Bistro 42

Really excellent. We had the large Sunday roast which comes with 4 meats and all the trimmings. Fantastic food & amazing cauliflower cheese! I had to take half home with me. Still had room for my chocolate sundae. Great staff & a good buzz.

Came here for my birthday, we wasn't disappointed, had a lovely meal , starter was delicious Camembert cheese , would highly recommend followed by the mixed fajitas, service was excellent , Matthew who waited on our table was lovely, friendly and polite . Would definitely return , lovely atmosphere with 80s music being played .

We have been here a couple of times for Sunday lunch in the past few weeks and it is amazing food and value. We have travelled throughout various places in Wakefield and the surrounding areas over the past few months and this is top of the list. 5 stars for food and service and everything else they do to make your visit a pleasant experience, long may it continue well done!!

Mixed experience, great Sunday roast but disappointing and overpriced desserts This was my first visit to the restaurant, and at the start I genuinely thought I’d found a new favourite. The décor is lovely, and I ordered the Sunday Feast for One, which was really nice. The meat was tender, the Yorkshire puddings were big, and the gravy tied everything together beautifully. The only downside on the plate was the stuffing, it was quite rubbery, so I wouldn’t order it as an extra dish. Unfortunately, things went downhill when it came to dessert. I chose the four-layer fudge cake (£7.95), which is definitely on the pricier end but I was impressed with the meal so I thought it'd be worth it too . What I got didn’t resemble a fudge cake at all, it tasted like a basic cheap supermarket chocolate cake served almost cold and the slice was tiny. It just tasted sweet and the flavour that was there was really unpleasant. It was really unejoyable. My friend had the sticky toffee pudding (£7.50), and his portion was small too and he didn't rate his or mine either Service started off attentive, but once we got dessert it was like we vanished. No one checked in, so I just pushed through the cake even though each bite annoyed me more. When the plates were finally collected, I shared our feedback, but the response I got was, “No one has ever complained before.” I’m not sure why that was the go to response as it was invalidating and dismissive. It made me feel like my experience didn’t matter. I would have come back for the Sunday dinner because it really was lovely but after that response, I’m hesitant. Overall, it's worth going for the Sunday dinner but save your money and skip the desserts.

I highly recommend brunch at Bistro 42. We had an amazing time for my daughters 40th birthday.There was 18 of us and all the meals were not only delicious but great value for money. The drinks flowed , the staff were on the ball taking our drink orders. Great music and atmosphere.

I attended a Christmas Bottomless Brunch at bar 42. The atmosphere was amazing, with fabulous festive and well-known tunes played by the DJ. The staff attended to our needs amazingly, the drinks were served very fast and tasted brilliant. The food was gorgeous. Overall we had a brilliant visit. I’d just like to post a little shoutout to two staff in particular, Grace.W and Grace.O, thank you for making our Christmas bottomless brunch the best that it could be 😊❤️

Had such a great evening there. The food was delicious, we loved the options (not too many but quite varied, so great for people with different taste). Would absolutely recommend, will come back!

A nice local restaurant with a great selection of dishes. Staff very friendly, plus lots on hand d to help and serve. This is also a very popular bar that attracts a bustling crowd of drinkers. Food was very tasty, combo starter was very generous and would fed 3 to 4. Wines and beer not cheap but affordable. Can get a little noisy with the pub crowd but the glass partition really helps.
