Bridge Inn in Wakefield

We called in,( Mum, Dad, that's me, our son and his girlfriend), to take advantage of a discount on mains offer. And we weren't disappointed. Good food, well priced, and the ladies who served us were really pleasant, thankyou. Only one minor thing that rankled, was the price of my beer. £6.40. Whaaaaat. Would I go again, yes. Would I recommend others, also yes. 😃👍🍺

Good food and drinks, kind and helpful staff. Nice environment.

Nice food, good price, friendly staff

We came for food with friends and it was great. Good atmosphere and good food and service. It was also quiz night so we stayed and that was really fun, will have to come back and try and win their next one.

Very friendly staff and gorgeous food

We had Christmas lunch on Christmas Day as a party of five, we had booked and were quickly seated, starters came out quite quickly. We waited an hour for mains and when they came out the food was just luke warm. We did nt complain as it was busy and a few tables were already unhappy. That evening nearly all of us were unwell. I have been in contact with the bridge inn to inform them and despite being told I knew others were poorly and also seeing someone else’s review about not being well after Christmas lunch I thought I’d post on here. They ve completed a full investigation I’m told and have said it was only our party that has complained. Obviously not according to the previous review. Our table spent £355 pound including extras to be poorly all night Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Never again .

We went to the Bridge Inn for a fun meal out to start the new year. The children had never done a pub quiz before but the quiz host made it so welcoming and enjoyable that they are very keen to do another. The staff were friendly, the food was delicious and there were great vegan options. Overall a 10 out of 10 experience - would recommend to all!

Lovely food, friendly attentive staff, we were served by Tyla who was lovely. Would recommend 👌

Lack of staff, extended wait times meant we didn't have time for dessert after been there 2 1/2 hours, pre ordered food was not available, quality of food was poor.

Very clean with a lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff make you feel very welcome. Lovely pub food. Although our order wasn't right. It was swiftly corrected. We had a very enjoyable meal, lasagne and steak in ale pie. Large bar and variety of drinks. Separate bar area if not eating. Pool table available for those who prefer a drink on the side. Sky sports for the sports fans. Fantastic outdoor beer garden with views over the canal.

Food delivery was slow and meals were served individually so out of the 8 the last person probably waited an additional 15 min for food. The food was barely warm-some was cold and was average at best. Chicken wrap almost £15 for 3 tiny pieces of chicken. Won’t be returning

Place was dead, never rate a place a 1! Didn’t have food but pint was the pits, me in the car park playing with remote control cars. Will try again this month, as hate leaving a 1 star

Me and my family went to the bridge inn for our Christmas dinner and it was an absolute shambles. We waited 30 minutes until being seated even though we had booked for 3.15 and arrived 5 minutes early. The starters came out quite quickly however we then went onto wait another 1 hour and 30 mins for our main after we had complained. The main was on the cold side and was tasteless. 3 of my family members have now got food poisoning and all we ate was this food and some chocolate. If I could give zero stars I would. Won’t be returning.

Food was great. The staff were amazing Thankyou

Terrible service for our xmas meal. Arrived on time and was told had to wait another 30 minutes for the other table to finish their food which I understand cannot be helped however we was told that they leave a 30 minute difference between the next tables to allow for cleaning down however this clearly had not happened. Starters came out within 10 minutes which was great but did then take another hour and half for our main after we had to complain about the fact it was taking so long. When food arrived, it was luke-warm with some people missing veg from the xmas meal and also yorkshire puddings to also add, the bar manager provided a terrible service. He had no bottle to speak to us and kept sending bar staff to deal with us which I found very unfair with it not being their responsibility! We had to beg for a refund as we did not even have our pudding after the shambles we had already had occur. Just to also add, whilst we was complaining, another gentleman who had booked for xmas dinner had been waiting 4 hours and had been told they ‘forgot’ about his table and instead of a refund they offered him a gift voucher to come back.

Our visit was a really lovely start to our Christmas day. There was 9 of us and we stayed for drinks. It was a great atmosphere and the staff were friendly. Service was quick even though it was quite busy.

