"Visited this pub today with my husband and sister in law. We initially sat outside as we had 2 dogs with us. However, a couple who were just leaving told us they weren’t happy as they had been served their food on paper plates as they had been told this was company policy for eating outside. This seemed a bit strange as we had been given proper glasses not plastic ones. My husband asked if we could sit inside as we did not want plastic plates and he was told we could move inside with the dogs. We went inside and ordered our food. After quite a long wait the food arrived a jacket potato, 2 pies and a dish of chips as ordered. We were also given a dish of boiled potatoes. On asking why we had been given these, there was no reply from the waitress. About 10 minutes later a woman appeared at our table (not sure if she was the manager or the chef). She interrupted our conversation and said that in future we should eat food that we had not ordered as quite a few of their customers took food we had not ordered without paying. We explained that we had asked why we had been brought the potatoes but had not received a reply so we thought they were a side for one of the pies. At this stage, in view of the fact that she appeared so annoyed, I twice offered to pay for the potatoes. She said if didn’t matter, said she would “sort out” the member of staff who had brought them and stormed off. We could then hear raised voices in the kitchen. I must say I have never experienced such poor customer service and will not be returning. I just feel sorry for the member of staff involved who made a genuine mistake that could have been dealt with much better. I would like to say that all the young waitresses and bar staff were polite and welcoming and the food was OK but the rudeness of this person spoilt our meal."

"Download the pizza canoe app, you receive 20% discount by ordering this way. Delivery is always reasonable 20-45 minutes and I can’t say we’ve had a bad meal yet. Both the peri peri chicken wings and hot or BBQ wings are spot on, tried numerous takeaways in castleford and haven't found anywhere better for fried chicken! The chips come with American spice as standard, their pizzas, burgers, kebabs and wraps are all tasty. The sauces come separately so you don’t have a wet soggy wrap/kebab like you get elsewhere and the salad is a generous size, again packed separately. The only thing I can pull them on is that you don’t get a proper naan bread with the kebabs, it’s a large chapati that’s wrapped in foil separately but again it’s fresh and warm and not dripping in sauce/grease. We’ve placed 11 orders since 22nd September, they’ve never got an order wrong and the food’s always been spot on no matter what we’ve ordered. I weigh 9 stone 10, I’m not a slob I just have a very busy work schedule and can’t be bothered cooking when I get in. I checked the difference between ordering the exact same dishes through just eat and the pizza Canoe app... £20.50/£14.70 including delivery and that’s for 2 mains, sides, and a large bottle of pop. At these prices I could easily afford to order 7 days a week! The only other gripe I have, which I’m sure will be shared by others, is that when I order a bottle of coke I want a bottle of coke... not a bottle of Pepsi! Might sound petty to some but they are 2 completely different drinks! I’ll cut them some slack however, maybe coke’s been harder to source throughout lockdown! Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!"

"after the prebooking and with today's Mother's Day, our family were very excited to book lunch,It was a past since we were all together, so Mother's Day should have been extra special. it was however for all wrong reasons,...Insepid karvery meal with the thinnest cuts of meat imaginable was the first,twenty minutes later a bowl of luke warm mac and cheese comes without side, this was sent back and 20 minutes after that the mac and cheese was returned,t minutes after that the dirty klecker was very prepared. up to this point we were still 2 dishes, my mother and my sons had not arrived yet. fish and chips were next to a few 20 minutes later, cold chips. then my son was handed over a piece of nut roast 10 minutes later and said to go his own veg on the carvery, now the whole idea, eating out and celebrating as family was to have a relaxed meal together and having fun, that was anything but. it was terrible, extremely terrible and ruined the day,Emma was excellent and apologized proffusely. I wish I had read the reviews before the hand, because it seems that our experience was not uncommon,Staff seemed to be lacking in enthusiasm, and the kitchens well knows what happened there today, prevailed in authority. it was shocking and if a place posting to mothering on Sunday then there should be no excuse as they should be well prepared and know how many are expected. I can only suspect that the chefs were without mothers, as I am sure that they would not serve their families and their mothers as müll without care, no presentation and no quality control, it was a mistake to go and a scandal that they human hard earned money and ruined such a special day."
