Outstanding food Lovely caring staff

Fabulous Three Houses in Sandal, under new ownership and they’re really making a positive impact! Wonderful return to form for the pub! Well done to all the colleagues and the new owners 👍

Excellent food and a wonderful service. We will definitely come back again.

The quality of the food is very good. All dishes are yummy. Not to mention, the service is good as well.

Always a fantastic meal. Staff friendly and happy to help

Excellent food and service thank you

Lovely restaurant, good choice of food and drinks. Sunday lunch was lovely and service was great

Absolutely beautiful Sunday lunch, lovely cosy surroundings and Kara who served us was the perfect host.

Lovely Sunday dinner & sticky toffee pudding 👌😋 One of the group got steak pis & said it was outstanding.

We went Xmas eve The staff despite being very busy were very friendly and ready with a smile. Food was great. We have tried twice to go ba ck but unfortunately had to change our plans due to other commitments.

Fabulous first visit to The Three Houses! Food was delicious and one of our party was not only gluten free but dairy free too and they bent over backwards to help with that too. Definitely going again! 10/10 from all 5 of us!

Lovely stop for lunch, our dog was welcomed, food delicious 😋

Great atmosphere, excellent service and food

Amazing food! Will definately return and highly recommend.

We love the atmosphere here and the food us wonderful.

Food was beautiful, a decent portion and not overfaced. Chloe was lovely with our service and a great place to eat overall. Will defo call in again soon .

We came for Pie night. Delicious food & great service. So reasonable for the quality of food! Will be back again!

Awesome pie night brilliant value

Great pub and even better food. Can highly recommend.

We didn't have food but it looked good and popular.

Excellent food and extremely accommodating staff

Lovely Sunday lunch with friends. Great food and atmosphere

Lovely food, service and atmosphere!

Fantastic atmosphere, great service, fab friendly staff 😊

Lovely local pub with a welcoming and warm atmosphere, beer garden all ready for the summer and although haven’t eaten here yet the menu looks delicious so I’m sure it won’t be long before we do!

Excellent food and service. So friendly

Great meal, I would definitely come again

Unbelievable steak pie!!! Lovely pub and great staff

Lovely food, great service will definitely be back

MEGA pie night for the whole family 😆😆. Unbelievable portion, super veg on the sides, great service; the Threes is BACK BABYYYYY 🤜🤛🎉🎉🎉🚀

Absolutely amazing start to finish, came here on a recommendation from a friend, greeted on entry and served and ordered in a very timely manner, staff could not be more helpful, and more importantly food was best we have had in a long time, we opted for the scotch egg starter which we were told was a new item, it didn’t disappoint , unreal flavour and perfectly soft egg. Coming back again

Good food, good service really happy to see the Three Houses buzzing again.

Super home-cooked food. Lovely night out with the girls. Restaurant and bar had a great atmosphere.

Lovely meal during a catch up with friends.

Went for Sunday breakfast. We were shown to table by a guy - probably the manager, who took the lunch menus off the table - we expected to be given breakfast menus but he just wandered off. We were left there for approx 15 minutes until a lovely waitress came and asked us if we’d like to order. Obviously we couldn’t, not having seen the menu. Finally furnished with a menu, my husband ordered the full English with poached eggs and I asked for avocado and tomatoes on toast with a poached egg, only to be told that we could only have fried eggs (despite the fact eggs Benedict, Royale and Florentine were all on the menu). The waitress said she’d previously been told off for putting poached eggs on the order instead of fried. Food came out. My avocado on toast was one small slice of bread with 1/2 avocado sliced on top. No tomatoes. I asked where the tomatoes were. The waitress apologised and went to get them. She returned with a cold salad tomato, cut in half on a plate. I’ve seen better food presentation from a 5 year old. This cost £7! The full English was ok. Streaky bacon was undercooked though and sausages were poor quality catering type. All in all, the best thing about the breakfast was the 2 cups of tea. Total bill c £34. We won’t be visiting again. Abysmal at best, sorry!

