The Queens Arms in Wakefield

We went to a golden wedding anniversary. The buffet was hot pork or beef sandwiches and chips. Proper chips not frozen chips warmed up, great. Thanks to all concerned for a lovely event.

A popular pub opposite Thornes / Clarence park Wakefield Free parking Outdoor seating Bands often play here Real ales, cider, wine, spurts and cocktails all available.

Excellent food, good atmosphere and and exceptional landlady.

Friendly pub also dog friendly. Fantastic Sunday Roast the Beef was absolutely delicious

Food was actually really great and really well priced. I had a fresh caesar salad, one of the nicest I've ever had, totally unexpected. Partner had burger and homemade chips, again, fantastic. The lady behind the bar even bought out chicken for the dog, who was allowed inside, given a bowl of water and made to feel welcome. From the outside doesn't look much but inside the decor looks new and it's a friendly pleasant place with clean bar area and toilets.

Dreadful experience here - my children needed to use the toilet - appreciate that we didn’t buy anything but I don’t think it’s appropriate that a member of staff gave my 6 and 8 year olds the middle finger as we left. Will not be returning if staff have that poor attitude. Edit - in response to reply - we left the toilet in the state we found it in - clearly the toilets are not checked regularly, because we left them in the condition we found them in - my two children just had a wee so god knows what horror was in the toilet we didn’t use that we seem to be being blamed for. Despite this - an adult employed by this establishment giving my 6 and 8 year olds the middle finger is entirely inappropriate and immature. Absolutely vile behaviour by staff. No stars! Avoid!

Friendly welcoming local, playing sports and live music

Sunday diner are amazing. Fabulous staff.

We travel the UK constantly for work. Tody we found this little treasure. Fantastic service by the team. And the food was truly amazing. Every mouthful was pure pleasure. Truly a treat for anyone passing by. Would highly recommend the chicken goujon & the lasagne. We will definitely be returning next time we're in the area. A special thanks to the team....

English very friendly and warm sense of welcome small quiet town where the air and wind are pure a good breath of fresh air I return there with my eyes closed

Brilliant team serving good quality food and atmosphere

We decided to meet friends there for lunch as we ate there the previous week and enjoyed what we had then. This time, not so much. The starters whilst not cheap were good. However the mains were a different story. We went for steak pie × 2 and liver and bacon x 2. The pie comes with chips but no veg!!! I asked for mushy peas on both and got them, the meat in the pie was a bit tough but not too bad but the short patry crust was like a biscuit sitting on top of the filling. We both had 7 or 8 chips. My wife wanted liver and bacon (comes with mash) but didn't want the mash. The portion that arrived was shameful. 3 pieces of liver which were thin enough to have been cut with a razor blade and hardly any bacon and a dessert spoon full of peas. We were all disappointed with the food and without doubt will not be returning.

Came here today for the first time for some food. We had the Sunday roast and the food was absolutely delicious. Far better than other places, this was actually very tasty. Great, welcoming, friendly staff that were very helpful. Blacksheep on tap too, so I knew this place was going to be a hit. Will definitely be back.

Called in for lunch and tucked into the steak and peppercorn pie. It was absolutely amazing. Atmosphere is amazing and Fran does nothing but look after everyone in the pub. Lovely friendly local with great beers in draught and a great selection of drinks. Will definately be back.

I really enjoyed my Sunday lunch. I've eaten in and had a takeaway o several occasions. Very good value for money everything is delicious particularly the meat, cauliflower cheese and the gravy. The homemade pies are also well worth a taste.

First visit ..just popped in to see what it's about ... Thought bit pricey Pint Cruzcampo and a mug of tea £8.30... not sure breakdown of each Maybe could share on here ..

Myself and family went to the Queens for Sunday lunch.Every meal was piping hot which is a big thing for me I hate cold food. I’m gluten free and I also had a full pork roast with Yorkshire puddings ,Roast potatoes and gravy. To finish GF sticky toffee pudding and custard. Best Sunday lunch I’ve had I ages.I highly recommend .

Wow just had a lamb dinner today was absolutely amazing. The lamb was so tender the veg seasoned well really tasty . The cauliflower cheese outstanding and dont even get me started on the guiness yorkies fantastic meal and well worth £7.00

Great place for a functions. Thank you to all the staff

Nice friendly place for a Christmas drink

Fantastic pub, very tasty food and price. Great atmosphere

Had the Sunday lunch was delicious really filling meat was so tender and a separate cauliflower cheese scrummy really nice atmosphere friendly staff

I really cannot fault the food or service here - amazing quality food at a great price and something for all the family . Served a party of 10 with 10 different dishes - all hot all together and all stunning 🤩

Lovely little pub, great food..

