Stopped by for a work lunch, service was fantastic and thoughtful. The owner noticed my friend's schnitzel was a bit on the small side so brought over another one, totally unexpected. Food was delicious as usual! We will be back!

I arrived around 4.45pm on a Thursday. Their kitchen opens at 5pm, but I was happy to wait and order after 5pm. Some of the tables in the dining room weren't ready for service (no cutlery, table cloth a mess) and they didn't fix it even though I left after 6pm.

I ordered shortly after 5pm, asking for a medium rare steak with mash, and a waffle for dessert. Easy peasy.

Alas, it was not easy peasy. I was told a few minutes after ordering, they were out of waffles, sure fine I'll have the chocolate pudding. Steak arrived pretty quickly, however it looks to be well done on the outside at least, so I eat it and it was pretty tough to eat, very over cooked. It was almost like it had been pre-made and recooked?? How did it come out so quickly and cooked well done? Chocolate pudding was ok even though it didnt come out with a spoon, i had to ask for one. I've had better chocolate pudding though.

Anyway. They use the dining area as an office so I got to hear all sorts of things. It felt like I was at work still and eating at my desk while the staff around me make phone calls about events and talk about their new starters, and hiring new employees.

In the dining room and in the bathroom, the venue smells like a mixture of cigarette smoke and cheap perfume. Don't come if you are sensitive to smells or have asthma.

Anyway hope this place improves but yeah good luck.

Service was quick and friendly, there was a good selection of food and prices were reasonable. Food came out pretty quick and was tasty, hot and fresh.

During my recent visit to The Wakefield Hotel, I had the pleasure of being served by Raymark, whose friendly demeanor and excellent customer service made the dining experience truly enjoyable. I opted for the classic cheeseburger accompanied by crispy potato wedges.

The cheeseburger was a delight from the first bite to the last. The patty was juicy and perfectly cooked, topped with just the right amount of cheese and fresh vegetables, all sandwiched between a soft, toasted bun. Each component complemented the others, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.

The potato wedges were equally impressive. Golden-brown and seasoned to perfection, they provided a satisfying crunch with every bite. The seasoning was just right, enhancing the natural flavor of the potatoes without overpowering them.

Credit must also go to Watz, the chef behind these delectable dishes. Their culinary skills were evident in every aspect of the meal, from the careful preparation of the burger to the expert handling of the wedges.

Overall, my experience at The Wakefield Hotel was outstanding. The combination of friendly service, delicious food, and skilled cooking by Chef Watz ensures that I will be returning soon. 10/10

The Wakefield hotel is a nice place to relax
after a busy work. Hey Ray, just wanted to say you're awesome! Your friendly vibe and helpfulness at the pub really made my day. Cheers for being so cool!

I just want to say that this place is amazing !!! The atmosphere, the entertainment, the music. I went there because I wanted to try the burgers and I felt home again, the taste is just amazing and the service.
Thanks to Carlos for making me feel home again. The lady at the bar was really nice too.
Definitely coming back

I really liked the place, the atmosphere is very nice and different, I ordered a burger and had a drink on the spot, the taste was delicious, if you have the opportunity to go to the place do not miss it, the people who work there are very dedicated and friendly.

I had my 21st here in December 2023 and it was amazing. The food came out exactly when they said it would and it was all delicious. The staff were super friendly and made sure everything we asked for was attended to and we got everything we needed. They were really good for when I needed my backdrop dropped off and picked up and did everything they could to make sure my night was special. Kylie, the events manager was super helpful with setting up the dining area for the party and she made sure my night was one to remember

The BEST pub!!!
Had the most amazing meal and experience at the Wakefield yesterday. We had a table of 6 and everyone loved their entre and main meals. The vegetarian in our group was extremely impressed by her meal and the options she had available to her. The manager Kylie couldn't do enough for us and we were all blown away by the level of service received. We were lucky enough to meet Nestor the chef and pass on our praise. The lad serving at the bar and taking our orders (didn't get his name) was very friendly and loved to chat 😀 Thanks again guys, we will now make the Wakefield our regular!!

New owners and management.
Working on the pub structure and facilities as best they can from the state it was when they bought it.
New chef. Normal pub fare but was tasty enough.
Bar staff were very attentive and efficient.

Absolutely pitiful 🤢...very young male manager whom had an attitude that was repulsive. No service, just threw around demands while he sat drinking on duty. Don't get me started on the bathrooms. Besides having to side shuffle through ridiculous doors to even get in, there was toilet dirty paper on the floors, hand soap just left soggy in the sink, melted candles (why in a bathroom ) scattered over the sink and stick diffusers on the floor. DISGUSTING 🤮. Maybe if the child manager got off his backside the place may have some patrons. I've been twice and it's always dead. Decor has no flow, place is always filthy. Health inspectors dream.

On short notice on a Friday night we rang and said we had a party of 30 people. They were happy to accommodate us staff were fantastic as was the venue. Would definitely return.

We cannot rate this Hotel more highly!
On the weekend another Hotel stuffed up a booking we had for my Sister's 50th Birthday and we called The Wakefield Hotel and spoke to the owner, Mark, to see if they could accommodate 20 of us immediately and they couldn't have been more accommodating! The service we received from Ky & Elenor was nothing short of incredible! The beer range was fantastic, extremely friendly service & we are so glad the other booking didn't work out now because we had the best time! Nothing was too hard for them! Thank you for an amazing time and saving the 50th from disaster 😌

The Thursday steak nights can't be beat! Steaks were tasty and served with a lovely salad and chips. There's lots of seating areas available, great atmosphere. Felt a bit more upscale than some pubs.

Beer selection ok, last orders for dinner called at 7pm mid-week, not idealt but was quiet so understand. Staff were friendly

Really good food and portion size. Too many hotels short change on value for money, but not The Wakefield. Friendly staff and efficient service.

The Wakefield Hotel is a consistenly good spot for a decent pub meal. From pub classics like burgers, schnitzels and fish and chips to hearty salads. Good food, cold beer and great service.

Nothing fancy. Just a basic menu with completely solid fare, served quickly and piping hot (a rarity for pubs) during lunch. No complaints at all, but not very memorable either.

Prices a bit on the high side though.

Advertising a pint for a price and serving customers a schooner instead. Probably get rid of the false advertising. Understaffed and not the friendliest at the bar. One just grunted at me when ordering. May have just been the occasion or a bad day, but customer service goes a long way.

Very ordinary schnitzel in terms of size, taste and sauce. Chips were decent.

Good selection of beers and a quality top shelf. Cosy and not too busy. Good location for an after work beverage of a nice lunch. Has a dart board and pool table.

A group of us went for lunch
We pre ordered our meals and 10 minutes after we paid all 20 of us were eating
Nice juicy snitzel with thick crunchy crumbs
Size was good
Pepper sauce was spicy
Great service
Beer was cold

Myself and a couple of friends came in on Friday the 2nd of September for drinks and a bite. The place was absolutely packed and we had awesome service from the girls at the bar... even though they were flat out serving a what looked like a busy venue going on they still were very responsive and friendly with our orders. Smiles and politeness goes a long way in my books. Definitely coming back

Great Meal l a Saturday Night. Good price great value.

Good pub more people need to give it a try

Nice welcome Front desk Service freindly and polite.

Good food, nice range of tap beers, smoking allowed in the beer garden!

Nice modern pub, good range of local and craft beer.
