Somehow the Falls Wood cafe manages to be clean and bright whilst adhering to the ancient Yorkshire tenet of good food in large quantities for not much money. I was very impressed by the fast service with a smile and by the fact that my breakfast was piping hot and more than filled the plate (and that was just the medium breakfast at £3.50 including tea and toast). Looking at the menu it's obvious that the cafe offers a wide range of hot and cold food and all at reasonable prices. Great cup of tea too!

I wasn't disappointed in the slightest with my huge plate of cholesterol. Bacon, eggs, sausages, beans, toast , hash brown (hold the tomato though) and a tea or coffee for £4 represents excellent value. The stuff was all cooked the way I like it, and I was even able to eat it out on the charmingly painted outdoor furniture which was a bonus. One of the finest fry-ups (including my dad's) I've ever had. Go there and Eat!

Nicely located on a road that takes you to and from Leeds as well as being a home to many businesses itself, it is equally popular with office folk and builders.

The bill for three courses 2 bottles of wine and 4 beers for four was less than a £100 , a winner all round, will definitely go again.

So with half an hour to kill before a hair appointment, I popped in to Truly Scrummy for a brew and…read morea bite. Boasting locally sourced food and home baked cakes, scones & tray bakes, it was a fair bet that I was going to like the place, and I wasn't disappointed. I was greeted warmly when I came in, I ordered tea and a toasted teacake and was invited to take a seat. There are 8 tables with 3-4 seats at each, so a decent amount of space. It's completely open plan so you can see the food prep & cooking area, I watched the two chefs chopping veg and putting in a big pot on the stove, and preparing the pastry cases for some kind of quiche or flan, and the smells were just delicious! My tea arrived in a teapot with a separate pot of milk, which always makes me happy as I'm dead fussy about my brew. My teacake was large and generously buttered which, again, pushed my happiness buttons. As I supped I eyed the scrummy looking cakes and tray bakes under the glass domes, slightly gutted that I didn't have time to indulge today. Perusing the menu it looks full of delights, from breakfast staples with a local emphasis (like the griddled dry cured yorkshire bacon sandwich, or the local pork sausage sandwich) to paninis, jacket potatoes, wraps, soups and much more. The loss of one star comes purely from a pricing front. £4.20 for a bacon sandwich or £6.80 for a panini is just a touch over the limits for me. Perhaps that's a little unfair as you can clearly see (literally!) the care and attention that goes into preparing the food. Who knows, perhaps when I come back and eat more, and I definitely will be back, I might eat them and decide the quality justifies it, but until then, four stars it is.

If you turn off you'll find free parking and an excellent views of the runaway for plane spotting. This place does get busy as people are taking flying lesson but there are alot of parking spaces. You are very close to the runaway and get great views of the plane taking off and landing. There is also a lovely cafe bar which sells refreshments and cakes. The staff were very helpful and friendly.Also there are toilets inside too. There is seating both indoors and out and on a clear sunny day it is lovely to site out with a drink and watch all the planes.

Sunday is a good day to call in, as they feature a roast dinner, so we figured we'd try it out. The venue is amazing, nicely spaced tables and two beautifully restored rooms. I noted the menu was small but perfectly formed. My wife and son had grilled sandwiches and he managed to wolf down his very tasty looking lemon drizzle cake before his chicken and chorizo wrap arrived. I opted for the roast beef and it was a good choice. Very slow roasted brisket arrived in a long chunky strip, accompanied with mashed swede, roast potatoes, mange tout and a very yummy Yorkshire. The gravy was fantastic, no doubt thanks to all that slow roasting and I think it'll not be long before we return. Special mention of the pistachio cake, sadly not available today, but if it's on then grab a slice...you won't be disappointed.