The meal was pre ordered 5 weeks in advance, we received a call the Friday before to advise the beef hadn't arrived in and we needed to have chicken or turkey. I advised them that chicken would be fine for everyone. On the day everyone was presented with turkey. Which wasn't what we ordered and it was really dry and not nice. The bill was then paid by one of the 24 people and the £100 deposits hadn't been removed from the bill. If I hadn't have checked we would have lost the £100. The meal itself was terrible and no one ate a full plate of food. The staff are helpful however the bar manager is extremely rude and I wouldn't recommend ever speaking to a customer like he spoke to us especially after spending all afternoon in that pub. We will never return for food

Poor food over cooked and sides missed off. Ignored when tied to alert staff to the issue.

We were served by Tyla. She took great care to ensure that the order was accurate and arranged for an alternative because of my allergy to peppers. A good experience for all of us.

£6.50 for 2 halves a coke 😭. Food lovely, service good just the price of drinks

Had the Festive menu. The food and service was superb. Thanks to Amy, Xander, Noah and Luke.

come in all the time for pool Mondays always amazing staff such as Ben and Bella and Leighton too, great pizzas for the pizza and a drink deal aswell really delicious 100% recommend

We were a late booking of 12 due to a power outage at another venue. We were welcomed in and treated very well by Amy and Shelley. I had a surf and turf. The steak was cooked by Xander and was spot on. Thanks to all for making it a festive evening. We are planning to come again in the near future.

Amy is the best worker ever always happy to come in when she’s working, treats the customers with such kindness

6 friends meeting for a meal. The starter 5 of us wanted did not show on the QR code ordering system. When we questioned why, we were told the item wasn't available. But, our order was then taken at the table by the staff member. This was a lovely touch as we are aware this is not a table service pub. From that point on, all food and drinks orders were taken at the table. All meals were cooked and presented well and good size portions. The steak was slightly overdone but I still enjoyed it.

Had a great festive meal! Thanks to Amy, Xander, Noah and Luke!

Been today for Christmas lunch with homestart. Lovely food. Happy friendly staff. Couldn't fault

Good food, quick service and a friendly atmosphere. Enjoyed our meal, and will definitely come back.

Great food, great atmosphere lovely friendly staff.

Verry skibidi place ❤️ shanney an Emma we’re verry nice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

We held a stall at the Christmas Market here. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Food and drinks were lovely. The bar and surroundings are beautiful. Would definitely recommend.

Had the Christmas meal last night which was delicious but there was far too much for me. Worth the money. The staff were very attentive. It would be nice to have a separate eating area than where there’s groups of lads being roudy.

Great place always friendly loads of room. Best place I goto play poker. No nonsense and better than Weatherspoons for food. Shelly is great ay chatting and making everyone feel welcome

Love the atmosphere and the staff, Shelly was a great bar staff member. Highly recommend

Shelley was marvellous, friendly and helpful service along with lovely food.

Shelly was really nice and helpful

Very friendly staff. Shelley was amazing. Cheap lunch menu! Good value for money

Great venue, warm welcome from all staff. Great food, at good prices. Always clean, and tables stocked with condiments.

Food was delicious, clear plates all round Thank you for great service from Freya and the team

We had a server named Freya, she was fantastic. Very attentive and friendly. She made sure we had everything we needed and was always around if we had any questions. Very impressed!

Great place family friendly. Pool table, darts. Freya was very attentive and looked after the needs required with food etc. The bar staff were great too.

Nice and cozy Amazing service from freya

Bella and Amy were superb today! Really welcoming and interacting with the kids. They then did some crafting of Xmas decorations which killed time prior to eating. A lovely lunchtime thank you!

A nice warm and cosy atmosphere with friendly staff good food what more do you need x

Great food,great open mic night, staff who were super attentive! Great pub!

Good food and good service. Potions basic. Used the table code, not a fan due to personal preferences. Staff great though

Excellent food and service.Nice decor.

