Great place, lovely staff. Food was lovely, and when my steak wasn't right, they went back and straight away sorted without hesitation. (steak was very nice also). Lovely shots at the end of the evening. Lovely place 🥰 I had a calzone last time , and I highly recommend that.

Thank you so much to Gino and the fabulous team at Mammamia Pontefract for helping us organise a surprise at a Christmas Party. Lovely restaurant, food looked absolutely amazing and everyone had a smile. We cannot wait to come back and surprise another day soon - a massive thank you for all your help and being so lovely to us. Paula and the Singing Waiters in the UK Team

1st time trying here and came on a friends recommendation. We were booked in for 7pm and it was very busy so had to wait a little for our table but our orders were taken while waiting and once we were seated our food wasn’t long before it was served. We all had something different and we all enjoyed. The decor made you feel you were sat in a taverna. However I did think it could have done with having a little spruce up. The staff were pleasant and friendly and I believe we spoke to the owner who gave us a limoncello with our bill. All in all a lovely evening out.

Had my 60th birthday here. Brought 40 family and friends during Christmas week! The team weren’t fazed at all and we had seamless slick service. Gino and the team couldn’t be more accommodating to make sure I had a night to remember. A brilliant family run restaurant I would highly recommend. Thanks guys!!

The staff are friendly and accommodating. My daughter & arrived when there was a very large party happening with music playing till midnight. We were offered a bungalow instead of a room in the main building. This was very much appreciated as the music was loud. The room was clean and spacious, there was plenty of free parking and a great breakfast.

We booked this hotel as we were visiting a few local places and it seemed like a good location which it is. When we first checked in we were given a room for 2 adults when there were 3 of us so we were frantically looking around this small room for another bed. We went back to reception and got another room straight away with 2 single beds and a sofa bed, all had a comfortable night sleep, bathroom was wet room style which is handy, and breakfast was ok-good, maybe because we were slightly later for breakfast it had dried out the bacon and scrambled egg which made the meat hard. Great options for breakfast you won’t go hungry. Friendly staff, great steak night menu made much more pleasant but the man who served us (who has family in the south) Nice high views of surrounding town from our room. Domestic staff were great, keeping the room stocked up with tea bags and doing a great job keeping the place clean and tidy throughout our stay. Thank you for a great stay!

Came on Saturday for the pumpkin festival. It was our first time and we had a lovely afternoon! My daughter enjoyed the rides, especially the Ferris wheel which gave us a beautiful view of the whole area. Lovely stalls and shows too.

I visit pumpkin festival today and it was amazing! The festival was worth to be visit, had many activities and decorative photo stops. With 8£ ticket is reasonable because we also spend some money for food and drink, pumpkin and activities. The farm is huge. I have known they having sunflower and fruit picking as well. The cafe, restaurant and shop is the best place for me, cause they have been decored amazing every corner. Staffs were friendly and good service. I impressed with their ice cream... look mouth-watering 😝 Shop is pricey but still makes pp want to buy items. That is their success. Highly recommend.

Visited the Halloween Festival today. The weather wasn't on our side. However, it was still a good event x I love all things Halloween 🎃 There was plenty of stalls, childrens rides, entertainment with sheep racing, so many photo opportunities and lots and lots of pumpkins to pick 🎃 We also ate in the cafe, prices reasonable and the food was nice. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Would definitely recommend a visit, but hopefully, you get a good day with the weather 😊

Lovely place, staff is lovely, lots of food options, beautiful decor everywhere, so many options in cafe too, ice cream is gorgeous too! There's always bits and bobs on, too, which is always great. Animals are so cute. however it's very expensive, so be prepared for that but at least you know you're getting good quality! I will definitely be back for a hot chocolate!

Farmer Copleys are Halloween ready and impressive as ever. Decorations are fantastic and staff get into the spirit of things by dressing up and greeting customers with a friendly smile and great service! Food is lovely, we just had sausage sandwiches to start the day but there is an extensive menu to choose from. A bit pricey but good value for the exceptional quality and generous portions. We have visited many times and it never disappoints. As well as the main restaurant, there is a new dessert cafe that we have yet to try and a fantastic shop to browse around. Their famous pumpkin festival is now on (tickets from £6) so a great time to visit.

This pub is local to me but I never really go in when passing by. Today I thought I’d give it a try and it did not disappoint. I had the hot beef baguette with home made chips (which is something you don’t see much these days) which was really tasty with generous portion sizes. Great value, and the staff were really nice too. I will definitely be coming here more now. I sat outside, but the pub was really nice inside too.

Spur of the moment, as we drove past, we thought we would pop in for some pub lunch. Inside was spacious, clean, and plenty of spaces to sit at. Despite the kitchen being refurbished and the venue having a limited menu, the food choice was decent. We went for the meat feast pizza and chicken strips with Mayo dip. (See pictures attached) The service was quick, and the food was great. Pizza wasn't greasy. Chicken strips were cooked just right. The price was reasonable. The only thing I could mark it down for is the atmosphere, but with it being quiet here if you like quiet, then here would be perfect for you. Would recommend visiting for a quick bite to eat if you were ever passing by.

