Good pub with good beer; handy for Westgate train station
|
Has added Timmy Taylors Landlord - was in good form on Saturday.

A well located pub near the train station as mentioned earlier. Looks amazing outside and is as good inside, loads of charm and atmosphere, and a great pint of ale. Just as a pub should be.
|
Excellent pub. John Smiths well kept and food excellent value. Well worth a visit if you're in Wakefield and conveniently sited just opposit entrance to Westgate station.

Sorry - blame the cider - that should read get down to the Catalans game a week on Tuesday. No apostrophe needed here!
Slapped hand! Dave - stop laughing!!!
PS - also been drinking Old Peculier this afternoon at the Plough at Warmthorpe - doesn't help my grammar but it's worth a visit as well.

OK - bit late but I have to say that the landlord's decision to take out the eminently drinkable Dry Blackthorn Cider and replace it with Bulmers was anathema to me. No pub in the city centre has Dry Blackthorn now (if anybody knows differently please post a message) - we appear to have drifted into Strongbowland - the blandest rubbish available. First taste refreshment my a**e!! Bulmers is slightly better but still too sweet. For anybody wanting decent cider go to Fernando's where you can get 6.0abv @ �2.75 a pint - sorry can't remember the name - still too drunk and amazed about Trinity's fightback in the last 10 minutes against Hull KR. 4th? - get the oyxgen out!! and get down to the Catalan's game a week on Tuesday

Classic Wakefield pub, hasn't changed much, even after the fire. Good value pub grub and as decent a pint of John Smiths you can get.

Very handy for Westgate station. The traditional surroundings/decor are pleasant. It gets very busy at lunchtimes - good value food, plain and simple pub grub, nothing fancy. The chips are excellent. Pity about the loud jukebox/piped music and pity about the choice of ale - John Smiths or errrr... John Smiths (fair enough, nicely kept but a very bland pint). Two or three different real ales on draught would make a big difference.

A city centre pub with a wonderful tiled facade, still advertising 'Warick Ales'from long ago.
The two front rooms have been 'opened up'into one drinking area. Low ceilinged and sumptuously decorated, complete with historic photos of old Wakefield, it has a great atmosphere. (A back room has been retained for the pool table).
Unfortunately, only John Smith's as a real ale, which was served far too cold. However, it was fresh and well pulled.
Traditional pub food is served both at lunchtime and in the evening. It looked good value.
Offers B&B. Bang opposite Westgate station.
A classic example of lovely pub, shame about the beer.

This is my local so I am obviously biased. It is one of the few pubs in Wakefield which serves the superb Dry Blackthorn cider and not the ubiquitous bland rubbish called Strongbow which poses as cider. There is music also on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday nights. Don't even think about watching foortball on a Friday when there's any rugby league on - this is a Wakefield Trinity pub which routinely hates Loiners (that's people from Leeds by the way). I am from Leeds but have been going in the pub since 1983 - I think I have been accepted by now, especially I have watched Trinity more times than I ever did Leeds Rugby! Can get a bit hectic at weekends and it's worth avoiding whenever Leeds United play Barnsley - mind you I avoid Wakefield entirely when that happens as the two sets of fans hate each other with a passion and you never know what might happen. Give the pub a try though, it's bang opposite Westgate station with excellent Cask bitter, four different lagers, Guinness and the best cider going. The tap room is full of pictures of old Wakefield which are worth a look, then try to pick the remaining buildings out uptown.
