The Twisted Tree in Wakefield

Had a lovely meal with excellent service, friendly and helpful to us all even though it was very busy with Christmas diners. Good choices and cooked deliciously, thank you.

Atmosphere is great, staff are wonderful, food is average. Lovely latte.

Amazing food, no shyness on the portion sizes!! Really lovely staff, great atmosphere!

First time dining here today. Had the ribeye steak and eggs, and thoroughly enjoyed it. As Arnie says I'll be back

Expensive. Lovely waiting staff and nice food

A lovely atmosphere with great service and wonderful food.

Afternoon tea for my partner and myself a gift from my daughter absolutely delicious 😋

Delicious food! Great menu but also great food on specials board to try! I had wild boar burger and it was delicious! Staff are lovely and friendly and very accommodating for babies & prams, will help you warm bottles and baby changing available! Can't wait to return!

We had the afternoon tea and it was amazing. You get so much and it isn’t boring like most afternoon teas you get fresh fish goujons and sliced sausage roles

I went here for a birthday meal with my boyfriend! All I can say is WOW! The food was fantastic! The Staff are a credit to the place! They simply can’t do enough for you! Highly recommend 10/10 from me :)

We had a wake at the Twisted Tree, so not the happiest of situations, but the staff were so friendly, and buffet delicious. Thank you for helping turning a sad occasion into a happy one.

Booked for Sunday lunch nice setting , food was so nice , portions were great plenty of meat , staff were amazing ,love this place

The staff were so polite & friendly and the food was awesome!!

Absolutely amazing food and service

Had the Rustic afternoon tea and a few glasses of prosecco👍😁 with my friend. The food was absolutely delicious and it was such a cosy setting. The staff were really nice and friendly and were very attentive. Just loved it🥰

I don’t often comment but when amazing it needs saying! After being seated very close to others (I felt I was encroaching) I asked if there was anywhere else. We were asked where we’d like to be and we were took to the Den, which was a lovely area. The two staff members were great with this and very attentive! Promptly we had drinks and food order taken by Debbie. She was just fab with everyone she came across, from start to finish, which these days can be rare! Our foods and drinks came quick. Food was the best I’d ever had there, (Ive been about ten times now) Hubby was more than happy with steak, my Cajun chicken with rice and flatbread was so nice but sadly couldn’t eat all mine. Big well done to all, we’ll be back soon!

Not a place to visit if you suffer from arthritis or fibromyalgia. We had a very painful lunch because we were frozen in the porch area. The door constantly opening and shutting. The food is delicious and deserves five stars and the staff very friendly and hard working but it’s so uncomfortable and cold and it’s not winter yet!

my wife and I went for our anniversary meal as a recommendation from a friend. Have to say were delighted with the food, the atmosphere and the service. We were sat at a corner table, and for starters, I had the antipasti and my wife the bruschetta, both were fast and delicious. for the main meal I had the Chicken burger and my wife had the fillet rump and again, both were delicious. reasonable prices and again, great service from a great waitress. Would highly recommend this place to anyone for lovely food and ambience

Found Twisted Tree using 'The Extra Mile' book/Web site. Super find.

So lovely! I have coeliac and the staff were so accommodating and friendly, especially Claire and Tia, but truly everyone was kind and lovely. Would absolutely recommend Castleford! Oh and the caramel latte was to die for 😋

Brilliant place, great staff and amazing food, lovely find

We chose this place as we were in the area, and it had received 4.7 out of 5* from 197 reviews. We were seated and given menus, no drinks order taken. Someone set about lighting the burners on tables and didn't light ours, even though we were the only people in the place. Our orders were taken, including the drinks. I ordered a rosé wine and lemonade, and my partner a coke. My drink came in separate glasses? I ordered chicken supreme in fricassee, wild mushroom, onion, and bacon sauce, with broccoli and new potatoes. I asked to substitute the potatoes for chunky chips. That was allowed. When my meal arrived, I was confused. There was no broccoli or mushrooms, and it was in a watery fluid that was flooded with silverskin onions. The chunky chips seemed deep fried until no potato existed. Instead, the chips. We got the attention of the waitress, she apologised and said she'd speak to the chef, of which reported back, sorry he forgot the broccoli and mushrooms and the cream. The lady offered to put it right, but that would mean waiting again for the meal to be recooked and my partner would be finished. I declined the new meal and ate what I was given. It tasted of nothing. But the waitress removed my meal from the bill. So her efforts warranted the 3* rating. Other than that, I think the service was terrible. The place was empty, and the chef failed to make 2 meals. There were 3 staff and we had to sit and wait a while to have our order taken and even our drinks order, because they were standing chatting. My partners cajun chicken dish was bland.

