Queen's Mill Tea Rooms in Wakefield

Really nice cafe with a good atmosphere ( mazzy star on radio ) just had a sandwich wish we had tried cakes but didn’t realise there was a good cake selection until o read reviews on here . Service was fab and made our dog very welcome .

We popped in on the off chance for a late brekkie...but were just too late for eggs...but they very kindly said they would make us some poached eggs...and they were lovely! So thankyou! See you again soon!

Really Enjoyed our food! We had 2 Afternoon tea stands and it was even available in a gluten free range which was great for my sister in laws needs. All of the food and cakes were really tasty. My nana ordered jacket potato cheese and beans and she devoured it! The cakes are delicious. The view of the river is really nice out the window as you eat and drink. Staff very friendly! Thankyou!

I get brownies wherever I go but the world famous brownie is by far the best. I also enjoy the cheese and ham toasty it is class.Would definitely recommend going to the quality queens mill.

Very disappointed with the slow service. After asking to order twice, five drinks finally arrived at different times, followed by desserts again at different times and the kids brownies were not even brought. The staff member asked us if everything was ok and when told not really, she said "sorry, it's a bit chaotic". There were only four tables occupied and the three ladies at another table complained they had been waiting 30 minutes for their orders. A shame they didn't take the complaints on board.

We called in the tea rooms during our walk with the dog! The staff were really friendly and attentive! I had a hot chocolate and an omelette and my family had cake! My hot chocolate was lovely and my omelette was delicious! Would definitely come back!

Extremely long wait to be served. Had to ask twice to order & after second time, the girl went to serve people who had been waiting 20 minutes just to place their order, so we left. On previous visits found food okay but overpriced & the service is slow & staff abit rude & disinterested. I won't bother trying here again.

I visited today with my friend and our visit was disappointing. We ordered drinks alongside the food, my drink never arrived. When pointing this out and the end of the meal there were no apologies just shrugged shoulders. I ordered a Brie and bacon panini and made a point twice of asking for extra crispy bacon. We ordered some children’s platters and my friend also ordered a panini. The service was extremely slow maybe four other tables in, the kids were getting restless and when asking where our food was the response was “it’ll be two minutes” no apologies - bit of a cold response. At over £6 for a panini I was very disappointed to see my panini had arrived with only one slice of uncrispy bacon. We left feeling like we had not got value for money and will not be returning any time soon.

I visited the cafe whilst on a charity bike ride, the lady that served me started conversation and I informed her that I was taking part, she then kindly bought a slice of cake and coffee, but more importantly she also donated towards the charity. I will be 100% returning just to support this local business, she really has made my day!

My husband & I were given afternoon tea for 2 as a wedding gift.We enjoyed it except for the fact we never got asked what kind of bread we’d like our sandwiches made from.We both hate seeded brown bread & the majority of the sandwiches were made of this bread.For us that really spoilt what would have been an excellent tea.Maybe it would be an advantage to maybe ask people before booking their preferences in choice of bread.Apart from that it was most enjoyable.

Breakfast was OK, small for the price compared to other local cafes. Service was extremely slow!!!!!! Took 2 hours to have breakfast and a scone (scone was amazing)

Perfect place. Always welcoming, always lovely fresh food. The only fault I could find (and this can't be helped) is that it would be nice to have an outside space that's not facing the road - car parking.

Popped in for breakfast whilst cycling recently. We were greeted with a smile by the lovely staff. We were lucky enough to be seated next to the window. What a great view of the river. I opted for the full English, which was absolutely great. My friend went for scrambled eggs with poached salmon on toast equally lovely. We were served tea in vintage tea pots and China cups and saucers, beautiful. We will definitely return again. Thank you😊

I will start this review, by saying that the Staff are lovely. The coffee and tea is good. Called today for breakfast. My wife asked for a well done bacon sandwich. When it came, the bacon wasn't well done. It was cut into quarters with salad and crisps......weird. I asked for the full breakfast, with soft scrambled eggs. When it came, the eggs had obviously been microwaved, and were cold. The bacon was barely cooked, with watery white slime on it. The sausages were not very well cooked. The beans were cold and the chopped fresh tomatoes were strange. The whole breakfast was cold. We left all of it. I wouldn't revisit....very poor.

As a local resident, I'd walked past the Tearooms a few times and made a mental note to visit at some point. I decided to pop in recently, on a Saturday morning, shortly after it had opened at 10am. The staff were all friendly and pleasant, and the decor was cosy, with the crockery reminding me of being at my nans - not a bad thing! I'd certainly recommend the tasty food and drink - the brie and bacon panni was particularly yum! My only slight concern was that, despite being quiet, the service was rather slow.

