The Singing Chocker in Wakefield

Really good food. It was my third visit and the place always ticks the boxes. Staff here are always friendly. Rachel was very attentive. I will definitely eat here again.

Rachel looked after us, made sure everything was ok, was super nice thank you.

Lovely food, service was great, definitely would return

Beautiful and fresh food. Always smart and friendly staff. Lovely meal out with my family.

Just ok nothing special but good value

We had problems with one of the steaks been really fatty but once we spoke to the staff we received a while new meal

Steak cooked perfect, excellent value and the staff are all fantastic (Emma and Paula?)

We been here a few time now food is lovely and all ways well prepared will continue to keep going was served by Emma lovely and polite thanks aging

Our father passed away recently and as someone who lives in Northern Ireland who only works here Katie has made an amazing effort for us. We visited last week and came back today to have a drink for Stan. To top it off she remembered us. Thank you Katie. He would have loved you xxx

Jess was brilliant serving drinks and Paula and Katie and Rachel hosted our works do, they did an amazing job, hats off to them putting up to ten blokes drinking

Friendly staff, friendly atmosphere, very good menu choices and prices are very competitive

Enjoyed our visit, Friendly staff, special mention regarding Emma who was very polite & helpful, will definitely visit again.

Visted last night for a meal with my mum & baby. The food was lovely, came out red hot & tasted good. Puddings were also very tasty. I must say, the best thing about this place is the staff though. All staff were chatty, friendly and approachable. Particularly Katie, who went above and beyond - she was friendly and bubbly, chatting to every table, making sure their experience was pleasant and clearing tables and tidying as soon as people left! She didn't stop and looked throughly happy throughout! My little boy was crying at the table and she helped entertain him, talking to him when she walked past, making him smile and brought him some books over to borrow. She even read one to him so we could order our food & eat without him screaming. She's a real asset to this place and we look forward to returning. She made what could have been a very stressful meal out, very good.

Been coming here for years you can't beat a steak from here wait time for food is 20-30 minutes is never over a hour toilets are usually clean and In good condition and staff are always helpful

Myself and my daughter visited the singing chocker on 14/1/25 . We had a great meal ( all hot ) . We had our grandson with us who is 10 months old . He was crying a little bit so the lovely waitress Katie came over with some books to occupy him . Nothing seemed like too much trouble for her , she was very happy , smiling and accommodating . I had a bad experience 2 years ago at singing chocker when our steaks came out literally burnt to a crisp when I asked for it med rare . We thought we’d give it another go and I’m so glad we did . Well defo be returning soon . I’ve knocked 1 point off for only having 1 bar staff behind the bar .

Been refurbished since my last visit. So much cleaner and staff more attentive.

Always pleasant! Love the food, staff are always welcoming and they all love our little dog! Definitely a favourite!!!

Sons 5th birthday family meal. Our server, Rachel was amazing. 👏 food lovely. BOGOF January offer is great.

Came here for my stepsons birthday, We also managed to take advantage of the January bogof offer. The food was amazing and Rachel our server couldn't have been more helpful.

We came for my father's 20th wedding anniversary and the food and service was brilliant. I had the steak flat bread and the steak melted in your mouth. All of the servers were happy to help with a smile on their faces even though it was extremely busy.

Christmas Day meal. Overpriced, badly cooked low quality food. I can’t fault the serving staff. They were up against it. They did well. The atmosphere for a Christmas Day wasn’t great. No Christmas atmosphere at all. It felt like a Wetherspoons on Wednesday afternoon. The food would have been acceptable if it was £10 a head. But the child’s Christmas dinner was £25. It was 5 cucumber sticks, 4 carrot sticks and a spoon of salsa to start. 5 chicken nuggets, small portion of under cooked frozen chips and a spoonful of beans. Dessert was supposed to be 2 scoops of vanilla icecream. But they apparently ran out. Even though all Xmas day food had to be pre ordered weeks in advance. So we had strawberry. It tasted terrible. Imagine a low budget supermarkets unbranded cheapest ice cream. All that. For £25. It was literally the same as any other place would be £6.99. I understand the prices will be inflated for Xmas. I just hope they used the extra to pay the staff. My steak (about 6oz rump) was just grey. Cooked too long on too low a heat. Was tough and fatty. Came with chips. That coupled with a weird offcuts of ham hock starter cost £50. Ow and the cheap ice cream too. One of the desserts was actually nice. It was obviously pre made bought it. The Xmas dinner option was turkey with trimmings. In fairness this was a huge plateful and was mediocre. So that a plus. Only the pigs in blankets were terrible. Grey skinny sausage wrapped in undercooked pink fatty bacon. Nothing about any of the food felt Christmasy or special. Apart from the price. 3 adults and 1 child ate from the Xmas menu plus 3 drinks. Total was just short of £200. I knew the price upfront. Was happy enough. Paying a premium for the day. I just expected a good meal. I did not complain on the day. I did not think it would be fair on the service staff. They were not at fault and really did not need the hassle.

Me and my partner came in for some lunch on Monday afternoon and the service was fantastic, I couldn’t have asked for anything more from the staff (especially Emma). The food was also lovely and reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning.