I suggest booking as it’s really popular with the locals. Food was very nice and so was the drinks and was not over priced. Would return 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Fabulous place for Breakfast, top quality Bacon Sausage and golden yolk eggs. Staff are very friendly can't do enough for you. The twisted tree is a very nice place to sit and relax and get looked after. Highly recommend.

Food excellent. Staff bright & cheerful. You could easily drive past this place & think "No, not for me". Don't be deceived by the less than exciting facade. Inside is an amazingly varied menu, the 4 dishes we had were all very well presented & verrrrrrry tasty. Will definitely be back next I'm in that neck of the woods.

Lovely afternoon for lunch with friends and a baby ,great atmosphere and the staff are brilliant. Food and coffee was also lovely x

Been here many times and it never disappoints. Staff are always fantastic and food is to die for. Not biggest menu but tbh that is a good thing as everything is brilliant. Fabulous food and service as usual 👌 see you again soon.

Great food and very friendly staff

We had the afternoon tea which was one of the best we have had, very nicely presented and we liked that the savoury items were hot. The staff were lovely, very attentive and any issues fixed promptly. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic special with the lamb and very friendly staff 😊

Fantastic food and service!! Thank you!

Another fantastic dining experience at The Twisted Tree! The staff are amazing, they cannot do any more for their customers. The food is exceptionally delicious and each time the menu leaves us feeling spoilt for choice! Thank you :)

Amazing meal with our family. We were so well looked after! Especially with our crazy kids and a couple of dietary restrictions. Food was delicious as always, drinks great and service lovely. Thank you so much.

Excellent food and atmosphere the staff very welcoming and helpful it's worth every penny thank you

What a gem ,came here for lunch, loads of choices on menu,amazing food , staff are fantastic friendly ,professional and so welcoming . I wish I lived closer will definitely have to come back

Came here for brunch with a friend. Quaint little spot located in Wakefield. We ordered goat cheese starters with homemade sandwiches and chunky chips. Food was deliciously and good size portions. Sandwiches could be served on a selection of breads. We sat in the outside annex which was super lovely. What topped the experience for me was the incredible service from a lovely lady called Debbie. Nothing was too much trouble. She definitely made our experience - she is a credit to the team.

Food gorgeous, staff lovely and friendly, very professional

AVOID - they treat their staff appallingly. We witnessed the manager here belittling and bullying a young member of staff, who was actually going above and beyond whilst dealing with a customer complaint (about food). The manager was condescending and aggressive towards her and we couldn't believe that this was all in front of the customers here. The food is mediocre at best and the atmosphere here is not welcoming at all. Definitely avoid this place. Note to the owners - you need to train your "manager" or even better, get rid! Disgraceful behaviour.

Twisted Vintage came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. Despite the bustling crowd, the staff were warm and welcoming, creating a pleasant start to the day. The menu offers a great variety of dishes, with some evening options that sounded so tempting I’ll definitely be back. For breakfast, I enjoyed a delicious croque monsieur made with quality bread, savory ham, and a rich cheese sauce. The coffee was equally satisfying, complementing the lively, bustling atmosphere. This spot is a must-visit, earning every bit of its five-star rating.

Aug 24. Still a great place to eat at. There's the new outdoor area and the garden room too now. Food is excellent and service is still with a smile. June 22. Fabulous cafe/restaurant in Castleford/ whitwood. Very tastefully done out. Fantastically friendly staff, super food and presentation. Great outside space too with heaters. Absolutely recommend this place

Great breakfast really good quality food. Win!