Been here in previous years (before the current owner too over) and it was nowhere near to the standard it is today ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The breakfast was amazing value for money. Really high quality ingredients, the half breakfast was plenty for us ☺️ The atmosphere was really pleasant with cosy music too. Can be hard to find a nice dog friendly pub but this was amazing. Would definitely recommend to others 🐶🐶

It’s been a number of years since we had a meal here and we weren’t disappointed this time. The lady that looked after our table was Charlotte who was amiable, helpful and friendly. She helped us with questions about the food and the wine and was patient and willing to explain. The atmosphere is very different from the last time in that it’s lively, friendly and welcoming. I had the fillet steak and my wife had the gammon. Both meals were of very good quality and cooked to order. The only personal issue was that the chunky chips were served with potato skins attached. This didn’t spoil the meals but our preference would have been for the chips to be without the skins. The house wines that we chose, a Malbec for me and a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc for my wife, were both of a very good standard. A very enjoyable experience

Booked for Sunday lunch just 2 of us with our dog. Where they sat us was a bit awkward with the dog as felt she was in the way as sat in the middle, so always someone walking past us so we couldn’t relax. We ordered traditional roast dinner which was served on a small plate and I was expecting the vegetables to follow in a serving dish. But they didn’t and on looking it was just one carrot and peas that was served under the slices of meat and a Yorkshire pudding. To be honest I was a bit shocked that it was just peas and one carrot! You would expect to get more vegetables than that with a roast dinner, on a carvery you are offered at least 5 choices of vegetables. The food tasted lovely but just lacked vegetables. I hope this gets fed back to the restaurant as it’s a shame as apart from this, the venue, the waiting staff and quality of food is lovely. It’s just put us off returning for Sunday lunch.

Great choice for Sunday Lunch. Good food and great service. Our server Alex was excellent, helpful and very friendly. Could not recommend more.

Sunday lunch was tasty but not very big Service was good but our table was tiny and squeezed in where a table shouldn’t really be. Felt in the way which was a shame Nice pub but could do better

Went for Sunday lunch. The food choice was good. Service exceptional, our server Alex was very friendly and efficient.

Really cosy pub with great food, beer and service. Went for a mid week meal and enjoyed the roaring fires and great food, beer and service. Great to see a pub like this in Wakefield bringing a touch of class and quality, will definitely be back👍

A lovely public house, log fire, great food, the size of them chips maaahhhooosive, lovely tasty steak pie it was delicious, all home cooked and prepared fresh, a very good reasonable price for food and drinks will definatley return, hosts pleasant and very welcoming, with good parking at the rear and front

Reopened under new management, and what a transformation! Really looking forward to trying the food and many cosy visits in front of the fire in the run up to Christmas. Update - tried the food and it was delicious!

I am really enjoying this pub at the moment, the food is good the staff are good and the ambience was good today.

went here on a friday night after booking a table for 8pm. we live local and decided to arrive early to enjoy a drink or two first on our wedding anniversary. the bar was packed and lively with a good selection of quality drinks on offer,including my favourite real ale. we were invited to our table in the relative peace of THE RESTAURANT at 8pm and finally could converse without shouting across the table. the menu wasnt vast but i had previewed it and knew we would both find dishes to our liking throughout the 3 courses. first came homemade soup and samosas,both of which were very nice. we followed up with seabass off the specials for the wife and steak pie for myself. we were just savouring these fine plates by around 8.45pm when an announcement came over the tannoy in the bar area. "the kitchen is closed now so if any of you want to make use of the tables in the restaurant feel free to do so". we looked round and the other couple of tables of diners were paying up and leaving." that cant be right?" i said to the wife,but sure enough a couple came with their drinks and sat at the table next to us a moment later. now the layout of the restaurant meant that half the available seating (furthest away from the bar) was not in use,despite being partially screened of from the one we were seated in. surely they could have sat diners in there and used our area as overspill? anyway we finished our mains and decided to see the sweet menu. "oh,i believe the kitchen is closed now,ill have to go check" said Chloe,our lovely waitress. the time was now 9.05 pm.she returned and said the chef had agreed to make our pudding though service was finished.at this point i sent for the manager. He was no help at all and it did not sink in. All he cared about was his barfull of drinkers who couldnt find a seat. i pointed out id booked for a restaurant meal,not a bar meal but he didnt seem to place any importance on ambience as part of a dining experience. dug his heels in and seemed to think it was acceptable to empty his loud (though well behaved )bar into the area . i asked why they offered a 3 course dining experience and accepted an 8pm booking only to close the kitchen at 9. he blatantly attempted to blame Chloe saying she shouldnt have told us that. i pointed out that he had already announced it over the microphone 15 minutes previously! i was losing my patience at this point and demanded my bill,he brought it in person and offered me a 10% discount,laughable in view of the fact our anniversary meal had been ruined. i paid without further argument and tipped Chloe who had remained professional throughout. shame i cant say the same for her boss. constructive criticism was offered by ourselves for free and we were made to feel totally in the wrong. VERY disrespectful!

