Superb meal, added bonus we got the early bird which is a bargain. Amazing steak and the rhubarb and ginger sponge is beautiful.



always a pleasure visiting...can't wait to go back.

Only just left the place! Definitely the best fillet steak I've ever had in my entire life I don't think anywhere else compares & definitely will return, also had the salmon, prawn & cod fish cakes to start which were beautiful! Friendly staff and great atmosphere, would rate 100 stars if I could!!!! Thanks for a lovely evening :)

User

Love the cow shed . Seem to have had a change over of waiters waitresses who were friendly attentative and fun . Food was scrumptious as ever I had the mushroom soup breaded chicken duphenaise potatoes and sticky caramel pudding .. Probabablt put on a stone in weight but worth every mouthful ....only one suggestion maybe offer a complementary shot at the end of meal xxxx

Had a stunning Lunch meal here today to celebrate my friends Birthday!

Both had steak, cooked to perfection and so delicious. Had the Lemon Tart to finish just stunning.

Staff are so lovely every time I have visited, very polite and never rush you to go.

Great Place, Delicious food, Great Staff what more could you want from a restaurant. My opinion best in Wakefield.

Thank you for making it a wonderful visit.

It was very good, nine of us for my granddaughters birthday, we all had a lovely meal.and service was good

User

Very charming staff and menu extensive and interesting. I like to treat myself to a steak now and then. So I ordered a ribeye steak medium. It was cooked medium however quite tough and not much flavour. Over the years I know my steaks quite well and to be honest my steak did look like a rump steak! This is why three stars was awarded. My husband ordered cod and he said it was lovely. So it is worth another visit hopefully, if I order the steak I might get the one I requested.

User

Meal was .....ok.. not for the price though. Steaks were at the very least "small" for what you're being charged. If you're charging £24 for a steak, it should be at least comparable with the restaurants in Leeds where the quantity and quality deserve that tag. Two hours for the visit for a main meal only is not great either! Bear in mind we are talking a Wednesday night and not overly busy. Nothing really wrong with the meal, but would I go back?.... possibly not I'm afraid. Sorry.
