Asa Nicholson & Sons in Bradford

Waited for an hour for three breakfasts, absolutely chaotic even though it was not too busy. By the time the food arrived the waitress (who was very nice) apologised and offered complimentary drinks. A few minutes later she returned to say the manager told her that she could not give us free tea / coffee. The whole experience at Asa is at best poor, food has taken a nose dive, and as for the management please don’t get me started. Used to be a regular treat but not anymore. Plus very poor hygiene in the bakery, no hairnets, eating and drinking in a food prep area, needs a full overhaul. As someone who works in the food industry at BRC level it was shocking to witness.

Awful! £22 and the time I will never get back. Vile lunch, turkey sandwich was just turkey from the deli warmed up, the take was full of butter, on the bottom outside leaving a hand full of butter! Peas were horrid, chips were frozen, and hard as hell. Will NOT be returning again!

The best cafe in Yorkshire! Our family favourite. We visit at Christmas and always have a warm welcome and the breakfasts are just unbelievable! The full English breakfast is delicious and the bagels some highly recommended. There is plenty of toast to go with it. The local produce is so tasty! My children enjoy the milkshakes and choosing a bakery treat to take home!

This place is great! A proper farm shop, fresh and cooked produce all good. So good we drive from cookridge in leeds to shop here. We havent used the takeaway service or cafe yet, but the farm shop is " bob on". And friendly staff on the till's. The weather up there is a bit scary tho' 💨💨😬.

Hello, went to your shop at Keelham Bakers asked for a turkey sandwich and was told that they’re not doing cold food till 12 o’clock. The next customer walked in asked for a ham salad sandwich and was had it made when asked Staff why the gentleman we spoke to was rude, ignorant, and didn’t want to help Will not be using your services again as we were very disgusted of the way we’ve been treated

This farm shop has really gone down hill. All the Christmas decorations were covered in dust (last years stock that they couldn't even try and make presentable!). The animals looked neglected. There was no soap or paper towels to use at the sinks after seeing the animals. The whole place just stunk. To top it off, there was a huge piece of bone and gristle in my daughters chicken pie. Absolutely disgusting. The response from management was that this was only the second issue reported about bones in the pies this year!! Apparently they have a disclaimer on the packaging stating "may contain bones" so that it's our responsibility not theirs! Disgraceful attitide.

Mark F took my order and made us all feel extremely welcome. Great ambience, fantastic prices and super quality. I cheekily asked for a BIG piece of cake and he happily obliged. We will definitely return here. We have had "proper" food here previously and it was scrumptious. We looked over to see people having afternoon tea and it looked stunning. We shall return for our own afternoon tea before too long. Excellent service, quality and pricing.....what more can you ask for.

Our first visit to this farm shop and we were pleasantly surprised. Saturday lunch time and very busy. So well stocked, lots of staff restocking shelves etc. The deli counter is great, lovely pies, etc, so tasty, the meat counter again was overflowing with tempting produce, great selection of fruit and veg, wine, beer and spirits too. We bought some beautiful cherry vine tomatoes, white onions, some amazing white bread baps and from the deli/chill counter a piece of meat and potato pie, cheese and onion pasty and a sausage roll. We also bought a cherry Bakewell slice, flapjacks and a brownie! All absolutely delicious! And this was a flying visit! The takeaway sounds very handy, we saw the garden centre but didn’t look round it this time, we did wonder where the cafe and bakery was but I believe it is at a nearby location. We intend to return soon but on a weekday when it might be not so busy, we will explore all areas including the animal croft and try the cafe too. The shop isn’t as well presented as Keelham farm shop in Skipton, but is probably better in terms of produce. What a find!

Farm shop, supplies everything! All fresh and excellent value. One downside is that it's so good it's always really busy!

We used to call when it was Asa Nichols cafe and bakery. We were surprised when it changed to Robertshaws, iam glad to say we are not dissapointed, the food is good, the staff are amazing and very helpful, especially with a customer like me who wants things just how she likes it. We will be back again and will highly recommend to our friends.

