The Plough Inn in Wakefield - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fantastic memories,good old fashioned English pub.

Arrived just looking for some lunch on a very hot day, exhausted and tired. Bar staff were friendly but only serving Sunday lunch, nothing cold. Asked for drinks and crisps / bar snacks and were told they didn’t have any!!! Pub looked old and tired and there was rubbish in the ‘beer garden’, well manky old bit of astroturf and concrete.

Went for Sunday lunch. Food was very good.

Staff were lovely but the food was horrible. Visited for Sunday lunch and ordered the roast beef. Received two thin under cooked stringy slices of meat, roast potatoes were just oil filled containers of mush, Yorkshire pudding was ok but the veg that came out in a separate dish looked like it was prepared the day before and heated up in microwave, carrots had a whitish coating and taste rubbery. Cost £10. Will never go again.

Staff couldn't have been more helpful for my best friend's surprise party, great little pub.

Went for Sunday lunch today, very disappointed. After seeing photos on Facebook of gorgeous looking food from here decided to book a table. Nice friendly staff on arrival, showed myself and mother in law to our table while husband went to the bar to order drinks, which were put on to a table tab. Lovely waitress came to take our food orders. Food arrived, mother in law had ordered pork with crackling, no crackling. Her food wasn’t very hot. My chicken tasted ‘funny’ veg was tasteless, “creamy”mash potatoes were lumpy,dry,hard and tasteless. Parsnips dry. Left most of mine, husband and mother in law didn’t eat all of theirs. When husband went to pay he was told cash only as he got his card out to pay! Surely we should have been told this when we arrived?! I understand these things happen due to the internet not working but should be told on arrival. Was just disappointed as mum in law was so looking forward to having lunch out. And we had to borrow cash from her to pay as we only had cards.

Really lovely old fashioned pub serving fantastic food, staff very friendly and helpful shame only open Sundays. Would highly recommend.

This pub is the best staff I have we have see for a long time thanks for great lunch

Excellent Sunday lunch and excellent staff. Well done

Five star staff service and food was amazing thank you will be back

This is a lovely pub. The food looks fantastic, the Yorkshire puddings alone could win an award. The staff are really lovely and helpful. Cant wait to go again.

During lockdown we ordered and collected a Sunday lunch and was not disappointed it was exceptional, piping hot and very tasty, we will certainly be ordering again!!

Good food great menu safe environment .what else can you want in these times . Oh and half price .🤪🤪

Myself and two friends visited this Sunday the food was delicious,we stayed for several drinks and all had a really good time, great atmosphere and friendly polite staff. Will definitely be back.

8 of us went to celebrate a birthday. Food was lovely and staff were very attentive. Price was amazing didn't realise everything was was half price in October. Definitely worth a visit.

Food was awesome . Will deff go again , staff brilliant x

Just left after having a lovely meal with some lovely staff and family unfortunately was spoilt by another customer getting face to face with my 2 year old and telling him to f-off to his face. When I confronted this person she said she spoke to me which she did not and witnesses confirmed this. The restaurant said they would deal with it however we were the ones who ended up leaving whilst she sat there continuing to drink. Absolutely fuming and will not return if that’s the sort of customer they prefer to have!!!!! I don’t swear at or in front of my child and I expect any adult with an ounce of integrity to the same and speak to the adult not the child. Family pub means family’s are allowed and we should not be felt to be uncomfortable because someone who doesn’t have any chooses to drink there!!!!

Decided to randomly try this out, and what a surprise! Shame it's hidden away but it's worth the visit. Had the warmth and feel of a traditional British pub, fancy wine bar it's not but staff are super welcoming and friendly, and the food? Well... Crikey, for those that watch those 'worth it' YouTube videos? What this place serves absolutely is! If you're ever hungry, be prepared for portion gluttony. The other half's pie was massive and stuffed with nicely seasoned slow cooked beef that just melted. My 'small' mixed grill was a lovely assortment of a lamb chop, chicken breast, mini beef rump and gammon, all topped with a fried egg and done to a high standard, nothing over or under cooked. The chips are definitely hand made too! Definitely will be going back,sooner rather than later 😀

The food was the best I have had in a long time, me and my family will be back very soon.

