TESTIMONIALS
Private Hire/Wake Buffet
We booked for a wake when Mum passed away. Rich and his team did a great job. Nothing was too much trouble and he and his chef were more than happy to accommodate my requests for a custom made buffet. We wanted to put some warm food on the buffet and decided to do hot beef sandwiches, Chunky Chips and Steak & Ale Pie, as well as the usual selection of buffet sandwiches.
Rich kept us informed by email as we confirmed the arrangements and on the day the staff were really friendly and welcoming. They did every thing they could to ensure the day ran smoothly and our guests were catered for. They even accepted a couple of strange requests for drinks on the day.
The food was exceptional and all freshly made everyone commented on the quality especially the Steak & Ale pie!
The venue was spacious and had a massive car park so there was no stress there. Overall the day was a really good day and people stayed a lot longer than we expected.
I was surprised how reasonable the price was, given our customised menu requests.
Thanks Rich, you helped us give my mum a great send off!

Did us proud for my Mum’s wake
I don’t usually write reviews as being self employed all my life and giving 100% to people I expect the same from other businesses.
Under unfortunate circumstances my family and I were looking for a place that could do our Mum’s wake. We wanted to give her the best send off we could. We looked into a few venues but we weren't happy with the buffet meals, so I decided to see if The Pledwick could do my Mum’s wake.
From walking into The Pledwick I was greeted by the lovely and friendly manageress. I asked her ‘could they do our mums wake’ and she replied that they were closed on that day but she would be happy to do our wake. We started with 40 guests and ended up asking if they could cater for 60 guests, and they did.
The amount of compliments I got from our guests, I had to write this review.
The food and the service was exceptional and I am sure that I could not have found a better place in Wakefield to have had my Mum’s wake.
You did us proud. Many thanks

Thank you
We recently held my mum’s wake at the pub, and I honestly don’t think we could have chosen a better place. It’s not something you plan for often, but the staff made the whole process easy. They were so respectful and kind from the start, which meant the world to us during such a tough time.
The private area was perfect—intimate without feeling cramped—and the buffet they prepared was just right. There was plenty of food, and it was all fresh and beautifully presented.
The Pub is in a lovely little village, which made it feel peaceful and fitting for the occasion. It was also very easy to find, which made things simpler for guests traveling from further away.
It was exactly the calm, cosy setting we needed to say goodbye to Mum, and we’re so grateful for how they handled everything.
