The Old Vic - Ossett

Myself and my family get together once a month for a big Sunday lunch and in January tried here (we really have been all over Wakefield and surrounding areas at this point! and the food was so tasty that we came again in Feb. The pub itself is so cosy with a wonderful, homely atmosphere with a great music playlist and super friendly staff. Especially the bar man, he served us and he was so friendly. The food itself we pre-ordered as there was a lot of us and the food came out swiftly and still piping hot and the food yet again was bang on! The chef always comes out to check on us and she is really lovely and even boxed up one of the meals for us as we had a no show. The best part however and we all raved about this, was they sent out a big plate of tiger bread and butter to mop up the gravy!! What a great touch and we all had a slice (some of us multiple and thoroughly appreciated it. I’m sure we will be back again when we gather together again in around 6 weeks time! I wish I’d have taken a photo but I will next time!

The service at this restaurant is excellent and the atmosphere is great. The food is delicious and the portions are very generous. This is not our first visit and it definitely won't be our last.

I am a big fan of the curried goat at this restaurant, but unfortunately it was not available tonight. However, the alternative options of taco trio and spicy Parmo chicken did not disappoint. The dishes were freshly cooked, so there was a bit of a wait, but it was absolutely worth it. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the hospitality with a drink. I highly recommend this place.

Called in on the off chance as I’d not been here for years and it was always good food! The lady told us they’d taken over a year ago and wow the food was so amazing! The Caribbean menu was brilliant and we can’t wait to go back to sample other things off the menu! The lady chef came out to ask how our food was but didn’t take up our offer to live and cook for us every day haha. Beautiful!

After waiting for more than an hour for our food, we couldn't help but wonder if the restaurant was going out to harvest chickens from the egg phase. Despite the extensive chicken menu, we ended up sharing our son's melty puffs with the table, as our chicken still hadn't arrived by the end of the meal. Overall, it's a good venue for dinner, but I recommend ordering closer to lunch time.
