"If you are anywhere near Pontefract and you fancy a nice coffee and something to eat then you won't go far wrong by visiting DJs Café at Maud's Yard, (off Market Place), Pontefract, WF8 1AQ Tel. 07947 395981. I was actually on a journey to Durham and decided to break the journey at Pontefract. Having never been there before I was delighted to find a warm welcome at DJs Café and delicious cheese and ham sourdough toasties. Hannah, who runs the business, is very professional and friendly. I could see there were several regulars who were enjoying their drinks and eats. I think the opening hours are Tuesdays 9am to 12.30pm. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 9am to 3pm. Saturday 8am to 3pm. Closed Mondays and Sundays. The toasties were the very best and kept us going for several hours. The bakewell cake I took away was absolutely delicious and so fresh that even though I didn't eat it until 32 hours later it was still very fresh. Pontefract is definitely worth a visit if you are nearby. There is a great indoor market with a good variety of wares on sale. Parking is available at Morrison's supermarket, Stuart Road, WF8 1BT and it is only a short walk to the market place and Maud's Yard where you will find DJs Café. Thank you to the bakers and Hannah. To have a nice breakfast including coffee for two at under £17.00 is very good value and so fresh Thank you."

"We decided that we 'd start off our long bank holiday weekend with a trip to The Bosphorus Bistro. We used to go regularly pre-covid, and have had takeaways since, but have fallen out of the habit of going out to restaurants. We 've realised that 's a mistake. We had a lovely evening. The food was fantastic, just as good as ever, and the service was excellent with that great balance of just enough chat and engagement (and great recommendations from the menu). It felt so good to be back eating great food in a lovely place, so much so that we booked in again as we paid the bill. Thank you to all of the team at Bosphorus, looking forward to coming back in a week or so."

"I called ahead to inquire about their gluten-free options and was assured they could accommodate. However, upon arriving, I discovered a very limited menu with cold food and scarce amounts of meat in the dishes. The experience did not meet my expectations and I do not plan on returning. The service was average, with the meal being a dinner service that cost between £30-40 per person. Overall, the atmosphere was lackluster, earning a rating of 1 out of 5."

"The harvester has ruined Christmas 2023. We were positioned right outside a toilet and had everyone brushing past us while trying to eat. We were also next to a large family that let their children run SEMI NAKED around the table. The heating was off and it was freezing. The starters were cold soup or frozen microwaved brie. Mains consisted of cold veg which is quite impressive considering they had been overcooked to the point they were practically mush, paired with meat which had the consistency of leather soaked in brown water that was supposedly gravy Puddings were a choice of the smallest peice of Christmas cake soaked in lumpy custard or 3 profiteroles. Credit where its due, the floor staff were exceptional. Only to be let down by the manager, Neil prior, with his fake accent, who apparently couldn't process a refund despite claiming to be the owner. I have had to leave without any form of refund only an email. I have never heard such rubbish of a manager unable to process a refund. I will never visit this establishment again and would urge others not to. £280 to ruin Christmas. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS IN RESPONSE TO NEILS REPLY 26/12: The room was freezing, even staff commented that the heating was off and should've been on. We saw many surrounding tables with full plates being collected by staff. I understand that it is Neil's responsibility to protect the business' reputation but lying is not the way to do it. Still waiting on a refund and will update as this continues UPDATE 27/12 After raising a formal complaint with harvester, I received an email yesterday evening advising I'd be called by an area manager today this has not happened and harvester continue to spoil the holidays and I've also noticed the few false reviews that have popped up since this review Update 28/12 Spoke to Jennifer who processed my refund and was absolutely lovely, when I went to collect it though I could see neil skulking about in the background still looking scruffy. Overall I still rate it a 1 star experience based on the food but I will say that apart from Neil, the staff at the winding wheel castleford are all brilliant EDIT 28/12 Just received a threatening phone call from Neil on my personal mobile. This is completely unacceptable Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60 Food: 1 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 1"
