Bankhouse Inn in Leeds - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It was good to find a pub that actually serves homecooked food. I had the meat & potato pie, which was gorgeous and full of meat. My partner had the homemade fish pie, which really enjoyed. It was a little bit cramped in the part of the pub where you can sit with dogs,especially when there were people sat at tables that didn't have dogs. There were a couple of mums in with there children who parked them on one table and went and sat at a different one. It would be a great place to sit outside when the weather is warmer. We would go back again.

Really nice food, with lots of gluten free options. Nice atmosphere.

Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat here, but a beautiful pub with friendly and welcoming staff, and amazing views over the surrounding countryside. (Although the food we DID see coming out looked fantastic.) Edited to add: since been here for Sunday lunch and probably a 7/10? Vegetables a bit sad, but Yorkshires and meat spot on. Please don't serve gravy over the Yorkshires though without asking if you're reading this, Bankhouse! 🙏

This was our second visit to the Bankhouse, and it just gets better. The service was welcoming and friendly, and the food choice menu was impressive.

So glad it's back open. Lovely place to sit in the sun and the food and service was brilliant. The home made cheesecake was amazing.

Traditional style pub with great views, didnt try the food but looked nice

Food and service was great shame about the barking dog

Great food, great service, a real must to go. Lovely outdoor seating area to look at the views and have a meet up and a drink.

Really negative experience. Very undog friendly. Dogs have to go into a pocky part of the bar. Asked to then eat in the garden, the staff decided they weren’t going to serve the garden food…this is July….at that point gave up and went to the Greyhound. Greyhound very dog friendly and great food.

My first time trying the Bankhouse since it reopened! Beautiful views, really fresh food and lovely drinks + friendly people behind the bar and out n about in the restaurant/beer garden. This is probably one of the best beer gardens in the Pudsey area - the sounds of birds are so enjoyable as you look out onto the valley. For a non alcoholic summer drink I recommend the blackberry spritz - very sweet and refreshing without being too tangy. The club sandwich was DIVINE and the chefs hadn't scrimped on fillings. The meat was trusting and the salad leaves, cucumber and peppers were fresh and crunchy. The chips were the same vibe too! The portion size was nice and filling after a walk. It has always been a perfect location for a post stroll bite to eat but very enjoyable. You can expect to pay around £12.95 for dishes like sandwiches but the other pub classics are a bit more, you're looking at around 17/18 quid :)

Stopped for lunch, in the garden. Very good service, food well presented.

Absolutely delightful. Not too busy, but we turned up around 3 pm so may be busier early lunch, great food, perfect sizes

Warm welcome, attentive staff, great food, amazing views across valley,

Had the loveliest day for my birthday today. Excellent food, brilliant accommodating staff and lovely atmosphere. Newly crowned my favourite pub in Pudsey!

Clean, cheerful, classy, comfort food.

Very pleasant meal and catch up with friends

1st timer. Service, spot-on, friendly, polite. Attentive. Food, fresh, tasty, good portions. The venue when you arrive I thought. Maybe small maybe rundown, HOW WRONG I was. It's a TARDIS. Lovley decor. Also when weather is good then beer garden is big, lots of seats and some sheltered seating. We will be back!

Lovely meal friendly service. Sure, we'll be back.

Ale selection good and well kept.Good place to call for a lunchtime meal and a pint on a nice day.

6 of us booked table .Good service lovely outlook and food we had choice of small or large which is good for people with small appetites .We were served quickly and efficiently

Lovely pub in a fabulous scenic position. Well kept beer and the food is nice. Staff are lovely... what's more to say? Great place!

I have been to the Bankhouse on 3 x occasions over the last 2 weeks, and had a variety of meals on the menu. The Roast Dinner is personally my favourite. They are also very clued up on allergens too, which was great. I felt very safe to eat here. The staff are very friendly, dogs are welcome (but not in the main restaurant) and it even has a lovely beer garden (which fills up fast in sunny weather!)

Lovely little pub hidden in Pudsey. We ordered the chicken kiev with chips, giant Yorkshire pudding with roast chicken and veg and the sausage and mash. The Eton Mess cheesecake was hands down one of the best cheese cakes I've had. The service was a shame, very slow for a Sunday afternoon. Great menu with lots of options, especially vegetarian/vegan options.

