🍽️ Our Famous Carvery

Served daily from 12pm. Choose from succulent local meats, seasonal greens, and our signature giant Yorkshire puddings. Freshly prepared every day to bring you the best roast in town.

🌳 Family & Dog Friendly

Fun for everyone. Let the kids run wild in our newly installed play area while you relax in our spacious beer garden. We are proud to be a family hub (and four-legged friends are always welcome outdoors!).

⚽ Live Sports & Spirits

The best seat in the house. Catch every match on Sky Sports & BT Sports in our modern bar area. Pair the game with a wide selection of local ales, premium spirits, or a cold lager.

“Originally built in the 70s and named for the craftsmen who laid our local streets, The Cobbler remains a cornerstone of the Pontefract community. Our chefs—trained at the acclaimed New Wheatsheaf—bring years of expertise to every plate. From our ‘Famous Cobbler Pie’ to our gluten-free gravies, we believe in quality food that everyone can enjoy.
