YSP Restaurant in Wakefield

Soup only option without veggie spread or onion bhaji wrap, it was very tasty and came with two chunks of bread so filling. Cold drinks over priced.

Just expensive warm lasagne would not eat there again

Banging food. I'd come here for lunch more often if I didn't have to pay a tenner to get in.

All good. Good service and pleasant food.

Light and airy, food good, nice place to read or sketch, good for family walks, safe to walk alone for contemplation, to sit on the grass in meditation, great place to picnic, plenty to occupy children great for adults I have personally taken people with severe learning disabilities and was amazed by their reactions one man in particular did not just surprise and move me but several strangers around us.

Good food and not overly expensive, fantastic views.

Effective gallery cafe. Very nice soup. Good cake options. Not overpriced. Separate serveries for food & drinks not ideal, particularly when busy.

Absolute rip off, £18 for two cans of pop a sandwich, muffin and a coffee, sandwich was like a school dinner and so was the restaurant

Got a fish butty and chips. The reason for the 4/5 is I thought the fish was a bit dry. Only mine though as my girlfriend disagreed and said to just use the tartare sauce to help 🤷🏻‍♂️ Plenty of tables to sit on and some good bits of art to look at, or take in the view of the grounds

Very nice restaurant with a balcony overlooking the lovely views. Tea and Cake was very nice. Quite spacious inside and a fair range of food on offer.

Stopped for coffee and a cake. All okay.

Dismal courgette tart which was probably 3" in circumference and very sparsely filled with a strange spoonful of tomato gloop on top and no trimmings at all until my son asked for a few leaves and that was literally what he got! Should have read other reviews and gone elsewhere.....

Beautiful setting but food not good. £5 for a bowl of insipid soup and some dry bread was disappointing.

We pre-ordered the afternoon tea, at £18.95 it includes entry to the park if you're already planning on going to the park this is a similar price to a high street cafe or hotel with a beautiful view, if you're lucky enough to get a good seat. The food itself is good I particularly enjoyed the cheese on toast, quiche and scone. The cake seemed a little bit of a let down but I'm still waiting to find a tourist destination cafe in England with excellent cakes so this was no great surprise. The decor of the café is something of a let down given the setting in the grounds. But the food was worthwhile and the Sculpture park is a worthwhile day out in itself, highly recommended.

Wide selection of food and beverages. Good view over Sculpture Park.

Enjoyed our day and our lunch...

Very pleasant visit. Food was good, reasonably priced and nice and clean. Nice location for lunch.

Good quality, tasty sandwiches and coffee, a good selection of drinks and snacks, but everything is overpriced. Unsurprising given you don’t have any options whilst visiting the park, you may also struggle for seating.

Always clean and plenty of seating

Popped in for a drink after enjoying a walk round the park. Pot of tea was good but hot chocolate came in a miserably small mug and was barely warm. For the prices being charged, I expect a decent size hot drink as a minimum.

Lovely surroundings in the cafe right next to the park and coffee is good

Busy but efficient with great choice of great food. No booking required! 👍

Great food at a good price. The Mac & Cheese is fantastic.

It's always lovely to visit the YSP restaurant, the views are incredible and the food is locally sourced and delicious.

Nice food at a good price. Queuing for said food can take a long time.

Good food to end an enjoyable walk.

Oh my, absolutely fabulous quality. I struggled to choose which dish to choose as they all looked incredible. I went with the mushroom risotto ☺️ so much flavour.

Could have been a really enjoyable morning which was spoilt by the so called restaurant, really a cafe! being dog unfriendly insisting we sat outside with our small well-behaved dog in November, if we wanted to eat. Trying to eat a hot meal outside on a damp day under an inadequate parasol in drizzle was a challenge. The food had a chance of being good if it had not gone cold so quickly.

Food was nice, but there's s a very limited range on offer. Staff are friendly and there are a good range of facilities. It's situated in the sculpture park so it's got some pretty interesting views

Sandwiches not great. Custard the same.

Nice cafe with excellent service but, not surprisingly, a bit lacking in atmosphere.

Feels like eating in a busy canteen, but the food really is good!

