The best restaurants in Wakefield Yorkshire and The Humber

Lovely Food Lovely Polite Staff as Always we will be back

Food hot and freshly cooked, always a pleasure to go.

Best place around castleford/knottingley/pontefract. They have a good food hygiene rating on the standards site. It was easy to order (great for those socially anxious), just note the table no. and order at the bar, took 2 minutes. Staff are accessible, friendly and easy to talk to. The pricing is really good, two drinks, two meals and a starter was around £36. Food portions are good, thick beef burger patties. The quality of the food was super tasty and satisfying. Chicken burger was smoky and it wasn't dry. The beef burger was soft and tasty. Definitely a new favourite spot, just watch out for food serving times, these can be checked on website. Only thing to note is that it was busy (justifiably) so it can be loud. Parking is available.

Perfect as always !! would highly recommended

Didn't have food but they did have a buffet and dj on nye really great night

Food and services was really good

beautiful and excellent quality 👌

Absolutely awful - lukewarm- fish falling apart in batter that was falling apart on one side & hard on other - scrappy chips worst fish & chips I've ever had

Rice and bhajis were fine, but the chicken tikka masala was absolutely tasteless! Terrible curry’s just wouldn’t recommend, when I phoned they said they wanted me to send it back already plated up? Just weren’t willing to do anything about it, Would not recommend, Not worth the money, tastes vile

Great location, good food and drink but the no children after 9pm policy just kills it for us particularly when visiting with other families enjoying food. Having to leave the premises in the summer months while sat outside with teenagers as a family is poor.

Usually have an amazing experience here . Today my cheesecake was completely frozen 🙁

A large group booked weeks in advance and all meals preordered. The atmosphere was nonexistent, it was cold and the service was slow. The food, when it finally arrived, was mostly cold. Several orders were sent back and were simply microwaved (we heard the door open/close) and returned. Dreadful - avoid!

Great, home cooked food 😋 special teas 🍵 and coffees ☕️ it has a toilet 🚻 but upstairs so not easy for disabled people, parking close , highly recommended.

One straw for two shakes ! Bag of chips ripped open and chips in carrier bag! Food was nice but more care needed

My experience with The Hide was somewhat of a mixed bag. Let me explain. My partner and I decided to go here for our anniversary - we are both big steak fans and wanted to try something new. Upon arriving, the restaurant was very quiet - for a Tuesday I expect this and it served us well. The lady who served us was nice, if a little clueless about what they did/didn't sell but more on that later. We sat down at a window table and was pleasantly surprised by how lovely the whole restaurant looked from where we were sitting. We decided on a corner-window seat as we didn't know how full the place would get later and didn't want to get in the way. I sat directly in the corner and was slightly dismayed to see that I had sat DIRECTLY under a speaker. It was rather loud and I had to raise my voice higher than normal to be heard by my partner sitting only 3 feet away. The server came to take our drinks order, and this is where things started to sour slightly for me. As a steak fan, I am also a huge fan of a good red wine to go with it. I asked the server "What wines do you have?" her response..."Red, White and Rose" - I couldn't help but chuckle slightly, so I asked what reds she had, she didn't know. The first thing any server should know is what they are serving, what is available and how much it is, she knew none of these things and instead had to go across the restaurant to the till, to check. She came back to me there was a Shiraz, Malbec and Merlot - not exactly a billionaire's banquet as you can see, but I reluctantly got the Shiraz - it was vile. I then got a pint of some-thing or other, and that tasted lovely. Partner got a gin and a cider, and again, no complaints there. Next comes the food. Like so many, we had looked online to see what was available and had chosen our meal, when we arrived, very little of it was available and for a 'steakhouse' the choice was rather lacking. We looked at the "menu" - which was a small piece of white paper with some items on it and appeared to have seen better days. For an establishment as outwardly beautiful as this, it was a big let-down to be handed a flyer - rather ruins the atmosphere in my opinion. We both got a rump with all the trimmings and a calamari starter - no complaints there, food was lovely, steak was cooked to perfection and the trimmings were delicious even if the peppercorn was slightly too peppery for my tastes. We had a great time there listening to the slow atmospheric music which was being played - if rather loudly and paid for our meal. The meal came to around £80, which was more than reasonable for what we had. My last point of contention is with the server's behaviour as we left. We started to make our way over to the door to leave, and she barely looked up from her phone to say goodbye - found this rather rude considering there was no-one else in the restaurant. All in all, a rather mixed experience. I would go again, but I would sit in a different place and lower my expectations going forwards. Special mention to the chef however, as he was lovely and came to see how our food was - you don't see that nowadays and it was a welcome addition to our experience. Probably see you again on Valentine's Day The Hide, even if the experience wasn't an overwhelmingly positive one, I believe you can do better and I look forward to seeing you try.
