The Twisted Tree in Wakefield

Excellent food and very good staff, all a fair price.

Food excellent.staff friendly and service is good. Menu good choices.

It is one of those places you don't want to tell others about because it is already popular. Great breakfast.

Six of us visited 2 weeks ago for lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. I had the Wild Boar Burger which came with salad, home made coleslaw and homemade chips. It was absolutely terrific and great value for money, the young ladies serving were very efficient and very warm and friendly. We will be back soon.

Loved it! Not been for ages so nice to see the place is still good and thriving

Amazing food and menu - particularly for vegetarian and GLUTEN FREE! massive variety and was amazing to have so much choice despite dietary requirements.

Parked down a nearby street . Lack of parking. Basic interior . Our meal was tasty , the staff were pleasant. Who wants to hear loud pounding music when you’re eating and talking ? You will never hear a review of an eating establishment saying ‘’ loved the loud pulsating beat sounds’’ Turn it either off or play soothing music , quietly. Oh yes take paper hankies , the loo paper is from the fifties

Been wanting to try for a while, great service, lovely atmosphere and great food, can’t wait to come back

Fantastic meal with the wife and two daughters for our anniversary. The starter of nachos was brilliant and the Korean belly port amazing. Will be going back soon! Thank you.

Great place, food and service. A very happy customer and we will come back.

Fabulous service, extra touches for our anniversary made breakfast super special! Thank you so much 🙏

I recently visited The Twisted Tree for breakfast, and it exceeded my expectations! I ordered the all-day breakfast, which was not only incredibly tasty but also came in a huge portion that was perfect for starting the day. The eggs were cooked just right, the bacon was crispy. The presentation of the food was appealing, and everything was served hot and fresh. The ambiance of the café is perfect for a relaxed meal or even catching up with friends. The decoration adds to the cozy vibe, and I felt comfortable sitting there for a while. What really stood out was the attentive service. The staff were friendly and polite, constantly coming over to check if we needed anything but without being intrusive. If you're looking for a place with great food, excellent service, and a pleasant atmosphere, The Twisted Tree is definitely worth a visit!

Visited The Twisted Tree with my husband and daughter Dec 2023 for the Christmas Festive Menu which at the time was lovely !!! We decided to visit again Dec 2024 and invited our family for the Festive Menu. We had booked our time, and on arrival were seated at the smallest table right next to the bar and kitchen. Servers and other customers were constantly walking past our table and in and out the entrance, knocking us and it was so cold. We couldn’t move tables due to how full the restaurant was. The year before we were seated in the heated gazebo outside, it was lovely, throw blankets and very festive - completely different to the atmosphere this time - dark and cold. The food was such a disappointment - not how we remembered from the previous year. Bacon wrapped round a fatty turkey roulade - none of us ate. Hard vegetables and bland tasting. Previous year vegetables were served in individual dishes and tasty. Family members ordered the lemon posset - again disaster - liquid sweet syrup - they didn’t eat it !!! We paid over £200 to be cold, knocked and tasteless food. We paid and left. I contacted the Twisted Tree to confirm how unhappy we were. They did eventually respond offering a voucher and to return. Nothing came…. I contacted them two further times …. Again ignored. To date I still have not heard from the restaurant nor received an apology or voucher. We live locally and would have visited more. Seems because they have good reviews they choose to ignore bad reviews or people who complain - not good for business but happy to take your money.

Great friendly staff and delicious food. We had the Korean belly pork and chicken supreme, both were very tasty..

Good food. Better to book. Now have a nice bar.

Called in first thing for a coffee with a colleague and was met with a warm friendly welcome. Staff explained that the coffee machine was being fixed so would we mind waiting 10 minutes or so. In the end we got 2 pots of tea, proper Yorkshire Tea and enjoyed our meeting. We were so impressed that we booked a table for lunch and as agreed popped back about midday. Again we were made to feel so welcome and the choice and quality of the food was unbelievable. We both opted for the Cajun Chicken Flatbread and also a portion of their homemade chips and I can honestly say the whole meal was delicious - probably one of the nicest Cajun Chickens I’ve ever had and the chips were to die for! Service was excellent and we were looked after by Tia on both occasions and she is an amazing asset to The Twisted Tree - she is so polite, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. I loved coming to The Twisted Tree and will definitely be returning next time I’m in the area for business.

2nd visit and remain impressed with all aspects of it. Great service, food faultless and tasty. Food is prepared with a good attention to detail that is reassuring. Cannot wait for next month's menu

Loved the whole experience the food was brilliant the place was fantastic and the staff so helpful and efficient.our 1st visit but will definitely return.

Excellent food and friendly service, nothing was to much trouble, very accommodating!

Always spot on any issues and the staff are on it to solve it straight away. New bar area is stunning! One of the top restaurants for food in the area!

