Wetherspoons' two pubs in Pontefract are The Broken Bridge at 5 Horsefair, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF8 1PD and The Blue Bell at 8 Cross Hill, Hemsworth, Pontefract, West Yorkshire, WF9 4LQ. Two of them list a phone number, shown on the cards above alongside the full seven day hours.
The Broken Bridge lists step-free access, a licensed outside area, baby changing and TV screens among its facilities, which is the kind of detail that varies pub to pub even though the menu does not. Like every Wetherspoons, they carry a local name rather than the chain's, so they are not obvious from the street. Pontefract sits in West Yorkshire, and the county page lists every other town with a pub. The full pub finder covers the rest of the UK.
The menu here is the national one, so it matches every other Wetherspoons in the country. Breakfast covers the traditional breakfast at £5.19, and the main menu runs to katsu chicken curry at £9.43 and the grilled chicken breast burger at £8.39. Prices are set per pub, so treat these as the national reference rather than as Pontefract's exact till price. The complete menu is here.
The Broken Bridge opens 8am - midnight on Mondays and 8am - midnight on Sundays. Breakfast runs from opening to a fixed morning cut off, and the kitchen serves through to the evening after that. The full seven day table is on the cards above, and the opening times guide covers bank holidays.
These pubs do not take table bookings, since Wetherspoons runs first come, first served everywhere. For a group, arriving before noon or after the lunch rush is the practical approach. Some pubs elsewhere hire out separate rooms, which is the nearest thing to a reservation the chain offers. More on the booking policy.