Had a lovely light lunch today with my sister and parents, we were made to feel very welcome by Mark, who was very pleasent chatty and very efficient and we had fast speedy service, nothing was too much trouble for him, he's an asset to the shop. The food was delicious. We will be back thanks to Mark.

I took an elderly lady who has just been widowed last Saturday 23rd July. I notice on the door is said closed at 3. We went in at 2.43 to be told very abruptly we are closed. I said it says 3pm on the door and it is only 2.45. Answer again, we are closed. Shops close at 5 but don’t turn customers away 15 minutes before. Absolutely appalled by their manner. Won’t be going back.

Called in for a light Saturday late lunch and to buy bread and bakery items. Staff were warm and friendly and the service was prompt and efficient. The homemade soup of the day was particularly good. The place has recently been redecorated and was clean and tidy.

We called yesterday for an annual meeting with a friend and ordered a Christmas lunch.He ordered steak pie,which,we were told,was not available.Therefore he ordered corned beef slab with chips and peas.The Christmas dinners,looked more like,dogs dinners and were like warm.The Yorkshire pudding was hard and had a peculiar taste.The corned beef slab was also Luke warm with anaemic chips. We had been presented with a bill,before we had been served with any food and also asked by another member of staff,if we had enjoyed our food,we told her,we hadn't had any yet.This was treat by a friend and to say we were all very disappointed is an under statement.Our friend complained bitterly and was rewarded with the substitution of a meal and a coffee.We have visited Asa Nicholsons over many many years and always had a good experience.What a great shame that the new owners cannot follow in their footsteps.Sorry,but we will not be returning.

Visited in half term with husband and two sons, it wasn't anything special, usually farm shops are amazing. Oldest son got a chicken burger and he didn't enjoy it mine and husbands sandwiches were boring bog standard and onion relish was very sweet! Younger son got a brownie and hot chocolate, he did love the brownie but said he liked the hot chocolate at home better which is lidls own for £1! It cost £30 and enjoy wetherspoons more , it just seemed like a greasy spoon, such a shame. On a better note service was great and all staff were friendly. Don't like to be negative but hopefully some changes will be made for the better and it will do well.

The last five reviews say it all. The new owners have ruined what was a delightful old fashioned cafe. The reduced menu, changing from tea pots to mugs and the increased prices combine to bring the place down to the level of a mediocre market cafe.

We have frequented this cafe for many years but it has now been taken over by Robertshaw’s farm shop and the service and food quality has hit rock bottom. We went for breakfast - the toast had obviously been left in the toaster after toasting so had dried to a crisp, the bacon had been cooked to death so was hard. We asked for our fried eggs to be flipped not incinerated! The extra menu items are priced per item - 1 sausage, one rasher of bacon etc. We weren’t asked how many of each item we wanted so two of each item arrived and we were charged accordingly. What has happened to the teapot and pot of hot water!? A mug of tea with milk already in and a cup of coffee with no saucer. A once lovely cafe/ tea room has now become a mediocre transport cafe. When paying the bill I was asked if everything was alright - I said no and the price of the drinks was knocked off the bill and I was offered an item from the bakery counter. Now that the shop and takeaway has been moved into the tea room you also have to queue up behind shop and takeaway customers in order to pay the tea room bill. A separate till for the tea room should be reinstated. We live within a 15 minute drive but sadly we will not be coming back unless there is a return to the old ‘Asa Nicholson’ standards we have always enjoyed. Breakfast for 3 - £23 but certainly not worth it.

What is going on with this place, ASA would turn in his grave , without a shadow of a doubt the worst coffee in Bradford, Sandwiches are nasty, pasties yellow and horrid. I think you should buy your stuff in from Morrisons and just resell it as the stuff you have is nasty, and I will need to remortgage at your prices.

