Seed Room in Wakefield

Lovely food, but a little expensive for what it is.

Love the Seed room Lovely food and cakes. Service always good. Garden centre is well worth a look round too, much cheaper than the big chains

Fantastic and plentiful full English breakfast with everything cooked perfectly. Update: another visit for coffee and cake dod not disappoint. 🙂

Fabulous but a little bit too pricey.

The food was really lovely. I would definitely go again

Try the parkin with Lemon butter cream its to die for . well done chef its amazing

Sausage sandwich was the worst I've had for years. Coffee was excellent.

Good food ..a little loud inside but otherwise no problems

Lovely little place enjoyed the food we had. We had an afternoon tea. Hidden little gem.

Was taken for afternoon tea by my friend. Fantastic selection of gluten free for me. Would recommend to anyone.

Lovely breakfast, fried eggs and the toast were especiallh nice Excellent service! Very friendly staff!

Been here many times great place.. excellent food at an affordable price

Very good service and GREAT food and excellent quality

£10 for a takeaway breakfast sandwich!! Obscene!!

The extension makes it look huge and is better for it. The prices are very reasonable and the food is beautiful. They have a varied selection of items for glutenfree customers like myself.

Delicious, high quality food in a beautiful setting. (I got the steak sandwich, which was HUGE and so tasty!) All the staff are super friendly, helpful and accomodating. Always such a pleasure to visit!

Spotlessly clean bright cheerful . Food excellent service excellent staff cheerful. Prices reasonable . Lovely place recommended .

Really welcoming staff and great value

Pleasant place for lunch with friends with a small garden centre to explore after a tasty lunch, reasonably priced too. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Just had afternoon tea with my wife and daughter. Delicious food, impeccable service by team of customer-focused staff and great surrounding. Absolutely first-class.

Just had a sausage sandwich on a brown bap. Ate the bap and left the sausage as it was very poor quality. My friend had a bacon sandwich and did the same by leaving the bacon. Not up to usual standard.

A lovely garden centre cafe with a good selection of food and drink to suit all tastes and appetites. The food is cooked fresh to order and is always good quality. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Everything is kept clean and spotless, you can tell that they take great pride in their business. Well done Seed Room.

Beautiful yet casual dining experience! We ordered 3 specials; 2 open steak sandwiches and 1 beetroot risotto. Cooked/seasoned/garnished perfectly. Lovely cafe with an abundance of natural light, accompanied by tentative staff and airy space. £50 for 3 meals, 3 drinks and an additional side. Highly recommend. Gluten free options available also*

I first visited the Seed Room over 2 years ago, while visiting family. I have been back numerous times since. Driving 45mins each way might seem excessive for a cooked breakfast, but the quality of the food and how it is cooked is excellent. I have tried other places like Copley’s, Rob Royds all of which are a similar price point, but the quality at the Seed Room just shines through. The service at the Seed Room is always excellent and customers are really well taken care of. The only down side for me are the acoustics which can exacerbate the noise.

Went for a breakfast with my daughter, we had a nice relaxing time, the breakfast was really nice and freshly cooked in a nice clean friendly atmosphere.

Hands down the best cafe in the area. Food and service is always excellent, menu prices are very reasonable.

I was very disappointed and won't order plain toast again! I can't find 100 characters to leave for a 'review' as much as I try.

Delicious scones get there by 10am they're still warm from the oven. Perfect place for morning coffee.

The food was delicious and service quick. It was quieter than usual but we went for breakfast this time. The cakes look scrumptious but we didn’t have any.

Great lunch/brunch spot. Reasonably priced. Fast and delicious.

The food was average for this type of eatery, we just had a couple of the salads. Chicken in the Caesar salad was a large portion but a little tough. Quite noisy so difficult to hear if you are there with elderly people. Clean, staff very pleasant and helpful. I'd probably go again.

Lovely place, great afternoon tea. Have visited before and will again.

We had the chef special - open steak sandwich and it was so tasty. Lovely friendly staff. The facilities were clean and bright

Lovely cafe, very well organised by the staff who were all friendly. Food excellent !

Great place to have a bite to eat. On the side of the garden centre. Tables and chairs are quite angular and upright and not exactly comfortable, but the food on offer is great yet quite expensive.

