Temple Newsam Tea Rooms in Leeds

Called into the Tea Rooms for drinks, have to say that the Cappuccino was barely luke warm and the coffee was as thick as sludge and only just warmer, enjoyed the scone but found everything a tad on the expensive side considering the quality, we won't be calling back

Would like to say how I really enjoyed the Lamb Koftas with pitta bread which was on the ‘ Afternoon Delight’ menu. I would definitely have it again. My friend had the Southern fried chicken burger with potato wedges which she also enjoyed

Had a cream tea here today. Excellent food and service. People should go and visit the café for a great experience. I would recommend

Came here for lunch after visiting the farm, and really don't understand the hype for this place. It was a Saturday, so was understandably very busy, but the staff were so unorganised and all over the place that everything took ages. The queue to order food was the length of the cafe, with staff at the front desperately trying to serve and make fancy lattes at the same time. Rather than have one person serve and another on coffees.. we asked for some ketchup when our food arrived which never turned up. When the food came out it was good and tasty - we had a Yorkshire pudding wrap and the pulled pork sandwich. The kids had the lunchboxes which were good value and they enjoyed it. But we won't be returning.

Very welcoming tea room surrounded by lovely walks. I had the soup of the day as I was feeling like a healthy meal. It was carrot & coriander - normally a little sweet for me. But this home made soup was the BEST carrot & coriander soup I can ever remember having. From the first mouthful - it was delicious! They are having £5 breakfasts during February 2024 so my husband and I will definitely be returning to try those...

Thank you to Matthew and his team especially our server Louise. Your superb hospitality, attention to detail ,fabulous service ,ambience and afternoon tea with local wine was perfect for my family and friends attending my birthday party. Can highly recommend you. C Gunning

Temple Newsam's cafe is usually on the pricey side but offered a great value (pre-booked) Christmas dinner during December. I went with a small group of friends from work and was worried that the service might be slow as the cafe was fully booked but was impressed by the quick service and considerate and unflappable staff. The Christmas dinner was really excellent. I hope they can offer it again this year.

We had a family get together of the clan from all over the UK with more family visiting from USA and Australia. The food was great, something for every taste. Staff were great and helped make it a wonderful afternoon. When you need fresh air there's the park, play area, farm and the big house. Great venue. Loved it!

We recently hired the Lady Hertford Suite for a Family Get Together. It was perfect. The room was lovely and really well decorated, the food was good and well presented and the participants just kept going back for more. everyone had a really good time the access to the farm and the grounds made the occassion even though the weather did not play ball. If you want a really good location to catch up with your loved ones - this is not a venue to miss.

I went for the Christmas lunch with my family and had a lovely time. The staff were excellent and very friendly. We felt completely relaxed and as if we were at home. They had crakers on the table which had fun trivia and jokes inside, which was a nice touch. And I've saved the best until last... the food!!! Holey moley was that a delicious meal! It was superb. The roast potatoes were to die for, fluffy on the inside crispy on the outside. The veg was roasted perfectly. The red cabbage was a favourite with everyone. And I loved that they gave us lots of gravy (which I think was homemade by the look and taste of it!). Overall it had the vibe of a really good home cooked meal and I love that it was from local produce. Three of us were too full for dessert but the two who had dessert said that it was delicious. We all went home satisfied and felt we should have paid more for what we got. I'd say there's room for improvement with the festive decor and look of the room, but overall we had a great time and for that price it's the bargain of the year. We will definitely be back next Christmas! Thank you to all the team.

Went with friends for a Christmas lunch. Really good home cooked food, just like mum used to make. Plenty of it. Excellent value for money. A big Thank You to all the lovely team. Will definitely book for next year.

Had a fabulous Christmas lunch at Temple Newsam Tea Rooms on Monday with family. The home made food was delicious and the staff were so friendly, attentive and helpful. Superb value for money. Thankyou so much, we will definitely be coming again. Adele B

Had a fabulous Christmas dinner at Temple Newsam Tea Rooms . The food was delicious and the staff were so helpful. Superb value for money. Thankyou so much.

Had a superb Christmas dinner here today. The food was excellent, well presented and hot. Brilliant value for money. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Would definately go again. Thank you very much.