Cosy, quiet place, a lovely stop when you are on walk 🚶‍♀️

As a couple we visited at 1.45pm on a Saturday for a pint, coffee and sandwich. We were informed we could have a drink sitting at the bar but there were no tables and no timescale for one coming free. There were at least 2 waiters standing doing nowt so they weren't run off their feet and if we could sit down at the bar with drinks we could have been served a sandwich. Despite several attempts to change their mind we had a robotic refusal. Had been many times over the years but WILL NEVER GO AGAIN

Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Great Sunday lunch.

Booked a table for 9 people. We were told on the phone the table is only for 2 hours which was fine but we were also told 3 more times whilst we were there! The food was mediocre at best, decent portions but not great, the steak wasn't seasoned and was well done even though I'd asked for it cooked medium, the veg was also over cooked. 3 people ordered the barnsley chop and none of them enjoyed it, my aunt told the staff hers was really fatty and she couldn’t even cut through it and he just said, "they're supplied locally so are all different." No apology or anything. We wouldn't return for food which is a shame as it's so local, Definitely expected better.

What an unfriendly place. Rude and unwelcoming.

This was our first visit, no problem getting a table for 2 with a dog. Staff were extremely helpful, friendly and really looked after us, especially the young girl who helped us initially and took our order. We had 3 courses with roast dinner as our mains, all were good size portions and awesome quality. Would definitely recommend and we will be back.😁

Fantastic pub and food was gorgeous

Great pub with brilliant views. Food was delicious too.

Came over from Sheffield to meet some friends. Lovely pub and food was brilliant!!

Sirloin steak was a huge disappointment, more like a minute steak, thin, tasteless and chewy. Would not recommend. Staff were polite but being a party of 11 we were crammed into a corner and food was rushed. Won’t do again.

The pub was a bit quiet the day we went, but plenty of real ale! The food was great and good portions. I would recommend it.

Friendly staff and fabulous food 😋

Spur of the moment stop for food, so glad we did. Great service, good choice on the menu and they had a very good Theakston Ale on which pleased the husband. Very good price-wise with excellent views thrown in. We will definitely return and recommend.

Lovely place! I manage it is excellent in the summer sitting outside with those beautiful views. Our food was really tasty! We had fish pie and chicken tikka salad, both extremely tasty! Highly recommended

Great food, great service. I love chilli n they did it with chip or rice, but let me do 50/50 made my day 🤔 🙃 OMG lovely crispy chips to die for

Spot on. Used to go to the Bankhouse many moons ago. It has closed and opened again a number of times but to be honest this seems to be the perfect combination of real ale options coffee and proper good honest food. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend a visit.

Great local; nice food, good staff and quality beers

Fish and chips were gorgeous as were the burgers and desserts

Great food, friendly and helpful staff and dogs!

Food was fresh , well presented and very tasty. Price is good. Staff very welcoming , polite and friendly. Decor is lovely and the beer garden is a must in summer times. Love it all.

We came here for the first time today after a lovely walk. The food was delicious and the service was great. A lovely pub!

Lovely friendly staff though obviously busy made every effort to accommodate us. Food took a while but came as large portions. Veg a little hard but the meat was very nice

The food is amazing, the beef wellington is especially good. The decor is great and the staff are perfect

A Doggone Disappointment at the Bankhouse Inn I'm all for quaint local spots with quirky rules, but the Bankhouse Inn takes the cake... and then doesn't let you eat it where you want! We called ahead to check if our furry friend could join us, and the response was a tail-wagging yes, along with a mention of a special dog-friendly area. However, upon our arrival, it was like playing musical chairs with a twist - only three specific tables were deemed worthy of their food. The catch? Those tables were like rare artifacts – visible but not available, as they were occupied by patrons who seemed to have signed an oath to only drink. After a 20-minute wait (which in dog years felt like a century), our cider finally arrived. But our efforts to flag down a waitress for food felt like trying to catch a frisbee with no arms. When we finally got a waitress to our table, she spun a yarn about "establishment rules" that would make a bureaucrat dizzy. Only those three mystical tables could partake in their culinary delights. The reason? As clear as a foggy day in London. They could've seated us in the non-dog section (sans our four-legged companion), but apparently, the kitchen's capacity to serve food doesn't extend beyond those three chosen tables. My wife, a previous patron and a self-proclaimed fan, had sung praises of this place. Today, however, I'm left feeling like we stumbled into a scene from "The League of Gentlemen" – a local pub for local people, and clearly, we weren't local enough. Our dog, equally unimpressed, rates it 2 paws down. Would not recommend, unless you enjoy a side of perplexing policies with your drink. 🐕🚫🍽️

