The Three Houses in Wakefield

Lovely atmosphere after an extremely disappointing meal 300 metres up the road at the Castle, this local made up for the rest of the evening.

Great service and good atmosphere!

It was always a fabulous venue with great food and welcoming atmosphere. It will be sorely missed after becoming a recent victim of the cost of living crisis and frightening utility bills.

Been here twice and each time there’s no chef, 🤷🏻‍♀️ very hit and miss - don’t make a special trip.

We love it here. Everyone is so friendly, dogs are welcome, Drinks are always served 'properly'. Lynn is exceptional

We haven`t been to the Three Houses for ages but went there on Saturday for lunch and had a really good experience. The menu is varied and there were specials on offer too which all looked tempting. I had chicken, chorizo and new potato salad which was served hot and was very tasty and was a generous portion. My husband had smoked haddock fishcake which he really enjoyed. Everything was clean, the staff were welcoming and we shall certainly return.

Nice food, a good selection of beers. Friendly staff.

The pub itself is really nice but the food wasn't as good as hoped. Mains were okay but the chicken starter was overdone and hard and the sticky toffee pudding desert was served fridge cold with tepid custard. Should have sent it back really.

Fantastic Sunday lunch - delicious and amazing value. Great choice, delicious and plenty of it. Good vegetarian option, excellent beef option, roast lamb great. Yorkshires tasty, vegetables fantastic. Easy to book, friendly service, highly recommended

I wasn’t told what wasn’t available on the menu so was disappointed that my choice wasn’t available. The food I was provided with was ok - not amazing. Soggy veg. But strangest of all, hence my 1 star for ‘Atmosphere’, the lights were going on and off literally every minute. Bit worrying if they were tripping the fuse switch. Health & Safety. Restaurant looked tired too.

Good food, pretty good value-for-money, and very friendly staff. Will definitely go back.

Had starters / Sunday lunch and desserts yesterday 30th july family of 6 and one of them being a veggie !!! Just have to say WOW !!! absolutely beautiful 😋 thankyou Gareth and team 3s 👍

Great service, food and beer superb.

The squid had a strong aftertaste, definitely off, no sorry at all, won't be going back, god knows if I get sick later.

First time for me. Met with a client local to him for some business and a catch up. He ordered and Tapas came . My excellent food full flavour nicely cooked great produce. And good portion size. Presented with great friendly staff, in comfortable furnishings absolutely spot on , the best tapas I have eaten. Thank you Three houses for a great afternoon. It’s got to be 5⭐️ rated.

Had pie chips and peas And l must say they were the best l Have had, Go there again.

Fabulous Sunday roast with melt in the mouth beef and pork plus 5 freshly cooked veg. Delicious!

Just had a drink this time. Good real ale & atmosphere.

The food and drink is very good here, but a few aspects of the pub let the place down. I had lasagne with garlic flatbread & side salad - all extremely tasty and well presented - and my other half had the pie and vegetables. He also had Bakewell Tart for dessert. The beer was great - I highly recommend it: Ossett Brewery's Yorkshire Blonde. Downsides: the ladies toilets had no toilet paper (sorry 2 sheets left, between 2 cubicles) and I thought the sink was going to fall off the wall. Also, when I was very clearly only about half way through my meal, the waitress came to me and said "Have you finished or are you still eating?" I assured her the latter was the case and then looked at my husband in astonishment - he was still eating too! We also felt the service was a bit slow, they needed more staff on.

Beef and lamb roast meats were very nicely cooked and the meal came fairly quickly. The meal was let down, however, by the roast potatoes, mash and vegetables. The roasties didn’t seem fresh (potentially frozen?) and the veg was slightly over cooked / soggy. Friendly and attentive staff - can’t criticise them at all!

Sadly this was hugely disappointing. We went here after being very excited about having booked because we’d wanted to come try it for ages but the service was the most disappointing and unexpectedly bad experience imaginable….

Celebrated my fathers 80th Birthday on a Sunday lunchtime at The Three Houses. Food was excellent and the staff could not do enough to make the meal and the occasssion a memorable one. They added their own special touches to the day. Would definitely recommend. Food was excellent especially the Sunday lunch.