Booked the gentlemans afternoon tea for 4 people for mum's birthday. We had booked for 2pm so.not too busy sat by the window overlooking the river which was pleasant. When taking our order we advised the staff that one of our party cannot eat cheese or chocolat. This was no problem at all and provided alternate sandwiches and cakes. There was more than plenty of food serves on lovely tiered cages so much so we brought some home with us. We had as much tea and coffee as we wanted. The staff were extrely friendly and attentive Would definitely return and recommend to others

My partner and I wanted to head out for a nice coffee and light lunch so decided on this place on recomendation but I must say we were extremely disappointed. First impressions, the venue was pleasant but in need on a freshen up. No sooner had we sat down the waitress was at our table wanting to take our order but we hadn't even looked at the menu, we asked for some time but was then left and had to ask to order. We both opted for coffee, which was good although one of the teaspoons that it was served with had a stain on it as if it hadn't been cleaned. The menu was basic but we settled on sandwiches. My partner had a ham salad and found her bread was soggy and I opted for cheese and chutney which was nice but the cheese was in big chunks and not dispersed evenly so some bits were just bread. The salad was clearly not fresh and the cucumber had gone soft and discoloured which put me off the salad completely. Definitely would not classify as a tea room, I have eaten at better cafes in Castleford.

Visited for the first time today to celebrate with family . Food was delicious, less sarnies and a lit more of a selection of savoury would have made it top notch … quiche or pie please 😂 Service was fine but we had to return some items to be cleaned , fingerprints & lipstick not good but was sorted quickly although the member of staff dealing with us initially could do with some customer service training 😳 the overall experience was nice and we would return .

My husband booked an afternoon tea for 3 adults and a child and it was absolutely scrumptious! A lovely selection of sandwiches (my favourite been the Brie & grape ) and a beautiful cup cake , scone and selection of smaller cakes presented beautifully . The staff were very welcoming and friendly and we were catered for extremely rapidly on what was steadily becoming a busy day ! Loved the little addition of a gift for mum was very thoughtful ! Will be back again shortly .

We have eaten twice here recently for lunch and both times had a good meal. The restaurant can get busy so it is useful to book a table, especially if you want a river view.

Five of us arrived for lunch and we were put on a table over looking the river, so the view was great. The choice of food was nice and the sandwiches we chose were really nice and beautifully garnished, the staff are really friendly and...

Really lovely!! Was particularly nice weather anyway but we sat outside! Cup of tea, full English!! Was lovely. Everything cooked really nice! 2 runny eggs!! Can’t complain at all!! Will definitely go again.

We were up in Castleford and visited the tea rooms serval times The food is always fantastic Lovely quality Love the ploughman's lunch really nice ingredients Also tried the afternoon tea which was excellent too Always look forward to our visit when we come up...

Venue, service, food and drink all excellent we had the most lovely baby shower. Would definitely recommend.

Made a last minute booking and was easily accommodated, the food was lovely and a cup of tea in a proper tea cup. It was my dads birthday and he even got a slice off cake with a candle along with some happy birthday singing...

I visited on Thursday with my daughter and grandchildren. We had a lovely lunch and was picking a cake with my 3 year old grandson when we could hear shouting coming from the owner, Lana who was shouting at the owner of the business next...

Absolutely lovely people, great decor and fantastic breakfast. We had the eggy bread breakfast and a dessert cause the cake looked so good! (Tasted good too). Options for lactose intolerant. Really accommodating. Highly recommend.

First visit to Queens Mill definitely won't be the last good choice as well as specials, the prawn and smoked salmon sandwich was delicious.

Another great visit. All the food was excellent from jacket potatoes , to omelette and sandwiches. 10/10 for the blackberry crumble and custard. Great to see you asked for COVID details too.

70/80s night. Fabulous night out 3 course meal was superb, with a great atmosphere and entertainment to boot. Can highly recommend.

Had been told about the Tea Room,we had Scone and cream, one would have been enough for two people.it is also dog friendly, we took our Shihtzu in with us and she was given biscuits. Will certainly go again.

A lovely afternoon tea for two,good selection of sandwiches on white and brown bread.Lovely assortment of cakes and no scrimping on the jam or clotted cream for the scones.Our first visit,not our last.