Off the cuff call on way home from a weekend away. The kids needed some dinner. We can all honestly say was one of the best pub meals we have had in all our pub lunch experiences. Great to find an unspoken gem without intention. Definitely recommended and will be back

We stopped here on the way further north for a pit stop and very pleasantly surprised. Very welcoming pub. Spotlessly clean, friendly service and we both had an excellent burger. Also made our dog feel welcome with treats and pooh bags available at the entrance.

Wow! Just been took over and the new landlady and her team are off to a great start! Staff are super efficient and friendly too. The place is wonderful and so welcoming. Cosy corner, comfy settees and plenty of tables to dine at. A great experienced chef in the kitchen bringing out some great food with more to come when the kitchen opens fully very soon! Super dog friendly but areas to sit without dogs too. Loads planned by the sounds of it too from theme nights, food tasting, music etc. Great range of beers and wines to suit all tastes, cannot believe what has been done in just 1 week! Looks like we have found our new venue!

Nice little pub but when we visited there was a lot of people inside causing us to feel very claustrophobic. Only reason for a star deduction otherwise its a lovely little pub.

Pontefract for its size is a great place for a good night out. The Mad Ox is small but it has a good beer garden. Drinks are good, nothing too run of the mill. Worth a visit but very busy at weekends and race days. Shout out to the whole of Ropergate

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea. Everything was delicious and full of flavour. Friendly service and nice atmosphere on a busy Saturday. Only £15.95 per person (£5 extra for a glass of prosecco or a gin and tonic). Available Monday to Saturday between 2 - 3:30pm, you need to book in advance. They also offer 2 for 1 cocktails 2 - 4pm daily so you can combine the two deals. Nice way to spend an afternoon!

We meet friends here several times a year - four of us altogether. Location very good for this as we each take an hour to get here, combining it with a morning visit to Nostell Priory. Menu is extensive and very varied meaning we can all find something we like including some creative vegetarian dishes. It is also dog friendly which is very important as we always bring our dog. We wouldn't visit if it wasn't! And dog friendly areas aren't tucked away but spaces you'd pick to sit without a dog. The lunch menu and Wednesday menus are particularly good value and as a member I receive other offers during the year. Staff are friendly and professional, welcome excellent. When we visited yesterday our server was Craig and we couldn't have had better service. Really look forward to our visits there!

Not been here for a while, very attentive and friendly staff but took one star off as we had a very long wait for food but she did apologise. The food, chicken and chorizo paella and slow cooked morracon lamb was of a very good standard. We would happily go back again.

Decided at the last minute to go for lunch out with friends. They recommended this place which I'd never been to before. Really nice place to go for a lovely meal out, a very clean and friendly atmosphere. The server was really professional and extremely attentive to every part, from seating to ordering and then to paying. Fantastic food, really well presented and served hot. Will definitely go here again, and hopefully, we'll get the same server. Can't remember her name but would instantly recognise her.

Drink and food service was separate. Drinks would give a 2. Wife ordered a couple of cocktails which took over 10 mins to be prepared when the place was literally empty. I finished my pint and ordered another before they arrived. The food was a 5 (hence the 4 star overall). My burger and fries were tasty and great. All arrived speedy too. My wife ordered the chicken burger but it tasted funny and had a strange texture. The chef checked on us and we described the issue. He insisted on preparing a plain chicken breast which was much tastier and very much enjoyed. When things go wrong it often isn't planned and can't be helped but the service and care really turned it around and ensured that we will return.

A couple of weeks ago, a group of 24 of us went to the Electric Theatre for a Sunday roast. Some of us had the carvary, and I think that the carvary is better than any other carvary I've ever had. Had. The drinks were nice and chilled and the service was incredible. The thing about our group is that 23 of us are blind and one is fully sighted. The staff really were incredible. They served each and every one of us individually, and they did it with cheerfulness, speed and efficiency. We were all very impressed with them. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and the music was good. We had a wonderful Sunday afternoon, and the next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely be going back there again.

Me and my partner like to come for Sunday dinner most weekends but after falling pregnant we’ve recently struggled to find the time to travel up as it a 45 minute drive from where we live. However we really fancied a carvery and have been up the last two weekends and also made the journey in the week for our tea and dessert. Never had a bad meal and the staff are all so lovely and accommodating the food is worth the travel!

Gem of a place situated off the beaten track. Friendly staff, lovely well presented pub/restaurant with lots of seating to cater for all group sizes. The food was delicious and is quite reasonable in price considering the quality and portion sizes. The Rustic Arms also has a great outdoor area with a wooden playground for kids. Would definitely recommend but hope it doesnt get too busy😁😉

5 STARS!! We came for food today, Was told there was an hour wait which we were okay with as the children were happy playing in the park. Food came in just over half an hour and was beautiful. The chicken for the kids weren’t the standard nuggets, so well worth the money. The adults meals were all freshly cooked and no processed rubbish. Would recommend to anyone!!