I have always gone to asa for years, despite living quite a way away. I have not been for six months due to my partner being clinically vulnerable, when we arrived we were given a single A4 menu which had half the items they offered previously. I ordered the big breakfast. It was one of the worst meals I have had. The fried egg was over cooked and hard. The sausages were so rubbery you could bounce them off the wall. We asked for tea for two and instead of a pot of tea we were provided with two cups of weak tea which they charged £2.10 per cup !!. My partner actually asked for a teabag as the tea was so weak and they couldn’t drink it. Since being taken over by Robertson’s farm shop the food quality has taken a serious nosedive and I would not recommend anyone getting food there anymore,

This cafe, joined to the bakery is a lovely place for a meal or just a coffee and cake break. Lovely friendly staff look after you and proved delicious treats.

We went here for some lunch after a walk around Ogden. Never been before so we decided to give it a go. The service even to place our order took ages. We then placed the order and asked for our little girls beans on toast to come out asap. This must have took a good 20 mins before it arrive. The food we ordered was lovely. But again were waiting some time to order desert. We had to go and get someone to take our order.

We’ve passed many times but never had the opportunity to call in before but we were not impressed. Some of the staff were surly & not friendly . I had wild mushroom soup & a roll £4 which was clearly out of a packet . Yuk . Hubby had fish & chips with peas that were like cement, cheap piece of fish, rubbish chips and bread with spread not butter £7.95. Latte came in a mug & was bland. We often go out for lunch with a budget of £15-£20. Our bill with cake came to £20 but wasn’t a patch on what were used to, so no won’t be back.

Went in today as a group of 3 friends and a baby and shall not bother again.

Called in out of desperation, and following a disappointing experience previously, I went to the takeaway instead of the actual café. What an improvement! Friendly staff, lovely coffee and at a reasonable price. After leaving an average review of the café I will now return, but to the takeaway.

We have had coffee or lunch here before but this time our friends suggested we try the afternoon tea. What a treat we had! A plentiful supply of very tasty and fresh sandwiches followed by delicious scones and cakes. The fruit tarts are worthy of a mention in their own right. The staff were very attentive and helpful and they had prepared our table beautifully complete with a table cloth and dainty china. All in all a lovely way to spend an afternoon with friends. Afternoon tea for 1 costs £11.00 but for a couple it's £21.00. Excellent value.

Visited this establishment many times and have generally enjoyed the food, the service can be hit and miss. Today we ordered breakfasts (triple choice) eggs bacon (requested well done) and beans. Toast and coffee. The coffees came very quick, they were Luke warm. breakfast took around 20 minutes to come and were very disappointing Luke warm bean (with an additional hair!!) sloppy burst poached egg and half cooked bacon! Which was very fatty.

Whilst the menu is pretty conventional, the food itself is exceptional. Well cooked, well presented and excellent value for money. Service is usually sharp but falls off a bit when the cafe is busy. Try the bakery next door for a lovely selection of cakes, bread and pasties.

both me and was out for a drive, and decided to go to asa nic's for lunch, we sat at table 7.we looked at the menu, and it looked to have taken some of the meals off the menu???,and I had the Cornish slab chips mushy peas and mum had pork pie mushy peas and pot'o'tea for two, and it certainly hit the spot mmmm, and the waitress that served us was friendly and had friendly smile and S.O.H, thank you asa nicholsons keep serving good food mmm.

