Restaurants in Wakefield

“Went for breakfast here and got the small breakfast with hash brown. I would argue this breakfast is better than many of the breakfasts I have had within Leeds city centre and beats capri cafe. I would highly recommend, the staff are lovely and accommodating and you can tell the food is made with love. I recommend bringing cash to leave a lovely tip for this amazing local cafe.”

“I hadn't had fish n chips for about a year, after my local put me off. Kirkhamgate was recommended to me, the chips were lovely soft and fluffy, and the fish was nicely cooked with light crispy batter. The cost was a little more than I used to pay but it was worth it.”

“Delicious fresh food! Tasty kebabs & all our food came out hot. We would certainly recommend. Friendly staff with great customer service.”

“Absolutely brilliant takeaway pizzas. Tasty, accurate, delivered hot and on time. Good ingredients, fair prices, friendly delivery driver. 10/10”

“Great wee pub good prices local atmosphere. Worth a visit. Great outdoor space.”

“Very friendly old school builders cafe, lovely food & exceptional value, Highly recommend.”

“I drive past here regularly, actually stopped and called in for the first time today. Very nice guy behind the counter, very helpful. Food was very good, just a good old fashioned chippy, I live miles away but will definitely go back. I would recommend this place without hesitation.”

“Tries 1st time yesterday,17/02/25..prices spot on and food cooked to order.£13:40 for 2 x best with black pudding and 1 x sausage bacon and egg..excellent,will be making it a regular visit.also spotlessly clean.others should follow.”

“Excellent quality food and fantastic service. All the meats were excellent and the staff kept bringing more. There’s a pleasant self-service salad/buffet bar too. It was basically empty on our afternoon visit so we got excellent personal service and everything cooked specifically for us. The minted lamb was my personal favourite. We will be back.”

“Well, what can I say about this place. Nothing as there are no words that can describe it. No.seriously. :-) The food is outstanding, and the service is second to none from the minute you walk through the door until you leave. I left SA 31 years ago and have struggled to find anywhere that can cook a steak like I get there until now. The photos don't do this place justice. 12/10”

“Spent 2 nights here and would recommend without hesitation. We booked a special offer which included two glasses of prosecco, a suite and breakfast. Our room was spacious, warm with a lovely view. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We had a lovely romantic two night break and will definitely be back!”

“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.”

“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.”

“If you’re looking for a place with truly excellent pizza, this pizzeria is a perfect choice! The crust is baked to perfection — crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The ingredients are fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. I especially recommend the Prego Pizzeria”

“The only problem I have noticed with this pizza shop is that it's too busy for its size. They really need to expand. Most of the times staff have hardly any space to move around. In my 7 years buying food from here I have never once had an issue. I know few people have complains but I blame it on the shop being small. If more space I think everyone would be happy. Siciliano always try thier best to look after everyone. Always smile. polite and welcoming. I have noticed that many many times and it's lovely to see shops still care. Nearly all shops in Wakefield now days you go in They don't even say hello to you. I will update my opinion if anything changes so far I am happy.”

“Came in first time, very polite and helpful service. Food was very hot and fresh aswell very tasty. Ordered fishcake butty and chips. Absolutley banging lads. Keep up the good work”

“First time we've been to this newly refreshed pub and it's Excellent. Friendly staff and good prices.”

“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.”

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

“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 !”

“Love Rice and Spice, best Indian restaurant in Wakefield by far. Very friendly staff and great service. We have used as a takeaway during lockdown but can't wait for the restaurant to open again. Kamal and his team are superb with looking after their customers .”

“Arguably the best spot for your healthier takeaway in Wakefield - peri chicken is out of this world”

“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).”

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

“Not the cheapest Chinese but then it was quality that i wanted. I had beef with green peppers & blackbean sauce, the beef was really tender & was overall delicious. I thought it rather strange that they are not on any of the online food ordering sites & they do not do delivery but i now understand that they do not need to rely on foodie sites when the food is so good & if it is so good - it's worth going out to collect.!!!”

“Really nice fish and chips. Never used this place until we were getting our exercise in lockdown and came across it while walking. Use it now everything we pass when out walking. Outside tables also available to sit at. Best fish and chips I have had for ages and each visit is just as good”

“What an absolute gem of a find! I had a full English breakfast and it was fresh and it was tasty! I met 2 friends here, and that was perfect, there is one large dinner table, dressed like it was the one at your parents house in the 90's. There is also some window seating and some benches outside when the weather is slightly more agreeable. Clearly a popular destination as there were plenty of 'yokshur' folk coming in for bacon butties and B.E.S.T. A running theme being people in High Viz and rigger boots ready for the days graft. Parking wise there are a couple of spaces out front, as well as on street parking. Proper salt of the earth place, would recommend!”

“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.”
