Largest roast I have had in a long time- even small is big. Basic but plentiful. Friendly staff, great value for money. Yorkshire pudding was top notch

We went on a dog walk along the canal and ended up here. What a lovely pub, plenty of Christmas decorations for a cheerful atmosphere and a good selection of craft beers and other drinks. The landlord was lovely, cheerful and friendly, we will definitely go back. Our dogs were welcome too, thanks

We stayed one night at The Steampacket and were blown away by the charm of the innkeeper and barkeeper. Our room (room 6) was large and clean, with a comfortable bed and gorgeous bathroom with tub and shower. Complimentary tea and coffee supplies were provided. The pub downstairs was warm with a log fire and friendly local patrons. Sausage rolls appeared at the bar around 4:00 in the afternoon, and they were a hit with all. It rained while we were at the Steampacket so we didn't take a drink on the patio overlooking the river, but I bet that's a spectacular choice in better weather. Looking forward to visiting again!

It was only a quick visit on a rainy day. There is a lovely deck and beer garden next to the canal. And the pub is clean, with friendly staff. They do Sunday lunch, which sounds very good! But no food through the week. However we were told we could take our own food in (several shops and food outlets near by) during the weekday open hours. We will be visiting again.

An absolutely cracking local pub. Really friendly atmosphere, great bar staff and top drawer cask beers. If you visit on a Sunday, the Sunday dinner is superb, and the only criticism is that there is so much served that normal folk could never empty the plate.

What a little gem on the canal. Had a lovely walk up to the pub along the canal from ferrybridge to knottingley. I had a lager carling and it was chilled and tasted refreshing and the missus had a red wine. We asked to put ice in the wine and the lady did it straight away. Only stopped for them drinks and sat outside with our dog which was welcomed and water bowl available, inside looked very cosy and nice with a cool street lamp inside to look out for. ..... Will visit again.

This pub is great. It’s old fashioned slightly quirky and we love it. We call in every now and then as it’s not very local but it’s worth the travel. It has a large car park and a lovely seating area over looking the canal, perfect on a nice sunny day. The selection of ales are good and well priced. We love the Sunday roast. Lovely soft meats, everything homemade with lashings of gravy. The bar staff are very friendly and the landlady is an amazing grafter it’s lovely to see. Very down to earth. All in all we love it there. There’s no where else around as good.

They only do food on a Sunday, and again, only between 12 and 4 and we arrived far too late but hey ho, life goes on. They'd a couple of interesting beers and the staff are friendly, including the Landlady who is well worth a hug. It's a Marsden's pub, so the beers are going to be what you'd expect from a mainstream, albeit above average chain. We liked it, and would stop here again.

Being from out of town and cat sitting for the week we thought we would sample some of the pubs of Normanton. All good until we entered The Horse & Jockey. After the first drink the barmaid was sitting outside the bar chatting to the local ‘clientele’ when I went to ask for another drink and she already looked like I was putting her out … she short measured 2 large wine by quite a bit so as I was paying I asked politely if she could top them up to the line … she pulled a huffy face and took the glasses back to put more in. I said it’s not too much to ask is it and she didn’t even acknowledge me then just put the two glasses back on the bar without looking at me …. they were still short of the line but I just assumed she must be short sighted at that point. Then we had to put up with one of the locals bashing the fruit machine right by us (in the quietest area of the pub) while shouting back to his mates by the bar (including the stroppy barmaid who had returned to them) because he wasn’t winning … we didn’t eat there and after seeing the state of the apron on the ‘cook’ I wouldn’t dare … he looked like he’d been butchering meat for the sausage and burgers in the back of the pub!