Dropped in for quick take away lunch. Great sausage teacake and bacon sandwich. Good price and friendly staff.

was meeting a friend up there for a catch up ordered a milkshake n cake the milk shake came and for 2.50 came in a little plastic cup made for a child im a grown women ?and was warm it was so sweet it made my teeth jump it was cheap powder stuff you would expect better and my cake i left as was not very nice :( wont be returning over priced waste of money

We had been to the farm shop, up the road, and felt peckish, I remembered using this place some years ago, on a regular basis, whilst working in the area, so it must be 10 years since I last visited. I gave a glowing report, to my wife, about how good the food was, oh dear, how times change. It was around 10.30 on the Sunday morning, the place was quiet, we took a seat, and chose our breakfasts, and waited, and waited. One staff member had friends or family in the cafe, and went to sit with them, eventually a young man came to take our order, which, to be fair arrived quickly, and looked OK, except for a couple of missing items, we couldn`t be bothered waiting any longer, so ate what we were given, which was quite tasty, when paying, the usual "was everything OK", was the question, when I explained about the missing items, no response was forthcoming, except of course the full price was asked for.I paid but will not be returning any time soon, sadly.

This place is good for breakfast or lunch. The food is tasty and varied. Plenty of seating and car parking space.

After attending a morning business meeting in Thornton and having had an early start with no breakfast went to this place on the recommendation of others who said it was very good. Unfortunately my experience did not match that recommendation. I treated this as 'brunch' as it was nearly eleven o'clock and some people had come in for lunch. I ordered the breakfast which came with toast and a drink of your choice (Tea or Coffee). The food came and Lukewarm is how I would describe the food and the service. The sausages were 'rustic' in their consistency and pretty tasteless and they were lukewarm. The bacon was also lukewarm and a bit 'stringy'. There was a nice looking 'sunny side up' egg which turned out to be cold. The baked beans were also cold. The mushrooms were well cooked but again they were lukewarm. On a brighter note the toast was OK and the coffee was nice but it was also ... lukewarm!

Not particularly cheap but good portions, friendly service. Popular with the older generation. Takeaway from the shop next door.

We both enjoyed a breakfast today. Quality food, decent price & very good sized portions. Highly Recommended!

3 of us had a meal at lunch time and the food was basic English Fayre probably OK for most customers. The prices weren't cheap so not somewhere I would go back to for savouring food although I must say the desserts were great I recall the carrot cake being delicious.

I have visited many times before and I've always enjoyed my meals. I highly recommend their new Chicken & Leek...

A fantastic meal, great price, with some of the most friendly and attentive staff. Would highly recommend.

I was surprised how popular this place is. Seems to attract a lot of older customers

Both me and my 76yo disabled mother decided to visit asa nics for the last time in 2017,after arriving we sat and placed our order for there corned beef slab chips n mushy peas mmmm, plus a cappacino, had enjoyed it and hot the spot, we was served pretty quickm, we had noticed they had put nw toilets in aswell as there existing one,keep up the good work asa nic.

Amazing staff, beautiful food everyone is so polite would recommend to anyone and the new toilets are absolutely spot on

Went today table was sticky when tea arrived in a small pot with 2 teabags in it was so stewed you could nearly stand your spoon up in it. Milk and hot water went all over as we tried to pour from dated jug but at least when we cleaned it up the table wasn't sticky any more!

Fuimos a un desayuno durante todo el día (7 libras. 40) a la hora del almuerzo y no nos decepcionó - es la primera vez que no he conseguido terminar la comida cuando he comido fuera tan contundente. Visitamos dos veces en breve sucesión. La zona de asientos está un poco anticuado, pero eso es compensado con la deliciosa comida y un personal amable. Sin duda volveré - y es el único lugar que conozco que venden prensadas pastel tanto en el restaurante y la panadería adjunto así que cuando completo mi gran desayuno pude comprar una tarta para disfrutar más tarde y fue absolutamente deliciosa!

Voy mucho con la familia y amigos.

Visitamos aquí para el almuerzo los domingos. Amplio aparcamiento y fácil de encontrar, con buen acceso. Para ser sincero me decepcionó como esperaba un salón de estilo antiguo y pintoresco en lugar encontramos un casi vacío, bastante oscura, básico, un poco displicente. cafe No hay manteles y mobiliario acogedor aquí, sólo mesas y sillas de madera y un tazón de condimentos.

