The Star Sandal in Wakefield

Proper pub, dog friendly, great beers and friendly staff

Just had drink so cannot comment on food, but always busy, unfortunately couldn't get a seat so only stayed for one. Been visiting this pub over 40 years on and off, after a few discreet refurbishments along the way, it still remains it's beautiful, typical old English pub. Dogs allowed too Which gets a big tick in my book !

I love this pub. The ale selection is amazing always something different to choose from. Always a good atmosphere, dog friendly good car park and live music. The staff are very friendly and good at the jobs they do

Welcoming and hot sausage rolls to share

Beer quality has gone down over the past year, no longer the pub it was. Won't be going again in the near future. Beer garden a mess with poor furniture.

Went for a pie and chips dinner and it was the best I've ever had lots of meat good quality chips and peas gravy. 😋

Great place and a huge range of quality beers. Also very dog friendly

Proper pub,good beer and good food at reasonable prices

Went for pie night. Amazing pies, great value

A lovely quiet venue for a christening brunch. Beautiful little country pub.

First time visiter will definitely go again + dog friendly

You can never not love the quiz night on a Tuesday

Always busy on a Friday and Saturday night, with a lively atmosphere. Limited seating when it's busy, so prepare to stand! Outdoor seating to the front in the carpark or in the beer garden to the rear. Sundays they provide complimentary home cooked nibbles such as roast potatoes, sausage rolls or antipasti platter

Great real ale pub. Does not sell food

Great place. Four real ales and good food. Friendly relaxing place. Dog friendly. 🐕 Helpful knowledgeable staff. Highly Recommended

Smashing local pub, always nice and busy, great atmosphere, lovely staff.

A proper pub with friendly staff and decent beer.

No food but drinks selection was very good..... atmosphere great....

Brilliant atmosphere. Really nice looking pub inside and out. Staff are class and words can't describe how good pie night Monday is! Top place.

Past this pub so many times and wanted to visit as it looked so nice and welcoming. Finally manged to come for a visit. At first my husband I thought it was a nice little pub and was enjoying a dink after visiting the italan next door. The evening was cut short as a regular decided to attack my husband with abusive language for no reason and was looking for a fight. It was obviously the regular that was at fault but he wasn't asked to leave making my husband and I feel unwelcome. Being "ex army" is no excuse to behave that way. We won't be visiting again and unless you'd like to run the risk of being attacked by regulars I would advise visiting either. Maybe training for staff on how to deal with abusive customers would be an advantage.

Used to be a nice place. Now nobody seems to be bothered the bar is constantly piss wet through, never wiped up. 2 things you can guarantee here, never get a seat and wet sleeve

Clean and tidy pub, roaring fire and great beer brewed by the pub.

Nice pub, nice cask ales, just don't go here if you want a coffee because they don't sell it!

Friendly pub in comfortable surroundings

Comfortable with a friendly atmosphere good bar staff.

Packed with noisy, rowdy pre christmas drunks..... too loud to even talk.... never again

Went for a funeral, they provided great food for an early lunch ,very friendly staff it was lovely

Good caske ales and a micro at the back to brue his own ale Will call again

Monday pie night , amazing pies . Great friendly atmosphere in a proper pub .

Great staff, friendly atmosphere. Dog's are welcomed in and out the pub.

A really lovely local pub that has stood the test of time. The atmosphere is great, the wine is rather expensive

Good pub, well priced. Good atmosphere as was busy up until closing time. Could do with a keg craft beer or two to add to their selection.

GREAT PUB.STAFF REALLY NICE AND FRIENDLY

Nice cosy atmosphere I didn't have food but it did smell amazing defo will try food next time

Great little pub, we used to frequent this place a lot a few years back and then it got turned into a fancy restaurant which killed it for us, however it has been taken over again by the current owners and its back to being a cracking little boozer, real ale on tap and friendly staff, this is how a pub should be run.. Highly recommended.

Cracking pub, always seems busy so sometimes it's hard to find a seat. Lovely beer garden. Cracking selection of ales and always kept perfectly. Lovely bar staff. Plenty of parking. Great pub all round. Not had food here but it's meant to be very nice.

Went to a 40th birthday party in the outside area, friendly staff good food,

Favourite pub in the whole world, me and my boyfriend love coming in on Monday for pie night! It’s literally to die for. The staff are all so lovely and smiley and make the experience so much better, will miss this pub while I’m away for uni :(

Great pub atmosphere, and also dog friendly! Lovely staff which make you feel right at home. Pie night on a Monday is unbelievable and the best pie in town!

Lovely setting however disinterested staff and a rowdy set of customers which even after mentioning they were been inappropriate nothing was done so we left

Excellent pub. Friendly staff and a great selection of drinks. Dog friendly too. Would highly recommend.

Great homely traditional pub. Both bar staff and customers are very friendly. Enjoyed a couple of drinks on a Saturday afternoon. Good to see a pub doing well in today's climate

What can I say. First time visiting here and I was very surprised. Beautiful pub with very friendly people and wonderful bar staff. Open fires add to the welcoming experience. Highly recommended.

To say it was a micro brewery very poor only had a stout on come on !!!!!!

Friendly staff, wecoming atmosphere - will visit regularly!

This is literally my favourite pub, its a proper pub. Unfortunately I live miles away so i can only have 1 pint per visit. Lovely ales, very clean well pulled lager and most importantly awesome staff. Very friendly. A really nice friendly atmosphere, no idiots even on a friday saturday night. Its full, very busy but busy with decent folk. Plus lots a dogs wandering round for a stroke which is awesome in my book

Called in for a few drinks with great friends, great service and polite happy bar staff. X

A friendly warm and comfortable pub with a nice feel to it. Two open fires.

Excellent popular independent pub selling good selection of beers. Reasonably priced, friendly, large outdoor area.

It was brilliant. Booked quite random for mums funeral and pleased to say it was spot on. Great food , layout and staff very friendly and accomodating. Its definitely on our to do list again for a more convivial occasion/celebration. Stu Stoner Feb 2022

Good atmosphere nice friendly bar staff. Nice pint. What more can one ask for.

The Pub, food, beer and staff lived up to the reviews. Pie Night! Exceptional Steak and Ale pie with a variety of great beers and friendly staff! Best place in Sandal.

Nice pub but I went on a Friday evening and it was unbelievably busy

First time eating here , we went on pie night it was gorgeous with a good range of pies , staff friendly and welcoming, will definitely return 😋

Nipped in for a drink on Friday evening. The pub wasn't too busy but had a nice atmosphere. Nice selection of ales and friendly staff.

Lovely warm and friendly atmosphere

Nice and friendly place but no Covid measures whatsoever. Packed, no one wearing masks and groups singing at the top of their lungs. I couldn't get out fast enough. Recommended if you want to catch coronavirus 🤦🏼‍♀️