Came in Friday night for a meal. Shelley was on and her service was amazing. Food great.thanks nicole, who cooked my pizza:)

Amazing food and excellent service from Shelley. We will be back

Love this place always get a warm welcome and staff are lovely, especially Tyla ,can't do enough for you and is so friendly and helpful , we come here often food is lovely too never had a bad meal

brilliant food made by chef luke!!. Amazing place. Definitely will be going back again!!

I recently visited here with family the food was delicious and the staff were all friendly especially a lady called Shelly her customer service was second to none and went above and beyond to accommodate us. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

Great afternoon here with friends. The staff were great giving excellent service. Ellie-Mae really stood out looking after us. Nothing was too much trouble. Food was as nice too.

Good place to go for sone food and a drink

I had a great time and Ben was amazing and very helpful with the customers. Very refreshing to see staff care about their jobs and put so much effort in.

Great pint great atmosphere ben was amazing and made us feel welcome

Had a brief visit not so long ago as I was passing through on my way back from work. Let’s just say the beer and service is so pleasant I’ll be telling the wife I’ll be “working overtime” most nights from now on!

Lovely venue, staff were very kind and welcoming, made for a very nice atmosphere one of the staff Ben was also very kind and accommodating was good to me and my friends.

Lovely atmosphere. Bar staff are really friendly. Leighton was super attentive! Even better in the summer.

Lovely place to have a drink outside, right by the canal and the service is great. Our favourite server is Ben who is always quick to look after us.

Blown away by the level of service I received today at the Bridge Inn. Shelley went above and beyond to help me navigate the menu when faced with a lack of availability of the mixed grill. Thank you Shelley. You are a star. Cowboy burger was an excellent recommendation and you truly saved the day. I’ll be back again soon.

Friendly informative bar staff. Lovely food with a great atmosphere Leighton

I go here for a drink on a night and it’s always friendly just what you need after a long day. Pints are always cold and refreshing and Ben who’s normally behind the bar is a good laugh.

The food and service was lovely definitely be going back

Called in on our way to watch wakefield trinity ,great atmosphere but I think they underestimated how many people would be there as a lack of staff caused quite a long delay in being served but nice pub all in all

Really nice friendly place to stop while cruising on a narrowboat, Moored up outside and had food and drink which was really good

Bar staff were all incredibly friendly and polite. Food order was a little slow coming out but maybe due to large group just before us. Staff asked how our meal was and were very helpful when I spilt my drink. Also heard the manager deal very politely and correctly with a ridiculous complaint from another group of visitors . .

I booked a table for 9 for Sunday lunch 6 weeks ago so imagine my disappointment when we arrived yesterday to find the Sunday menu wasn't available and hadn't been for weeks. Why on earth wasn't I informed about this? This information wasn't on your website or your Facebook or your Instagram. Having booked a table I would have expected an email to let me know Sunday lunch wasn't available. Obviously booking for 1pm on a Sunday we were expecting the Sunday lunch menu that is shown on the website. The manager on duty apologised but this is not good enough, I would have liked to be offered a free drink or dessert to make up for it. I will not be recommending The Bridge Inn to anybody and we will not be returning.

Amy and Bella were amazing had great customer service

Lovely place. Staff really friendly and food great!

Not been in for a while so popped in yesterday. We were really impressed. I think there’s been a manager change? as all the staff were really attentive and helpful. The food was really tasty and good vfm. Even found room for dessert. We won’t leave it long to visit again. Can recommend.

A lovely place, food can be hit and miss but ok for price. Sometimes service slow even when not busy. Particularly like sitting out by the canal in good weather. Very spacious and easy free parking

Delicious food, reasonably priced, and staff very polite and helpful. Shelly was very professional.

I had space and privacy to visit with colleagues. Coffee and food delivered to my table with care and courtesy. Shelley (I believe her names was) could not have made us feel more welcome.