Christmas dinner par excellence! I visited with a party of 10 ladies and we had a lovely time. The main course was plentiful and hot and gluten free option too. Can’t believe such value for money. The staff were great - 5 star treatment. Fingers crossed for a repeat event next year. I’ll be first in the queue

This was a special Christmas lunch, provided for the first time. My wife and I booked it after seeing a Facebook advertisement well in advance and the manager said the take up was so good he could have laid it on several times over. And I don't doubt it. It was excellent, set up in the Lady Hartford room in the stables courtyard. As well as the main course, a full Christmas dinner, there was a choice of desert between a mince pie with brandy cream and a chocolate pudding. You could have a glass of wine or soft drinks with a choice of teas and coffees. The main course was enormous with turkey and all the trimmings and was cooked to perfection. The manager and his staff were very attentive which made the experience more enjoyable. The price was very reasonable and we will be booking for next year at the first opportunity. A nice experience all round.

Christmas lunch at Temple Newsam. Excellent! Great service, great staff and lovely lunch. Will certainly be back next year. Thank you!

Fantastic Christmas lunch at the Temple Newsam Tea Rooms. Excellent food and wonderful service, lovely surroundings and very pleasant attentive staff. Will definitely be coming again!

Christmas lunch was brilliant value and staff were very friendly and helpful. Went with a group of 8 adults and 8 babies and we were given our own room which was very useful with all the babies and prams. The food was really yummy and...

Amazing food, great price and even better welcoming and service. We could not fault the meals in any way and we expected to pay more for locally sourced products. We will be there again next week.

What a fabulous Christmas lunch, from start to finish it was perfect, excellent service from the staff andante the neal was lovely, plentiful and wine and coffee included.

Visited with work colleague for Christmas lunch. Absolutely amazing! Prebooked one turkey, one vegetarian meal. Both arrived at same time, food was hot and beautifully cooked/presented. Service was fantastic, attentive and professional whilst being friendly. Value for money was exceptional! Cannot recommend this enough, hope...

I booked a Christmas lunch Monday 4 December 2023 for myself and two sisters. What a treat! We chose traditional Christmas dinner and were not disappointed. The pig in blanket was really tasty. Hope I can buy some! A late call to the tearooms to...

We went for Christmas dinner, the room was beautifully decorated, the staff were so attentive and the food was great. Such amazing value for money.

Went here today for a Christmas Dinner, the food was excellent and it was piping hot which is always a plus. The staff really made the effort to make everyone feel at home and were very attentive and very friendly. I had a Christmas Dinner,...

Have just enjoyed a wonderful Christmas lunch at the tea room. Excellent value, the traditional Christmas lunch with all the trimmings was delicious, enjoyed with a glass of wine and a bottle of ale. Finished off with warm mince tart and cream. Staff were very...

One if my favourite cafes, the grounds are great to explore, staff have always been friendly helpful and polite to me, the courtyard is so picturesque, parking is free in all but the main house car park, the breakfast is very nice and reasonably priced,...

went to see temple newsam house. it was nice but nothing memorable. wandered down to cafe £3.50 for a cheese and onion pastry that was not very nice. £5 odds for a roll and sauage. it was well overpriced for what you were getting.. wouldent...

Delicious afternoon tea here, the scones were 10/10. I was offered this for free as a way of them correcting an error, which was much appreciated.

Booked online for afternoon tea for 4 adults, arrived at 1pm and our table was already set ready for us, Louise was really helpful from start to finish. We had tea and coffee, just before our food arrived. Plenty of sandwiches to choose from, varity...

Was enjoying a quite pleasant visit to this local cafe until my visit was unruly interrupted by what seemed like a manager dealing with an issue regarding a young male employee. The woman who was delivering this one sided embarrassment of what i can only...

Food was really good had the cheese burger (a real burger not bulked up with breadcrumbs) and my 3 year old had the packet lunch with a ham sandwich, proper ham not processed meat. My only complaint was I had to wait 30 mins for...

Had a lovely walk around Temple Newsam grounds today and called into the Tea Rooms for lunch wanting a salad. No salad on the menu today but the staff were so obliging and Caitlin the chef specially made us the most gorgeous beetroot falafel salad....