El servicio es lento, pero no se puede conseguir una taza de té mal! ! ! Es básico y un poco como caminar volver atrás en el tiempo, pero si quieres un alegre taza, entonces este es tu lugar!

El peor servicio en una tienda que me he encontrado. Las mujeres tras el mostrador nunca me reconoció o disculpas que yo estaba esperando pacientemente durante 10 minutos mientras ella sirve a un cliente y tenía una larga charla chit. Lamentablemente salí y no volveré.

He conducido el pasado este lugar muchas veces y a menudo pensamos en llamar. Hace dos días hice y valió la pena. El café estaba bastante lleno, pero nos las arreglamos para encontrar una mesa sin ningún problema. Una amplia variedad de menús desde bocadillos hasta comidas completas disponible a precios muy razonables. El servicio era rápido y amable, y la comida es excelente y vale la pena la visita y regresaré.

Enjoyed very nice quiche for lunch followed with bilberry pie and cream, delicious . The waitresses were superb.

Firstly we can't review the food as we didn't get served.We entered the cafe at 3:20. There were 4 staff , 3 ladies and a young chap . We were not greeted or acknowledged . We chose a table., occupancy of the place was not even 50%. A waitress was chatting away merrily to 3 customers on the next table for 10 minutes , then she took their order and went over to the till to input it. My friend went over to her and asked was this self service? He was told no it was table service. More people entered the cafe and seated themselves. It seemed like pot luck if anyone noticed you. The original waitress returned with her first order and proceed to chat and gossip again with her regular customers. Fifteen minutes after we had first entered people who had arrived after us had their order taken, my friend beckoned the young ( high school student ? ) guy over and told him , could he possibly take our order after theirs, we had been here longest. We did not even get a sorry. We ordered two simple meals, one fish and chips, one sausage and chips. The waiter returned and said, " Sausage Off, but everything else is on , my buddy ordered, gammon, surprise , surprise, two minutes later that was " finished" , so he ordered steak and kidney pie ,( remember, everything else was available ) 2 minutes later that was off.Well at this point we had had enough. We had been there 22 minutes and they could not sort out a couple of meals! We think they just could not be bothered So some advice to the owners 1) you pay your staff to serve not gossip. 2) we would have spent £20 plus but we walked out because of the non-service. How many more have done that ? 3) you might consider that this is not the first review you have about couldn't care less attitude being displayed by your staff. 4) you could get more productivity out of the right staff , it was obvious that no one was supervising the place I reckon you could half your salary costs if you had less but more efficient waiting staff 5) If two customers get up to leave I would expect someone to ask why? Not just stand and grin behind the counter. Anyway we will not be back, and we will not be stopping in the shop to buy anything anymore.

Six members of my family called in for breakfast together on Christmas Eve. The staff were attentive, the food was good, wholesome, tasty Yorkshire food. It was warm and dry. Nothing was rushed and we had as long as we wanted. Bacon, sausages, eggs, mushrooms, tomato, beans, black pudding, hash browns, toast, butter, marmalade, jam, tea and coffee. Wonderful meal which set us all up for the day. And the service was quick. Cost was about £7 per person, which we all thought was great value. Well done. We will come again

Good food at very reasonable pricesVery popular with an older age groupStaff efficient and politeRestaurant very basic with no frills but this does not detract from both food and serviceMany regular customers

Have visited many times over many years but this lunchtime was not the best. Average staff, average food. Take it or leave it attitude. Hope this was just a poor day, it used to be a nice friendly cafe with good food and a nice place to visit. Nobody seemed to be managing the place, not asked if we had enjoyed our food. Not worth our run out today.

