The Brown Cow - Wakefield

A dog that came out of the kitchen was petted by staff who continued to serve customers food and drinks none washing hands. Food came after over 45 minutes despite the pub being quiet and no other meals being ordered or served. Staff unhelpful and denying what we had seen and stating food always takes about 45 minutes as it is cooked fresh.

We visited with our friends for a meal and drinks after recommendations and cant believe the disappointment. The pub was virtually empty save for a group of workers having a drink. Not the image we expected. We were shown to a table next to them. The room was really cold, really cold, and too brightly lit, which doesnt help , the cobwebs on the upper walls are hardly hidden then. We ordered, the staff were friendly enough. The meals were average at higher prices, and not as described on their own website, the prices being much more inflated. It wouldn't be that bad if the meals were good, I believe out of the four meals, only mine was what I would describe as good, that was the Cajun Chicken. The Gammon meals were breakfast gammon and too thin. The sandwich was average. It is so upsetting and disappointing when someone recommends a venue and it just fails to live up to your expectations, we won't return , another crossed off our list.

Great village pub with friendly locals, dog friendly with friendly dogs happy to say hello. Food was decent just what you’d expect nothing less, good choice of beers. Good bar staff friendly and smiling, great back ground music. Big car park to the rear. We will be back.
