The Station in Wakefield

Absolutely disgusting place. Filthy upholstery. The carpets if that what you call them are covered in years of booze. Black . Black black.the toilets stink covered in mold. Who ever owns or runs this pig sty.shouldnt be let loose in a public service establishment. You should be embarrassed in allllll corners of hygiene 🤢

Happy atmosphere Close to train station

Friendly bar staff and reasonable prices

Very quiet for Friday night no atmosphere

New land lord and lady. Lovely, kind we'll mannered and polite. Good selection of music on the jukebox and a fair price for a pint and pool table. Thumbs up 👍🏻

Went in Saturday night, the Lady who is due to take over in a couple of weeks totally ignored me not once but 3 times. She was more interested in talking to staff whose night off it was and had gone in for a drink or putting her phone on charge rather than serve people who were stood waiting.

Grt pub. Gd luck to chris and his wife when they retire at the end of october. Welcome to karen n alan as they take over.

Very unfriendly barman found him rude and aggressive .With him in charge hardly surprising it was quiet .Didnt accept card .Do they know this is 2022 .?Dreadful experience 😫

My second visit here. A down to earth pub with no pretentious folk. Sports on the screen and outdoor seating. No one bothers you, and most of the regular customers are friendly. It's definitely worth a visit

This pub is in an ideal place, first one you see as you leave or arrive in cas train station, unfortunatly its run down and not a pleasent place to be in.

Spot on next to the railway station so handy

Had a good night. I can't really say I'm a connoisseur on the John Smiths, but it tasted well to me...lol

Always make you welcome nice open fire to get worm fish and chips on the bar just help your self nice place and nice beer Phil 1st roofing

Daggers are starting no first time in pub not a typical response

Not a massive draw from first impressions, even less so having visited late one Sunday evening. Waiting for the cancelled train replacement bus service in the rain was the other option. Next time I'll bring a brolly and wait outside.

Good atmosphere nice little pub

Popular no frills pub next to the station.

Typical town pub... ups and downs... great stop off whilst waiting for a train

Very friendly pub, good karaoke, well priced drinks

Nice friendly place with sunny beer garden.

Great atmosphere, good music ,friendly staff

Great place friendly atmosphere good prices.

Landlady's ace. Watched her despatch some handbags at dawn fellas, well cool.

Really nice pub , local to the train station, atmosphere and people are spot on 😁

Great pub, good prices, great atmosphere, good music, always feel welcome,

Rudest owner/staff. Wouldn't bother unless you want a grubby environment and unwelcoming atmosphere. If I could give less than one star, trust me I would.

Nice n friendly local pub with Karaoke & good prices

Fantastic atmosphere, great music with the in-house DJ , and reasonably priced drinks makes the station Castlefords No1 place to be HAPPY NEW YEAR

Fair to say I will not be returning to this pub! If there was a 0 star rating I would be choosing this. I went to this pub with someone I support with learning difficulties. Me and my colleague felt a cold atmosphere directed towards the service user as soon as we entered. We got a glass of juice and some crisps for him. We sat in an area where no one else was for him to enjoy his drink and snack peacefully. 20 minutes went by and the service user is still drinking his drink listening to the music that was playing. The manager/member of staff addressed us and said “you can’t be sat there with just a juice I will be getting people in soon so you’ll have to leave” the pub was near enough empty and he was obviously scared of what others thought of his pub and who goes in it! Discriminative attitude and no regards to equality nor respect. Everyone had the right to enjoy something they’ve paid for.

The landlord in here needs some lessons in politeness and manners I've never met anyone with such a bad attitude. I will never enter this place again

Good beer and a friendly atmosphere 👌

Very nice little pub,traditional look with a good atmosphere,good music. Exactly the type you'd want as your local.. would definitely go back.

Called here on a Saturday night. Nice little pub with a DJ. Will go again.

