Food was lovely and came quickly, once you managed to order. Getting someone to take the orders was very slow going. It appeared that one waitress was doing all of the jobs on the floor. I hope that's not the norm as we would all come back again for the food, comfort and pricing :)

Had a good Sunday roast here. I wonder if there's a pub left in the UK that actually roasts it's own beef, rather than buying it in and warming it up. Meal was good not great. Staff were very nice, place is clean and has great parking.

Absolute terrible bar service learn to accept valid ID, bar management clearly need to learn what ID looks like. Seen them accept fake ID then reject valid ID clearly this pub needs looking into. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone who actually wants a good time.

I was on a night out with a group of friends just recently and we booked Shepherds Arms. Its the first time I have had a meal there. The food was excellent. I started with chicken and leek soup and then navarin of lamb. The soup was lovely and the lamb was so tender and plenty of fresh vegetables. I will definitely go there again.

The food was top class, but at a very reasonable price. House Chardonnay was only £14 a bottle. Belly pork was great, I even got some gravy to take home. For a quality meal out this place ticks all the boxes. The specials board adds even more choices. The staff were very friendly and helpful, keep up the excellent work.

My wife had Fish & Chips when she visited with a group on Tue 14 Nov and told me the Fish & Chips were the best she'd eaten. We were in the area Tue 21 and decided to call in, no booking made, but they managed to find us a table. All the staff were friendly, down to earth, and welcoming. Disabled parking right outside the door. We both ordered Fish & Chips with mushy peas, and I have to agree the food was quality. The fish was hanging over the edges of the plate. It was so fresh, bright white flaky chunks of fish, and the lightest, crunchiest batter ever! The chef came out to chat with us near the end of our meal and thanked us for our custom. It's worth paying that little bit extra for such lovely food and genuine, friendly customer service. We told them we will definitely be returning to try other dishes.

It was an impromptu visit whilst passing through the area. A quick call and a table was secured and made up for our arrival. The staff were very friendly and attentive, to us and our companion (Milo the Cavapoo). Great selection of home cooked food that satisfied us both, served promptly and considered our each and every need, even a small meat serving for the dog! We were too stuffed to make the dessert.. maybe next time! Good selection of drinks too 👌

We booked a table of 4 here at the end of September to celebrate my mums 81ST Birthday. She and others had previously had lovely meals and service from the chef. Well what had happened this day? It was a Saturday and we expected it to be busy. There was a function going on too. When we turned up at 12:30pm for our pre booked table no one greeted us. We walked up to the two very sad looking young ladies. Still nothing - no hello, no are you ok? I then told them that we had a table for 4 booked. We were moved to our table. We looked like we had put them out! Anyway it just got worse! Whilst stood to order a first round of drinks, the bar man just ignored us! Another guy from a table spoke to him and got served? We then ordered and told most of the beer wasn’t available- awaiting a delivery? No apology. Honestly, we eat out every week and it just simply isn’t good enough. When we were served our food it was plonked on the table, no service with a smile! The food itself was large portions - we had scampi, beef pies and fish pie. The fish pie had minimal fish and a load of rich cheese mash- not good. The beef pie was over salted. Did raise this and got this deleted from payment. We never once were asked how are meals were during the meal. Nor were we able to ask to order drinks from the table- we had to order at the bar which took ages. Not good enough again when at a ‘restaurant’. All in all we were disappointed and would not recommend. It is a real shame and had considered a large family meet there later in the year but we won’t be risking heere again. Please sort out your staff and train them !