A lovely cafe, with seating inside and out we chose to have breakfast the choice was very good ranging from sandwiches to the full English and great value. The coffee machine wasn't working though so they couldn't offer latte, etc which was disappointing and we...

We live locally so visit Temple Newsam frequently, we've tried the cafe a few separate times over the past year and it always disappoints. Queues are often huge + very slow moving. Staff are consistently rude + the food is expensive for what it is...

Afternoon Tea - lovely. Great sandwiches and cakes. Really friendly staff with great personal service. We were made to feel very welcome. Would certainly go again 😊

On a very cold, rainy day we stopped for lunch at the courtyard cafe on the Temple Newsam Estate. We noticed some really positive improvements and it was a really good experience. Nice shiny, new menus made ordering easy and clear. Prices were reasonable and...

Not sure what has happened!!! Seemed very disorganised! Female toilets been done up but no apparent alternative other than the gents for all to use!!! Whilst the food was good, only one person on the till who was also serving drinks and food seemed a...

Due to the special event where Tempsy house and farm were open at 1922 prices today it was really busy everywhere (plus the weather was perfect 🥰) The cafe was super busy too and the staff were rushed off their feet but were smiley, warm...

We arrived today and enjoyed the very cheap muffin deal at £1.99 which was Fab value for our family and went well with the kids. After a very long walk around the well kept ground we then returned and had a couple of pulled pork...

They’ve recently redone their menu and the prices are astronomical. Charging £11 for a jacket potatoes with beans, £4 for two slices of toast. This is a cafe in a council park. A family of four for lunch with drinks and dessert would be around...

Very very expensive … why ? Will not be back it is ridiculously over priced !! even the assistant who served me agreed when I commented

Was out on a dog walk and dropped in, very nice coffee and great lunch although on first read of the menus the combinations looked a little odd, but pleasantly surprised.

The Tea Room in the Courtyard is light, well laid out with a good slection of food & drink. Tne staff were friendly and helpful.

Seriously deadful coffee, cold, tastless and over priced. Dirty cup, dirty table, long queues. Clearly not enough staff to cope with demand or provide a pleasant experience. This could be such a great venue but obviously quality is not on the agenda and for the...

Do make this dog-& human-friendly café a must when you visit. The ticket Office is handily placed within the quadrangle.

Nice cafe and food, though the half term queues were crazy. Better displayed menus would help and table ordering.

We visit Temple Newsom regularly, and I don't usually leave a review but having visited on the Saturday before Christmas in the morning before it became too busy, while our son was visiting. We stopped at the end of our walk for warming refreshments, my...

Have been using this cafe for about 3 years now. Has always been a little overpriced especially for a family of 4. The pricing seems to have crept up since covid. Hot drinks ok but nearly £6 for a bacon/sausage roll is just too much...

After a nice winter walk around the lovely grounds we called in for some nice hot food. I ordered a cheese burger. Well, I have never experienced anything like it, thankfully. The burger was so tough it was inedible. Cooked last week and reheated. It...

Not really cluded up on gluten free options ended up having jacket potato because staff unsure when asked. Service itself in general was quick

13.7.21 Having carrot soup time #carrot#soup#carrotcoriandersoup #coriander #leeds#templenewsam Enjoy my soup but I prefer white roll

Lovely afternoon tea to celebrate my parents 60th wedding anniversary as their wedding reception was at Temple Newsam 60 years ago. Staff were very attentive, the food was delicious and the table setting looked lovely. The manger gave my parents their afternoon tea 'on the...

Went for lunch recently. Thought I would try the Ploughman's lunch and it didn't disappoint! Plenty of variety and lovely, tasty food! Presentation was excellent. The chef, Chelsea, certainly takes pride in her work! Good value for money. Cafe was well set out and felt...

Visited for afternoon tea recently. It was a sunny day and the outdoor area was busy, there can be a long queue. Shame that toilets are shared with non-customers too meaning there can be a wait. Outdoor seating had tables with parasols which was nice,...

