This is one of the last remaining independent deli's in Wakefield. They have recently relocated…read morearound the corner from their original premises in Cross Square into the new revamped Bull Ring, strange though they haven't still updated their website details! As a deli it is great. However, with the move they have moved into having a coffee shop too, their coffee though is too week for my taste buds, if you like your coffee weak then this is the place for you! However, if you need good deli food then this is the place to go!

Hofmann's - proud purveyors of the best damn bread in Wakefield! There is simply no argument…read morepermissible on the issue: my family have been eating their bread for two generations now, and they are unrivalled locally. It's not just their bread either: their sandwiches are justly famous. If you need proof then just go and stand outside their main branch a little before lunchtime on any weekday, and watch the queue begin to develop until it snakes out onto the street. My personal favourite is the tuna salad - so packed with filling it requires two hands to hold it (and even then watch out!), laced with slices of hardboiled egg and crispy salad and sliced onion. Yum! Their roast ham sandwich also has always been a thing of wonder: as a child I would stare at one bemused, wondering why nowhere else gave you nearly as much filling as bread - and what fine quality ham at that, nothing but the best. Of course I must mention their cakes here - my favourites are the vanilla slice (the finest pink icing in Yorkshire!) and the chelsea bun, but all of the rest are good too. Like everything about Hofmann's, it's packed with Yorkshire goodness.

Fast friendly service. Food price. Great food. No cards so bring a few quid. I think I'm going to be a regular.

After years of wondering what causes the traffic problems in Oulton I have finally found out…read more The Cottage Bakery is situated, strangely enough, in a cottage just off a major roundabout and the only customer parking is on the road side. Which is a problem when you constantly have queues. I parked someway up the road and round the corner and called in for a beef salad sandwich. No sign what so ever of any wussy thin sliced processed beef, this was a seriously beefed up sandwich. A lovely soft breadcake filled to the brim (and beyond) with massive chunks of off the joint beef and lots of crisp, tasty salad (I should be writing this to the strains of falling in love again). I was tempted by the hot sandwiches and pasties and the other savouries looked divine but will have to wait for next time. Tea, coffee and hot chocolate were available and reasonably priced.

Great team in this shop. Have over 25 staff and always have the extra smile…read more Willing to go the extra mile. Also been awarded from there bakery for this effort. Big friends with the locals. And mentioned on real radio often!
