It's often very light which makes it feel less cosy than I would like, but it's a nice enough pub, serving good food and ales. They often have pub quizzes, etc. which are fun. At New Year, it is Ackworth Tradition to go out in Fancy Dress, so the Angel becomes a great fun place to go, with people in their many costumes, and there always seems to be very little 'trouble'

When asked to portray a typical Yorkshire pub, most people would describe a traditionally decorated…read moreroom, full of local middle-aged men drinking cask ales and eating pork scratchings. I can gladly say that this pub is not a stereotypical Yorkshire drinking-hole. At least not in the main room, that's what the tap room is for.. The entertainment mainly consists of live music (in the form of both professional singers and themed karaoke nights) and quiz nights, quiz nights with a twist.. If you are fortunate enough to win, the prize is pretty unconventional- a barrel of beer! Friday nights are owned by the younger generation, who regularly attend to show their hidden talents on the microphone... Some are certainly better than others! But all are recieved with a round of applause, mainly because the unfortunate singers are just as entertaining. The atmosphere is undeniably contagious, as even I have ventured in to the world of karaoke, and am pleased to admit that it wasn't at all nerve-wracking. Just pure guilty pleasure! The beer is cheap and the people are friendly. Definite value for money.

A real pub consisting of small interlocking rooms with panelled walls, stone slab flooring and white washed plaster, the Kings Arms oozes traditional authenticity and character, flooding the senses and imagination with histories of harder times and the imagined stories of the occupants and visitors. The wood panelling is obviously edwardian or maybe even earlier with church-pew-like seating of genuine old hard dark woods and cabinets and chests. The beers on offer are standard fare alongside real-ale offerings from Clarkes Brewery - a small independent brewery based in Wakefield. Food is of a high, gourmet english/french quality with moderate to high prices for a more 'select' clientelle. Full of character and worth a look.

I think you have to live in a city to truly seek out the best it has to offer, unless you're fantastically lucky on your constitutionals, and this place is not exactly somewhere you'd stumble upon along the standard routes through town. It's situated on a little back street, which at first glance might appear to be leading no where, but my goodness it leads somewhere. This fantastic little micro-brewery-cum-pub is an excellent venue for ale drinkers, musicians and deliberating scholars alike. I used to frequent this place as a young undergraduate with my musical companions, often with guitars in tow for an impromptu session. I distinctly remember polishing off many a half of their Moonshine, a flat pale cider if memory serves, and promptly setting off into the night merry as Christmas. That stuff was lethal! But nonetheless an excellent way to kick off the night. Although the pub catered to the CAMRA drinkers among us, it had plenty of other options, although seldom drank by myself - it was real ale or orange juice all the way, and the orange juice rarely got a look in! The décor is lovely; rustic pub paraphenalia adorns the space. The staff were always accommodating, in spite of the pandemic of us student-types flocking in each term and over all I couldn't fault this diamond in the rough.

Owned by Ossett Brewery, the building which was formerly a malthouse is down a bit of a dingy alley and behind a row of small shops off Kirkgate but it's definitely worth overcoming your preconceptions and heading inside. There's a brewery in the basement, continental Bier keller on the first floor and brewery tap on the second floor, complete with high vaulted ceilings and impressive bar with 11 hand pumps. To me it looked like a cross between a saloon and the backstage of a theatre with its rescued pub signs and unusual breweriana. We loved it all. It's a comfortable, homely space to have some drinks - and it's dog-friendly. The hospitableness of the young barman with his impressive handlebar moustache just added to our enjoyment; if we didn't have to head back home we'd have easily stayed until they closed. A local gem.