We've been to this café a few times in the last four months since we returned to live in Yorkshire, so this isn't a "one-off" review - more of a long-term assessment. The food is excellent - but the waitresses are the worst we've ever seen. If you're a regular, you are served before people who came in before you and the waitress will have a nice chat with you. If you're not one of the "in-crowd" you will be ignored when you arrive, left to find your own table and then you will have to wait - watching the staff having a chat behind the counter - for an average of eight minutes (remember this is a long-term assessment). We have walked out in disgust on one previous occasion, given them another chance - and had exactly the same treatment on our next visit. If Asa Nicholoson's want to be a success, I would suggest sacking the whole bunch of waitresses and starting again with a new lot - this place runs for the benefit of the staff, not the customer. We will not be returning - ever !

Bakery and cafe with really good quality good. Great breakfast which we enjoy whenever we are around there. Cakes and jams well worth taking home for later.

We visited on a lunchtime for coffee and light lunch,we sat at a table that was littered with used crockery as nobody came to clear table we had to ask a waitress.we then ordered 2 scrambled egg on toast and 1 mushroom soup and roll,the scrambled egg dishes turned up and we had nearly finished before soup turned up which was vegetable my friend said shed ordered mushroom oh weve run out the waitress replied didnt they tell you !!!so soup went back and a toasted currant teacake ordered another 10 mins.The staff just dont notice who comes in or who leaves they are oblivious to it.We noticed only one of the staff cleared tables others walked past full tables with an empty tray i their hands.Whhen we went to pay nobody knew what wed had shambles,this place is crying out for a manager to oversee things,we saw 5 people leave who hadnt been attended to .I cant believe it was so busy considering its so unorganised i bet people just walk out of this place every day,shame its in a good place foods nice just needs someone in charge

I visited with friends for lunch. There is a good choice and the staff were friendly and helpful.The bakery is next door and there is ample parking.The quality of the food as excellent.

Very homely food with good service, good location for luncheon it's nice to see the bakery happening through the glass screen

My wife and I visit here quite regularly now for the full English and it is worth every penny of the more than reasonable price Always hot always tasty and clean and well presented, a must for a weekend morning Staff friendly and efficient, always seems busy and I am not surprised Keep up the great work !!

Having heard about Asa Nicholsons from several of our friends who visit the Tea Room regularly , hubby and I decided to treat ourselves to breakfast here this morning.Free car park- always good Easily found a table and friendly young man took our order of two full breakfasts , toast and tea or coffee. The food arrived quickly and we settled into enjoying probably the best ever cooked breakfast I've ever had ( and we do eat out quite a lot)The portions were plentiful , the quality of the food was exceptional ( particularly the bacon and black pudding) , large rack of toast , enough to have with the jam provided in with the price and wonderful coffee with a pot of hot water to top up and have several cups.After enjoying our breakfast we paid at the till to the pleasant and polite young man and I couldn't leave before complimenting the ladies who were cooking.Thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to " Asas" And we will definitely go again!

Beautiful food - there is so much to choose from. Wonderful friendly staff. Be sure to pick up some delicious treats a from the bakery - the challenge comes in narrowing down your options.

Was recommended by a friend to try this place, we were not disappointed. The food was very good and value for money. I would recommend booking as it gets very very busy. The staff are pleasant, the service pretty quick and a good choice in food. Highly recommended.

Extremely disappointed with the quality of the food we had fish & chips what we thought would be fresh was actually a frozen rectangular tasteless fish & frozen chips . This was the 2nd time we had been 1st visit ended up with mouldy cake & lukewarm coffee . Do not intend to revisit the cafe.

Called for brunch, busy and expected a bit if a wait. Didnt take as long as I anticipated. Young chap came and took my order, extremely polite, pleasant and with a smile. Had my poached eggs on toast.....superb...and the same guy who served me took payment. Still smiling and wishing me a good day. How rare and probably why they are busy. Great food and good value. I did try to leave a comment via their website. ....not as user friendly as their staff! What ever they do training wise works. Well done.

We arrived around 12.30 and were able to get a table although the place was fairly busy and the meals looked nice. We'd been online before and the Cornish slab seemed to be very popular so we chose that and a cup of tea and pop. We were served very promptly by a lovely young girl and the food came very soon after. The portions were plentiful and the food was delicious. My daughter had apple pie and cream for pudding and that was again an ample portion that even she struggled to finish. I was able to bring my remaining Cornish slab home in a box as I was too full to finish it. We would definitely go again.