Kids meal chicken fillet was really hard and dry.. They did replace it... and why can't you just get half a rack of ribs. It's a menu to keep your kids hungry and craving for sugar and encourage adults to over spend and eat more with no option for a smaller rib portion.

Had a lovely time even on a quieter day! Good and service were wonderful, and Paula was an absolute delight, made sure we were well looked-afte. Would recommend to anyone!

Order 2 BBQ stacks burgers smallest bit of beef on them meant to be brisket burnt ends but was slow cooked beef bacon was missing brought it out separately kids stake was pure rare order medium rare fish chips was like was frozen microwave up. Food was like it bought from Iceland was cheap nasty. I use to come last year all time was banging last year food amazing. In my eyes gone down hill.

Friendly staff. Quick service. Tasty hot food

Lovely family meal, service was great and we were not rushed at all letting us have a catch up as from various parts of the country

Went with me lads for me 41st birthday will go again excellent in every way. Just been for Christmas meal and still excellent service and food

Lovely food for 10 people. Served by Emma. Would recommend

I go regularly inexpensive nice food.

Rachel strikes again.festive cheer along with the assistant manager!

Good food, nice friendly staff, Value for money

We came for breakfast, we didn’t realise it was breakfast with Santa and they were fully booked but the team were able to find us a table straight away. All the staff were friendly and accommodating!

Came early today for a breakfast as we didn't know if it did breakfasts or not. It was santa day and we had not booked but the staff made us feel welcome and cooked us a 5 star Breakfast Lovely staff and lovely food, thank you for welcoming us. Ps you should open for breakfasts as it was lovely and better than the Harvester

Exceptional service!!! What a lovely place this has turned in to. Not been for years but the new style really suits and the menu is lovely plus offers. Well worth a visit. Booked for groups in for two more visits.

Very nice place staff really nice

As always the staff were very friendly and welcoming, prompt and efficient. The food and drinks were everything anyone could reasonably want, and all at a very fair price.

A large group of us met for our Christmas party at the Singing Chocker, Castleford. We had a fab evening! Lovely atmosphere, food was excellent (I had steak which was cooked perfectly) but a special shout out to Andy & Paula who looked after us and served us cheerfully all through the evening.

Excellent service from Andy & Paula and lovely atmosphere. Food is good value for money. The Christmas food was well presented. I opted for my usual Lasagne which was a little dry on this occasion but serving 30+ people at once is no easy feat . Would definitely visit again .

Had a boneless chicken starter followed by the cheesy bbq stack burger. Very prompt and piping hot. Excellent quality for the money, fantastic service from Emma. All highly recommended 👌

Love this place come again one staff very friendly 😀 xx

Good experience, thanks Emma but the beer is a fortune £6.15 for Peroni. We’d normally buy two pints but not at that price in this location

Absolutely lovely food as always, excellent customer service from a lovely lady called Kerry, went above and beyond to make sure our meal was perfect thank you ever so much 🫶🏽

Kerry and the team gave us a great experience today Kerry went above and beyond her duties to make my family from Scotland more than welcome well done from the beer mat team

The food was very much as you would expect in these places. I had a pint of Coors which cost £4.90, which is very expensive. However my wife had 1\2 of lemonade which cost a staggering £3.85.

Great service, lovely food, good value and accept blue light card also. Been done up since we visited last time as well, will be coming again after shopping at the outlet again!

Another Green King venue visited. The venue operates a vehicle registration system on entry (saves getting a penalty charge notice), and it was fairly busy. Service was quick and friendly and waited around 15 minutes for the food. The venue was lively, mostly with families and a party or two. Big screens everywhere you look, so if you're a sports fan, then you're not likely to miss much! One bonus is you can talk without shouting across the table, so for me, the background noise of others chatting was great. If there was any music, I don't recall hearing it! 10/10 I had the mixed grill, and my partner had the gammon. Meals were hot and tasty. My only grumble was that the steak cut looked a little odd and was difficult to chew and cut, only managed just over half, the stringy pieces I left on the plate.. even using a steak knife it was tough going. Finally, the battered onion ring wasn't crispy... battered onion rings have to havecthat crunch.. no crunch. 8/10 Would I go again? Yes, but not for a mixed grill. I love my steak, and I was a little disappointed I couldn't leave an empty plate.

Lovely evening, great menu and good food

This was the most memorable night for me as it was my 80th birthday we all had the best welcome from the staff.

Lovely staff,lovely food,place was packed so obviously doing something right ,special mention to Paula lovely lady xx

Food is always great. Good value. Prompt and happy service, Sue was great

Rachel was really friendly & helpful

Called in tonight just for a change, never been before but we will definitely be back! Burgers were BOGOF and absolutely delicious!

Always fab, great value and lovely staff

We went to the singing chocker for lunch as a family, the food is very reasonably priced and is very good. The staff are very efficient and look after their customers very well. The menu is pretty much traditional with all the usual favourites, but the ice cream is vegan and is quite frankly horrible. I do not disagree with having a vegan option for anything, but real ice cream should be the first choice on the menu. We will definitely visit the singing chocker again but the menu needs amendment.

