Queen's Mill Tearooms: a warm, welcoming local atmosphere with food and drink to match
The Queen's Mill Tearooms are a luxurious tearoom located in a scenic spot on the River Aire. Welcoming walkers, cyclists, friends and families and their furry friends.
The business chose to open in Castleford as it was close to their home base and the specific area had a gap in the market for eateries.
They love the Wakefield District due to its "ongoing investment in new housing" leading to a larger customer base for local businesses.

Wakefield First has been able to offer the business free, curated business support in the form of assistance with funding and grants. They also greatly appreciate the 'face to face' support that we regularly offer to local businesses.
"A very good range of funding options with opportunities to meet 'can do' Wakefield First representatives face to face."
Up next the tearooms plan on creating exciting new internal decorations to bring even more atmosphere and life to their premises.
The Queen's Mill Tearooms are also heavily involved with the local community.
"We work with many community based cycling & walking groups along with various community groups who visit the tearoom for informal & formal get togethers."
"We are very proud to have won England's Business Awards 2022 best tearoom for the Yorkshire region & then to follow this up with runner up for the UK 2022 award."
"We also have two colleagues with additional needs who have worked with us since day one, these guys are very popular with the customers and embody how our workforce operate as a family, all aiming at the same goal re ‘consistent customer enjoyment & satisfaction."