We had passed this place many times and decided to call in for Lunch one day.My only issue with this place was the amount of time before we were served, especially as the Staff had time to chat amongst themselves.I chose Steak and Kidney pie, my wife chose the Cottage pie, both were served with ample Vegetables and a Gravy Boat between us.My pie was wonderful short crust pastry and really full of Steak and Kidney.We also had a lovely dessert, mine Bilberry Pie, my wife opting for the Fruit Cake with Wensleydale Cheese.One comment on the truly wonderful and ample coffee, it was as good as you could hope to find.

Just love Asa Nicholsons.....It is old fashioned good food. We recently moved back to Yorkshire to live from Wales. I couldn't wait to return to the tea rooms....wasn't disappointed....lovely lunch Thank you

I was quite disappointed with this café. The inside was gloomy so I sat outside on a picnic bench. It was waitress service only but as I was outside and nobody could see me, I went inside to give my order. I was firstly ignored, then snapped at and told to wait. Finally an irritable lady took my order; a cake from a small uninspiring selection (it is a bakery!) and a coffee. The coffee was nice but the Victoria sponge was filled with fake cream. Nowhere to lock my bike so fastened it to the picnic bench.

Good freshly prepared food,good and fast service.No frills but a good clean little restaurant,busy so this tells a story.One small complaint,my partner said the ladies toilet left a lot to be desired.

Good service, lovely food. Best bit is lovely bread, freshly baked in the bakery. We visit with family every couple of weeks

No mass produced rubbish here. It's a great place and all the bread, cakes and extras are excellent. I'd recommend the Russian slice, rum truffles , vanilla slices but basically anything you choose , you'll like .. Top spot and very traditional:)

I'll admit this is a regular port of call. Asa's gives that old fashioned, quiet no fuss tea room feeling. Service was quick and polite, my egg banjo had three golden yolk beauties in a meal size fresh baked tea cake. Pot of tea for one with two bags and a pot of hot water for a top up. A visit to the bakery shop ensured an expansion of the waist line. If you expect: chrome, neon and piped musak then carry on down to McPlastic food and leave room for those of us that enjoy old fashioned service.

Visit regularly with in laws, nice friendly atmosphere and always enjoy the food, very reasonably priced as well

We were recommended to visit so were surprised to find a crowded cafe slightly grubby with dated decor. The waitress did not know what "haverbread" was as listed on the menu - but we ordered one anyway, and a further hot sandwich and tea for two. The tea arrived promptly although the milk was in a teapot the same as the hot water. My tea ended up extra milky as I got muddled. After a long wait - during which I wandered over to look at the small cake display - then waited again - we asked how much longer we would have to wait. Our order had disappeared - we never did find out what haverbread was as we left. The couple on the next table said they had lost their order once too - but the food was worth the risk. Fortunately the bakery shop next door was open and had delicious Cornish pasties, bilberry pie and vanilla slices!

Called in one saturday lunch for coffee,the resteraunt was about half full and we found a table and waited at least 15 mins before being approached by waitress.We ordered 1 latte 1 tea took ages to come.When the latte arrived it was loads of froth covering what only can be described as warm tastless milk.I did notice when people arrive and sit down no staff take any notice,we saw 2 people leave never ordering anything.When we went to pay we returned coffee to show how poor it was,the young lad on the till was more bothered about table number than quality of drink we were complaining about,heh even just carried on as if nothing was wrong and charged for both drinks.It was only when we repated complaint he knocked price of coffee off.In my opinion this place needs someone in charge making sure all tables are attended to and how to deal with complaints would help.

well asa nicholsons yo done it again you excelled yourselves, both me and mum had your famous Cornish slab chips and peas and vanilla slice, and a special big thanks to abbey for her kindness and waiting on us, this was the first of our 2016 visits.