Hell of a breakfast,only complaint was no toast included which at the price you'd expect toast but yeah a great breakfast indeed

Hi we went as a family on Saturday, we have been going for 3 years now and some of the staff know us , this particular time we got a normal breakfast , hash browns and sausages and asked for a veggie breakfast , the veggie brekkie included 2 eggs , I explained we are on a veggie thing for 9 days and could they swap the 2 eggs for a bit of spinach (which they have in stock ) the lovely girl at till said she would ask the chef who abruptly said no , I asked him as well he said. No way spinach is far more expensive than eggs , at the point I gave up , obviously that’s not greatest customer service for a loyal customer, but ok , what I’m upset about is I’ve sent 2 email to managers over last 10 days , and zero courtesy of a reply whether it’s I’m sorry but we really couldn’t do anything or sorry that you felt you had a bad experience, but nothing back from them at all .. very disappointing it seems that despite the wonderful staff , the owners or management or so arrogant they completely ignore correspondence.. disappointed ☹️

We really enjoyed our quick visit for breakfast. We were able to pick and mix off the "extras" list - we both got egg and hash brown on one slice of toast and an extra slice of toast with preserve, which we thoroughly enjoyed. It was really nice to get what we wanted with very pleasant and efficient service in a light airy space. Would fully recommend.

Great food and friendly service

Very expensive... And very popular with older folk. £7 for a cheese sandwich!.

I think it’s our 4th visit to the seed room and seems to get better each time, only problem we had was choosing what to have as everything looked good. Staff friendly and helpful and place spotlessly clean

Excellent food & service in a location you would never expect. Visited on Mothering Sunday so booked well in advance. We have been once before so knew it was a good choice. The menu selection is different from the usual multi national suppliers, being fresh & inovative and at an acceptable price. The quality of the food is excellent and resonably priced. The staff are efficient and freindly. I can't recommend it enough!

I like to come to Seeds when I get the opportunity, the staff are great and the food is always good. It can get busy so it's a good idea to book a table, especially if you are having afternoon tea. Afternoon tea is definitely worth having... delicious.

Very helpful staff - good quality food - worth a visit - I would recommend most foods there - freshly cooked -

We called in for a sandwich, but due to the huge size of the place and lack of any kind of soft furnishings to deaden the sound we found it to be incredibly noisy. Tables are very close together and we were surprised at the plainness of the surroundings. Just stark white with nothing to give it any kind of character. We ordered two panini which were quite tasty but incredibly hard, so we didn’t really enjoy them. My main gripe however was with the abrupt and unsmiling young woman who took our order. Honestly she looked as if she just didn’t want to be there. We always visit the garden centre which is great but wouldn’t go back to the cafe

Just had a delicious, delightful lunch at this gem of a place. My wife and I enjoyed our meals ordered from their special menu. The cakes on display are also tempting. A clean, bright cafe with views of farm land overlooking Horbury.

Nice place would recommend it friends

Good food, service very good. The portions were generous. I personally thought the uncomfortable chairs were a bit too close together. When the person behind me move, their chair hit mine. Not their fault. They were just too close together.

Food was good but the bread wasn't up to their normal standards.

My fiance works here and took me here for my birthday. Visited England for a week. First time having an Afternoon Tea and it was amazing. The staff wanted to meet me while I visited. They was all lovely. The best thing I ate was the salmon sandwich that was part of the Afternoon tea. Probably the best thing I ever had. Their cream cheese and chives pulled it off greatly. The other sandwiches was amazing and the soup was great. I loved trying scones with cream and jam for the first time. The food is great. I think the tea cups and plates are adorable. I had a great time! Thank you! I also love the natural lighting and atmosphere of the place. Thank you so much!

Upon entering, as a walk-in party of 11, the staff were prompt in offering us the options for seating arrangements to suit our needs best. The offers of drinks, and the speed of receiving them was swift, especially considering the beginning of Dinner service and the relatively busy service. The whole table enjoyed their meal, with almost the entire table opting to choose something different. My Open Steak Sandwich was presented beautifully. The steak cooked perfectly, and balanced well by the Button Mushrooms and Caramelised Red Onion; this is a testament to the skill of the chef, and not a single person at our table had anything but positive feedback for their meal. Strongly recommend this eatery if you enjoy good food and excellent service. If you are passing through, especially given its convenience to a beautiful Garden Centre, stop in for a bite.

