3 Places For A Good Brunch Near Wakefield

As much as I dislike the word, getting brunch is definitely one of my favourite things to do (and is something I do probably more often than I should) and (thanks to Natalie being my guide) I've discovered some absolutely banging, if you'll excuse my bad use of the English language, places to eat near where I live.

So if you're into brunch (or we can just call it breakfast to be fair) and you're in or near the Wakefield area, then make sure you check out the following for some bloody excellent food!

It's inside Spring Green Nurseries garden centre, but it's a lot more than your stereotypical garden centre café. The pancake/waffle stacks are these absolutely huge creations and I would highly recommend them, but if you're more of a savoury person all your usual breakfast offerings are on the menu too. The only thing they don't really cater for is vegans! The decor is an Instagrammers dream, although it's not a backdrop I've made use of as I've always been far too focussed on the food! It's walk ins only and can get quite busy as it's popular, but they have a handy system where you pop a buzzer in your pocket and have a mosey round the garden centre until they buzz to let you know there's a table for you.

I've tried both and not been disappointed so far! It's definitely one of those vegan cafes where everything is so good that non-vegans won't feel like they're missing out; I even had vegan cheese on my latest visit (which I usually despise) and it was surprisingly good! They offer pretty much every kind of alternative milk for coffees too.

Blacker Hall Farm shop has a lovely café, again serving both sweet and savoury brunch options. I found it really difficult to decide what to have because there was so much good looking food (resulting in me getting the same as the other people I was with because hashtag food envy). There's also a drive through offering, but I don't know what the menu is like for that. It does get busy so I would maybe recommend booking depending on how many people are eating. I could have spent a hefty amount of money in the farm shop if let loose too!
