This pub is fantastic, with a charming atmosphere and exceptional staff who are always friendly and polite. I celebrated my daughter's 18th birthday here in October, and everything was well-organized and efficient. It's always a delightful experience dining here with loved ones.
We always enjoy our visits to The Carleton, whether it's for food and drinks or just drinks. We have never had a bad meal, and the selection of cask ales is always well maintained. The staff are always friendly, especially Lucy, who always has a lovely smile. It's a place you will want to return to.
This was my local pub before moving away and was great to go back and see that the service is as good as ever!! Great food and drink selection, where things weren't available, lots of options meant that we still had a great meal. A big garden means sitting outside on a warm evening is easy and due to its size, it's easy to find a quiet spot and enjoy the night. Staff are knowledgeable about the food and drinks and able to recommend the tastist dishes on the menu.
My daughter chose The Carleton to have her 40th birthday party there. We all got a lovely welcome from the staff. It was a beautiful evening so ŵe all stayed outside in the very spacious beer garden. We had a DJ and a Sax Player which all added to a good night. The food was delicious, so thank you kitchen team. It was lovely to see my daughter with all her old mates and new ones too. Thank you for making more memories for my family.
A gorgeous , friendly pub on the outskirts of Pontefract . Very dog friendly , our pug can’t walk past without pulling us in
The Carleton is celebrated for its delicious food, extensive cask ale selection, and friendly atmosphere, making it a popular choice for families and friends alike. Customers often rave about the welcoming staff and excellent service, particularly during busy nights. However, experiences can vary; some patrons have noted poor service from individual staff members, which has unfortunately marred their visits. The spacious beer garden adds charm, and the pub’s ambiance is further enhanced during events. Overall, The Carleton remains a favored spot, though the quality of service may need consistent attention to keep patrons returning.

Food was all excellent, the staff were very friendly and really looked after us. We are not local but have visited several times over the years and our experience has always been positive.
1st time here, was ok but unfortunately whilst we were having our meal 2 loud mouthed guy s couldn't put a sentence together without foul language, yes I know it's a pub but it was just a bit much , we will visit again as the beer was perfect
The food is fantastic, prices are very reasonable. Dog friendly too. The only slight minor fault would be service is on the slow side, they are very polite but maybe more staff on would be better
Went for quiz night as a non regular and was very welcomed by all staff. Furry friends are welcomed as well which was added bonus. Good atmosphere.
Love this place! Staff are approachable and polite. Pub really geared towards our 4 legged friends. A real anchor of the community with clear signage of events and promotions. Really good food, hot and tasty. Pub very clean. Bonus basket in ladies bathroom is a really nice touch and thoughtful

What a great place is a past since I visited the carlton who lived in the last few years. a buddy of mine asked me to meet him there to a few pints and a hit and we had a great night. the personal was top notch, with great service and personality. the foot was up and it felt like a real local alcohol. with the words of arnie I'm back!
Brilliant pub, I and my buddy thought we would try to have a top night. good beer, great service and personal are brilliant. we look forward to a few in the garden in this summer and watch the mighty leeds. my new place, they'll get for pint or two.