Had saturday morning catch up with a friend for coffee. Got there at 12 noon and it was empty but that soon changed and became very busy. Lovely place, very clean and good service. We both had 2 lattee coffees each plus scones with jam...

Cooked breakfast was lovely and well presented it could just have been a little warmer when served Lady who served us was lovely and the teapot for 3 was huge so plenty of cups for us both. We will return

Visited as a family of 4, we ordered 1 panini, 1 sandwich, 1 jacket potato and one child’s breakfast 3 cokes and a coffee. Lots of things sold out. Service slow despite many staff. Panini came with the incorrect filling (ordered cheese and tomato and came as cheese and tuna) it took 20 minutes to correct and when it came they must have run out of panini rolls as it came as a brown roll put in panini press with a little cheese and 1 cherry tomato in it!!!! Jacket potato was clearly warmed up and slimy. Sandwich and childs breakfast were very basic, edible but that’s the best we could say.We asked for the bill and it was over £30!!!! Much much better and more reasonable places to go locally, we won’t be returning and would advise strongly to avoid!

The setting here is lovely with a view of the canal . The staff were friendly however not equipped to host a large party. This was booked well in advance and numbers given . They didn’t have enough staff and really struggled especially with providing the basics like a cup of tea! We were waiting a long time for a drink , which should have been served before the food or at least the same time. The tea cups were that small,that the tea was drank in two mouthfuls and so began the waiting again. Teapots should have been provided for everyone to help themselves .The finger sandwiches were nice and a good variety, served with a side salad and a few crisps .The cakes weren’t anything special ,in-fact some were very dry and everything had butter cream with it . Not great if you don’t like butter cream. The fruit scones came ready assembled with jam and cream . So again not everyone’s taste . They should could separately for individual taste. I won’t have afternoon tea there again, but would call in for a drink and sandwich provided it’s not busy .

Having always enjoyed our visits to the tearoom, we were very disappointed this time we.We both ordered a bacon sandwich which we requested the bacon to be crispy and two hot drinks Our drinks arrived straight away which was good. But then we were sat waiting for our sandwichesThere were to couples at either side of us having breakfasts and I noticed they both had left their sausagesOne couple complained to the waitress that the sausages were still frozen in the middle and asked if they could have some more bacon instead which they unfortunately didn’t receiveThey complained again which the waitress and apologised and knocked some money of their billWhen our sandwiches finally arrived we had finished our drinksThe presentation of the sandwiches looked nice, but it was just like eating a ham sandwich. The bacon was cold and softI complained to the waitress who offered to make us some more sandwiches but by then we had lost all confidence that the sandwiches would be how we would like them the waitress knocked the price of our drinks off for us been disappointed with the food it’s a real shame that the standard of the food as dropped as that we won’t be visiting again.

Definitely recommend the Queens mill tea rooms. View of the river. Staff friendly.cakes and sandwiches delicious. We're making it a regular visit.

The meal was fine in pleasant surroundings but service was poor. After waiting for quite a while at a table a couple arrived at another table and were immediately approached by a waitress who had to walk past me for their order. Only they weren’t ready to order and she then proceeded to have a chat with them. She told them she would come back and was going to walk back past me without asking if I would like to order. I thought this was rude and will not be returning.

Booked a table of 4 for a special afternoon tea birthday treat. The tea room was very busy with both reserved and walk in customers. Waited 45 minutes before anyone acknowledged us sitting at the empty table. When asked how much longer our booking would take apparently it was late due to our special order of cheese and egg sandwiches!!!!??? Two teapots of tea was brought out half an hour before our food therefore the remainder we had left was cold. The afternoon tea was absolutely rubbish the quality of sandwiches and cakes were of poor quality:everything bought in albeit the scone. No cutlery was provided had to get up yet again and grab our own.To add further insult they added an extra pot of tea to the bill that we requested to drink once our food arrived. Our special outing was ruined by poor quality food and customer service.Will never visit again, such a let down.

Absolutely disgusted, there was not much to write about the afternoon tea it was disappointing, however the staff were much worse. Having made the booking 3 weeks prior and were to be given a window seat we were told by a girl with dark brown hair in plaits that they knew nothing of our booking and that despite there being a seat empty by the window we couldn’t have it as this was for another party if 3, After asking for the manager and being told she wasn’t there, then asking for the person in charge to be given a blank expression which just added to this persons rudeness nd who continuously be argumentative a lovely lady told us to go sit down at the window, it was all a terrible experience and one which I would not like to go through again so I would stay well clear if you wNt a nice afternoon tea

What a lovely place.staff great and food was amazing and evet were was clean. Was hoping to have a sandwhich and cake but just had a sandwhich due to size of it. The sandwhich and salad were fresh. Next time i go i will be asking if i could have a slice of cake to take home cause they looked so lovely.

