and were a little worried. We’d heard great things about the new chef so why such an empty restaurant? We needn’t have worried at all. Karen and Jordan were great. 2-4-1 cocktails not to be missed. The food was amazing - some of the best Thai food we’ve eaten. We will definitely be back soon.

This place is fantastic, friendly staff, gorgeous food, prompt service and great value for money! From the moment we stepped through the door we were greeted with a warm welcome from Karen, the food was excellent too, compliments to Andy the chef. I will definitely be returning again.

So I’ve used this establishment for drinks with friends quite frequently, but never tasted the food! On Sunday we went for Sunday lunch after hearing excellent reviews following a new chef & menu being in place! Wow - the food was the nicest I’ve had for a long time, a beautifully presented Sunday lunch! Cooked perfect and so tasty! The portions are massive and I could have easily had my child’s size - we ate everything as it was just delicious!The service was brilliant, very at-tentative and balanced with quick service without rushing you! Karen the restaurant manager was amazing, explained everything we asked and was professional with a friendly welcoming warmth! Well done the electric theatre I sincerely wish you well - hard work builds great custom and happy staff bring happy people! Obviously we will be back! Thank you Karen amazing service along with the bar staff and chef you have a gem of a team! I hope the owners see this and reflect their thanks to you x

Passed by here many times before but as the main part seemed a little run down we hadn't given it a second thought. This time however, We were in need of a break as our journey had been fraught with heavy traffic so we pulled in and were so glad that we did. A very pleasant refreshment stop, with helpful, friendly and smiling staff meant that we stayed a little longer than intended. We shall definitely call in again when travelling this route.

Visited yesterday, very pushy staff. I like time to spend looking but seemed to be pushing too much to buy so went without buying anything. I wont visit again.