I called in for lunch on my way back from Bradford and had tea and a nicholson vanilla slice. Both were fantastic. Service was excellent and the tea rooms were quite busy, much busier than i expected them to be on a Wednesday afternoon. Very nice, i will call in again soon.

We come here quite a lot for breakfast and always enjoy it. Decent sized portions and good value for money, friendly staff and good service.

both me and my mother are disabled and treat ourselves to Asa Nicholson about once a month or two to spoil ourselves ,and I would highly recommend the corned beef slab and there fresh cream cakes mmmm, plus the fact if you time it right you can actually see them baking everything, the staff are also friendly plus they also have a bakery shop .

Was heading out for pub lunch with a friend, but saw the crowded car park and thought we would give this place a try. We werent sure what to expect, and well it's a cafe... I expected more home baked on display, but it reminded me of the old fashioned truck cafes. We had the 'homemade' soup, mushroom - and this was NOT homemade, and it was not nice either! The tea was stewed within an inch of its life yuck. We had the Quiche, which was homemade and in all fairness nice BUT it was served with frozen chips, now for the price we paid we could have had a pub lunch.I can't understand how this place is so popular, it was almost full - unless it was good once and has gone downhill badly...

Ate a the restaurant and have bought treats at the shop. Excellent down to earth Yorkshire food enormous jacket potatoes and a good cup of tea, the bakery sells tempting baked goods to take home. The scenery on the drive over is lovely too!

Great local home made food , well prepared and served . Great service and good atmosphere . Will come again regularly

I went Saturday Morning 18/7/15 with my girlfriend who had lived in the area for 30 years since she was a child. When it describes itself as a tea room you get the impression of friendly staff serving tea and cakes and light and airy environment. What I saw was abit of a dirty road side cafe really. When we arrived it wasn't clear as to did you find a table and someone would come take your order or did you go to the till order pay and someone brought you your food? Since nobody said hello when you walked in instead just walking past barging you out the way and there was menus on the table we assumed you just found a table and someone would come take an order. We waited a good ten minutes and nobody came to us so my girlfriend went to the till and still wasn't acknowledged. We decided to sack it off at this point and just get a few cakes from shop next door. I cannot comment on the food as clearly they weren't in the mood for service. The staff in the shop were friendly though. Maybe they should go work in the cafe next door sorry I mean 'tearoom'. Won't be going back I reckon.

Having lived within walking distance of Asa Nicholson's for over 30 years I had always wanted to walk up for a pig of tea and a homemade scone or slice of cake. My boyfriend and I decided to do this on Saturday morning. On arrival we walked in - were not acknowledged by anyone and it was difficult to see whether you just found a table and sat down and were served or whether you were supposed to just order at the counter.Since there were menus on the tables we just sat down and had a look through the menu. The tearoom wasn't busy - maybe a third full. No one approached us to try and take our order so in the end (a good 10 minutes later) I got up with my purse and went to the till/counter to try and order. No one acknowledged us, despite the fact I was stood with money in my hand wanting to order drinks. We waited there about 5 minutes before deciding to leave. Not a friendly smile or a 'hello'. I can't comment on quality of food/drinks because I never got served. In the end we went next door to the bakery shop and got scones to talk home. The staff in the shop were very polite and helpful - shame the same couldn't be said for the actual tearoom.

I have been here 3 or 4 times this year and quite a few times the previous.To start i must say, i believe this is the best place for a breakfast anywhere in West Yorkshire. All the produce is from local farmers, the bacon, sausage, eggs are all of high quality. Thick, tasty and cooked however you like.The large breakfast is in fact large. And great value for money.I recommend this place to all friends and family. And have taken family who also rated this place very high.Great food, location and value

Tearoom within bakery. Highly recommend breakfast!!!! Locally sourced and great quality products. Cakes lovely too!!