It’s a lovely little spot and could be really special, I think the menu is a bit basic really, it feels like it’s the sort of sandwiches that I would make at home. But what there is, is nice and well presented. The place has a nice feel to it too. Personally I would return but simply because the menu is too plain for me.

So it's been a while since we first visited but have been twice now in a week.What changes there have been! The seating area is twice as big with two tables overlooking the River Aire!Food looks lovely but as we were there just for coffee I chatted with other customers.One couple were having the "afternoon tea", which they said was lovely and better value than other places they'd visited! My husband had the toasted fruit bread which he really enjoyed!Great history of Queens Mill formerly a working flour mill but there are many other activities within the Mill so check it out on line! A lovely place for coffee or lunch and with nice weather you can sit out as well.

My mum and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea today. I have had a fair few at various places over the years but this was by far the best at a really reasonable price Lovely selection of sandwiches and cakes and scones. Everything was just lovely. The sandwiches were freshly made with soft bread and were delicious (crusts cut off which was nice) .Huge pot of tea too. We were lucky enough to be on a window seat overlooking the river. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Great service all round. We will definitely be back with the rest of the family. I also noticed they do afternoon tea gift vouchers - one to definitely bear in mind!

First ever visit and I would definitely recommend. The staff are really helpful, caring and lovely. Me and some friends had afternoon tea and the food and service was spot on. The only downside was the parking. We did all get parked but it was a bit tricky

My husband and I made a visit as have passed it several times. Table service by a lovely young lady very polite and helpful. I had a pot of green tea and a raspberry and white chocolate scone with jam and cream. Was warm and delicious on a cold January afternoon. My husband had the Victoria sponge. Fab big portion and couldn't resist going halves on each! Friendly atmosphere, undergoing a bit of work on loo facilities. Didn't try any cooked food so can't comment but for a cuppa and cake was lovely

Thought we would visit here after a couple of hours painting pottery next doorFirst impressions unclean toilets little disappointing, that does need sorting outNo table service! placed our order at the counter, received our tea and bacon sandwhich in 15mins then had to chase after another 20 mins for the rest of the order! which were 3 cakes for the others in our group (they were not having hot food) millions of excuses but sorry we had to have bacon cooked and plated up all fancy that would of took time they could of managed to plate up 3 cakes in this time to complete our order. Other guests also were missing cakes they had drinks but no cakes!! to me in a tea room cake and a cuppa go together dont they!!! Staff said thats not how the boss wanted it serving!!! Definitely would be going back there so many other nicer places to go....terrible service think twice you may be waing for cake to not arrive!!!

We were visiting Castleford with friends and came across Queen's Mill Tea Room almost by accident - as it popped up on Google Maps. Although the initial external appearance from the road is slightly 'industrial' (not surprising given the Mill heritage!), it proved to be a superb tea room. Despite them having birthday parties in, we were accommodated and quickly served; absolutely delicious scones - and with clotted cream too!We returned the following day for a soup and crusty bread lunch with a slice of homemade cake to follow. All delicious again.If you get the chance, aim for a table with a view over the river, but to be honest, the tea and cakes were good enough even if you don't get the view!

Booked for the Sunday Jaz brunch, tickets quickly sold out for this event. The young singer was very good and created a good atmosphere.The food was lovely, the special corned beef hash with fried eggs was so yummy and filling as was the full english.Have also enjoyed lunch here on a couple of times and always come away happy and full!

I was bought afternoon tea as a present, and i have to say it’s one of the best I have had. There was so much choice and we couldn’t finish what we were given so they gladly wrapped the treats up so we could take them home. Staff were super friendly! Will definitely be returning.

The mill is a nice looking building, and I got some wholemeal flour they grind there, looking forward to baking some bread with it.

We booked afternoon tea here for my Mums birthday and will definitely be back. It was so nice, the food was excellent and staff we very friendly. Highly recommended.

Myself, my daughter and grandaughters visited here today for afternoon tea and were absolutely delighted with the selection of sandwiches and cakes. The warm, freshly baked scones and delicious date and walnut cake were outstanding and the childrens platter did not fail to please. All this washed down with enough tea to sink a battleship. We will definitely be back again.

