The Silly Goose

You'll find The Silly Goose tucked away on Almshouse Lane, in that bit of Wakefield where things actually feel lived-in rather than generic. It's the kind of place where locals actually drink—not Instagram locals, proper ones. The atmosphere sits somewhere between a proper boozer and somewhere you'd actually want to spend an evening, which is rarer than it should be. They've clearly put thought into what they're doing here, whether that's the drinks menu or just creating a space that doesn't try too hard but gets it right. It's become exactly what this part of Wakefield needed.