Amazing food and great service, staff very friendly

Nice place to relax and enjoy peace time

Ate there on Saturday night scampi was undercooked and the young bar man came and took our plates whilst we were still eating our meals very unprofessional maybe poor training we will not be returning

Have eaten here on several occasions and it never disappoints. The food is always fabulous and Tasty. Everything is home cooked, including the chips which are amazing. There are plenty of delicious meals to choose from and the staff are always polite and really friendly. Good quality food at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this pub for eating and drinking.

Popped in for a drink and bite to eat, saw it was Wednesday pizza night. Homemade pizza, chips and slaw for £10. We both ordered one. The chips are homemade, thick and delicious. The slaw thick and creamy. The pizzas arrived, they are huge, gorgeous base with extra toppings. Eyes were bigger than our bellies, so boxed what we couldn’t eat and took it home! Will definitely be back for more 😋

Lovely pub with great food and a fine selection of drinks. Large outdoor seating area for those sunny days too. Never seems to be over busy, which is strange but great for those who do call in.

Went to a 60th birthday party the buffet was the best by far I have ever had. Such choice.and quality food. Never seen such a lay out. The pork pie was to die for. So many different dishes not your sausage on sticks and sausage rolls and curled up sandwiches kind of do. Such a credit to all involved

Nice little friendly pub with tastie food at the right price for wat you actually get.

Absolutely gorgeous food. Very friendly service. It was a bit slow admittedly but the wait was definitely worth it considering how lovely the food tasted. Beautifully decorated pub with a happy friendly atmosphere. I'd love to come back here very soon 😊

We went for lunch today, family visiting from Australia so a meet up.The food was delicious and service was great,we will definitely go back

Very good atmosphere food was absolutely fantastic and good value for money all in all brilliant will definitely be going back

Had a really nice meal, staff were very good. Unfortunately the experience was spoiled by noisy foul mouthed individuals. It's a shame as would happily return for the pub food and drink but don't want to be subjected to loud foul language

Not really sure what to think typical get stared at on entry and not very welcoming at all

Well priced beer, bar snacks and food and a pool table which is always a bonus.

Very nice food not bad prices and very nice staff

I was in Wakefield staying in a hotel close and me and a friend were looking to eat somewhere in the vicinity. We've passed the pub which is on Denny Dale Road previously on the way to the city centre but had never been in. We both opted for the quick bite; 4 oz rump steak (cooked to your liking) dressed salad and jacket potato for only £6.50 each. Excellent value for money and delicious. The menu is extensive and lots of choice. They even do a senior's 3 course menu for £13.00. The bar itself carers for all tastes and is well stocked. There's a pool room and TV's for sports days etc. They even let dogs in too, so if you've had an energetic walk with your pooch, put in here and relax together. The decor is modern and there's a large beer garden to the left as you enter the pub. Definitely going back when I'm in town again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good clean pub good beer bar staff were great

We will be back. Called in after pur Sunday dog walk! Dog friendly, people friendly and amazing food.... bonus there was so much gf choice. Cant wait to check out the beer garden in summer

Really enjoyed the food would go back anytime thank you

Lovely pub and great food but drink prices are high £6 for an non alcoholic old mout cider! Same price as an alcoholic one that's not right not when restaurants charge half the price but apparently that's the price!

Walking my daughter's Dog Isla popped in for an hour beef sandwich with my wife Beverley. Fantastic skin on chips With it. Glad there was a bit of sun outside. Not been for a few years. Will be revisiting at some point.

What beautiful food. Second time I have eaten here and the chef is amazing. Gorgeous home made meals. Excellent value and so tasty. I've told loads of people about it. Can't wait to go back!

Very smart, local pub. Nice decor, reasonable prices & very friendly service. I believe the food is also very good but not tried it yet. Well worth a visit if in the area.

Fantastic choice of food. Great value and large portions. Great pub!

Just had a cheese burger and gotta say its the best I've had in ages. My work mates also agreed. Shame this place don't do food on a Monday and Tuesday. Prices for food and drink are reasonable. Back working in wakey again next week, will visit again.