Had a fabulous meal this evening, the steak pie was Amazing. Staff were all brilliant especially Alex "The Yorkshiregese guy"🤣 will definitely be returning 😀

Absolutely loved the food and service today , 23rd Jan.

Had Sunday lunch we all agreed it was very tasty, but seasonal veg consisted of peas and red cabbage, no there were no other veg on the plates.

Very poor quality of Roast dinner. Everything tasted like instant or ready meal especially the gravy. The only vegetable that came with roast dinner were frozen peas or we have to add as sides. Very disappointing meal….

Beautiful cozy countryside pub vibes, log fire and comfortable seating. Delicious Sunday lunch, with the best cauliflower cheese! Reasonable prices and service with a smile!

We visited over Christmas for the second time since it had been taken over. Both visits were great, food delicious and attentive staff. Great atmosphere with a cosy fire, and super dog friendly! Lady was treated to a handful of treats and water on arrival. We can't fault either meal we have had. The first being Sunday lunch, and on our most recent visit I opted for steak and my partner had Scampi. Good portion sizes, well presented meals. Looking forward to returning and trying more meals.

Gorgeous fresh food, excellent service and good value too. We will be back! Well done guys!

Met my mum at The Three Houses as it's roughly half way for us both to travel to meet up. Food was delicious. We had the Sunday roast - 1 beef and 1 pork, followed by dessert of cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding. Very tasty. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. My baby was getting upset and I asked to move tables to a quieter area at the back. The staff moved all my items including my pushchair, which was really, really helpful! It didn't feel like I'd asked too much and they were super apologetic - They didn't need to be! We will be returning 😊 Thanks for being supportive and helping me in my early days of motherhood 😊

Was fantastic haven’t been for a while as was disappointed with recent take overs . This one was very impressive . I would go as far to say one of the best meals we have had !

Lovely meal at Three Houses Great food and friendly service Was close to Christmas but nice to have a ‘normal’ menu A vast improvement on our last visit Well done! (We will be back between 8 Jan - 8 Feb to open our envelope!)

Had Sunday lunch here today. Me and my partner both had the pie. Totally fabulous and really tasty. Took the dog and her food was amazing also. They really look after everyone. Asked us if we wanted drinks including if the dog wanted water. Lovely place, lovely staff, amazing food

Great Birthday meal had here. Food lovely, atmosphere great. 👍

Delicious steak pie and proper chips, eaten next to a roaring fire on a windy wet day! Lovely!

We booked our Christmas works party at this fantastic venue. The atmosphere was very warm and christmassey with ample room to host our fun festivities. An excellent buffet was provided, everyone said how tasty the food was and so much of it! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who assisted with requests. Can't recommend the place enough. Ideal for our event and very reasonably priced. We will be back next year!

The weekly quiz on Wednesdays are really fun

Absolutely loved our meals at The Three Houses. I’m visiting from Scotland with my dog and we came here for a meal with my aunt and cousin. The food was absolutely delicious- one of the best steak pies I’ve ever eaten! I was so pleased to see that not only is the pub dog friendly, they even have a meal on the menu for dogs too! Flash loved his dinner too and was on his best behaviour eagerly waiting for his! I would absolutely come here again next time I’m back!

Beautiful pub and very nice food but my wife who has a gluten intolerance was very disappointed because the menu says there are a few gluten free options, on ordering they returned twice saying that the only option was Risotto. The food I and my friends had was lovely but they really need to sort the menu out.