Food/ drink were expensive. Food was not a good standard. Lasagne was very small bowl, 1 layer of lasagne, rest was meat sauce with cheese on the top. Salad consisted of lettuce and onions. No dressing. Partner had the smallest piece of chicken wrapped in bacon, with about 29 chips, salad consisting of lettuce and onions, no dressing, adked for dressing brought enough for 1 person. When we went to the bar to place the order, as we had signed up and received a 30 % off voucher, staff did not know what we were talking about !! Took me to show them online and the voucher I had received!!!

Shelly made our stay pleasant very welcoming,

We come monday evenings and its great to have a chat with the staff, its become a weekly thing, bella i think shes called always looks after us. We look forward to it each week.

We took our family out to celebrate our Grandson’s Birthday . Shelley was our server throughout the afternoon. She was V. Good . Looked after us all . Helped with Drinks and food menus, managed to help make a fuss of the birthday boy . Thanks Shelley

We went in afew weeks ago and it was amazing however today when we went in for lunch we were told the 3 meals that we ordered were not available. Staff were apologetic. Can’t comment on the food.

Been in here numerous times , always friendly staff, great food and great service 👍

I attend every week to play poker, the service is always great, bar staff are brilliant especially Shelley.&amy Tonight I had the cowboy burger which was really tasty thanks to Nicole in the kitchen

Great service by Shelley. I have been coming here for a number of years and every time food, atmosphere and service has been great. Family came to visit and first time brought dog with us, staff were very attentive.

Sadly, another disappointing meal at The Bridge Inn. This place used to be fantastic, but over the past year, it’s really gone downhill. Our last five visits have left us frustrated—either waiting far too long for our food, even on quiet days, or receiving inconsistent versions of the same dish. As you can see from the attached photo, the pepperoni pizza was a letdown: it was mostly tomato sauce with barely any cheese, and what was there looked off. Definitely not what it used to be. Regrettably, we won’t be returning.

Forgot to write a review a few weeks back but just found the card , Shelly was very helpful , attentive and delivered customer centred care to me & Jemaine who I support. Thankyou so much Shelly , what a lovely caring person you are 💖

Very welcoming and friendly Shelley was very helpful and a right laugh

Leighton is one of staff here he recommended a delicious pizza. Sound friendly lad and good place to go for a beer

This has become our regular for date nights/days. The staff are lovely and food is beaut! Amazing atmosphere. Leighton is one of staff and provided quality service! Definitely recommend coming here! :)

Shelley is such a lovely bar staff member, and the pub has a great atmosphere. We love it xx

Waited an hour for food and when it came it was wrong

Does exactly what it says on the tin and fantastic service from Shelly whilst my girls and I sheltered from the rain for lunch. She was fantastic with my 2 daughters and went out her way to make sure we had a great time.

Came for lunch before the rugby shelley was very polite and helpful thank you

Food was cold, food order was wrong and Sunday food uncooked

Hosted my daughter 4th bday meal here staff was really supportive and helped with any question and query’s, defo recommend if u want a family get together

Brilliant place, staff super friendly and beautiful setting. Thanks to Ellie for looking after us so well 😁

We had my daughters 4th birthday meal here, booked/reserved our table for 22. The staffs service was amazing and helpful. We came in with a preorder of food/drinks to give the chefs and bar staff an idea of what we was getting. They were very patient and just amazing all the way through. Food and drinks were good. But honestly can’t stop praising the staff. Although they had been busy still managed to find the time to talk and have conversations with us and they even played a happy birthday song as we was going round with the cake for her. Definitely booking here again next year for her 5th birthday

Thought it was very good. If you like sport or want a quite corner it has both . Guinness was good I was surprised sure I was charged more for first pint £5:50. 2 one £5 :15. I should have challenged this . Food menus looked ok possibly average price now . Ok for dog walkers you can sit out looking at river . Good outdoor area .

Shelly behind the bar is amazing! So good desrves a raise

Shelley was absolutely amazing behind the bar, exceptional customer service and all around a lovely personality and face to walk in to when having a drink !!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic place, staff are friendly and helpful. We were served by Shelley, and she couldn't do enough for us. Will definitely recommend and be back 🙂

This is a nice pub, nice location. Staff are really helpful and friendly. Shame about the food, it looks nice but it's just awful