Visited YSP in October ‘22. Decided to have breakfast in the café. The food was okay, but only just. Everything was under foil on a hot plate, so not as fresh as a local cafe. However, while there was a menu item for a “light breakfast”, I had to ask if there was a regular (heavy?) breakfast! It was a bit pricey, but I guess you’re paying for the view too. No black pudding, and hash browns instead of fried bread 🤔

Good food and a varied menu, different every time we visit. Stunning views if you can manage to get a table either side of the window. My wife has mobility problems but it's never an issue in the restaurant or anywhere at the YSP

Boxed sandwich and cup of soup deal was very good ! It could be better to include a tea, coffee or other drink in the price. Where else can you walk around in the open air looking at great art displays from great artists including Henry Moore.

Chicken and bacon sandwiches were amazing

A good selection of fresh cooked foods arca reasonable price. Nice views too. The big fault is you queue for your hot food then have to join the queue for cold food and drinks, by the time you've paid and sat down its luke warm.

Definitely can recommend for a lunch. Good food and reasonable variety. Can get busy but always good service. You can sit outside weather permitting but plenty of room indoors. Excellent place to go especially in the summer. Something for all ages and good food. As a tip do make sure you're wearing sensibly footwear though as to get the best out of here there's plenty of walking to do. 👍

Good food, reasonable variety. Busy, but good service. Sitting outside was a challenge with the wasps, but indoors was nice enough. A little pricey.

Great venue as we supplied a disco for Ella and Thomas wedding and what a fantastic venue. Absolutely amazing staff and great food

Doughy squidgy croissants oh no! Hepworth has the best croissants and YSP used to have similar (if not the same). As a croissant-for-breakfast lover, very disappointed today ☹️Good coffee though

What a beautiful place, the grounds are stunning. As canteens go this is great I'm gluten free and there was a sandwich 🎉

Meals off the counter were not very hot.Fresh ones were brought from somewhere which were a lot warmer. Food was tasty.

Attended the poetry reading. Brilliant setting, but would have been great outside. Very friendly and a lovely event.

Advertised as push chairs friendly, wouldn't say it even comes close. Lovely grounds and art work though. The cafe in the main center was a little over priced as you come to expect but the restaurant within the grounds was reasonable and very nice, highly recommend the eggs Benedict. Nice day out, but if you have a small child I'd take a baby carrier and tread carefully.

A delightful surprise to find a good selection of food here at reasonable prices. Good to know that some places of interest don't 'milk' their customers because there's no competition. Long may this last! Staff were friendly and helpful too, which promoted a great ambience. Thank you YSP x

Good place to restore oneself after a long walk around all the sculptures. Clean, and generous.

Better than average cafe food. Main attraction is the view. Milk based coffees could be better.

Great place for a walk, currently Jan 2022 all the galleries are closed so only the outside sculptures to see but worth a visit.

What a great place this is! If you like sculptures-great. If you want a walk in lovely country-great. Fancy a nice coffee or a snack- they do that too. However, if like me you like doing it all, this place is definitely worth the visit!! Check weather as most of the displays are outdoors!!

Decent food at decent prices, as museums go at least

Menu looked good but very mediocre. Cold chips- dried up fish cake. Disappointed

Always great food. Friendly staff. Lovely surroundings. Can't fault it

I attended as part of a wedding reception. The staff were lovely. The food was great. There are two lifts to provide access. Lovely views and also the opportunity to sit out on the balcony.

Lovely day at YSP with so much to see. Lunch was very poor. Very limited menu, mostly tasteless vegetarian food, some vegetables undercooked to the point of raw, and all of this cold after a crazy queuing system. Really poor.

Excellent food and very helpful staff.

Excellent place to go if you're the artistic type.Something for all ages and good food as well. Make sure you're wearing sensibly footwear though because there's plenty of walking to do.

Good restaurant with good food. It is all prepared before ordering so isn't as fresh as I would like but due to the popularity of the site I can imagine it's more efficient this way. Views from the restaurant are stunning and the cake and coffee is great. Would recommend the breakfast rolls!

Nice cafe, prices are the same as every other place like this. Was clean and staff friendly

Good food, but the ordering process could have been more efficient.

Ordered the fish without checking the prices. £9 for cold fish and courgettes. Absolute rip off. Dont bother wasting your money.

Poor choice for hot breakfast , only over price bacon or sausage sandwiches pre made and going dry on counter, add an egg for 75p, very disappointed will not be renew membership if things don’t improve,

Excellent service, great veggie and vegan options.