Shockingly bad and an ignorant publican - best avoided. I dropped in after a family treat day shopping and bowling at the nearby Xscape shopping and entertainment outlet. Looking forward to a drink, I popped my head in and asked the 50-something barman (presumably publican) if they took cards (seeing as the govt has spent two years telling us all to eschew cash). The man grunted back that they didn't. I asked him if I could use the bathroom then if he could point me to the nearest cash machine. He rudely grunted that 'toilets are for paying customers' , which I explained I would very soon be once he told me where an ATM was. 'Well yer don't chuffin 'av cash now do yer?' What he didn't realise what that a family of 12 were just outside looking forward to a pub afternoon and making his till go ker-ching. Now you'd think anyone with a bit of sense would have told me where the nearest ATM was and let me use the loo. Not this one. It was so nasty and offputting, and TBH the pub looked pretty flaky and tired inside anyway. But it was also, in contrast to all the lovely people we've met in the Castleford-Pontefract-Wakefield area, almost like he was trying to act up to some crude 'Hale & Pace' stereotype of what Yorkshire people are supposedly like. Visit Castleford folks, see Pontefract castle, enjoy Xscape - but avoid this pub. It might sour your day.

Most friendly pub in Castleford

Friendly pub meaning staff and and visitors. Nice new beer garden to rear.

Not my cup of tea at all, but okay overall

Good place good service nice people

Social distancing rules broken numerous times since reopening.

Closed due to Covid. They hope to be open outside on Monday.

Good pint good music on a weekend.

Nice friendly pub but could do with a refurbished

Lovely friendly pub. Great to pop in and have a drink while waiting for your train.

Unwelcoming rude staff, called in to use toilets and get a quick drink whilst waiting for trains, was advised to go the public toilets elsewhere

Great atmosphere friendly barstaff

Won’t let me on Karaoke cos DJ was playing Elvis, I requested “SCOOTER-3AM” and was told to go to tap n tackle because Scott from Panthers is the main man around here and sorts the boys out

Great local and great for train station

Called in for a quick drink prior to catching transport

Was there with the wife to night and had a brilliant time staff where lovely and welcoming karaoke was brilliant too great little pub

Lovely local pub. No frills, get what you pay for.

The place stinks of toilet odours, its run down and could do with ripping out and starting again, or flattening .

Great place beer an music loved it I would recommend it 2 anyone who's in cas call in

Brilliant.xx A really good night.

Landlord was rude. I took my disabled client in for a drink and he told us to keep the wheelchair at the side of the pool table and couldn't go in the seated area. The pub was completely empty and plenty of room. The landlord was quite short and had abit of an attitude. (We are paying people so a little respect would have been nice) but saying that it is castleford.

Nice little pub to catch a drink befor jumping on the train

Great pub good atmosphere and karaoke on a weekend what more could you want

Nice and cozy pub. Calm environment, and i loved the jukebox.

This is the pub where the staff find it acceptable for all the scrubbers and smackheads to make money on the stolen goods from local supermarkets and shops . Thiefs sell it on to other punters to make money to buy drugs etc . That is why this town is getting more rough and more dangerous to walk through in the evening . They steal alcohol bottles and meat from morrisons and aldi and also steal various things from B&M and then take it to pub to sell in there . Staff oblivious to whats happening . Disgusting . Businesses should help each other and not just allow this to happen .

Fun atmosphere on the night i visited with karaoke, people up dancing. Friendly feel from customers and staff

Nice pub good booze lovely fire !

Great pub my new local friendly and brilliant atmosphere need is a bit pricey but that dunt matter as your guaranteed a good night

Friday night karaoke is a bit loud if you just want to chat

Nice place for a quick pint whilst waiting for the train or if you want a good pint and good music because it has a good jukebox

Proper old pub had a great night

Down to earth and friendly first time here great stop before or after being on train.

Beer was good but my word, what can I day about the decor. Guess they aren't going after the trendy crowd which is somewhat refreshing. Some killer rock tunes being played though.

A nice clean pub with clean glasse and a friendly atmosphere xxxx

Awesome pub! Love the carling premier & owners/bar staff & music x

Nice friendly pub apart from the landlady who is rude

Little beer garden to the side of the pub

Brilliant atmosphere. Lovely friendly atmosphere, friendly bar staff and a great dj.