Worst Sunday dinner ever spoilt my partners birthday to be honest never will I return with my family

Nice friendly atmosphere and the staff are lovely..Food was average!

Home cooked food, very authentic gastro pub for locals. Absolutely lovely 👍🏻

food was ok and a great atmosphere. There was around 10 of us and the 3 course meal came out hot, well cooked and tasty. I would recommend this place. Did not like the turkey though so left all of that

Fantastic staff, gorgeous food, highly recommend 👌

Had Christmas lunch here today and it was the best I have had for a while. The food was lovely with all the usual trimmings. Prawn Cocktail great and Cheescake mouth wateringly good. Great service with friendly staff and lovely comfy lounge with an open fire. Had a lovely Christmas atmosphere. Went with three friends and we will definitely be calling here again.

Very friendly staff dogs welcome great ambiance

Great inside, clean and comfortable. Visited with family and friends for my lovely daughters 40th party. We had not booked but staff were very friendly and accomodating, even brought out dishes of chips and nibbles which were devoured by both adults and children. Defo go back one saturday for eve dinner. 👍👍

Fabulous sunday lunch. Steak pie top draw.

Shocking service at the tiny bar serving regulars first, not serving people in order. Took my custom down the road to The Castle for a much nicer experience.

Absolutely beautiful place to eat and drink at. The parking space at the back is kind of a tight squeeze when coming in or out. Staff was very nice and polite and would highly recommend.

Very good Sunday lunch served by great staff. Nice place overall, very clean. Can recommend

Good friendly staff and good atmosphere

Highly recommended The food was amazing, the staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was just right. Burgers were huge and very tasty, and dessert was delicious Very much looking forward to a return visit!

Its been a fair few years since I visited this pub but went for a couple of pints after being surprised by a friend who lives abroad. Beer was great and reasonably priced, staff were attentive and even made a bowl of chips when we found out that we were too late for food. Brilliant little local, will definitely be back again.

I do love a pacing pint in here. Good selection of beer. Decent price also. See you again soon. Paul

They have a great quiz night on Wednesdays, 20:00 start, good atmosphere, free food for participants and prizes to be won 👍

Really lovely place meal was excellent and only cooked when ordered

My first time here, good atmosphere, friendly bar staff, will be back x

Had marston's blonde definitely come staff was very nice

I was very disappointed with the meal served. It was lasagne but the sauce was like water and was running round the veg and pasta. I only ate a spoonful as it was inedible. The garlic bread it came with was under cooked. I think i was even more diasspointed as noone asked me why i hadnt eaten it? Or are the meals ok? We dont really go out very often and had paid for baby sitting, we ended up going home early.

Absolutely fabulous food would definitely recommend 👌

We have visited through the week previously but visited on a Sunday and as usual we were not dissapointed. Hot, delicious, plenty of food and worth the money. Pork roast dinner was delicious. Atmosphere was relaxed, cosy as it was a cold day and staff were friendly and attentive.

My son and daughter in law had their wedding reception here, the food was very nice. X

Went with a group of friends on Saturday 2 April & were very well looked after . There were 14 of us & one needed a special dish but still we were served quickly . The chef even came to the table to discuss how the special meal needed to be cooked . Friendly & efficient service with good food too .

Good beer and exslent food plus staff are very nice

Very warm and friendly Good food

Very surprised ! I thought I was getting a fish finger sandwich it turned up with chips and it was delicious, will go again!!

Had Sunday lunch last week, family birthday. It was lovely , great food and service. It isn’t the poshest but a genuine warm welcome.

Good food and beer, friendly helpful staff

Friendly, welcoming pub, service and food exceptional

My wife and I booked a table here for 4pm.We arrived on time and was shown to our table.We ordered 2 Sunday lunches.When they arrived the mashed potato was covered by the meat,on inspection there was no more than a teaspoonful of mash.My wife asked for some more only to be told they had run out.Cauliflower cheese was missing only to be told they had run out.The whole meal was aired at best,the carrots were rock hard and the experience was garbage.The bill came and I went to the bar and told them of our experience to be told “I will tell him”whoever he may be.I paid the bill in full and yes I was expecting some allowance but the interest was zero.I told the manager that it was the worst Sunday lunch In 20 years but still no interest and by the way not cheap fourteen pounds each with no starters.STEER CLEAR.

