The small frontage gives way to a small L-shaped interior with a traditional feel. A friendly enough pub with 6 handpulls dispensing a good variety of styles of real ale.

This is an old town local that has almost certainly been knocked into a single room at some point. It's a no frills sort of place consisting of a small L shaped room with a mix of tiles and carpets. There are mostly low benches tables and chairs and a TV screen on the left wall was turned off. There was quite a crowd in before midday on a Saturday.
There are six hand pumps which had Taylor's Landlord, Banks's Tetley Bitter, Stancill Ventura Highway, Acorn Fiesta, Little Critters Nutty Ambassador and Oakham Citra. I went for the Nutty Ambassador (£3.50) which was in excellent condition and nice and cool. The fact it was cool was a boon as it's obviously an attempt to recreate a Ferrero Roche chocolate in a glass and I thought it was successful.
I liked this place and was surprised to see on What Pub that it's owned by Heineken (Star Pubs). That means I've found two good ones in their estate.
It's GBG 2018 listed.

A vibrant traditional boozer with plenty of people enjoying their Saturday evening with much good humour on our visit making for a fun and lively atmosphere.
Beers on were Tetleys, VOG Dark Matter, Oakham Citra, Hobgoblin Gold and Moorhouse Pride of Pendle. Not necessarily the most exciting of Wakefield selections but perfectly acceptable and the Citra and Dark Matter both went down very well.
Not to be missed if in Wakefield.