We had such an amazing lunch. The food and service were outstanding 👌

I had organised a meal for 17 people aged from 3 years to 80 years. The communication from the staff was brilliant from the beginning. On the evening nothing was too much trouble. The food was delicious and the menu options are fab. Need to note that the gluten free menu has so many options which you don't often see. I would certainly hold a celebration meal here again. Thank you!

Food was luvly had afternoon tea.luvly selection sweets.. Place luvly I would prefer selection little sandwiches on breads..than all hot bits food on crusty bread....but was luvly to try something different 😋 i was going to post pic off food. No where to do it...

Had a delightful lunch, lovely food, attentive friendly service , relaxed atmosphere.

Delicious lemon meringue dessert

Had a fabulous meal with my wife. Great food and excellent service. Not crazy prices for the quality of the food but definitely towards the top end.

I visited here after my graduation a few weeks ago and just realised I forgot to write a review for this lovely place! We booked ahead and they were very accommodating to us as we didn’t know if we wanted afternoon tea or not and also wasn’t sure what time we’d arrive. When we did arrive, they had even put a congratulations sign on the table with a glass of bubbly for me too 🥹 It was such a nice gesture and I ended up having the afternoon tea too which was divine!! Would definitely recommend ❤️

First time - great value, great healthy options and a good quality cup of coffee 👍 will b back

Went for lunch with a friend. Excellent food and service

Staff are absolutely amazing, reqyested a staff to help take a picture she gladly did and came out beautiful, will definitely visit again

Visited this afternoon with family for afternoon tea for my mums 60th birthday! Beautiful food and place! We were well looked after, special mention to Holly who made everything perfect for my mums surprise and all the other staff that served us! Couldn't recommend enough.

Great Service and outstanding food. Never been before but will definitely return. Great choice of mains and deserts were delicious.

Excellent service and food, couldn't do enough for us. Will defo be back.

Tasty food, friendly staff, great value for money & a very relaxed atmosphere 😎

Absolutely gorgeous place. I went a few years ago before the extension type thing and it was lush then but super nice now with more space and the decor is really lovely. The staff couldn’t have been nicer and made everything perfect for us. Such a great menu with plenty to choose from and a kids menu. We’ll definitely be coming back sooner this time! Thanks 😍

Fabulous Rustic Afternoon tea.very tasty food and beautifully presented. Staff were friendly and attentive.A most enjoyable afternoon.

The Twisted Tree offers an exceptional dining experience, characterized by unreal food and heavenly desserts. **Food:** - **Burger:** Initially, I had some food envy before ordering, especially after seeing the impressive bread bun on the burgers being served. Opting for a katsu chicken burger turned out to be a great decision. The burger was perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful, with the bread bun being fresh and adding a delightful texture to each bite. - **Dessert (Biscoff Pancakes):** The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Biscoff pancakes. They were nothing short of heavenly, with the rich Biscoff flavor and perfectly cooked pancakes making for an indulgent and satisfying dessert. **Atmosphere:** The Twisted Tree has a warm and inviting ambiance, ideal for enjoying a meal with friends or family. The decor is charming and adds to the overall dining experience. **Service:** The staff at The Twisted Tree were attentive, friendly, and efficient, contributing to the positive experience. They ensured that our needs were met promptly and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. **Overall:** The Twisted Tree is a fantastic place to dine, offering unreal food and an unforgettable dessert experience with the Biscoff pancakes. The burger was a standout, especially with its delicious bread bun. Combined with a welcoming atmosphere and excellent service, The Twisted Tree is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable meal within Castleford

Lovely lunch big portions,will prob share next time. Staff were very friendly x

We had the antipasti plate to start and the mains: Cajun cod and pork belly special with udon noodles and mushrooms (highly recommend), staff were lovely and food was superb for the price.. we will be back, we love it

Lovely place with delicious food that is different to the norm.

The waitress was very helpful as I was trying to mix my food. Definitely I will call again

Nice setting, went into the conservatory area, food nice a bit small the portions. Had the halloumi burger came with lovely chips and coleslaw.

Lovely athmosphere, food and service. The staff was so lovely and nothing was too much of a bother and always with a smile on their faces. THANK YOU!!

Friendly, welcoming, cosy atmosphere and the food is amazing!