My husband and I visited on a Sunday lunch time, we had heard very good things about the cafe. We were not disappointed the afternoon tea was delicious, beautiful cakes and a lovely section of sandwiches. A gentleman from the cafe showed us around the building next door which will house a music room and a boat house, what a lovely man who is obviously enthusiastic about the community. We would highlybreccomend a visit and we will definitely be returning.

Best tea room around!! Gorgeous food that gets better every time I visit. Beautiful presentation and care taken. Great staff with excellent customer service. The view of the river is a piece of excellence which will deliver diversity and success. Great job guys :)

Lovely Tea Rooms and Great choice of Gluten Free Cakes and there is now a great view over the river with two new big picture windows

What a lovely place to go for breakfast, really friendly service from Anna, food cooked to perfection, will call again soon

Visited both before and after they have renovated the tea rooms. Definitely more spacious and feels a brighter space now. The view over the river and weir is fantastic. The staff are friendly and the food is good, everything looks fresh and appetising. Plently of car parking and outdoor seating. The toilets and the corridor up to them could do with a bit of paint and sprucing up. And some of the tables could do with moving slightly to allow a bit more space between seats. But other than that a fantastic venue! Would definitely recommend!

This place is a good effort at the chintzy, shabby chic, I think. It is hampered by the Aire Street setting as its such a bust road, so if you want to sit at the outdoor tables you have the traffic noise and fumes to contend with. The mill itself is a significant piece of local history, but sadly a quite ugly one, peering down at you while you enjoy afternoon tea. So the immediate surroundings work against this establishment, to an extent. I like the interior, staff were helpful and talkative. I'll certainly go back.

Me & my boyfriend visited for lunch, so disappointed from the moment we walked in! The decor was tasteless, and old fashioned. Other local tearooms/cafes are very classy and tasteful, such as Twisted Tree or Bake My Day. The waitress came over and said ‘can I start you out with some drinks’ naturally we ordered, she then responded with ‘oh so are you not wanting any food’?! I tried to order a jacket potato with beans & cheese, to be told they don’t have jackets on a Tuesday because they close on a Wednesday so it’s simply what ever is left. As an alternative I ordered a panini, my partner ordered a small stone-baked pizza. It took 25mins to reach our table, my panini was burnt to a crisp, and my partners pizza was drenched in oil! Nobody came to ask how our food was or if we required more drinks. I had to approach the kitchen area in order to pay, and when doing so the waitresses were simply sat eating lunch (it was 1:30pm)I will never return and would recommend nobody tries this place!

Disappointed to say the least, have left this review from previous visit to see if things had improved but alas no they hadn't. We called in today for a small lunch to put us on until my evening birthday tea. Having order chicken ceased salad wraps we waited an hour for them to appear,although the staff were apologetic and gave us a free drink it did not justify an hours wait for what was basically a sandwich. The food was tasteless and accompanied by crisps, tiny side salad and a strawberry that looked like it was on its last legs. In fairness to the two staff that were working they had to do everything, take orders, prepare the food, clear tables, wash up by hand and take the money. I am sure problems could be solved by employing more staff as this was a quiet day when we were there. I will not be returning.

Lovely friendly staff food is good and presented well.coffee could be warmer and should be served with the meal.point to be remembered next time we call.

We have been to the Queens mill on a few occasions now for the themed nights and they are great, the hosts are fun and very friendly and the food and staff are excellent.

Been waiting to come here for ages, cycled down from Normanton, sat outside in the sun. Ordered afternoon tea and drinks, drinks arrived....then we waited and waited and waited some more........drinks gone....one other couple asked why the wait, soon they were told so we expected ours soon. Nope.....after about 45 mins we enquired inside where our food was "what food" was the reply...oh come on there was only one other order and the lady who took our order came and sat by our empty table, to join coincidentally, another staff member(we assume he worked as he did clear a table to sit at) who had decided to have a cig on the table next to us! We told them to leave the order we we're leaving. To be honest we felt unsure as soon as we arrived, tables unset and not clean , no spoon to stir coffee, tables cleared but not wiped, staff smoking at customer tables. I always think a company can be judged by how it deals with failure, we left disappointed and annoyed, I think they should have done more to ensure that was not the case. In balance they didn't charge for the drinks however I can't see us returning after today.

We spotted the tea room as we were driving past and I'm glad we did.Staff were lovely.They kids meal was huge with plenty of choice on there for them.I had a club sandwich and it was delicious and the portions size was big too with crisps and salad.I had a cup of tea and it wasn't red hot I would of preferred it warmer to last through my dinner but we will be visiting again....oh almost forgot I had a warm brownie with clotted cream....wow....amazing!!

