Absolutely amazing food and great staff too. We had the sharing platter as a starter and be warned it is huge. Absolutely gorgeous but definitely don't order mains as well if you aren't big eaters. The only disappointment was the cake! We ordered a malteser cake but it was just rich chocolate cake with a couple of maltesers on top and it was also very dry. You can take the cakes to go but desert is eat in only. Service is quick and they are very attentive. We will definitely go again.

Attended for lunch last week to celebrate my birthday with my friend. We both had a sandwich and shared some onion rings. The sandwich filling was very generous and tasted flavourful. We got ciabatta and the bread was fresh and a decent size. The onion rings portion was also generous and they were proper homemade chunky onion rings. The staff were friendly and competent.

My favourite restaurant in castleford. Love the eggs benedict! My son loves the full english even though I just order him a few items and the home made pancakes! Coffee is lovely too. Always make you welcome

Went for dinner last night. Service was absolutely perfect, lovely staff and speedy service. Food was absolutely delicious. We both mixed and matched from the main menu & the specials menu and we were accommodated perfectly. Atmosphere was lovely for a Monday evening and the price was very reasonable. Would recommend to anyone.

This was the second time I’ve been lucky enough to eat at The Twisted Tree. The first time was great and we went at lunch time. It was busy but they accommodated our family of four. We sat outside the first time in the tent but this time we came in the evening and were able to sit inside. I absolutely love the decor and the ambient lighting makes the dining room feel really intimate and special. It’s got a rustic feel to it with all of the wood and each table is different which really adds character. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. It was a special evening for me as I was meeting up with my two childhood best friends who I haven’t been out with since covid first hit.The menu is small yet has something for everyone and I always respect a restaurant that has a simple menu because you know that those dishes are ones that the chef is going to cook well. I have found that a huge menu always leaves too much room for mistakes and chaos in a kitchen. I’d rather a chef be able to focus on just a few delicious dishes and make those dishes superb. Which is exactly what we got. I ordered the Cajun Salmon which is super tasty. It comes on a bed of boiled rice with some red peppers and mango on the side and the flavors of the Cajun seasoning with the sweetness of the mango is so delicious. If you have a sweet tooth like me, they have a mouthwatering dessert menu. Because the Cajun salmon is quite a light dish, I definitely had a bit of room left over for a slice of Honeycomb Cheesecake. This is a must try if you enjoy cheesecake! It’s so tasty and worth the wait! Overall I would say that The Twisted Tree is a lovely little restaurant with plenty of tables without feeling over crowded. The atmosphere is perfect and the food, staff and location is great. We will definitely be back, next time maybe for brunch!Oh and I almost forgot, they have a shop called Twisted Vintage in the other half of the building (which used to be an old pub!) It is a really whimsical gift shop with all sorts of great home decor stuff, scarves, aprons, jewelry, seasonal decorations, greetings cards etc etc. Definitely worth a look if you’re eating there during the daytime!

Had a good time and a nice meal last night to celebrate a friends leaving work do. The food is reasonable both in flavour and price. We sat outside in the marquee. The restaurant inside is small but cosy. Parking can be tight in the busy car park but on road parking is available. Service was good, timely and friendly staff. Overall a nice evening out but take a jumper don't rely on the August British weather to be warm 🤣

The afternoon tea was Absolutely beautiful. Worth every penny. Best afternoon tea I've had - will definitely return. The waiting staff were really lovely, chatty and helpful. A quaint and different place to try