Never been before so decided to give it a go, so glad we did. Beautiful family run pub with home cooked food. We went for Sunday dinner and had a choice of 4 meats, you could mix and match up to 3!!! I had chicken and lamb, both delicious and generous portion. Each meal came with Yorkshire pud, mash and roast potatoes, stuffing and individual veg side dish and personal Gravy boat. Also had the extra side of cauliflower cheese....... Incredible! Staff super friendly and relaxed, quick table service and making sure we were happy with everything. Social distancing and sanitising very impressive. Had puddings because after the Sunday dinner we knew they would be good...... They were amazing. Nearly had to roll myself out the door when we finished. Forgot to take a pic of the main meal as I was that desperate to get stuck into it!!! If you fancy delicious home cooked food in a traditional pub environment with friendly, attentive staff....... This is the place for you. Can't wait to return. (owner advised me wed to Sat is half price at the moment so we'll worth bearing in mind for a discounted meal out)

Went to the plough today for a Sunday lunch all I can say is I have eaten a lot of Sunday lunches and this one was up there with the best of them, home cooked Yorkshire Puds plenty of meat, roast potatoes to die for and loads of freshly cooked vegetables, loved the gravy and they even give you a extra gravy boat, we purchased the cauliflower cheese for two and it was certainly worth the extra £2. So all in all good value for money, you won't be hungry when you come out and the staff and customers were all very friendly, we will certainly be visiting again very soon, keep up the good work.

brilliant we sat outside for at least 3 hours . Felt safe Went to the toilet all precautions were in place Well done to the plough x

It's a decent enough place to call in when out for a walk, but outside is scruffy and beer choice is limited and little dear

sorry to say but plough gone down hill, we ordered 5 different meal's all the meat's lamb/beef/gammon & pork certainly didn't taste or look like joint meat, the veg & york's pudding was frozen & bland very bland certainly NOT value for money @ £11, 95 per meal & £5,95 for child what a let down compared to how it was, sorry folk's

Great food staff very friendly would recommend

Out first visit to The Plough...lovely warm welcome, staff superb, and amazing home cooked food, the best Sunday lunch I have had in a long time! Nice friendly landlord who made time to have a chat with everyone. Highly recommend this place for fresh home cooked food, lovely service, and a lovely beer garden to sit outside, will be returning to try some of the other amazing food!

We were fancying trying somewhere new, and after searching TripAdvisor for local restaurants I came across The Plough Inn. The reviews seemed good, with only the odd bad one, so we decided to give it a go. We were not disappointed. We received a warm friendly greeting - yes we had to wait a few minutes first as the staff were serving other customers, but that’s called good manners! I had phoned earlier and booked a table, (thankfully, and I’d advise you to do the same) and initially we were shown to a table near the door, which was not ideal. The waitress was on the ball though and noticed our disappointment, immediately offering us another table near the top of the restaurant area, all we had to do was wait a few minutes longer whilst she cleaned and reset it as the previous customers had just left. Good customer service 😁 The restaurant is a classic “Inn” and is decorated in the traditional style with lots of wood panelling, however it doesn’t look dated and it is very clean. We both ordered from the specials board, unfortunately we both wanted the ribs and they only had 1 left. I haven’t survived 36 years of marriage by being stupid - my wife had the ribs and I ordered the rib eye steak! Both meals were cooked to perfection. The chef even came out to check we were enjoying our meals. We had the main courses, desserts, a bottle of wine and a coffee all for less than £50. Fantastic value. We were even given a free glass of Prosecco! Everyone was so friendly and welcoming we felt like we’d been going there for years. I have a feeling we shall be returning many more times when we fancy eating out.

Lovely lunch in traditional pub

Our first visit- Lovely friendly staff and an amazing Sunday Lunch!! Will definitely be coming back.

We went for Sunday lunch. They were very busy,we hadn't booked a table but they fitted us in. The service was quite slow but the staff were very friendly and helpful. We ordered drinks,my bottle of Beck's came from the fridge but it was warm so they didn't charge for it. We ordered a starter and a main course each, when the garlic mushrooms came they were supposed to have butter and crusty bread with them but mine had no bread so they didn't charge us for either of those, they were very nice. We waited quite a while for the main course which could have been warmer but we didn't complain as we had already waited quite a while already , the beef was very nice as were all the accompanyments. My wife said the New Zealand Sauvignon blanc was delicious she had two large glasses. Total cost, food £19-90. wine £15-90. Would definitely go again, probably at a less busy time.

Went here for a family meal, we had a small dinning area which fit all 14 of us perfectly, everyone from my 7 year old niece and my grandparents in there 70s enjoyed the food, would definitely rebook here again.