Not there for the sculpture. It will always be a place I lived and lost and learned.....Bretton Hall College and Bretton Country Park.

Doing a good under difficult circumstances Stunning views... .

Unnecessarily limited range, plenty of space but Covid hygiene barely adequate.

It was always expensive school dinners here but the range and quality have gone down. You always used to be able to wash down the substandatd trough with a glass of wine and console yourself that the exorbitant prices were helping support the arts, but really they've slipped below acceptable now and stopped serving wine. Lovely staff and superb location though, so still worth going, but set your expectations for the food to low.

Even with current limited menu the food is great quality. Sausage and egg sandwich started our day walking around the park perfectly 👍

Reasonable choice of food but it is always lukewarm or cold. The coffee is good.

Basic and expensive. Americano with milk was without milk and chocolate loaf was dry factory cake with a bit of buttercream. Lots of room for improvement.

Well organised with the current situation. Good selection of food and drinks.

Nice selection of cakes, sandwiches and hot food

As seems usual with such places poor choice of food, poor value eg £4.75 for a prepacked triangle sandwich. Most people had their own food with them as did we as they had been before. When will the management of these charity based attractions learn that you make more money by offering good quality, choice and good value. Look at Britain's most successful independent Pub chain Wetherspoons. If you give better than people expect they want to buy from you, if you give less they remember to bring their own in future.

Great hot chocolate and cakes with a view across Yorkshire Sculpture Park

Great views from the restaurant across the parkland. Good food if a bit expensive.

Modern eating area, quirky menu with plenty of healthy options, kids menu,vegetarian and gluten free. Car parking nearby, within the grounds of Yorkshire sculpture park. Great place to meet friends and family for food and a walk. Local produce used where possible.

Recommend you don't have the squid (cold and chewy) or the roast aubergine (cold)

Good restaurant with friendly staff and local fresh ingredients. Good on food intolerances offering cakes which are both dairy and gluten free - yum for those of us who often have to miss out!

Overall I'm disappointed, the chips were not tasty, and overpriced. "bucket" of chips is more like a cup. The hot chocolate wasn't nice at all and cost way too much. Definitely won't be coming back here.

Food all over the floor. Bad design as kitchen door is in the path of the long queue of people so lots of near misses. Waited 40mins for food. Order mixed up. Forgot one of our dishes. Disaster Mothers Day visit.. Also we were told there were no wheelchairs when there were stacks of them.. Food was poor. Poor Mum.

Had sandwich & cup of tea. Very nice

Near end of lunchtime service. Food lukewarm.

Very busy as it was half term but very efficient staff. Good food

Good food both hot and cold but not cheap. Can get very busy, on popular days you will have to wait and queue.

Lovely atmosphere and nice staff

Good food (great chips) fast service and wonderful view. Good on a warm day when you can sit outside on the balcony.

I would have given five stars for the chips alone but the small tub of ice cream was extortionate hence the 4 stars.

Visited late in the afternoon but still good choice of cold snacks available and hot drinks on cold winter day. Amazing views from restaurant .

Stale bread on both kids ham sandwich and my goats cheese and pepper salad sandwich. Stale/old chocolate cake.Expensive.

Nice place, good food. Queues at tills are a bit disorganised

Well priced, home-made, delicious food after a mega walk in the park. There's a reason we keep going back 👌

Very accommodating with dietary requirements. They adapted a dish for me to make it vegan without any problem.

Fantastic food and views. Very busy. Recommended.

There idea of statues are a bit weird--you know what they should look like but they have slightly altered them? dining area ---steelwalkway of names at least the length of a football pitch---loose sheep in the field so mind where you tread it's all over the path down to the lake ALLOW at least a hour to walk round the lake plenty of beauty spots plus Benches---parking is about 2 to 3 hours range also l do not know what all day cost?--there is also a musical iron Bench which needs to be touched to play -- plenty of open spaces so pick a clear day or take a brolly? it's a big place but no idea how many cars they can cater for? GET there early

Had pie and peas at very reasonable rates, plus a lovely view

Very good food.Nice restaurant!

Good food at reasonable prices. Great views of the park . Plenty of room for prams and wheelchairs. Easy access to the underground gallery via the lift.

Realy enjoyed my visit to YSP. great cakes. .friendly staff

Just dropped in for a tea and bun, good...

Lovely food & beautiful art and nature.
