Best Restaurants for Afternoon Coffee in Pontefract

Empire Cafe food and service was outstanding! Every plate was delicious, seasonal & looked stunning. The team here are so friendly and helpful, the wine knowledge as well of suggestions of what we might like.

Another superb experience at Bavette! The menu was even more amazing than usual with our choices mackerel and crab tartlet for starters and divine turbot for our mains. Somehow we squeezed in a cheese board and frangipani tart! I love that these guys are absolutely not resting on their laurels and the tide of incredible reviews they have received, Clement and team are just as focused on providing a wonderful experience as they were during our first visit a year ago. Already looking forward to next visit and would encourage any lovers of fabulous food served in a friendly atmosphere to visit!

Absolutely wonderful afternoon tea in Betty's where the service was amazing and we were looked after by a girl called Rosie who is an absolute asset and credit to the tea rooms

Having pre booked for afternoon tea, we skipped the crowds straight to our reserved table, the atmosphere was brilliant, with the piano playing in the background, everyone was loving it, the food and service was excellent, you can order more sandwiches if required , within the initial price, they even accommodated with boxing up anything left we wanted to take home, will definitely be visiting again!

Lovely service. We had Sunday lunch. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Loved the mushroom pie. Good roast dinner - chicken was best option.