The staff was lovely and the food was great all home made which is very rare now a days

So after an excellent visit in June we came back for Sunday lunch. This wasn’t our smartest idea as they pub is clearly conserving energy. The pub was marginally warmer than outside and did impact on our overall choices. No starters & no pudding. Had we not been with elderly family members we would have left it was that uncomfortable. The food arrived quickly, two chicken roasts, a beef & a gammon. We received a centre bowl of mixed vegetables which the chef clearly hadn’t seasoned. Food was ok but a little cool. In summary I feel that this place is feeling the pinch and the overall quality & service have suffered. Will we return, who knows there are lots of establishments competing for the trade and many still with a customer focus. Sad really sad.

We had bonfire night here was great very pleasant staff and public.that good we came back for Sunday dinner.my gosh I was so impressed with the food.deffo will be back.

Nice cozy pub. Friendly staff. Sat outside at the tables because it was warm.

Love their gf meals but not Sunday lunch. All food piled up on plates. Too much all at same time. Veg need to be separate.

We had a long awaited family get together and was looking for a place to have Saturday lunch, but where we were able to talk and hear one another. The Queen's was decided upon, and what a brilliant decision it turned out to be. From the minute we entered we were made to feel very welcome. There was ample car parking and an outside area equipped with benches/tables, both were very clean and tidy. On entering the Queen's the decor and ambiance were more than I anticipated. There was a good selection of draught and bottled choices, and nothing was too much trouble for the excellent host (with his soothing Welsh accent). We sat down and ordered food from their menu, which contained something for everyone, as we ordered five different dishes. Again the price of the food and drinks was very reasonable. Our orders arrived together and everyone said how fresh and tasty the products were and what good value. Two of us tried the stone baked pizzas, whilst others had a small rump steak dinner, a beef and ale pie dinner and a steak and cheese wrap with chips salad and onion rings. Needless to say all the plates were returned empty. A young lady, who we took to be the landlady was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We can cause to use both the gents and ladies toilets, which were clean, fresh and well kept. All in all this little "Gem" of a place was a fantastic choice and will definitely be on our list for return visits in the future. Would thoroughly recommend!!!

The food was amazing for the price! Great service, my son was super happy when they put the bouncy castle up for him. We will definitely be returning 😊

Excellent home cooked food that beats all the local competition on price & quality, the pizza's are fantastic & come with home made chips. Loads of gluten free options including pizza's & fish n chips. One of wakefield little gems.

Had Sunday dinner there today it was delicious every thing about it the staff were very polite I will definitely be back thank you

I think it must be 25 years since I was here. Lovely place, very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Much bigger than it looks. Flat car park and entrance. Toilets also flat entrances. The pub spaniels sat on my foot so I couldn't leave.

Out for a family meal, sandwich combos, pie, peas & chips and the delightful Steak & Ale Pie. Excellent service, warm welcome & even warmer food. Probably one of the nicest casual pub meals I’ve ever had and my waist says that’s a lot. Many thanks and we will be back.

Had two meals there. Quite simply it was the best meal in England. We had a traditional beef dinner on Sunday and it was amazing. The chef’s name is “Brownie” and he knows his stuff. The pub is full of locals and they enjoy the food as well. They shut down the kitchen early on Sunday so best get there before 4 pm.

This pizza deal is worth the money .very tasty and a must buy.staff great and we'll worth a visit .beer great too.great device ,warm and friendly atmosphere

What an excellent little pub, all food was home made and fabulous. Myself and 9 colleagues ordered prior to arrival as we were on a works timescale, the staff were really friendly, we will definitely return.

How nice to work so far from home and find staff and locals so friendly. Will never forget. Hopefully back soon. Thanks Andrea for your food recommendations.

Just been here for a meal with my husband, he had a chicken burger I had a plain burger, absolutely fabulous food, great service friendly staff would definitely recommend 👌

What a horrific pub. The young lad with glasses behind the bar is horrific. What an rude person, couldn’t give less of a care about his job! The pub itself hate customers and looks down on you if you go In there! Avoid at all...

Great local food. Some interesting options that I would never have thought about trying but loved none the less... Chocolate chilli being one.

Very quiet when we went. However, staff were friendly and so were the regulars. We both had the fishcakes, which were really nice. Homemade chips. Which is always nice. Only areas for improvement would be the decor, which is being addressed and the lack of...

All home cook food, very tasty and very reasonably priced, plenty gluten free choices across the menu. Dog friendly too.

