"Pontefract has lots of pubs and it's important to have quality food offer as well. It's the right use for the building. She used to be a pub and now the food creates a more mature environment.
“There are so many historical objects in all corners of the building and the new roof terrace is an extra offer with external seating all in the sun.
“I’m pleased Pomfretians and visitors to Pontefract can enjoy food outdoors and inside this historical building.”
