Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I find it a bit difficult to review the Waggon because just about all the relevant possible superlatives have already been used. However, this place is especially deserving of a further attempt. Our last visit, my wife and myself chose the roast dinners, she went...for the turkey and I picked the turkey and pork. Both plates had generous portions of the respective meats and all of them were of excellent quality and cooked to perfection. Along with the meat came seasonal vegetables, a Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and stuffing all accompanied with lashings of gorgeous gravy (See what I did there). Obviously, the main attraction for most people is the food but there's more to it at the Waggon here, you really do feel the warm, friendly atmosphere immediately you're met by any of these four lovely people :- Sam, Tony, Paul and Barry. It also must be said that the rest of the staff are no different which makes visiting here such a pleasurable experience. Other features are their specials nights and one of particular note is fish and chips night. Some time ago, I said to myself, I won't have fish and chips except from a reputable fish and chip shop that was turned on its head when I sampled the ones at the Wggon. Absolutely superb. We now live in Wakefield but that hasn't prevented us from returning, whenever we can, to this very special place.More

Have been a couple of times recently after not visiting for years. It is a bit more on the expensive side. More towards 16 per meal. Which I guess isn't all that bad. Kids menu. With entertainment pack. Friendly staff Good food. Chips are divine.

On arrival we were shown to our reserved table by very pleasant staff. Our seats were comfortable, and the place was warm and welcoming. There was a very varied menu, including a la carte and specials. When the food came, in good time, it was...cooked to perfection and reasonably priced. We had a wonderful visit and would recommend.More

We have never had a bad experience here. It is our go to place when visiting family. My daughter is coeliac, and she knows that she can trust them to serve her a gluten free meal. Food is well cooked and well presented. Sunday roasts...are very generous portions. The Yorkshire puddings are very good! Staff are pleasant and efficient.More

Found this place on trip advisor. A Gluten free heaven. Nearly every dish and all the sweets were GF. Even if you are not GF this place is superb. First the service was excellent. Paul and his team Chloe, Millie and Charlie were very friendly...and always on hand. The food was first class 2 x Sunday lunches, Fish Linguini and a large battered fish and chips. All followed by a choice of 7 sweets . Sticky toffee was my choice. Although an hour away from where we live, we will certainly be back.More

Having enjoyed our first visit so much, we took the folks out for an evening meal. Having missed out on the sponge pudding last time, there was method in not ordering starters. Two meat and potato pies and beer battered king prawns all being gluten...free ordered with a non gf lasagne and garlic bread. As before the pie was delicious with chunky pieces of meat lining the bottom of the dish with a jug of thick tasty gravy to keep adding to the meal ( although I didn’t appreciate we’d paid extra for gf gravy until I looked at the bill when I was writing this ). I would have been interested to know if we hadn’t said gf, if the gravy had been free 🤔 There was a choice of mushy or garden peas and my preference having seen both was the garden variety. Finished the meal with gf cheesecake and sponge pudding with custard. Asked for an extra spoon so we could share and as such, we got lashings of custard as two little jugs appeared. Service from Paul as before was spot on and also from the lady who served the puddings although I didn’t catch her name. A really good evening with excellent food. Next visit; Sunday lunch.More

Very slow service. Limited menu and priced as though something special when in reality it’s the same food as all pub restaurants. Reading through the responses it’s clear that she cannot accept constructive criticism and respect the findings of customers.

We had the Lasagne and the Haddock and Chips. The standard of the food was truly excellent. A lovely meaty lasagne and very fresh and succulent haddock, both perfectly cooked. The service was both friendly and efficient. The standard of the drinks was also excellent....A very nice Merlot, beautifully served, and whilst John Smith's is a fairly standard draught beer it was nicely chilled (for those who like it that way) and formed a nice head. The best compliment we can pay is that we thoroughly enjoyed the food and drink, and felt totally relaxed here. Well done Sam and Tony - here's to the next 25 years! Chris & DianeMore