Fantastic Sunday lunch great service and value

A great place , great food , staff and regulars are first class v

Difficult to give a higher rating as we called for food which they don't serve Monday or Tuesday. Not been in the pub for 40 years so it was interesting to see what they had done to it.

Food is amazing would recommend to pay a visit you won't be disappointed

Love this pub, greatenu if you like steak!...

Had my 90th birthday function at the Plough. Absolutely perfect - everyone so helpful and buffet we had was excellent. Can’t rate it high enough. Not a single word of complaint from anyone, just praise. 29 in our group and nothing left to chance. Would recommend the Plough to anyone wanting to hold a function. My thanks to all concerned. Mrs Betty Whittam

Great friendly service. Good value

Been meaning to call for quite a while due to reviews and being localish. Service was really slow to start but staff were plesant enough. 2 Ordered chicken skewers the meals eventually came without the skewer or an explanation, which is very poor, should have been informed when ordering. Chips came as wedges, pork belly was small, the mixed grills were good, pie was excellent, desserts were on offer for £2 if you bought a main, they were only worth £2 anyway, have you seen the size of the portion. Nice touch at the end with the kids goody bags which raised my rating from a 3 to a 4. All in all average, things to work on.

8 of us for lunch today and it was as nice as always. Good food served by very pleasant and helpful staff at a reasonable price. Everyoenjoyed

Nice Sunday lunch. More veg please to get 5 stars

Such a great place . The staff were fantastic and the food was absolutely gorgeous . Prices were reasonable for the quality .will definitely be back . Thanks

Service shocking food bland booked a table and pre ordered our food only 9 of us from start to finish shocking service asked for drinks twice then forgot one starters came out 40 mins after which is a long time did not clear table for another 15 minutes after we finished our starter did not take empty glasses away I think there is not enough staff on but my starter and main meal where bland and the main course was burnt all in all 2 hours later and £200 we left and I won’t be coming back if that’s how you get it wrong when you pre order food as well wow

We have been here several times over the last few months, we were impressed after our first visit so went again the following Sunday to be taken to our table and forgotten. After I went to the bar to enquire about ordering, the staff and landlord were very apologetic, giving us our meal and drinks free of charge, even the chef came over to see us. We have been back twice since, and sadly the food has not been as good. The potatoes on Sunday were dried up and burnt, like they had been reheated leftovers, see photo below. They did bring fresh roast after I complained but they should have been served fresh in the first place The lasagne had no sauce what so ever Will we go again...... doubtful

My daughters birthday is on Boxing Day and we always struggle for a decent meal at a reasonable price for a family meal. We visited The Plough today and it was above and beyond expectations. Excellent food and service in a cosy pub. We will be going again and it will be before Boxing Day 2020!

Family Sunday lunch, great service from bar and waiting staff. Usual high standard of food. Highly recommend Yorkshire pudding starter.

Fantastic food, service, and staff 👍👍

Really enjoyed our meal here. Proper home cooked tasty food, lovely atmosphere and good beer. Will be coming again

First time for years we've been. The pub is warm and cosy, friendly bar staff. We hadn't booked but, didn't wait for a table. We ordered Sunday lunch and I asked for vegetarian and it wasn't a problem. The food came within 15 minutes, piping hot. Hubby got beef and gammon and I had vegetarian sausage. We got a dish of vegetables each, along with mash, roasties, yorkshire pud and stuffing and, a gravy boat each. It was cooked perfectly and piping hot. Whilst we were eating, the chef came out to ask if everything was OK and we thanked him, hubby said how nice the meat was, he offered another portion and returned with gammon, roasties and stuffing! Had a pud, be rude not to, which was apple and rhubarb crumble and 2 spoons! The whole experience was lovely, the atmosphere, the staff and the food. We'll definitely be back, the best Sunday lunch we've had in ages. A fabulous place to go with family and friends, would highly recommend it, thanks the plough, we'll be back

Went for the Friday fish and chips deal. Best I've had in a long time. Service with a smile. Wonderful little gem. Will be back.

Service excellent- courteous and efficient ,friendly staff Food quality excellent Overall - will be visiting again

Great to have genuine vegetarian options - the goat cheese fritters were delicious - so nice to not just have veggie burger or veggie lasagne as options!

Popped in for a quick bite to eat and had the best service off the blonde waitress, very attentive and had a great attitude. Extremely friendly and reassuring that the young staff are very polite. Would recommend due to the great service which was the cherry on top of our wonderful visit.