My husband and I came for Valentine’s Day, Twisted Tree did not disappoint! Absolutely lovely and welcoming atmosphere and the food, wow! Chicken schnitzel 👌 Love the new bar area, so relaxed! Perfect that it’s only down the road from us

The new bar is great. We are local and its just perfect in what we we want in a local area. We went for valentines night out and the staff were very attentive and friendly. Special shout out to our waitress Esme and the lady at the bar (we think called Lauren/had brown hair!). The staff were very friendly and down to earth . The venue is very modern, reasonably priced and great venue. The only feedback we have is you cant tip on your card and people rarely have cash nowadays 🙂

What a wonderful refurbishment of an old pub. The choice of food was wonderful, excellent customer service and a really lovely experience for all ages.

Meal with a colleague. Stayed at hotel two min walk up the road. Found the Twisted Tree on Trip Advisor so thought we’d try. Really glad we did as it was fantastic. Great service, great atmosphere, fabulous food and sensibly priced. Really enjoyed the experience and would certainly recommend. We could not fault the place, thank you for your hospitality.

Great food, great atmosphere, the waitress esme was very friendly and helpful

Great food friendly staff nice atmosphere. Only negative was the parking is very limited.

Amazing food served here, frequented regularly, service great with very friendly staff. Advise booking as it can get very busy

Always excellent food, wine and service

I attended TwistedTree restaurant on 29/0¹/ 2025. The premises were cordial and inviting. Were very relaxing atmosphere. My friends and u ordered food and the staff were

Really great food-so tasty and great value for money! Lovely snug venue and great service-highly recommended! The new bar looks gorgeous too-can’t wait to pop in for a drink!

What a wonderful hidden gem. The food is out of this world. Reasonable priced, too, which is an added bonus. We had our gender reveal here today they catered for 20 guests. All the food orders were correct. They did separate bills to save time at the end. The staff was brilliant and helped us dress the tables ready for our guests. To which every guest commented how wonderful the place and food were. The only downfall is that the car park is really small, but cars can be parked close by . Highly recommend.

realy good in every way best food best staff

Super evening with family for a birthday meal. Food and service very good. Plenty of interaction and check backs from the team for drinks. Will definitely return in the future.

Had a another great night with my friend, staff fantastic, ambience lovely and food is to die for. Lamb kofta to start as a sharer, chicken Katsu Curry for my friend and I had Pancetta wrapped Cod with new potatoes and a tomato 🍅 sauce, all beautiful. Lovely rose wine too, thanks to everyone at Twisted Tree, see you again soon.

Food was delicious. Freshly cooked, great flavours and reasonably priced considering the quality. I’ll be back! Service was great and a lovely atmosphere.

First time but definitely not the last

Another fantastic meal this evening for my birthday great food great service, chilled out atmosphere.

Me and my friend enjoyed a lovely dinner here, the only downside was sat in the conservatory and people kept leaving the door open which was cold. Apart from that the food and staff were amazing. I will be returning

Excellent New Years Eve Murder Mystery party. The food was delicious, the service was excellent and the effort that went into the murder mystery was just outstanding! They had catered for everyone food wise and game wise. Quizzes on the table that lead to clues for those less inclined to mingle and fantastic scripts for those that really wanted to get involved. The bonus rounds were hilarious. Massive thanks and congratulations to the event organisers. It was brilliant, I’d highly recommend and hope to be back next year to improve my mystery solving skills!

Lovely little restaurant in Castleford. Delicious menu. Only slight gripe is the cakes are kept in the fridge so the sponge and fillings were a bit solid!

Excellent meal and service , good value for money

I highly recommend the New Year's Eve party! We had a fantastic time at the 80s murder mystery evening - what a great way to see in the new year! The 3 course meal was delicious, the service was great, so much effort had gone into creating the murder mystery evening so that everyone could be involved as much or as little as they wanted, and we had a very warm welcome. Thanks everyone - we had a blast!

New Year’s Eve 80s themed murder mystery party was fantastic. The food was delicious, the staff were welcoming and friendly and the service was excellent. The murder mystery was genius, big thanks to Wayne and Diane. We had a great time, chatting with others, solving clues, listening to great music and completing challenges- as we tried to work out whodunnit. We didn’t work it out… but the evening was brilliant. Would def recommend.

Beautiful little place, amazing food and great service!

Had a great breakfast here this morning. Service was a little slow but it was busy. Staff friendly and food fresh and tasty. Lovely relaxed atmosphere.

Good quality food really friendly staff

Listen up, get yourself a burger with some bacon and mayo plus ketchup and you will want to come back!

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.

Had an evening meal here in the small room with the bar. Heard the belly pork was really good so both ordered that. Quite disappointed as it was overcooked. Also only bottled beer available. Staff pleasant and efficient. Nice atmosphere.

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

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.

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 :)

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

Absolutely amazing food and service

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

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🥰

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

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!

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

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

Food gorgeous, staff lovely and friendly, very professional

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.

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.
