The Walnut Tree, on the face of it is good value, and you can customise your meal without problem, but the last two times we have been we have experienced unwelcome additions to the meal. Have to think hard before we go again.

After my daughter said she went to The Walnut Tree Restaurant in Wakefield and it was nice, we thought we would give it a try.
Firstly, I could not believe how greasy the seats were, they had a thick black sheen over the worn out fabric, the restaurant reminded me of a cross between a Caravan park clubhouse and a Supermarket cafe and it was definitely in need of a refurbishment. Even the menus were sticky and dirty.
The starters came 25 minutes after ordering them, which is not too bad to say it was busy but the prawn cocktails had no lemon slices or even any butter for the bread, which were the ends of a loaf, not nice.
The main courses came and 2 seconds later a girl asked us if everything was alright, I had not had a chance to find out but did not really want to comment in any case. Basically the food looked as though it was all cooked seperately then reheated and put together, which provided very little taste in the dishes, I mean, chicken cooked in onions and mushrooms with garlic would be tasty if it was all cooked together but they had definitely put some deep fried mushrooms on top of a plain cooked chicken breast and then added some "hot dog" style onions on the top, even the baked potato was a soggy microwave reheat. Big yellow chips could be seen all around the restaurant. No black pepper on the table only white pepper all round, which is fine if you're having fried eggs.
You kind of get what you pay for and to me this is perfect for those meanies who dont like paying to eat out but do not mind if it is not brilliant either. For children it is obviously fine as my daughter gave it the thumbs up.
