The Kings Arms — Restaurant in Wakefield

I booked a Junior Suite and inadvertently booked the wrong date.  As soon as I discovered my error, I rang the Hotel and spoke to Gent called Simon, who couldn’t have been more helpful in rectifying my mistake.

We arrived at the hotel and were greeted by an ever so helpful Receptionist who checked us in efficiently and smoothly.  We were then directed to “free parking” at a site less than 5 mins walk away.

Our room was lovely.  Very spacious, spotlessly clean and had everything we wanted  - including dressing gowns and a fridge!   The decor was certainly in keeping with the age of the building, giving us the feeling of Victorian grandeur.   The bathroom was one of the biggest I have had in a hotel, with plenty of hot water.

We didn’t stay for dinner as we already had made arrangements, so can’t comment on that.  However we did have breakfast the next morning, and opted for the full English.  It’s cooked fresh so there is a wait, (not a long one), but we occupied our time with items from the continental breakfast buffet – lots to choose from.   The breakfast room staff were very polite, friendly and efficient, keeping us topped up with coffee when needed.

This hotel is in a lovely location and our room overlooked a square opposite – beautiful!

In short – we had a wonderful time at your hotel and look forward to a return trip.  There’s lots to do in Hull.  The Marina, Old Town and Minster are certainly worth a visit – as is St Charles Borromeo Church just around the corner from the hotel (stunning...

Just called by this public house for a drink outside on a glorious sunny day , my friend did the honours and bought the drinks , I stayed outside. He says it was like walking into a time capsule, it still had its original fixtures and fittings , including gas lights ( but not working ) I think. The beer was nice and cold , there was outside seating at the front of the pub ,overlooking the very small village of Heath , in the Wakefield district of West Yorkshire. The views from this location face south west to north west so on a clear sunny day you can watch the sunset along the Pennines, with the town of Wakefield in the foreground and the Pennine towns and villages (eg. Emily Moor TV mast) in the back ground sky. The pub has a round " Star of David" window at the front. It's a beautiful stone built building, as are all the other buildings in Heath . Heath common to give it , it's proper title, is very ancient and common grazing rights are still used, there are quite a few horses on long tethered lines. It's just the place to sit or walk around and take in the wonderful views , with the option to go for a drink. I love visiting this area...

This is a really cracking example of a English pub, it has a village green pub quality to it. Funny considering you go down the road and your in Wakefield! The Kings Arms is set in really pleasant surroundings and is a building with plenty of character, lots of olde worlde charm is present, there are lots of nooks in the bar area and a lovely beer garden perfect for warm summer evenings. There is a good choice of Real ales provided by the current owners Ossett brewery and from further afield.

you can take meals in the bar or restaurant, both differ in what is offered. we ate in the restaurant on our visit and the food was lovely and the staff very friendly, service was quick and efficient. I don't know if the menu changes regularly but i had a potted beef starter that was unlike the potted beef i was used to but it was lovely and fresh. The main was chicken and chroizo with chips and a salad, the chips were great in a home made style.

will definitely be returning in the future for another meal in the restaurant, bar or even for a quality...