Our first trip out as a new family with the newborn. Bobbed in for some lunch and the service was fab! We ordered the ploughman's lunch board and it was to die for! Plenty of food for the price! Lovely courtyard area to sit in...

Impressed with COVID systems in place and tables thoroughly wiped as soon as someone left. Felt very safe. Husband had farmers breakfast which was delicious with generous portions. Lovely courtyard to sit and enjoy break. Waitress Linda came to speak to us and clearly took...

It was a beautiful sunny day, which meant having a coffee in the courtyard was very pleasant. Not sure how the Covid safe measures will work in winter? Had a tasty coffee and excellent muffin after a walk around Temple Newsam. Would recommend the Tea...

We visited the cafe after experiencing the Halloween trail around the farm. It was a cold wet day and there was quite a queue for the cafe. We opted to wait as the system seemed well controlled. We didn't wait too long. All the tables...

Went after a walk. Scone could have been used as a weapon given how hard it was (and cold, as was the butter). Brownie was sugar and nutella. Coffee was 1990s junk from a sh*t machine. Price was to match the most expensive in Leeds....

We had a lovely afternoon exploring the farm after we enjoyed a lovely lunch in the tea rooms. There are screens dividing each table. The tea rooms are very clean and the staff are friendly and constantly cleaning. My husband enjoyed a rare breed burger...

Very covid-safe with plexiglass screens separating the tables. A group of us had late breakfasts. Very good value, came very quickly and the food was very tasty. Would definitely visit again.

We often use Temple Newsam Tea Room as a mid point break in our walk as we did today. The quality of food & staff has improved and follows the Covid-19 guidelines to the letter. We really enjoyed our brunch and a special thanks to...

The cafe felt very Covid secure and the guy at the entrance was very welcoming. I purchased 2 lattes, a scone with jam and cream, a brownie and a Fanta. This cost £15. The lattes were made from an automatic machine and tasted absolutely disgusting,...

Tea room is nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. It is currently well set up for social distancing with Perspex dividers between spaciously set out tables. We had the Farmers breakfast and rare breed sausage bap which were both delicious.

Went for lunch with a friend. Lovely food. The Covid19 arrangements are fab. Linda, our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Definitely would go back.

Very COVID safe for families. Non intrusive screens. Food delicious and service excellent. Staff lovely xxx

The grounds are wonderful, the cafe was exceptional, good food, good choice. The care taken in keeping the public safe from Covid 19,is brilliant, safe behind see through screens but not clostrophobic at all. We'll done staff.

Fantastic breakfast selection, we visited on Sunday morning after a trip to the farm and grounds, while it was still quite quiet. Staff very friendly and the food was fresh and tasty and the portions were huge! We had the sharing platter of mixed meat...

Visited today for coffee & cakes. Friendly & helpful staff (Linda). Well organised & felt Covid safe. Plenty of sanitiser available, track & trace & tables separated by screens. Well done

This place makes FRESH scones every day that don't brake apart when you cut into them or spread the butter And taste fantastic. Food is generally good but my only concern is that they won't let you order lunch before 12. I arrived at 11.30...

Visited on a Sunday morning, lovely and quiet, warm welcome, nhs track and trace dealt with well. Plenty of indoor seating, felt really safe with the screens placed well to allow families to sit in comfort. The food was lovely, the farmers breakfast is really...

Fabulous service at these unusual times . Had a nice walk then coffee & cake, Linda made sure we had everything we needed and checked we felt safe and relaxed. Really encouraged to keep coming out and support our local attractions. Social distancing done really...

We were out for a stroll through Temple Newsam Park with the dog. Made it as far as the Tea Rooms and fancied refreshments . Full track and trace, social distancing for tables in the courtyard, PPE for the staff etc. Great food, great service,...

21.05.19 Tearoom at temple newsonewsam. Had goat cheese in toast. nice place to rest.But we came to have lunch before start walking round. Free car park and gor disabled #leedstearoom #leeds#templenewsam #lunchbreak#gpatcheesetoast

Since the tea rooms have reopened I often pop in for a takeaway latte but today I treated myself and my sister to a buttie too. Excellent value, either bacon or sausage sandwich with a drink for £5. We both went for sausage and it...