First visit. What a wonderful place to eat! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit today. Ourselves and our friends all had panini, salad and coleslaw. It was delicious! The wedges are amazing, especially with the sour cream and chive on the side, nice touch 👌. I love the fact you put the wedges and chips in the little plant pots, that was great. You have some wonderful staff that look very smartly dressed and work very fast and efficient. The mature lady with brown hair, sorry I didn’t catch her name, she was very smiley and pleasant and seems like a lovely member of staff to have. 5* for food and service. If you are ever in the area you won’t be sorry. I do wish the specials board was a little bit more noticeable or in view when entering. We were trying to work out what a dish that looked really popular as it was flying out. Then we realised when people kept standing near our table that the specials board was behind us and that a lot of people were having the open steak sandwich. It looked amazing!! We would have gone for that if we’d known. We really enjoyed what we had anyway, so please don’t think that was a complaint as it wasn’t. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Excellent food, thoroughly recommend 👌

Food & drink is always top class

Staff on the til spoiled the experience - not friendly and generally not interested. Normally the experience is good - perhaps it was just this member of staff.

Fantastic little restaurant, beautiful food. Would 100% go again?

Lovely place great food excellent service

Busy but you get a table browse while you wait

A clean environment, tasty breakfast and friendly staff. A shame a piece of toast isn’t included, especially with the double breakfast, but still worth five stars. Coffee pretty good too.

My wife and I have used the Seed Room for quite a while now since it first opened, it has gone from strength to strength over the years, improving and expanding into what is now a great cafe bistro. All the staff are friendly and efficient serving simply the best freshly prepared food every time we visit. Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year to you all.

Just been for Xmas dinner for my elderly mum's birthday. Food was delicious - chocolate brownie with icecream was so yummy. Staff as always very friendly and approachable. Thank you

The Seed Room would stand alone as a cafe/restaurant. It is a fantastic addition to the garden centre. There is a great selection of well cooked dishes, using top quality ingredients. The staff are friendly and professional. Prices are reasonable and cakes etc are to due for.

Fabulous afternoon tea for two. Whole experience 5*. Better than Bettys Tea rooms !! . Great staff , returning soon to enjoy again . Carol & Janet x

Fantastic will definitely return

Fabulous early Christmas dinner today at the Seed Room. Never disappoints. Great friendly service and excellent coffee too. Thoroughly recommended! I think some of the people leaving negative reviews must either be very very hard to please or confused as to where they have visited.

3 Course Christmas Dinner; fabulous. Excellent value for money and brilliant staff. Good choice of meals and delightful desserts. Staff great too; well done to all involved and to Rachel for managing the event like clockwork.

Fabulous afternoon tea and scone this place is superb in every way the Mille feuille was amazing too ! Be back soon 😍

Great place to visit both the seed room and the garden centre. (Horticentre). Friendly staff, but the seed room can get busy. Plenty of parking. And easy access.

Lovely cafe and Christmas decorations.

Very relaxing environment, great latte's and friendly attentive staff.👍😁

The food here is always really good and the staff are lovely. The toilets are the stinkiest toilets in the land, a bit grubby looking as well. Some attention should really be paid to this as it’s letting the place down. Everything else is great.

Excellent food great service spotless clean

Wonderful meal, very tasty, great service

Good food, atmosphere feels like a canteen

Nice place good food nice staff

We've been here many times and the story is always the same: good cooking, especially of the daily specials, and friendly, welcoming service. Today's specials including excellent pie and peas, and a smoked ham hock salad with pork crackling, black pudding and a beautifully dressed salad. By any standards this is good restaurant-style food – but at affordable prices. Not surprisingly, the airy, open room was packed today, but the dishes arrived promptly. Cracking spot.

I joined a party for a golden wedding for 30 people. We all had afternoon tea. The service was amazing and the food outstanding. Everyone had a lovely time in a lovely place. Thankyou so much. You will be highly recommended.