We were tired after driving for a long time and hungry so we turned off the motorway and went in search of an eating place....and we were not disappointed. What a gem. Staff were fantastic, so welcoming and friendly and the food was mouth wateringly delicious. Can't wait to return. Great value for money, very busy but that didn't bother the staff who were lovely. I wish there were more places like this out there.

Lovely friendly atmosphere and great food

We live locally to the Plough but this was our first visit. Honestly some of the friendliest staff I have ever been served by. The food was lovely and massive portions. We’ll be back again, would recommend to anyone in the area to go and visit!!

Highly recomend!!! Fab pub,atmosphere! Excellent food!! Best chicken burger i av ever had in my life! The minted lamb and belly pork also enjoyed to max!! The staff and chef are really friendly and welcoming! Dont miss an oportunity,u wont regret it 😍

They have changed the chef since we last came. We liked the food before, now we love the food. Well done fab meal.

First visit and won't be last great food and friendly staff, worth a visit.

Absolutely beautiful food , friendly bar staff and a good atmosphere

Lovely old fashioned pub with old fashioned friendly bar staff.

We had a party for our mam and dads anniversary party of 30

We left the house at half twelve.

Great food. Wonderful staff such a good experience and were great with the kids. Thank you

Great place to have as my local. Everyone is super friendly and the food looks delicious!

My partner and I visited this evening and were pleasantly surprised. The pub is very traditional which is rare these days. The barmaid who I think is the landlady is very friendly and down to earth. A typical Yorkshire welcome awaited us. We both ordered a steak which was cooked to perfection, presented well and was exceptionally tasty. We would definitely recommend this pub to anyone wanting a decent steak. It makes a change in this day and age to actually eat a meal before having to give a table number and pay for it first. We will definitely be going again

Great Pub tucked away down in Warmfield, lots of choice in drinks, friendly staff and customers, I have to say I had the pleasure of eating here, not the cheapest but definitely worth every penny...one word delicious...if your in the area pop in you wont be disappointed

Outstanding food, really love it here.

We stop here today the food is outstanding big portions of home cooked food the staff are outstanding kind and friendly we will be back soon cannot wait

Visited last sun without booking and half hour before they stopped serving food.

Best homemade pies steak & ale awesome

The staff are very welcoming the food is fantastic would recommend to anyone

Me and my wife have just been for our lunch. My wife had a chicken Sunday roast it was ok but not carved chicken just a chicken breast. The veg and Yorkshire pudding was very good. I had Scampi with home made chips and peas it was excellent. The staff are excellent so we will be going again.

I eat out a lot but for me that was one of the best Steak Dinners I have ever had. Having fancied a little drive out I found a gorgeous little pub situated in a lovely little village called The Plough Inn. The weather was gorgeous outside but that was nothing compared to the stunning brunette girl working behind the bar named Tonianne. I fell in love at first sight. "A pint of Stella please" I muttered. Lip quivering and legs shaking as she poured me my pint and passed me my change. I sat down at the table, it was very clean and exactly as you would expect. It was very traditional inside with a huge Stone Fireplace with dark oak interior. I ordered a 10oz Rump Steak cooked Medium Rare. After a quick 10 minute wait my food arrived promptly and looked incredible. The presentation was unreal. The steak was cooked to perfection and looked that tender I was half expecting to hear Elvis's voice singing "Love me Tender" with every cut of my knife. The home made chunky chips with skin on were huge but cooked beautifully. I had two well seasoned tomatoes and two home made onion rings which were just orgasmic! The plate was finished off with a huge Mushroom and some Fresh Salad with a French dressing. Everything on the plate complimented one another. I polished it in double quick time and washed it down with a glass of Californian Rose Wine. For just £14.95 for the meal and £3.95 for the wine, this is now my favourite secret hideout. A hidden treasure! Plus I managed to get the girl behind the bars number and I'm taking her out next week. My compliments to John the Chef for the gorgeous Food, Woody the Landlord for his hospitality and Hannah who took over from Tonianne for being lovely and bubbly. Will be back again real soon. Incredible Food and Service.

Food was lovely as were the staff

Nice little pub. Unfortunately not a place to visit with alchoholic

Called here (unplanned) for lunch after a great walk around the nearby park. The food was a very pleasant surprise and great value. Fully recommended

Good food and plenty on the plate. Good service with friendly staff. Not bad priced too. Would recommend.

Lovely looking old pub but Sunday roast was awful meat was a bad quality veg was ok. Good welcoming friendly staff apart female owner or manager (who works in Post Office on week days )she was a rude as usual.