Rachel friendly and down to earth.proper cas lass! Quick and tasty food.chilled vibe.turn heating down and save your pennies!

Not bad feel sorry for the landlady's other half though, she's a tyrant. All joking aside, good boozer, good food, good crack. Taken the kids in and they are great. Lovely spot.

Fantastic meal in a really cozy and friendly pub. I highly recommend the Singing Chocker.

Lamb Kofta Flatbread was particularly good. Clean facilities and prompt service.

Sue who served us at our table was fantastic. Really attentive and couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you Sue. The service at the bar however wasn’t the best. Long waits and staff stood round looking like they didn’t know what to do

I was away with work so looking for a pub walking distance to my hotel. Popped in for the football and I was not disappointed. They serve a decent pint of Guinness and had plenty of screens showing both the games that were on. I did not eat so can’t comment on the food. The staff we friendly.

We don't like the oven chips the chips were rock hard. The fish was over cooked and the bread just fell to pieces and it was Luke warm meal . They offered us another meal but we was put off with the meal. And they offered us a pudding but we didn't want a microwave pudding.

Visited the Singing Chocker on a Friday night, In spite of being Busy Paula went to trouble of finding us a table that suited us. We ordered food and drink at bar and didn't have to wait too long before meals arrived. We were waited on by Kerry who got everything right ,made sure we had correct cutlery and sauces napkins etc. Food was good and Kerry called back to see if it was to our liking. The place is bright with good staff and Atmosphere. We visit quite often and have booked for Christmas day Thank you Paula and Kerry for good experience See you soon Mike Brown

Never been seems good. Always lively

Friendly service, efficient, and good quality food. Thank you to Kerry for your fantastic service!

Gorgeous meal friendly staff would highly recommend 👌

Had two mixed grills ,both steaks cooked how we liked them ,all very nice

Had a lovely meal. A typical generic menu but nicely prepared cooked and presented..no complaints😊 The serving saff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble, attentive and accomodating. The staff seemed happy a good sign🤣 Portion sizes were good.. although wasnt too keen on the coleslaw bit vinegary.. needs more mayo...or different providers. All in all a nice meal for my sons Birthday..weldone 👍🏻🤩 Mond 21st Oct 6.30pm

7hr cooked ribs were cold! We were there for the first and last time.

Sunday dinner consisted of....Cold food, frozen soggy broccoli & half of it missing, & when checking the receipt before paying, it was charged wrong & thank goodness I checked first or we would've had further issues on rectifying the bill 1 star for the food, as my partner had the rib beef which he said was really nice, but nothing else on his plate was & Thanks for hot gravy though, as we were hungry & wanted to eat... The 2 stars are for the staff who were very nice & helpful But, Won't be eating there again Disappointed to say the least But it's just pub grub at the end of the day

Lovely food, piping hot - just a few kids running around under the feet of the staff.

6 people eating + 5 drinks for £81. And it was lush.

Great food and awesome portions. My kids actually went for rather large meals and I expected lots to be left over... was surprised at clean plates all round.

Friendly staff. Food good. Clean surroundings. Excellent value for money.

Easy location with good food and very welcoming staff. Would recommend the Singing Chocker to others

Absolutely spot food was great service even better.

2 years after this review, I'm still coming, still nice food and still nice staff

was our 1st time coming here,was very pleased with our food,will definitely be coming back 🙂

Lovely meal, some bits could have been a bit warmer. Didn't spoil it though.

Had a great server called sue. Couldn't ask for anyone better, we had gone out for my nephews birthday and she made it extra special for him by bringing out the desert with a candle and singing happy birthday to him. Made his night and ours. We hope everyone else can get a server as good as ours was absolutely amazing.

Me ans Dad came for tea tonight 8th October. Had 2 steak pies. Sue made sure we were qwll looked after and actually all the team qwre super friendly. Lovely pub qith lovely atmosphere and great food.

Nice clean pub.... Good food...

Great dog friendly venue, amazing staff, always a nice atmosphere. Food is great value too.

We come nearly every week & can’t fault the value for money, even better if you go for steak day or BOGOF burger day. Friendly staff too! The steaks are great & cooked to perfection every time i’ve been (alot)

Spur of the minute decision for a late lunch. Good food, reasonable price, good choice of menu. Relaxing atmosphere.

I visit fairly regurily and I'm always greeted by friendly, polite staff. The team are great and always provide top-notch service and add to the atmosphere!

Fantastic staff so lovely and welcoming and food is lovely

Amazing service, severed by Emma, she was very friendly and welcoming. Food was gorgeous, wasn't a long wait and was hot when it came out. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely food, amazing service. Great place. Served by the lovely Emma, very friendly and helpful

Great place for a less formal but hearty meal. Food is ok, but it's the hard working staff that really makes the difference. Especially Emma who simply couldn't be any nicer or more helpful.

Had a burger today at the chocker, we were impressed to say the least. We were served by a lovely lady called Emma, very courteous and friendly. We will be returning ☺️ thank you

Great place to eat with the dogs. Delicious food and friendly staff especially Emma our waitress for the day. Made us feel very welcome

Value for Money Grub. Got brilliant service. Thank you Sue.