We come here often so were disappointed that when it was cold we still had to sit outside as the dog friendly area was closed for an event. I would expect some sort of back up if they are open all year around. You can't...

Place was busy. Staff couldn’t cope - clueless. Had run out of most things by 11.30. One of the most known venues in Leeds. They should know how to cope with it really.

It's a lovely team room with good selection of meals and cakes. We particularly enjoyed our vegetarian Christmas baguette. Located in beautiful Temple Newsam park setting, it's worth a trip.

We called in after a mammoth walk throughout the grounds of Temple Newsam for a well earned cup of coffee! A lovely cafe with efficient staff, and a nice courtyard to sit and enjoy your drinks!

My friends and I often drop by for breakfast on our weekly walks. I’ve never been disappointed with the food. We are planning a lunch time trip to sample the Christmas menu which sounds fab. Thanks to Linda for always being lovely too

My husband and I visited here for the first time and loved it. The turkey Yorkshire pudding wraps were fresh, lovely and good value for how much you get. We will definitely be returning :)

I brought the whole family here this week in school holidays and we had a great meal at reasonable prices. We enjoyed the rare breed bacon, mushroom cheese burger which was cooked to perfection even thou we waited 15 minutes for it to be cooked...

Came here and had a great time at the farm and in the house. We then sadly came to the tea room, Kids hotdog meal was half a hot dog bun with a sorry looking tiny sausage and salad with a ton of lettuce! What...

Often come in for a morning coffee. Always good and staff friendly. Very nice inside since they refurbished but nice to sit out in the courtyard when weather permits.

I visited this tearoom with high expectations as the whole of the Temple Newsam experience had been positive up to this moment. Why do tearooms seem to think it’s a great idea to staff their premises with surly teenagers who are far more interested in...

Thing Dick Turpin must have done the pricing on the menu, nothing special about the food we had, defiantly over priced, but then it is Leeds City Council. There is a sign in the Civic Centre saying " Our Ambition Is To Be The Best...

I booked onto a house tour followed by afternoon tea with my mum after seeing a flyer for this event when walking my dogs in the Temple Newsam grounds. Afternoon tea itself was in the Lady Hertford Suite which is a lovely space and the...

Very well presented and interesting tour of the House followed by a lovely afternoon tea in the cafe. Everything was tasty & good quality. Really enjoyable experience which would have been even better if it was sunny and we could have sat outside in the...

Perfect afternoon tea! Thank you Mark and the team! After a tour of the house our party of 6 had afternoon tea. Beautiful sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream and a delicious selection of cakes. Gorgeous room and we were made to feel very...

We had a Go Ape party on site then booked for food at Temple Newsam tearooms. The location,food,the service and the staff were excellent. And many thanks to the manager Mark.

Tasty food and coffee at a reasonable price in a splendid location. Friendly staff and plenty of places in the shade and in the sun to sit.

On a visit to Temple Newsham House, I came here to eat. The food was well cooked and it was a large and airy room

Paid a visit ahead of the Let’s Rock 80’s concert to see how far the walk was from our hotel. Stopped off for a drink and quite disappointed. Asked for cider and told it was in the fridge, non in there so asked again. Then...

What a shame as this place could be something special! We ordered a cappuccino which wasn’t quite enough to fill the cup so was topped up with boiling water - we asked for this to be replaced obviously. An Americano which was basically just hot...

Every Saturday morning, regardless of the weather, Parkrun happens at Temple Newsam. Every Saturday after Parkrun, runners descend upon the cafe for much needed food and drink. A number of my friends are celiac and most weeks there is no gluten free food available to...

The cafe is in the courtyard area of Temple Newsam, with outside and inside seating. Plenty of choice of seats and options for children such as high chairs and kids meals. We had both a quick hot drink prior to our visit and lunch during...

This is a great cafe to resort to after a day out in Temple Newsam! The food/drinks are great, however, the amount of tea served in a ‘pot for two’ could be more appropriate.

Nice tea rooms in a stables convcersion. Two hot drrinks and cake (bit dry) came to under £10!!! LARGE queues, almost next to tables so bit uncomfortable having people next to you when trying to un wind. One womnan grabbed the menu off our table...
