The Counting House — Restaurant in Wakefield

Manager-ess. Was very abrupt. Rude. & Extremely arrogant to myself & my 4 friends.. she approached our table to tell us that it was closing time.. which we didn't dispute.. only to see her letting a group of young ladies in . Then serving drinks to them. Also serving. Another table beside us... .. when my friend asked if we could have 2 drinks as 3 is our party were leaving. she snapped back. I've told you that it's closing time... he questioned her about serving 2 other tables.. to which she replied abruptly...what do you want....just to prove a point. He ordered 2 drink .. but she was far from being happy..the phrase .. face like a smacked AR$£ come to mind.... as you can gather.. we won't be using the counting house in Wakefield again.. but I suppose you will delete this post . So the good visitors to Wakefield who like to come here to enjoy a night out...will keep using this awfull bar.. .. we certainly...

Went to watch the footy and have some food with the family which we've done now and again for some time. Walked in 10 mins before kick off expecting it to be busy as always has been regardless of who is playing.... completely dead - had to check there was a game on and if they could show it.

Ordered food (which was nice) but we wanted some of the stuff they've taken off the menu, had a beer, then left to go somewhere we can hear the game too with...

Famed for their burgers, it was great to see they had a plant-powered menu with a large selection of options! Myself obviously going for the “Hey Hot Stuff” which was a @movingmountainsfoods patty, vegan cheese, jalapeños, roquito chillies, onion rings, spicy vegan mayo and the usual burger toppings.

There’s a good selection of sides too, but what won it for me was the Vegan Duck Loaded Fries! Quacking with flavour, the ‘duck’ was succulent and tender! Smothered with juicy hoisin sauce and topped hoisin mayo, toasted sesame seeds, spring onions and red chillies.

I would happily return here just to gutbash on the fries alone! And there’s few venues up and down the country, including London, Leeds and Manchester. Real messy but...
