Yes its a Wetherspoon pub. In any other town in England this wouldn't be at all interesting but in…read morePontefract its big news. As far as Wetherspoon pubs go its not a bad one, reasonably cozy atmosphere rather the sterile atmosphere you get at some. With regard to food, drink, and prices; they're exactly as you'd expect. Good beer, very cheap, standard chain-pub food (read "not very good"), again, very cheap. Far too busy on a Friday or Saturday night but if you fancy a cheap quiet drink on a weekday it beats the pants off everywhere else in Pontefract.

This is even below Golden Coral. The steak was dry and only three Scotch Whiskies available.read more

Friendliest pub in WY. Possibly friendliest in the whole of Yorkshire…read more Donna and John make you welcome from the moment you arrive. They're quick with your order but quicker with a smile. Donna and John can make anything -- and make it well. Polly is a mixology genius and artiste. -- ask Polly to make you her special chocolate caramel shooter. The building is older and next to a plant, so, it's not the shiniest coin; however, it's in good repair. The parking area is a little small. The bar main area is large, clean, in good repair, and well lit. The chairs and stools are comfortable. Three large screen TVs play sport or MTV Classic almost constantly. There at least two overflow rooms and an outside beer garden. The overflow rooms are clean. There are games in the main and north rooms. The bar itself is clean and adorned with sport memorabilia. They have a good selection of draft and bottled beers, and spirits. They have a small selection of bar snacks. There's no hot food, but they are exceptionally willing to help you choose a takeaway and order for you. Taxi service was fast. The clientele are phenomenal. They welcome strangers and embrace them as friends. Go on Castleford Rugby night and have the time of your life!

This is unacceptable. Was served a burger that resembled Gandhi's flip flop and the waitress somehow managed to change appearance halfway through the meal, it's like a mystery!!

Almost exactly a year ago the family celebrated a birthday at Bella Italia at a different location…read moreso when we were deciding where to go for this year's birthday feast the choice seemed obvious..... OH DEAR! How can i even begin to catalogue our disappointment? I can but try. Perhaps i should start by observing that if a restaurant is going to have it's kitchen on view then it needs to make sure those working in the kitchen are maintaining a good standard of hygiene. Half my group were facing the kitchen and soon got heartily tired of watching one of the chefs repeatedly wiping his nose on the back of his hand whilst serving food.. Service was incredibly slow and, although this was apologised for (and a complimentary drink given) I don't accept been busy as a valid excuse because a restaurant should have sufficient staff and resources for the number of settings it has. When our food arrived several of the dishes were cold had had to be sent back to be re-heated (not good with pasta). One dish arrived with the wrong sauce and the child's pizza was more poppadom in it's consistency and would have lost out in a fair fight with a supermarket basic pizza. My own chosen meal of Calzone Carne was a disappointment even though it was one of the minority of meals served to us that wasn't suffering from a major fault. Bella Italia is one of those places that add a service charge to the bill but we knew this and deducted the charge. It took them a while to get the bill right as they originally seemed intent on over charging us by approx £50.

Lovely place and the staff are friendly, very good gin on the menu, will definitely be back to try…read morethe food, with family