Amazing breakfast - great ambiance- good value. Great service - we loved it. Would definitely recommend and go again - wish we lived nearer.

Great choice of food, fab service. Unfortunately rice was soggy and overcooked which spoiled the meal

My cousins had recommended this place and booked us a table for lunch. We were able to choose to sit indoors on a very warm day, but with lots of cool air circulating. The service was very friendly and we were given plenty of time to choose. We asked for some water whilst we chose our meals and drinks and it arrived promptly and well chilled. We all had different salads,which were delicious. We also had room for desserts- very good they were too. We were made to feel very welcome without it being 'over the top'. They accommodated my food intolerance( mustard) easily and without fuss. We will definitely be going again, it was one of the best meals out we've had in ages. I think it's advisable to book.

The place is lovely has the right warmth and welcomes kids , but having booked a table and made order for what we were wanting in advance expecting it to be ready to go really yet we got there and was a wait to get food also the same price for gluten and vegan options as normal which is good but for what you get the price is just too high and not worth what you get , options of all drinks included in the price which helps but expected a lot more than what we got this should be looked at and revised or even think what you get for your money you want taste and portion to be a match .

We’ve had such a lovely meal at The Twisted Tree tonight. Gorgeous food with a relaxed atmosphere where we’ve come together as a group of friends for a long overdue catch up. Great customer service and the BEST chips ever! Thank you

Lovely little restaurant.always delivers excellent friendly service

Lovely place! The staff were all friendly and lovely, the food was delicious!! The homemade chips were amazing! The lemon meringue was delightful and the burgers were beasty! With proper chicken fillets and homemade pesto. Can't wait to go back!! They were also very accommodating to fit our pram in too!

Everything was lovely. Service, food and atmosphere. We will be back!

Having been here for brunch before and had a great experience, we decided to check it out for dinner, they were able to fit us in on the day by calling a couple of hours beforehand which was great. Lots of specials on offer as well as the normal menu made it really hard to decide what to go for! Everything we ordered was freshly cooked, had depth of flavour and made us want to have more! They also have a huge dessert selection, if you like dessert you will be spoilt for choice! Service was slightly slow but it was midweek and they may have been short staffed, but the food made up for it!

Visited Thursday 30th May, a much needed meal as we had spent the week packing for a house move the following day!! (Hence, there are no photos as we were exhausted and not thinking straight) The food was fabulous. We had a steak sandwich in ciabatta and a beef burger that both came with wonderful chips. Bearing in mind that we were exhausted and very hungry, there was so much food that we had no room for dessert. Special mention for Debbie who was absolutely amazing and looked after us throughout. Her customer service was sublime and friendly without being overbearing. We'll most certainly be back, not just for the fabulous food but also for the service.

Lovely meal and great service from Leah, thank you.

Had a fantastic afternoon tea . Food and drinks were wonderful. Staff were brilliant. Can't wait to return.

Cute little place, fresh food, good service. Been for both breakfast and lunch, never disappointed. Good vibes :)

I had visited a few times before so arranged my sister in laws baby shower here yesterday. We sat in the beautiful conservatory den and had afternoon tea which was beautiful! (Price also Includes tea, coffee and unlimited cordials) The service was fantastic, food tasty and good portions, everything was fresh but the best bit was the staff, especially Debbie who could not do enough to make sure we were well looked after and felt at home. We had several allergies and gluten free and they again accommodated with no issues whatsoever. Thank you for giving us such a lovely and relaxed afternoon to welcome my new little nephew.

I stopped by for food on my way past and was served by Macy and she was lovely, very knowledgable about the place and made the quick stop for food into a great restaurant experience with her service!

Having read previous reviews I expected better. Staff were pleasant enough but the service was very hit and miss. Some didn't know what the dishes were made up of, being asked if we wanted anything else seconds after someone else had asked. £28 steaks with sachets of one type of mustard? Food was ok, not as good as I thought it would be, burger was two patties both were like a steak let consistency. The advertised cheese sauce was not existent. The special was only just hot enough to eat. Finally (and the parents must take a lot of the blame) three children running all over the place. The parents should have been spoken too. Can't say I'd go back on tonight's eveidence

We had food here and it was really good. Tasty and well worth it. Staff very pleasant as well and food comes quickly. This place gets busy so book ahead.