Had a lovely Mothers day afternoon tea, with my daughter Julie, Granddaughter Charlotte and my daughters Mother -in- law Sheila. Lovely selection of sandwiches and cakes, presented on a pretty cake stand. A nice glass of proscecco to compliment it. Plus tea or coffee. The staff were friendly too. A good day was had by all. Thankyou Julie.

Nice little tea rooms with vintage style decor. Food great and not overpriced. A bit of a squash with the pushchairs but otherwise child friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go back.

I visited here with my mum for some lunch after seeing the reviews on trip advisor and it certainly didn't disappoint! Great portions of fresh homemade food. Will definitely be coming back!

Went for afternoon tea with my mum and my daughter, lovely choice of sandwiches, unlimited tea and coffee and delicious cakes, lovely staff. I would highly recommend.

Didnt want Costa or any other outlet at Junction 32. Spotted the team room on Trip Advisor and what a find. The entrance is a bit 'understated' but inside is a quintessential tea room although we arrived at lunctime so did not have the aternoon tea - but it looked amazing ordered by others. Very friendly staff, wide selection menue we plumped for a club sandwitch and a plowman's lunch. Excellent quality and massive portions. A definate keeper in my sat nav. Highly recommended.

Only small but very impressive the homemade scones are to die for an impressive menu for a small tea room and the greeting you will receive is anything but small. Staff are attentive and give friendly and helpful advice will most definitely go here again

This little place is next to what was Allisons flour Mill on Aire Street. Be careful as you could miss it. We went along with friends in the evening. The tea rooms managed only just, to squeeze 30 people into it. We had to order what we were having beforehand and book a time. The tea rooms are very quaint but what makes this place are the people who run it, a husband and wife team. Very, very helpful and friendly. The tables had table cloths on them and all was very nice. However one group of around ten were in their 30's and rather noisy so not altogether my cup of tea, being an oldy. The drinks were inexpensive a bottle of wine £15. The food was fine and not at all over priced. Would I go again? Yes I would but they are expanding shortly and I may wait until that is all complete.

Fabulous time had by all at the festive evening. Delicious food, fun christmas quiz and wonderful, warm hosts. The best baileys coffee ever! Merry Christmas!

Our first visit to the Old Mill tea rooms.They have totally exceeded my expectations,with its gorgeous interior,wonderful service & most importantly high cleanliness.We both felt instantly looked after with very attentive service.Our meals... full breakfast & tuna + cheese pannie were beautifully presented,hot and very tasty.Finished off with a reviving pot of tea in vintage crockery.Great value...will differently visit again & recommend friends☺thank-you.

I planned afternoon tea for my parents 40th anniversary On the day we called down with balloons banners, cake, and flowers to decorate the area up. Friends came down while my husband went to collect my parents. We sat at the entrance and once they walked in there saw who was sat there it was amazing!The staff were so helpful in organising this with us. The food was fantastic as we had afternoon teas and pizza for the kids. A great atmosphere in a great place.

Visited with my daughter and granddaughters for an afternoon treat,staff are very friendly and the menu has lots to choose from.the presentation of the food is excellent and there is so much .the children's meals are brilliant and such variety served on a slate like an individual afternoon tea .homemade cakes are delicious .it is well worth a visit you won't be disappointed.

Came here for an afternoon lunch child free. It was cute and cosy inside with bunting, fairy lights and vintage crockery. We both ate from the specials board and had a fabulous lunch. Prices were around £7/8 for lunch or afternoon tea looked lovely £11.Not much room for children or prams but would definitely recommend.

Passed the tea rooms in Aire Street a few times but as it was after our normal lunch time & feeling peckish we called in.Hubby had a ham & cheese omelette,this came with salad,lovely fresh ham in it,I had a bowl of Brocoli & stilton soup with a crusty baguette with 2 pats of butter to spread on ,also came with croutons,soup was very tasty.I also had a scone with jam & cream,scone was really fresh & crumbly,hubby had a slice of home made butterscotch cake which he really enjoyed.I had a pot of tea which I got 2 cups from,hubby had a latte,this was large & very good he said.Total cost £22.The staff were so friendly & chatty,service was good,felt really at home & would recommend & we'll be calling in again.

