Reviews in Wakefield

have had many a curries at balti house , have to say it is one of the best curry places we have visited, excellent food, excellent staff especially Zak, he makes you so so welcome , just had new years eve there 2010, was still lovely , if you haven't been we would highly recommend a visit , been going for years and years ,

I have visited Valentino's on a number of occasions with my Partner and family. I have found the food to be fresh, cooked,presented, and prepared to a very high standard, I have never had a bad meal at Valentinos.There has always been a huge choice of dishes available. I have found the staff to be friendly, welcoming and always eager to please. I would recommend Valentinos and advise people to book in advance as it can get very busy on Fridays and Saturdays.

We booked a month ago to go to Valentino's for our Christmas get together, booking a table for 8pm for 6. At 9pm we were still waiting to be seated, with the staff saying they couldn't tell us how long the wait would be. I asked to speak to the manager and attempted to complain, he wasn't interested and was very rude. On asking where his customer service was, he replied "if you find it let me know". We left. I am absolutely disgusted with his attitude and will never go to Valentinos again.

Excellent food, relaxing friendly atmosphere

We have been going here for years. Since my last review in 2006 I must have had at least 100 meals in this Pub and never had a bad experience. Both the food and the service are both as equally consistent. I even convinced workmates to try this pub out on a Lunchtime, we pre-order and it's always ready withing a few minutes of us all arriving. There is only one downside, there is so much on the menu that my wife likes that it always takes her ages to decide what to have! One tip though - if you want to go on a Sunday you will need to pre-book as its always busy !

Eaten at mumtaz and akbars and loads of restaurants such as Indian palace but bollywood is the best in 30 years of eating curries

Ate there last weekend. Standard of food & service A1 as usual. Brought in-laws who agree its the best Italian in the area. Seen request before for Crumble dessert which is now on menu, but please could we have a cheese board as most of the other desserts are a bit on the sweet side.

Went there on recommendation.to find that this pub grub was top restaurant quality. Result...back shortly for family celebration.

I regularly eat Sunday Lunch at the fox & hounds. Really good value for money. I hate eating plastic food and this is far from plastic! Its all homemade. Real Yorkshire puds , roast potatoes and lots of crackling! The atmosphere and service are lovely. We are always really well looked after. I wouldn't have any problem in recommending this restaurant!

A standard American franchise restaurant with an aim to serve you with a smile and quickly. Food is good quality and atmosphere fun but they do lack on the personal touch. It would be better if there was more smiling but overall a good evening for all

We called in here to check out possible places neat the Kirkless Light Railway for a larger party of people for a birthday lunch. We were delighted to have chosen this place, it's very homely, very child friendly (our 2 year old son loved the boat in the garden) and the food was fantastic. The food arrived in a reasonable time, especially considering it's all home made - no evidence of frozen-microwave fodder here. The meals were very tasty and the portions plentiful. How they can maintain such a large choice and home cook everything is anyone's guess, but credit to them they pull it off somehow. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to anyone, it's a friendly pub, well cared for, excellent food. I would suggest you go to eat here rather than pop in for a drink, you won't be disappointed. Looking forward to our next visit for the Birthday lunch, safe in the knowledge that our family will love it too. Darren & Family - Leeds.

I went to Sloanes for the first time in August for my wedding anniversary. I was very impressed. The service was great and the food was even better. I have recommended it to work and 25 of us are going for a meal in November.

We visited Raj Poot, Wakefield 31/08/2010, instead of our usual Indian (Red chilli 2). It took 20 minutes to take our order. 40 minutes after finishing our starter you had still not removed our plates and we were still waiting for our main course.  Around 10 takeaways came out of the kitchen, in the end we paid for what we had eaten and left. After being members of Highlife diners club we will not be recommending your restaurant to anyone.

i love this restaurant and have been a good few times now. its a very friendly place with staff greeting you as you come in to shaking your hand when you leave. the food is superb at a very valuable price and extremely delicious. wide choice of menu catering for many. can not beat the quality of the staff or the food. Zak is an excellent manager and treats his staff and customers with excellent respect

Disappointing meal after a promising start with tasty and well presented poppadums and pickles. The lamb was tough and chewy and both curries lacked flavour and overwhelmingly peppery. Service mediocre atmosphere nil poins. Shame spice cottage was closed. 0 stars

fantastic authentic Italian restaurant serving pizza straight out of a Tuscan wood oven .the main courses are excellent and the salt baked seabass was out of this world ,would definitely recommend

Cracking little pub with great locals and welcoming staff and friendly owners.one of the nicest pints in wakefield