Coffee and cake with friends after a nice walk,the perfect end to a lovely afternoon stroll.

Our 2nd visit with friends to find the restaurant extended and spacious and very comfortable. The menu was excellent with a variety of choices well prepared and presented and very good value. My choice of a Bacon Chop was delicious and all our party enjoyed their selections. We will certainly re-visit in the near future with the addition of visiting the garden centre.

Not a pleasant experience when the chef feels the need to come out of his kitchen and shout at his customers. One small comment about my food and I was made to feel tiny, embarrassed and upset. If you can’t go to a restaurant (or cafe as this is) and pass a comment on, surely that’s a reflection on him. My food wasn’t quite right yet I didn’t ask for a refund, I didn’t make a fuss, I just said a few words. I paid up and left in tears. I will never go back. Humiliated.

Rude chef who cannot take criticism. I made a small comment about my dish and before I knew it, he was out and shouting at me. I was made to feel very small. Left in tears. See Trip Advisor reviews. It is completely true.

Come here regularly for a catch up with friends. Always friendly staff great selection of coffee and food. Cakes are fabulous. Always take one home. 😋

We thought we would try this cafe again as we had not been here in a while. We were greeted by a friendly and polite member of staff and shown promptly to a table. The selection of food is quite wide and a great selection of pasties and cakes. You order at the till but you have to set your own table as cutlery isn't provided by the staff. The cafe is very well spaced out and you can feel quite comfortable and relaxed They also have comfortable sofa type chairs to sit on. I would say probably best to book these if possible. I ordered the 8oz bacon joint and we also had risotto. The latte I had was really good My food was very well cooked and served hot. It was really tasty 😋 My partner said the risotto was served hot and was very good. Overall it was a great experience and definitely will be going back. Price wise this cafe is at the top of the price scale so best to be aware before hand. The quality is definitely worth paying for. ❤️❤️😋😋 Well deserved 5 stars from me

Had a lovely lunch here today. The food is very reasonable and tasty. The staff are friendly. I would recommend

Wonderful garden centre cafe. Lovely food, friendly service & very reasonable prices.

Fantastic food , great service 👍

Brilliant menu. Haven't been since pre covid so I was pleased to see the cafe had doubled in size. No waiting and quick service. The plants from here are very healthy.

Lovely lunch as always here: friendly courteous staff, nice tasty food on the menu with regular special board. Great place to catch up with friends: lovely latte and big selection of cakes. Regular visitor for the past 6+ years and never had a bad experience. Can highly recommend

I am shocked to read some recent reviews of the seed room.....I have eaten here on many occasions during the past 7 years with friends and family and its always been brilliant! The staff go out of their way to look after you and accommodate...

The Seed Room used to be so good but not anymore. It's now too big & the quality has gone down. My friends had cake although there was a very limited choice but I had a bacon sandwich the bacon was pale & flaccid only...

Great breakfast , and very friendly staff

Set inside the Horticentre, Quite a big seating area which is deceptive from the front. Plenty of parking on lower parking area which is situated just behind the Seed Room cafe. Very pleasant and spacious inside with friendly staff and good service. I will be visiting again soon. If you are going around lunchtime it may be advantageous to phone before and or book because when we were leaving people were queueing or being turned away

Very accommodating staff, grat breakfasts as well as lunch. Imaginative specials offered by the chef

If you like to live on the edge and be abused with your lunch, pop into this place. The clientele of this place are generally +50 but chef thinks nothing of verbally abusing paying customers. On Tuesday a table of 4 who had paid for...

Dreadful place to eat. Having been regular customers for quite a few years, we ordered lunch. It was incorrect and the staff put this right. We paid the extra so the cafe was not out of pocket. Staff then came over and said that they...

Went here for breakfast one morning with family. Staff were extremely polite and helpful. Food was outstandingly delicious. I’ve also since visited for tea and I honestly again can’t complain once about the quality of food here. Prices aren’t too bad. Great place to go...

Love the food hear. Big sarnie.

Very pleasant smiling staff. Nice coffee and scone

Cafe attached to a good garden centre near the coal mining museum.

Lovely place and great cakes 🎂 😋
