McDonald's

You know exactly what you're getting when you roll up to this McDonald's on Snowhill Retail Park, but that's precisely the point. Open round the clock, it's become the unofficial late-night headquarters for shift workers, students cramming for exams, and anyone who needs proper chips at 3am when the rest of Wakefield has long since called it a night. The staff here move with the kind of efficiency that puts other fast food joints to shame, and their coffee is genuinely better than it has any right to be. Sure, the setting's hardly inspiring – standard retail park fare with all the charm of a car park – but when you're after a reliable breakfast muffin before an early start or need somewhere warm to sit between shopping trips, it does the job without any fuss.