My partner and I stumbled across the Bank House pub and what a treat. Very nice staff, location and atmosphere, but what stood out the most was the food. Easily one of the best pub lunch’s my partner and I have experienced. Fresh and beautifully cooked food, with very generous portions. Will definitely be returning

Lovely little place. Great food and friendly staff. Many thanks.

Great food, stunning view from the beer garden, dogs are allowed!

Great views in the beer garden, good food and friendly staff

Had Sunday lunch everything was absolutely spot on staff we're 10 out of 10 will be definitely going again. Had a great time with friends recommend 100%.

Delicious Sunday lunch. Excellent menu. Service also excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable time. Thanks Bankhouse.

Had a lovely seafood pie and salad ( small) . Plenty, and really tasty. Service quick.

Brilliant. great food and nice atmosphere will definitely be going again

Long time since I have been here, but it was a real eye opener,staff great, will come again soon

Nice food good size portions pleasant service.

Outstanding. The menu is a sensation, so many good traditional options, tourists will love it here, everyone will love it here. Portions are massive, food is delicious. The only downside is I didn't have room for what looked like an unbelievable dessert menu. The service could not have been better, so friendly and attentive. Brilliant pub.

Good food, good service, good prices. Dog friendly. Bit of a wait on the day I visited for our food order to be taken due to short staff but were pre-warned about that on entry/seating. Didn’t bother our group, allowed us to catch up and enjoy the view and sun. Website wouldn’t let me order pepsi max/some soft drinks for some reason but not knocking it for that.

Nice meal a great pub with a fantastic view

Brilliant place to visit. The staff were absolutely lovely. The setting is delightful. We sat in the beer garden n it was awesome. Food was really nice, but the burger had peppercorns in the mixture and I'm not a fan of peppercorns unfortunately, but that's of course just personal preference :).

Great little pub and restaurant, fantastic location and stop for a stroll afterwards, would go again, walk maybe not best for people not great at climbing hills as is abit steep

Great pub. Food was excellent. Staff are fantastic. Will definitely be going again and again.

Nice place to eat, friendly staff and clean 👌

So nice to see the refurbishment at The Bankhouse sympathetically carried out...all in keeping with it old traditions...wonderful job! Called an sat outside after a very long walk...views still amazing...food was fabulous..but the service from the staff outside was exceptional ...really knew how to work the hospitality. Thank you The Bankhouse..you were fabulous 👏

Beautiful views in a lovely area of woodlands and open fields, it's a lovely hidden jem, food was delicious and service perfect, 😋 friendly atmosphere, and dog friendly Highly recommended 👌 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our first time since the Bankhouse reopened but definitely won't be the last.

Lovely to eat at The Bankhouse again. Booked a table to eat which was a good idea as it was quite busy inside and out. Lovely food and great staff. Definitely worth it.

Called in after a long walk, warm welcome, ordered open sandwiches, gorgeous chips, all beautifully prepared. Staff were all brilliant. The highlight of the afternoon a lovely bottle of prosecco presented to my daughter and son in law from the Inn, their honeymoon, cancelled, and this was a lovely thought.. it made their day..

Had an afternoon meal all meals were excellent at a very reasonable price the staff were excellent well done will call again. For those who like traditional ale, there was an excellent pint of Timothy Taylor landlord

Pub has been refurbished to a high standard. Good choice of beers. Had excellent food. Huge portions and a varied menu.