Went for Sunday roast and arrived before more customers before 6pm so tried to order ahead of others. Took 3 attempts with 3 different people for them to take our order. Then after 30mins noticed everyone else had their food but not us. Went to ask where our meals were, hadn't a clue. The girl that took our order had lost the ticket 🤦🏻♀️ So our food came 45 mins after we ordered. The waitress also didn't know what meats were on the Sunday roast and I heard her telling one customer to look on the specials board to find out what the soup of the day was. Very poorly organised even though the waitress that did eventually sort out our food was very apologetic. Why didn't they realise that we were the only ones without any food and question us to see if we had ordered, especially as we'd been sat for 30mins? The food was reasonable and other meals looked good. We did question why our Sunday roast of Turkey and ham didn't come with stuffing but just Turkey dinner had stuffing?? This used to be my husband's local but we won't be going back until they sort out the service. Please make sure all staff know the basics of what's on the menu and how to efficiently take an order.

The food was pretty good to be honest but the way they spoke to the waitressing staff was pretty horrendous, I was very shocked as to how little respect they are shown by elder staff members. I do hope this isn't a regular occurrence in the establishment because it was quite appalling.

I used to love this pub and food but when we went the other night it wasn't as good. The food wasn't amazing, maybe we chose the wrong things but we were a little disappointed and the staff were mainly new and it was obvious. Even the desserts were just ok. My daughter chose the gammon dinner and that looked amazing and the chips were amazing but we won't be rushing back which is a shame.

Absolutely fabulous, great decor inside and great beer garden,with very welcoming and helpful staff, now the reason we went the Food,,,, recommend by a couple in my local coffee shop in denby dale, after reading an extensive menu,hard choice, but went for the garlic mushrooms a simple dish but this was elevated to something special, followed by steak and ale pie,tender pieces of beef in a wonderful gray topped with a fabulous crust but a proper pie pastry top and bottom, all complimented with a large bowl of green beans,fresh carrots buttery mash and proper home made chips,my son had scampi starter and shepherd's pie looking equally fabulous, afraid no room for pudding, so next time two starters and room for a pudding, sorry to go on so long but it was a fabulous lesson on how to take traditional meals and elevate them to another menu at real value for money, well done to all and cant wait to go back, *****

Excellent first visit with family for Sunday lunch. Service was polite and quick. No starters for us but we had 6 roast dinners which were excellent! If I'm being really picky, I would have liked another vegetable with my dinner (we had carrots and cabbage) I don't include mashed potatoes as veg really! The meat (beef and turkey) was melt in the mouth and the roasties to die for! We had a mixed bag of deserts which were all great and beautifully presented. Would definitely recommend and will take my parents some time soon! The chef (and owner) came to check we were all happy mid way through which I thought was a nice touch. Deserves to prosper!

I’ve seen a few not so good results for the last couple of months and I don’t really know why. We are retired so eat out A LOT so have experience of many restaurants and pub grub. Since moving to Wakefield we have been trying out the restaurants at this side rather than Leeds side. We just happened upon this little gem of a pub. I can honestly say I have not had a bad experience with waiting, service or food on any visit. Yesterday I had Lamb from the specials board. It was cooked in honey and mint. Served in a small pan with a Yorkshire on top. Veg was separate and was cooked to perfection. The lamb just melted in the mouth and each mouthful was a ‘hum’ of delight. Unfortunately I didn’t have room for a splendid dish of roll poly with custard but I’ll be back!!!

The food was okay and standard fair. However the waiting times when we arrived was long, even after we had booked our table accompanied by an elderly family member who found it difficult to stand. We then had a further wait of 45 minutes for our main courses. Not acceptable and poor customer service. Sad

Just some feedback for you after today as the members of my party begged me not to say anything at the time. We were positioned at the top end up 2 steps despite asking for being on the flat as my 97 year old has mobility issues. 2 of the party had roast chicken dinner. It was overcooked and dry and both left some. I did try some and agreed. We had asked for some teas and coffees and they were never delivered. We asked for the bill 3 times while at the table and as it was approaching 2pm we vacated the table and stood in the very busy bar. Eventually a member of staff came across and after asking a 4th time we were given the bill and paid. Only because of my honesty did you get paid It definitely wasn't up to your usual standard of food or service 😒.
