Still love coming here after so many years. Just can't beat its quirkiness and originality! Like they say they don't have many pubs like these anymore A great pub for when the sun is shinning and just sat outside enjoying the views of heath village with a decent pint! Great place for dogs and children and best decent sized beer... More

I really want this place to be great. It's a great pub and the food used to be good too. Unfortunately, it's slipped dramatically over the last couple of years. We've been disappointed with the some of the 'pub food', so decided to book the restaurant as the menu looked fab. Unfortunately, the food was poor. The risotto starter was... More

Stumbled across this lovely pub by accident whilst out for a drive on my own. Decided to have lunch here. It's a lovely cosy pub with a warm atmosphere. I ate in the bright conservatory section, and had a lovely steak baguette with homemade chips. Great quality, very tasty, friendly staff and reasonable prices. It also has a lovely beer... More

We had been recommended to go here for a long time & last minute we came for lunch, when we first walked in we were pretty unsure! However the staff were so friendly & made us feel so welcome we stayed & ordered steak & a burger. All I can say us wow! It was amazing everything was home made... More

Set at the top of Heath Common this pub is full of charm. Dating back to the 17th Century the stone pub is a maze of separate small, cosy rooms many with open coal fires and large modern conservatory area on the back. A large dinning room which has plenty of space and a couple of smaller private dining rooms... More

Visited for Saturday lunch. The pub is so cosy with its gas lights and real fires. The real ales from Ossett Brewery add to the attraction and the food is very good as well. Nice location on the top of the heath just outside Wakefield. Well worth a visit.

Our party of four ate here on Tuesday, which is quiz night. The early bird menu advertised on the web and outside the premises was not available. One of our party asked for the beef and ale pie, but was told there wasn't any (though pie was served up for free to the quizzers later....). We had starters and mains;... More
