Risby Park Fishing Ponds (Fishing Dawn till Dusk) & Folly Lake Cafe

"Visited the cafe while on a walk. Hidden away in a wood but well advertised locally. Food looked lovely and it was very popular. The only problem was Cash Only which we will remember for our next visit!"

"Enjoyed after a short walk. Fantastic food, good value, slight delay in service due to them being busy but we were advised of that before ordering so no real problem. Will certainly visit again."

"Tucked away off a quiet country lane with fishing lakes on site. Pleasant area to walk around but can get very muddy. The cafe has indoor and outdoor seating looking over the lakes. There's a good range of savoury light bites and delicious homemade cakes. Hot and cold drinks including alcoholic ones. The staff are all very friendly and efficient. Best to take cash with you as no card payments only bank transfers. Popular spot for walkers, cyclists and anglers."

"We just discovered this place for the Puffin trail. It’s a good place with lovely views. The cafe was warm and cosy, and the friendly staff was. It's easy to access by car, not far from the main road. I saw some people around the ponds with their baits, looking fun. The cake and coffee were good. You have to pay cash or bank transfer; they don't take card payments."

"Only discovered this place thanks to the Yorkshire Puffin Trail. They've got one of the puffins here between the lakes. There's plenty of parking areas. Lovely wooded countryside. Great little café (plagued by wasps, but they're only pollinators so easy enough to let them be.) which serves fantastic homemade cakes. Yum! The area is very much an angler's/ fisherman's zone with no access around the lakes for the public, as is made abundantly clear by the plethora of (some shouty) signs. But of course, folk being folk, they get word and sign blind and carry on regardless, tsk tsk. I would have liked to walk to the folly by the lake too but no access. Ra rah for the puffin helping me discover more territory!"