Looking for a suitable local venue for an afternoon tea to celebrate my father in law's 88th birthday. We found this on Trip Advisor right on our doorstep and certainly were not disappointed. We were able to book (for 9) in advance and have tables reserved. The staff were all very welcoming and good hosts and the whole place is decorated in a charming way. We ordered afternoon teas for everyone, there is a full range of hot and cold drinks, both soft and alcoholic and they catered for individuals food preferences. Drinks came first followed shortly after by each of our food served on a 3 tier stand. These contained a mix of crust-less sandwich quarters with rocket and mixed salad dressing, a selection of cakes with the obligatory fruit cake and mature cheddar cheese, topped off with a scone, clotted cream and jam and all of the food is homemade. To top off the celebration and a surprise to the whole party all of the staff came out with a large slice of cake and candle and sang happy birthday, to which we all joined in. Recommended and you will be doing your bit to support this enterprise from the Castleford Heritage Trust.

On a day trip from yeadon to Castleford.Never been to Castleford before and when we were in the Castleford museum we were told about the Queens mill tea rooms, otherwise we would not have known it was there.We can be unlucky eating out, so we hoped for the best.Soup of the day was tomato and husband ordered that and it was tomato and basil.It came with croutons and 4 chunks of lovely fresh baguette and a nice large portion of butter.Glad it wasn't a tiny wrapped butter which goes nowhere.I ordered a sausage sandwich in white bread.It came as 4 or was it 5? triangular sandwiches in triple bread.They were lovely and different.Also on the plate was crisps, salad, coleslaw separate ( I don't like it, so separate is good) and good that the salad did not have balsamic vinegar poured over it, as I don't like that either.We ordered 1 tea and we were brought 2 China teacups, which was nice as we only ordered 1 tea.Meant we didn't have to share 1 teacup.There was loads of tea and we were asked if we needed more hot water but we didn't.There was a stray tea leaf in my empty cup and also my husband's empty cup when they were brought. Which we had to remove.But we left full and happy.Will visit again if in castleford.

Had lunch and afternoon tea & cakes, what a surprise! Food was near excellent, had a mix of chicken & chirzo kebab and salmon & prawn kebab with salad for lunch which was cooked to perfection. Stayed for afternoon tea and was amazed by variety and quality of home cooked cakes, along with delicious sandwiches. If you are in the area well worth popping in!!

Food was nice, large portions. The coffee however was very disappointing. We ordered Cappuccino and got a large cup of warm milk with some froth on top. The majority of the milk had no texture what so ever. Surprised they were open on a bank holiday let alone that I could order from the breakfast menu at 12 O'clock. Perhaps tea and cake is what they are good at but I would advise not ordering a coffee.

Popped into the cafe after visiting the Queens Mill Open Day.The staff are very welcoming. Great as we actually got hot chocolate and this was really tasty. Coffee and crumpets great. Good value for money with great selection of food.We will be going back.

Had a lovely Afternoon Tea for my 50th birthday with close family and it was a lovely afternoon. The food is always fresh and tasty and the tea lovely and hot served in quaint miss matched cups and saucers. The staff and owner are lovely and sing Happy Birthday before your party leaves. Would highly recommend. The only suggestion having been for Afternoon Tea before is maybe a rotating selection of desserts so that you have a chance of a slight variation when you visit..but genuinely well worth a trip.

We found this place to be a lovely place to eat lunch. Quaint decor, nice music, really great food that was presented well. We're planning on taking the same route home to come back again. If you live close enough please try it! We paid £21 for a two course lunch for two with a huge pot of quality tea. Thank you

Can highly recommend the Queens for a coffee or a bite to eat. Popped in on a Saturday and although busy we never felt rushed. The ploughmans was superb value for money. Staff were very welcoming. Would definitely recommend a visit.

I had Afternoon Tea here, with my daughter, a couple of weeks ago. I honestly could not fault it. We were given a choice of sandwiches which were then freshly made. There was so much food we had separate cake stands. The Tea was also unlimited, something you don't often get with Afternoon Tea! All this for only £10.95 each.

Passed this place many times and decided to give it a go. Was spotlessly clean lovely pleasant staff. Tea for two and cake. Pot of tea was huge we didn't finish it. Cake was lovely. Other food coming out of the kitchen looked good. Would recommend.

My friend and I visited today for afternoon tea. It's the only place I have been where I have been asked if there were any particular sandwiches I didn't like. The service was excellent, very friendly and polite. The food was delicious and well worth the price. We will definitely be coming back

A little gem. With a huge ploughman's platter and a ham & cheese omelette and of course a large pot of Yorkshire tea my friend and I enjoyed a great lunch in a delightful location - relaxing and welcoming venue and staff. Very filling lunch. We certainly plan to return to sample the attractive cakes that we didn't have room form!! Thank you.