Recommended by an acquaintance. Full menu available Thursday lunch. Our food (Mediterranean linguine with salmon & fish goujon sandwich) was good. Authentic chips could have included more edible ones. No draught beer. We were in the small bar area (all dark wood inc floors) but there's an extension too. Staff were good. Car park was full at 1pm.

There is literally nothing you could fault here. The food, the service, anything. Superb at every level. Been here for the brunch and breakfast and lunch. Every meal has been unreal. And the level of service has been the best ever. Highly, highly recommended. Thanks.

Lovely staff and cosy environment. Food all fresh and nicely served. Quite pricey but happy paying that bit extra for quality food with matching service. Will happily return again.

Family get together for bottomless, what a treat. We were celebrating Christmas, birthday and a promotion all in one go. The food was delicious and the drinks were flowing. The young ladies who were looking after us were really on the ball with everything. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They were polite, friendly and a credit to the Twisted Tree . Brilliant evening, we will definitely do it again.

A party of 10 celebrating a birthday on Saturday evening. The food was presented beautifully, the service exceptional and the food superb. A very imaginative specials board contribute to a unique dining experience where the welcome is sincere, they even provided the birthday cake, many thanks.

Never posted a review but this place deserves one. Top quality food, reasonably priced and the staff couldn’t do enough for you. Went above and beyond for us 👍

Great food, lovely little place. I along with 2 others went for afternoon tea...the food was outstanding, even took some home, they even made me extra Chantilly cream to take home 👍

Had a bottomless brunch for 4, staff were lovely and accommodating and Leah was very lovely, The garlic mushrooms and steak were delicious, as well as the bruschetta. Thank you for the lovely experience 🙂

Always love it here. Thanks Michelle

Arrived without a reservation but despite being a busy bank holiday I was fitted in for a lovely breakfast.

Had the Sunday carvery well nice, will definitely be going back.

Me colleagues and I visited here for dinner as we were away on a work course and we were not disappointed. The staff were so lovely and friendly. And the food… it was so tasty and very good value for money. I got the halloumi salad with chips with a peach ice tea, and a lemon mirangue tart for dessert. Couldn’t fault the food at all. I’d love to visit again when I’m in the area next. Thank you to the staff for accommodating our needs.

The BEST bottomless brunch! The food and drinks were brilliant but Charlie was the highlight of the night, prompt with the drinks and we spent the night laughing. She brought up the vibe tonight! We could have left after the first hour if it wasn’t for Charlie x

My wife and I came over for a casual Saturday morning breakfast and the food quality, service and atmosphere were excellent. Added to this, the accessibility of the place (just off the M62, J31) and ample car parking made it a very easy choice for us.

Had a nice afternoon tea. Seems like a popular place. It was my first visit and I will return to try something else on the menu.

It was very busy today and service was slow, we waited to place our order and then waited for the plates to be cleared. We ordered 2 coffees which never arrived and gave up after 30 mins. I paid and said we had been disappointed with the service but just got a 'hope we do better next time'. Not sure if there will be a next time.

Came here with a group of colleagues for an evening meal after reading great reviews online. What a gem of a place. We were served by the friendliest, lovliest waiting staff and the food was so tasty and really good value for money for the high quality. The puddings are especially delicious.

7 of us visited Saturday 16th March for my wife's birthday It was the first time for some and we had been talked up about the place Sitting down the music bing played was so loud we could barely have a conversation It was turned down at our request but a meal is to have a chat with friends not entertain the waitresses as they chat with each other! We ordered drinks which took over 10 mins to arrive Ordering food 4 of us asked for belly pork which we were told was off! We looked at the specials board which had half the quantity of items on the website? I ordered the prawn and chorizo stew as a starter which was small containing 4 prawns..wow! The curry I ordered as a main was two bits of fried chicken rice and a small pot of sweet curry sauce In fact the very same curry sauce as those having fish and chips had This was not a mains dish but some made up aberration! All dishes were small portions and no one raved about the food I was really disappointed and so was my wife It really should have been a LOT better!