It's a very nice pub, but it does not smell right... To many smellies, air fresheners, whatever in there...

We went to The Three Houses for our Christmas Party we chose the venue after visiting for an excellent Sunday lunch. We had 35 people at the party and were served a fantastic 3 course festive menu. The staff were excellent all night and the food came out quickly and was piping hot.

Had a private Christmas party in the restaurant, service, food and staff were amazing. Highly recommend if you are looking for a Christmas meal or a meal with friends. Thanks again.

Lovely meal. Lovely service. No complaints. Will go again

Food was great, However when we arrived we were told that they didnt have a booking under our name. When we clearly booked in the day before and were told our time slot of half past 3. So we were seated as a last minute...

Lovely pub. Very pleasant atmosphere and cozy.

Great local restaurant/pub. Very cosy with real fire. Typical pub menu but everything we had was their own recipe eg for garlic mushrooms, chicken leek and bacon pie. Despite being on a busy road you couldn't hear traffic at all. Very ample portions!

Friendly staff, mouth watering food. Not much more you can ask for in a pub/restaurant.

Great night, everyone was so friendly, and made us feel welcome

Great meal lovely staff can't wait to visit again

Great steak pie. Waddle away, sated and happy! Very friendly staff.

Used to be my local many years ago and I revisited for old times sake. No guest beers on tap and disinterested staff to be honest. I was so disappointed.

Great Sunday roast and friendly staff will definitely go again 👍🏼 just could have had a extra Yorkshire pud.😁

10 of us ate here on Saturday. Staff were all lovely and helpful Slightly basic menu, but with lots of specials on offer. Only wish steak pie was ready in time for us to try Pretty sure all our group enjoyed their meals

We had a family meal here to celebrate my sons birthday. The staff were so friendly & accommodating and even decorated our table with a banner & confetti as a suprise ... very nice touch. The food is absolutly amazing... The steak pie, fish &...

Four of us went for an early evening meal yesterday, a first visit for some of us, and we are glad that we did. We all chose the homemade steak pie and it was truly delicious, and the friendly service was excellent.

We held a wake for a family member here and the experience was of an excellent standard thanks to Lynn. She was so lovely to deal with and made a huge effort to accommodate dietary requirements for a fully vegetarian and vegan buffet. Her communication was great throughout and we discussed ideas for vegan foods that she was not so familiar with. She took everything on board and what she produced was fantastic with a variety of tasty foods - we would highly recommend.

This place has a lovely atmosphere and good food!! A selection of craft beers/ ciders would be great (to rival and surpass other local establishments)

we had the Sunday lunch( lamb) it was fantastic, everything was hot and very tasty vegetable's were separate with lovely cauliflower cheese

Great atmosphere and wonderful food

Worst me I have had in a long time. I have had better food from McDonald's . And that's saying something.

Good food & amazing service, Thankyou Nina couldn’t ask for better service. Will definitely come back!

Really lovely pub food was very nice was fresh and tasty. Staff were very welcoming and helpful would definitely recommend and will be back

First visit loved it that much visiting again next week. Went with my husband and young daughter, very welcoming on arrival. Cost, comfy at home feel with a touch of being spoilt. Food was amazing, plentiful and piping hot !! Well done Gareth the Chef...

This is my second visit to this restaurant and it’s been excellent on both occasions. The ambiance, staff and food are all great. The chef Gareth, is extremely talented and his food is more like a high class restaurant than pub grub. The fish and...

Terrible place. We were about to be served in the empty bar when someone friendly with the barman walks in and the barman spins around, walks away from us and blatantly serves the man chatting like old mates . We walked out insulted as it...