Came for afternoon tea. Lovely little place with happy helpful staff. Food was brilliant and well worth the price. Definitely recommend and will go again!

When Queens Mill closed, a lot of people held their breathe and wondered what would happen to this local landmark. The mill, best known as Allinson's is a well known stone ground flourmill and it's future looked bleak. A number of people were determined to preserve the mill as a heritage project for future generations, To the side of the mill is the rather more modern and functional looking office block. The space has been turned into a rather nice tearoom, in fact it seems almost like being in someone's homeOn arrival we were met by a rather polite and very friendly lady who settled us at a table and let us have a good look at the menu before taking our order. The menu is varied without trying to overdo the number of choices and there are a number of daily special on the board. There is also a selection of breakfast and lunch items.The food and drinks arrived fairly quickly and we were well impressed. The food was fresh and tasty and all freshly prepared, no sandwiches in plastic wrappers here!They also do a traditional afternoon tea which is quite charming, and quite filling.You can also get a glass of wine if you wish,The crockery was of a domestic variety and not the more commercial/industrial variety that you usually find.This was my first visit but it won't be my last. I would recommend giving it a try and don't be put off by the look from the outside as it's very different inside. Very charming

had lunch here on Thursday last week and it was really nice i had ham and cheese omelette and my husband had ham salad sarnys on bloomer bread both came with side salad , crisps and coleslaw. a latte coffee and a pot of tea . food was very nice staff excellent very talkative and welcoming it came to around £15.00 for all of it and will definitely go again .next time will try the afternoon traditional tea it looked fantastic see you again soon

My daughter and I had afternoon tea here today. We were greeted pleasantly, seated quickly and served courteously. There was a good range of freshly made sandwiches (I particularly enjoyed the prawn; my daughter liked the brie and grape.), a tasty brownie and a still-warm scone. The shortbread tasted home made, but sadly the small pieces of lemon drizzle cake and fruit cake were clearly shop bought. This was particularly disappointing as there were some amazing looking homemade cakes on display. To be fair, the menu made it clear that fruit cake and lemon drizzle cake would be served, but I did expect the tearoom's own cakes.

My sister, her boyfriend and I visited here while in Castleford yesterday afternoon and we thought it was well worth going to. My sister and I had chicken Caesar salad sandwiches apart from her boyfriend who had a different sandwich and we also shared a platter of cheese, grapes and pork pie together. Furthermore, the staff were friendly and even knew me from the last couple of times I visited with my dad! In conclusion, I recommend these tea rooms if you are looking for somewhere nice to go to on an afternoon out like us.

Had lunch at this fabulous little tea room as part of a visit to the mill open day and we highly recommended it. Wife and daughter enjoyed sandwiches and I loved the ploughman's lunch. A gorgeous pot of tea served in a quirky collection of unmatched crockery, and the free top-up hit the spot when some lovely home made cakes finished off our meal. Ignore what you might read about the tight accommodation and speed of service and just settle in for a leisurely lunch in a great little location! Faultless, even on its busiest days.

Me, my mum and brother are visiting here more and more often as it is so lovely. From the outside, I suppose you wouldn't think much of the place now the mill has shut down. The food is of an excellent quality and everything is made from scratch. All members of staff are more than happy to help and make anything to your needs. Everything is fresh produce, some of this being made on the premises. Their baking is a must try, and is beautiful. Last time I visited I had a Brie and caramelised red onion pizza which was lovely- the pizza dough was fresh and cooked to perfection. I have never had afternoon tea there, but it always looks fantastic. For £10 each, you really cannot go wrong, and size of it is huge and would definitely fill two people! The place is a little hidden gem and I will continue to visit. The staff have made the place a lovely place to visit for all ages, and is perfect to drop in for lunch. The place is so cheap, and is seriously underpriced for how good the quality is. Probably my favourite tea room ever.. It beats Betty's out of the water!

Had a wonderful afternoon trip here with my family. I had a great selection of gluten free treats. Great service and lovely coffee too.

myself, my sister, mother, grandma and aunty visited here to try there afternoon tea in celebration of my aunties upcoming 60th birthday. the service was wonderful and the food itself was gorgeous the highlight for me was the Scottish smoked salmon sandwich and the warm scone with jam and cream.
