Nostell Cafe in Wakefield

Great toasted sandwich and service

Nice cafe food always nice Can be on pricey side but it's the same at most national trust places. They have nice outdoor area and now allow dogs which makes it alot easier for me since I usually ho walking dog

Great café, lovely staff, definitely worth a visit

Tasty and very enjoyable every time.

Handy for a quick takeaway drink. Can be very busy in better weather. The outside courtyard is a great spot when the weather is good.

Excellent cafe homemade soup and cheese scone recommended

Lovely food options, if a bit pricey. Great vegan options, though be careful when ordering the vegan toastie as they brought me a dairy one by accident. The vegan cheese is bright yellow so look out for that. Comes with vegan coleslaw! The vegan fruit scone is gorgeous and comes with an adorable little jar of jam.

Had raspberry and ginger scones, which were vegan (I'm not), but was interested that despite staff not knowing if I was vegan or not, I was just given normal butter for the scones, Scones were tasty, but heavy and dry. Hot drinks served from a machine. Service slow as always. Decent enough, but far from the nest cafe across NT properties.

Ridiculously expensive. There is no way you need to charge £2.30 for a can of coke. Then £5 for a sandwich and the bread was dry and hard. Soured the lovely day.

Really nice place for tea and cake. Plenty of seating inside and outside, located within the courtyard. Reasonably priced.

Nice place a little slow serving due to the complicated coffee machines

Queues. Such a shame the staff are excellent and the food ok but expensive.

Ate at the lovely cafe at the opposite end if the courtyard to the main cafe. Same scrummy sausage rolls and scones, half the waiting time

Tiny slice of all butter shortcake (slightly doughy) £2.50 and a whole batch of unwashed tea cups. £30 for snack lunch for 2. No members discount. Not my choice

Cold hot chocolate and cold jacket potato while outside is 4 degrees

Much like every National Trust café in existence there's a queue out the door, and you can expect to wait 20 minutes just to order let alone eat. I wish National Trust would do something about café queues, perhaps they could have an app. The main courses were absolutely top notch, a tasty one pot and a Cornish pasty very much worthy of the name, but the the "Blossom Cake" we had was disappointing a plain sponge which didn't taste even if vanilla, way too much unflavoured butter cream and a touch of lemon curd. I would still recommend using the cafe, it is an integral part of the National trust existence experience but you should probably stick to the delicious mains.