Limited menu and staff were rude when informed they hadn't brought some of our orders out as if we should've just accepted been charged for food/drinks that wasn't brought out. Food was nice though

Went to the Three Houses yesterday to celebrate missed birthdays with 2 friends. The staff were brilliant. Food we had was delicious highly recommend it. Would like to see a slightly larger menu also more veggie options will definitely be houng back a good tea...

I booked a table for 10 of us for my sons birthday ... we had a table of 6 & a table of 4 side by side due to covid measures. The staff had trimmed the table up with banners as a suprise which was...

We came here for our mums birthday meal. What an amazing experience! The food and service was absolutely second to none! The staff were FANTASTIC and so friendly. Lynne in particular was just outstanding! Even through Covid we lost out Christmas mean place but we...

Excellent food and service as always! Highly recommend it, such a lovely meal with the family. Can’t wait to come back.

Wonderful food...Great atmosphere...super staff...will come again

Wow. Went to fish Friday for a meal and chose tuna steak. It was the best I've ever had. Very large and cooked to perfection. Also a great price. It really was special.

Nice to have a pint at my local, I must admit it's been a long time. A nice pint of beer and a heater to keep us warm. Not enough room till May 17th to be swamped with queues, but who wants that anyway !

Came in for drinks on a Friday teatime, was quite busy, but the lyn ( manager ? Owner ? ) was an absolute star she worked thru the busy bar as well as dealing with diners , lots of regulars who were in knew her...

Were told in advance no need to book for lunch - fair enough, midweek lunch when business lunches are quiet. Arrived and person greeted us without face covering (happens, but new to us), and asked us to choose a seat. We were dithering/undecided but she...

Just dined, very disapointed, very limited menu which was not mentioned when we booked. Would have been better to say they were not serving food tonight. Instead they now have two unhappy customers who will never go back!

Went for Sunday lunch, restaurant was half full. Nice welcome and explanation of the menu. Unfortunately all the veg that accompanied the meals was cold and I.mean cold. Also the roast beef on my wife's dinner was also cold. We received an apology and the veg plus the beef was replaced. Was offered free desserts as a goodwill gesture. But I would rather the food came out right and at the correct temperature. This is basic catering. I am afraid we won't be rushing back, even though the steak and ale pie was lovely.

Had lunch today with friends,delighted to see a veggie menu alongside the normal menu now. Both had been updated.Very good choice on both menus. Meal was excellent as was the service. Will definitely be going back

Vast improvement with the new owners - superb food and service!

Visited as a family group celebrating a 75th birthday. Lynne and the staff were extremely helpful in getting the right table - we booked The Nook, private and comfortable, loo nearby, no steps (important for those with mobility issues).The staff were very attentive and obliging (we were over an hour late due to travelling 150 miles with storm Ciara) and made a nice fuss.There is a new menu with vegan and vegetarian options (we had 2 and 4 respectively in our party) and all enjoyed the meal.Definitely recommend for an occasion or a relaxed meal.

Sunday Lunch very disappointing. Cold plates, cold pork, no crackling, no stuffing, shocking veg. Beef Gravy so strong it smothered everything else.

Visited in the past so thought we would try Sunday Lunch before booking for a larger party. The service was very slow to start with we were seated promptly but waited quite some time for a waiter to come back for our drinks order . The place wasn't even busy although they were expecting a large party . The menu choice was ok for a Sunday but no vegetarian or vegan options . The food was very average , prawn cocktail sauce tasteless , small portion Yorkshire pudding starter and sticky toffee pudding disappointing . I do expect homemade desserts when eating out . We won't be rushing back or booking that bigger party here .

It’s always good, fish Friday my favourite. Beautiful choice of fish specials, muscles in white wine cream and garlic, crab Thermidor and Thai chilli calamari Husband loves the gammon and my kids love the homemade items on the kids menu or steak and ale pie

I get the feeling they're still finding their feet. Waiting staff were pleasant, but a bit unsure about things. Food was nice, but menu quite limited. Puddings were a let down--like something from a supermarket basic range.

Went as part of a large group. Staff were friendly, drinks good. The steak pie was outstanding with lots of potatoes and vegetables and gravy. Enjoyed the meal
