The 30 Best Restaurant in Wakefield

“Great food, great staff, great service. Our offices are based close by and we have been going to White Rose ever since they opened. Despite there being a number of alternatives locally, they are in our opinion by far the best in the area. (They also do consistently good jacket potatoes and catering for our staff and client meetings).”

“It may be an Italian in a small village but the food , service and atmosphere is one that belongs in a Michelin Star restaurant. Ameer works front of house and when needs is also a dab hand in the kitchen . His staff whilst local and young are all friendly and it’s great to see a local restaurant employing local staff . The Italian Chef Pepe is amazing and between my fiancé and I we have had the whole menu from salads to steaks , pasta to sorbet and the food is always delicious and exceptional and exceptional value for money . I cannot wait to fetch 40 something of my friends for my Hen Do and introduce them all to the best hidden Italian gem in the county . You were the best find 4 years ago and will continue to be our place to go for special occasions or just like tonight Bob in for tea after a busy weekend.”

“Visited Sandal Castle, mid-July, after discovering it on Google. I was so happy to see there was a café too. We, 3 of us, arrived just as the café was about to close 14:30, the café staff went out of their way to cook me a delicious bacon and sausage roll, my son had 3 cheese roll with chips. We also had 3 home made rock cakes / scones, coffee and cold drinks. I can’t wait for another warm day to return. Carpark is free too.”

“Saved my life during the birth of my child at the hospital next door with a 4 day induction of labour. Excellent sandwich. I don't know if it was sleep deprivation or what but the brown sauce will always live in my memory (I reckon it was just daddies).”

“Lovely little cafe, good selection of food and very friendly staff. Have been in multiple times and always left happy”

“What a lovely independent coffee shop. Lovely friendly staff, who were so cheerful and warm. Coffee was excellent. Cheese and Ham Toastie was superb, generous with the ingredients. Cakes looked amazing. The place was really busy, while the chain coffee shop next door was empty! Spotless toilets! Outside seating too. Right next to the Cathedral.”

“I've walked by Bailey's lots of times as my mechanic is nearby. Popped in for a breakfast sandwich today and was pleasantly surprised. Much bigger than it looks from the outside and a very generous delicious sandwich was handed to me at decent price. Definitely be back to try some more from the massive menu”

“Lovely view from balcony at the back, not many places you can sit outside and have a beer with this view !”

“A great place, a smaller theatre, is sometimes the best. Especially when you see your bro's play.”

“Stumbled across this little Italian beauty and we are planning to come back asap. The food was delicious and the staff couldn’t do more for you. I had the Lasagne Bites with a Parmesan sauce and Truffle Oil and Parmesan fries which were so good I took some home to show my husband who also wants to come and visit the deli.”

“Beautiful food and really well priced too Would highly recommend”

“My daughter postponed spending the night at her friend's on Friday. Because then she wouldn't be able to go to Rustico restaurant. She said she had to go to the restaurant on Friday. She said... I love Rustico.”

“My family and I shared a lovely meal together here. We all have specific dietary requirements (I'm vegan and my Dad's celiac etc), and the staff were very accommodating and good humoured. They went above and beyond to meet all of our needs, including checking fryers and providing gluten-free soy sauce. Wonderful food and fantastic service, we'll be back.”

“Stopped In while travelling, fast service, very nice polite staff, very tasty breakfast, we ordered the small breakfast each and it was too much for us to finish. Great value for money would definitely stop there again if we are in the area.”

“Came here for Sunday lunch, very good service, good choice of meals on fixed price menu at reasonable price and quality of the food was excellent. Couldn't really complain about anything. Would definitely go back”

“Some of the best fish and chips around by a country mile.”

“Visited this evening and will definitely be back! Food is great, staff are fab and the price is so reasonable, can't wait to go back already!”

“This is one of my favourite pubs in Wakefield. It has a superb location and a large selection of seating from outside on the lawn and the pub garden to inside the pub or it's conservatory. The pub itself is very old and worth visiting purely for this reason. It's full of character and is worth seeing. As for the food - the pies here are next level. The staff are always friendly. So yes definitely one to visit.”

“Great pizzas and pasta in a nice area. Good value-for-money lunchtime deal - main and drink for £10.”

“Came here on a quiet later afternoon. Great service, great food. My only feedback would be little longer for the food to hear up into the centre Great taste, would come back”

“Well cooked, fresh fish and chips. The staff are friendly and the prices reasonable.”

“Best experience had in along time amazing food, good selection of music from the dj, host providing excellent customer service defo go again 100 per cent recommend for any occasion was my daughters 21st staff went above and beyond so thank you to you all”

“Used to go every Friday for lunch during 6th form. Got to the point they knew what me and my mates would order and would have it ready for us. Debbie is always polite and friendly and the cafe is always clean, great value food.”

“Really enjoyed the food tonight and it was really good back to its best as the last 2 times I came for the buffets and I wasn't happy , But I thought I give you another go threw takeaway and it was amazing, really enjoyed it .”

“Great fish and chips generous portion. The curry sauce is to die for and great customer service”

“My first visit since moving to Wakefield. Couldn’t have picked a better day. Sunshining and sat outside. Really friendly staff and lovely local people. Internally the pub was immaculate. My go-to place now - loved it - thank you. The absolute BEST in the area without a doubt IMO”

“Stopped by for dinner to enjoy a bit of Americana, and we were welcomed with open arms. Wonderful staff and service, I had the ribs which were incredible, we also enjoyed several cocktails including the old fashioned and the snow-ito which were both delicious. Upon learning my partner is from north america, the chef excitedly gave us a kitchen tour, adding to the friendly and welcoming feel of the place. We ended up spending way too much as what we meant to be a quick dinner turned into a 3 course meal. Would visit again!”

“Top notch currys. Authentic. Full of flavour.”

“Tonight's chippy tea. Fish 'n Chips Wi' Bits (£9.90) and their homemade Tartare Sauce and beans.”

“Whenever I go up to Leeds, I try to visit this Fish and Chips shop since the fish and the batter is really good. It is up there with Murt and the other one in Wakefield. Beef dripping frying in these northern chippies really makes a difference compare to the ones down south.”