Has a lovely lunch here today either my friend. It has new management and the whole ambience is lovely. Real fires, really friendly staff, good food. Nothing was too much trouble for them to make our visit pleasant. I think they are trying to make it a really good, old fashioned pub where company and chat is paramount. Menu was smallish but something on there for everyone. I enjoyed the Brie/cranbury toasted sandwich, beautifully presented. Can't recommend this highly enough. Please go and enjoy a lovely experience

Nicest Sunday lunch I have had for a long time! Good value and good portions. The team were very friendly and welcoming. My son gave the food 10/10. Dog friendly too!

New management and staff, massive difference, the food was gorgeous and the staff are brilliant especially Alex who couldn't do enough. We'll be coming a lot more often now 👍

Each time we come. Alex is always working and make the experience, he's always checking to make sure we're alright, great guy

Beautiful food and lovely staff, our new go to local…very reasonably priced too! Thank you Alex (Portuguese gentleman :))

I'm so pleased that this place is open and under new management! The food is superb, I had sausage and mash while my girlfriend had steak and ale pie. Both were piping hot and seriously tasty. Great local to have, good luck to the new team! 😃

Not sure how this place got a bad review on service. Alex the Portuguese Yorkshire man couldn’t have been more personable. The food was well cooked and the portions very generous. If you visit, you won’t be disappointed.

Awful food - dry salmon with overcooked veg and lumpy mash (says roast potatoes on the menu). No atmosphere. Looks and feels like a place for drinking rather than eating. Will never go back.

2nd meal in a week at the 3 Houses. Amazing, properly home cooked food and affordable too. The landlord couldn’t be friendlier, checking on our meals and chatting with us. The decor may be outdated, but it’s been like this for years and it didn’t stop people flooding in previously! The pub has probably got the best array of draft lagers we have seen and there’s plenty of other spirits and soft drinks for all. It would be a shame to see this place close because people are not giving it a real whirl and are not supporting a great local pub. You can’t get food and drinks like this anywhere else.

Visited with friends for drinks one evening. Pub was empty and a few people were sat in the beer garden. Beer garden had tatty furniture and weeds everywhere. Landlord was miserable and he closed the pub at 10.30pm before we’d even finished our drinks! Not very welcoming and ruined a lovely evening out. Won’t be visiting again- sorry!

Would not recommend the food. Order 2 roasts, which were lacking in quality. The Yorkshire puddings were clearly bought in, the mashed potato had a weird taste. We also order a turkey sandwich which came out on cheap shop bought sliced bread and the children's macaroni cheese was split. This place used to be well looked after but needs a lot of TLC, bathrooms are broken, cobwebs and dust, just need a thorough clean.

We haven’t been here in ages so decided to take our Grandfather. The decor was more tired than I remember and one room was completely out of bounds as it hadn’t been tidied up from a party the previous evening (we were there at 2pm on a Sunday and were the second table in the restaurant at the time). We visited today as a family and ordered 2 starters, 2 roast dinners, a child’s pasta portion and a turkey roast sandwich. We used to love it here but it is now under new ownership and the food quality has suffered as a result. The child’s food was poor - a split cheese sauce for Mac and cheese and peas sat in water in a ramekin for £8. The roasts were of very generous proportion but unfortunately the quality was again poor in terms of ingredients. The turkey sandwich was in thin white bread and soaked in gravy so fell apart completely. I would have expected a nice thick, bread for this sort of meal. It came out as a beef sandwich so I had to send it back and ask for turkey, eventually being able to eat 1 hour after arriving at the table. With 2 beers and a Diet Coke the bill was £71 - we won’t be returning unfortunately

Steaks very poorly cook, Quality of steaks very poor for what we paid for them. Very disappointed

Called into the 3 Houses for a late lunch. The food is home made, beautifully presented and garnished. My boyfriend had the pepper steak pie and really enjoyed it. I went for the lasagne with garlic bread and side of very nice triple cooked chips. The prices are very good. People need to come here so we don't lose this fab pub/restaurant venue. We will return.

My husband and I decided to try the recently re-opened restaurant and had a really good Sunday lunch, all fresh and home made. The beef was tender and delicious, the veg cooked to perfection. The service was excellent and the staff very friendly.

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

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

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.

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!