Had Sunday lunch here, we have tried everywhere in Wakefield and this by far was the best we’d ever had ! Everything delicious ! Staff so lovely too and nice atmosphere. I have just woke this morning and asked my other half if we can go again today :-)

just have chicken thai curry and it was out of this world it was gorgeous and the was more than friendly

Absolutely fabulous food, lovely staff and a great atmosphere. Highly recommend to go to The Plough.

About 4 weeks ago one of my daughter's friends from her gymnastics club had the idea for a surprise birthday party as she was becoming a teenager. We called a number of venues but all booked up. I had the idea for the function room at the plough, I've been to parties there before.

My partner and I visited The Plough today on a recommendation from a friend (for my birthday) and we weren't disapponted.

Excellent service gotta try the steak pie

A disappointing evening meal. Four meals, three served on cold plates. Food about average at best except the steak pie which was very tasty but spoiled because served on a cold plate. Maybe we were just unlucky.

We were a table of four on a Friday night and the only diners in the restaurant. The waitress was very friendly and helpful with our order. My tomato soup was tasty but of a very thick consistency which spoilt it. The other starters which were prawns and pate were at best average. My steak pie was tasty with chips but the carrots were over cooked and very soft. The meal was served on a very cold plate which soon cooled the food which spoilt the meal. The other main courses were ribs and salmon which were also served on cold plates. The only warm plate was the Cumberland sausage meal. After the mains were finished we felt we we're ignored as we weren't offered sweets or coffee, we even had to go for the bill as they seemed more engrossed in talking around the bar. Having paid the bill I was told no receipt could be given to confirm my Visa payment which was over £100 which I felt was not very professional. Things could have been much better with just a little thought into the overall service.

I booked the travel via Togo really easy to use and then amended the booking with Tamara to 30 mins later and no probs at all . I mentioned that we were celebrating a early Mums day and Tamara said she would make extra special for us and she certainly did there was a bunch of flowers and a large box of dairy milk on the table for my Mum .. this was such a lovely gesture and really appreciated the kind first thank you . We all ordered the children Sunday dinner 2 courses for 9.95 as they were a decent portion size from previous experience and were not to be disappointed. The beef dinner I ordered was beautiful and the cauliflower cheese made it more delicious. The dessert menu was an abundance of gorgeous choices i settled for millionaires cheesecake with ice cream was beautiful and after These 2 courses were more than full.

A great place for meat lovers typical old rustic charm country pub

Wow what a brilliant place this is we have had Sunday lunch here a number of times and have always enjoyed it so we brought the family for an 80th Birthday celebration of around 20 or so and we have to say the owners Woody and Kelly and Julia and all the staff are an absolute credit to the industry,so if you want the warmest welcome with excellent food and attentive staff this is the place,we will be back!! Pete n Linda

Friendly local, open fires, selling a reasonable selection of beers and popular for food. Recommended.

Visited this afternoon with my elderly mum and daughter .

Outer third visit. Tried here again for Sunday lunch based on great reviews but won't be going again as just can't see why everyone thinks food is so great, sorry. The roast beef was just so chewy. Service fab. Reasonable price. Cosy atmosphere.

Just had a drink, browsed at menu looks really good must go back 😁

A great friendly pub with a selection of real ales and an extensive food menu. Woody the landlord is really welcoming and there is a roaring log fire, just the place to warm up on a cold winters day.

We visit here regularly and went early in the new year when there was a limited menu as many staff seemed to be on leave. The landlord cooked a meal for my husband which was not on the menu that night - an amazing mixed grill. The staff were attentive and the food was good. Welcomed our daughter as always and gave her a present with treats, crayons and a colouring book - as always. On this particular visit we felt like VIPs. Thank you!

Great home cooked food, reasonably priced with friendly staff.

Called in with my son after working late, we were both very hungry and chose steak and ale pie. Best ever pastry and the steak so tender. Perfect in every way will definitely go again.

Been here numerous of times but today we ordered fish and chips twice and tower burger both shocking not cooked correctly and chef had no idea that’s if you can call him that, waitress had no idea burger was still mooing and full of grissle

Friendly pub with respected food list. I'd bought a pint and two half's and was happily enjoying. Landlord says he's just changed the barrel and reckoned the new stuff'd be 'fresher' so swished away the old and replaced with the new... Right or wrong, that's a man who cares for his beer! Family friendly, usually a negative for me, but we'll worth a detour.