I stumbled upon this place whilst driving through. I really fancied a good roast dinner, but got an amazing one instead. I had roast pork, the gravy was the best gravy I have had away from home. There was so much meat & veg. A MUST visit for a Sunday. The garlic mushroom starter was fantastic too!

Have visited this pub on many occasions, this time I had lunch with 'Ladies who lunch'. We all had dishes from the five pound menu which were cooked to order and served piping hot. Nice to see hand cut chips instead of frozen. There is a great choice on both the special and daily menu. The service was good and the staff are friendly. Will certainly return. Would recommend for a casual lunch.

Called here on our way home from shopping. Children’s meals were fine but you can’t get chicken nuggets and chips wrong. I had fajitas, just a packet mix that was very dry. My husband had pasta with prawns that wasn’t very nice, this was served with a bread cake cut in half. Not the best or cheapest either. The menu is limited to start with but my first 2 choices were unavailable! We will not be returning.

Traditional pub which serves very reasonably priced proper bone cooked food and it’s dog friendly so ideal if you are visiting Thornes Park

I have got to admit, we live very local to The Queens Arms, which is very close to the Wakefield City Center and also very close to lots of other local bars and eateries. We always end up back in here. The food it top notch as the chef is amazing! Everything is home made (which possibly can be) and the quality is ALWAYS exceptional. My partner can not get enough of the home made scotch eggs, tartar sauce and the Sunday Lunches. My favourites are the lasagna and pies. WOW! The beers and lagers are always in perfect condition as the landlady is truly passionate about what she does. She is a truly bonkers character which totally livens up the whole area of Thornes! There are live bands and singers on a regular basis and a karaoke which I believe is every Saturday night. whether you're a local or a passer by definitely worth a look in. I'm not sure of the food times but I believe food is available Tuesdays - Sundays and definitely have a go folks.

Just been shopping at Asda. And was thinking were we could go for something to eat . I must be honest I had never heard of this place before. So glad we came the food quality is fabulous . Fresh veg and loads of it .This Is a little gem . We nearly turn around and walked out there was only 8 in the pub . So glad we didn't. Definitely call in again when we are this way .

3 Sunday lunches...all had different and all enjoyed them. Really good quality home cooked food and very resonable prices. Service was great too. Well worth a visit.

We went for supper day dinner today a day it was fantastic. We had two adults dinners a day then two free kids dinners as they were under 10.

Traditional pub serving a menu of standard pub Fayre which is nice and reasonably priced. Just across from Thornes park and dog friendly

Been here several times for Sunday lunch, lovely home cooked food and very reasonably priced also. Also family friendly with kids menu and bouncy castle!

For the quality of food this pub deserves more custom than it has. Only eaten a few times but everything I have had has been home made and delicious; unfortunately the pub has always been very quiet. Such a shame when you can get quality food at a reasonable price. Staff have always been very friendly too.

Called in yesterday. Excellent atmosphere, food smelt amazing! Will have to call in to sample it soon. One of my friends had a dog with them and that was no issue as we called in advance and were told that they were dog friendly.

Llamado a la Queens para almorzar con un amigo y el personal de la comida era encantador nuevo nd.

Es un pub he evitado hasta hace poco cuando fue tomada por la nueva administración. El nuevo director es joven, llena de vida y es una persona muy relajada, que cree que el pub local es sobre la persona local. Fran y su equipo son un soplo de aire fresco que están transformando un viejo y estropeado en un pub "todo el mundo es bienvenido", independientemente de la edad, local o de fondo.

A menudo llamada en el Queens para algunos alimentos y nos dan el 2 por 10 libras en el menú.

My sister and I went for lunch today and we were not disappointed. The food was lovely and was home cooked which is very rare these days. We were made very welcome and the lady behind the bar couldn't do enough for us and nothing was too much trouble. We will certainly be back and as we do ladies at lunch once a month with our friends it will definitely be at the top our list to visit. Many thanks to the lady that did the cooking she certainly knows what she's doing.

had lunch today the home made cooking was excellent well done and the price is so reasonable. I was informed by the landlady that the lady chef makes all her own food even down to the pate.

We were made very welcome with the door opened for us to help get one wheelchair in and showed to a table suitable for a wheelchair the meals were of a very high standard for pub meal and I have no problem recommending this place to anyone in the area

Just called in for Sunday lunch had a roast lamb dinner .came out to us piping hot it was just like mum used to make if u haven't been for a meal at the Queens arms before well worth the visit

Had a great meal, great time the family enjoyed themselves the staff and atmoshpere were great really good would advise anyone to go xx
