William Street Sports & Social in Castleford

Ah, William Street Sports & Social – what a lovely little find in Castleford! From what I've gathered, it's got that warm, inviting pub feel where the staff go out of their way to make sure you're having a good time, and the overall atmosphere is just spot on for catching up with mates over a drink. The reviews rave about how welcoming it is, with plenty of friendly faces around to make you feel part of the crowd. It's clearly a place that does the basics right, offering a solid spot for a pint and some socialising. On the downside, though, some folks have mentioned the prices being a tad on the high side, which might make you think twice if you're planning a longer night out. Then there's that odd bit about the DJ not quite knowing their stuff in one review, so the entertainment could be hit or miss. Oh, and don't forget it's cash only, which is a bit of a throwback, and serving gin in half pint glasses? Well, that's certainly an interesting choice that might raise an eyebrow or two. All in all, it's a decent shout for a casual visit, but keep those points in mind to manage your expectations – it's got heart, but like any spot, it's not perfect.