Definitely be going again food was lovely service superb

Drinks ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibe⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

In the area for a week so first time. Friends took me there. Lovely atmosphere, welcoming and good food at reasonable prices. Definitely would return.

Lovely meal for 13 people at lunchtime on my special birthday . We ordered different dishes but all came out at same time. All food delicious , staff very helpful and cheerful. Chef even wrote Happy birthday on my sweet. I had a wonderful time. Thank you so much

The food is lovely it's great sat outside when it's good weather just a bit dull and dismal old fashioned inside could do with modernising inside

Didn't have food, but the place, service and atmosphere was great. Ideal place to stop off for a quick pitstop while walking through the country side.

Can be very clicky especially if you're a new face tend to serve the locals first like your invisible. On this occasion 25/6 all the very young staff were very hard working and friendly and polite 👍🏼 keep it up the young Sunday afternoon team 👍🏼👍🏼

If you like The Railway, you'll love coming to their newly refurbished Bankhouse. Great food, and excellent service.

Great food, well cooked nice atmosphere

Excellent! This is the best by far the Bankhouse pub has been in the past 20 years, including the ambience, service beers, food and pricing. Highly recommended 👌. Great outside seating area.

Really nice food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere. Good price.

Girlie lunch on Saturday very nice,

Great food and friendly staff. Will easily visit again.

Incredible food for fair prices and a fantastic service from the staff. Incredible views and top notch beer garden. The giant Yorkshire puddings are highly recommended.

Superb venue, historic for most people of Pudsey. Grumbles: The food is below par, all deep fried or microwaved and no on site meal prep, shame as this could become exclusive and charge more for it too. The staff are friendly and nice, but all seem overworked and under supported, you almost get that sweatshop feeling, definitely not a family pub feeling, missed opportunity again. Just add 20% onto the prices and make it the best in area. You will make more consistent income and get more people out of summer.

First time since reopened very impressed we sat in the garden and had lunch served by a waitress called chloe she was very helpful

Updated since new owner has taken over my review before was low now it's brilliant completely turned around food was awesome we ordered Lasagna and chips we ordered chicken chip for young one and I ordered the pork and egg with chips food was averagely priced pud meal prices can be hit and miss but with this place it's quality food everything tasted great. The service was excellent too 👌 World apart from my previous review so if you see any negative views below see if you can see when it was reviewed as since new owners took over this year I think the quality the food everything as jumped well up in standard and I look forward to trying other things from menu

Lovely food,friendly staff,great location

Dog friendly inside and out , nice outside seating area and great beer. Not been for food yet but was busy at 4.30 with plenty of tables reserved for dining later.

Arrived with my family for lunch. The main courses were very good and the waitress was lovely. However we were disappointed when we had a problem with the dessert. We ordered a Creme Brulee which tasted and smelt off (almost like fish so clearly was made with a bad egg). We raised this at the end with our waitress who informed the manager who then came over to tell us there was nothing wrong with the dessert and that all 4 chefs had tried it. Naturally we didn't want a replacement and asked for it to be removed from the bill, but we were still charged for it. For the sake of taking off a £6 dessert, they could of saved the embarrassment of this review.

Food limited and was served just warm not a great deal of choice

Four of us called yesterday for Sunday lunch ( we had pre booked ). Excellent food and service, really enjoyed the whole experience. One of our party is vegetarian and enjoyed her choice too. We asked for more gravy which was no problem and was brought to our table immediately. Really good staff at the tables, will definitely return.

Lovely atmosphere and music, food was amazing and arrived quickly, the man that served us was really nice and polite and did great for his first day!

Lovely pub with fantastic views.

Lovely pub, glad it was refurbished and now back open, great beer garden!

Flavourless starter and main Very underwhelming Would not recommend unfortunately

Really lovely pub to sit out when the weather is nice

Lovely pub with friendly staff. Child and dog friendly (there's a specific section for dogs I think). Called in for a few pints on a walk so haven't eaten here but as a Keighley lad recently moved to Leeds (bad move...) I can confirm the Timmy Taylor's Landlord served here is one of the best pints of it I've ever had and I've had LOTS. Well played Bankhouse, well played.

Nice lunchtime food, reasonably priced.
