Bridgewater Arms in Leeds

Just had a beautifully cooked rare steak. It was lush. I even had a dessert which I don't normally and that was nice too. The service here is always friendly with a smile. I visit with friends and with family and definitely recommend.

Absolutely wonderful staff. Manager extremely amiable. Good food and atmoshpere

We booked a table for today for my 14yr old granddaughters birthday not the first time we have been here staff are lovely and the food good. But one member of staff stood out today the manager Josh he brought my granddaughters birthday cake out and started us all off singing happy birthday and singing with us it was a nice touch Keep the good work up Josh your a great manager for Bridgewater Arms.

I was disappointed with my visit to Bridgewater Arms. The food lacked flavour and quality, and the service was slow and disorganised. The atmosphere also felt cold and outdated, in need of improvement. Overall, it didn’t meet expectations, and I wouldn’t recommend it at this time.

Great offer 2 for £12.95, we enjoyed steak pie and gammon steak on a skillet with onions

Josh gave us amazing service and was really friendly would definitely come back food is amazing

Fab food and service, loved it and generous portions with a good price Jordan looked after us. We visited for 3 days whilst in Leeds and will be back Thank you for looking after us

We visited here on Friday 18th April we ordered via the app we paid just under £39 for 2 drinks and 2 meals the drinks came quick and the male staff member was very friendly, The Food took around 15 minutes to get to our table and the portion sizes were very small we got a chick N Mix and also a XL mixed grill the chicken was tiny and rock hard I asked for Medium Well on my steak and it came well done the staff were very busy so we didn’t bother them to question as they looked rushed off their feet and to be fair to them were very friendly. We’ve been coming here for years and it just seemed so rushed and not how it usually is on this day.

Visité con mi familia para cenar y postres. Estelle nos sirvió. Era muy educada y muy profesional. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Nice food and excellent staff! Very reasonably priced. Special mention to Josh who was fabulous with our kids. We will come again when in the area.

Service was amazing everyone was so lovely especially our server Josh, food and deserts were perfect and catered very well to my celiac allergy will definitely be coming back.

Great experience, lovely food, came quickly and really friendly and helpful staff ( Julia in particular) . The prices are really reasonable also. We will definitely return in future. Thank you

Nice friendly place,with good food lovely staff julie is amazing

Julia is a blessing to this pub always happy smiling asks how we and everything is honestly whst a credit to Bridgewater arms love calling in and seeing Julia 😊

Served by Julia lovely women polite and asked if we was okay a lot very comfortable would definitely recommend

It’s a very welcoming environment. Always helpful and friendly. The one downfall is we miss quiz night

Came in for the new menu, had the halloumi flatbread and it was really tasty. The manager Josh was the one to serve me and he was great. Will be back

Solid pub, always use to come here as a child!

Lovely quality pub food, staff really pleasant and Julia couldn’t have been any more attentive 😊

Where to start, came for some nice pub grub and got the complete opposite. The nachos were cold The pie that I had was rock hard, was a workout trying to get into it. The mash was solid, however the peas were very nice My girlfriend has a beef burger and her words was “it tasted horrible”. We didn’t say anything in the moment but wish we did. Very disappointed after seeing all the good reviews

Excellent experience with Julie as always very helpful

Ordered flamin bbq meat sharer but unfortunately the beef was incredibly fatty and there was only a mouthful or two worth eating. Our server Julia was brilliant and swapped it for us with the kitchen and though the beef was still fatty, it was so much better the second time Julia also threw in two free dessrts for the trouble. She was brilliant.

Food average service okay nothing special

They have captain Morgan’s on the drinks menus but refusing to provide the drink requested

Great place to have a good time. Good Food, & Drink. Excellent Service as well. Will be going back at some point soon. 10/10.

Great value. Tasty food good staff. Well worth it.

I have always enjoyed the food at Bridgewater arms but I visited yesterday 20.3.25 with a work colleague. We ordered 2 cheeseburgers and both were inedible as they were rock hard and couldn't even bite I to them. I handed the food back and the server said sorry and removed them and did not bring a replacement.

Went for drinks & a meal for my daughters 22nd birthday & it was great They asked about any allergies (which I have), and my food came out with an allergy stick on it

We booked in advance as we heard that this place can get busy 7 of us enjoyed a variety of different meals, drinks, and deserts, all at a reasonable price Staff were attentive, tables cleared quickly, and bar staff friendly , all staff appeared happy as they worked

This is one of the dirty pubs I have ever been in cobwebs all over the ceiling, tables sticky not wiped before the next customer arrives I will not be dining there again

Very hit an miss for service, either very quick or very slow. Nice food. Cheap and cheerful. Dog friendly as well which is great.

Handy place to meet friends from across the city. Free unlimited parking. Not rushed in the pub. Nice food. Can get a bit noisy but overall good.

The food I got was delicious, but the just not enough on my plate, tiny piece of sage and onion, disgraceful.

Improved massively since we stopped going around 2 years ago. Definitely going back. Thanks to josh for great service too

Booked a table for 3 service was good however placed at a table that was extremely too cramped together with other tables and you couldn't sit down

Went to bridgewater arms today with a table of 12.. The staff were very accommodating & polite even having to wait for food as they were very busy considering the school holiday! They did everything that was asked by our party & stikk kept coming to the table & making sure everyone was ok in our party. Food came hot & not a complaint throughout! Very tasty.. Would recommend to anyone for a visit wether quick pub meal or big party booking like we did. We will deffo be returning & thank you for all your hard work & service! Xx

This is by far the friendliest pub in Leeds. Julia and the rest of the team are always so kind and so welcoming. They are such hard-working, friendly and lovely people.

Nos encanta el Bridgewater, siempre la mejor comida a un gran precio y la espera en el personal es tan maravilloso y servicial especialmente nuestra favorita; Julia que siempre hace nuestra noche especial.

Food was average price for these days and venue. The food arrived within a reasonable time considering how busy the place was.

EXCELLENT LOVED IT! . HAD BEEN BEFORE WAS SLIGHTLY HAPPY. THIS TIME MAIN CHEF WAS WORKING ! . HE COOKED THE CHICKEN PERFECTLY MOIST . ACCOMPLISHED THE BEST GAMMON IVE TASTED ! NICELY PRESENTED AND SEASONED WITH THE RIGHT AMMOUT OF PEPPER ALL THOSE I DIDN'T ASK FOR IT THAT WAY IT WAS GREAT! TO MINE AND MY PARTNERS TASTE.

I WANT TO METION JORDON AS IT WOULD BE UNFARE NOT TO BUT AS IT IS THERE IS A COUPLE OF STAFF I HAVEN'T MET . THE CHEFF WAS SO EXCEPTIONALLY TALLENTED AND TOOK TIME TO ASK HOW I LIKED MY FOOD HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR. I COULDN'T PRAISE 🙌 ANY MORE BECAUSE I WOULDN'T WANT IT TO EFFECT ANY THING I HAD WITNESSED.

Came for food and a drink while waiting for friends to finish at an arcade center ordered food service eas good and the food was excellent

The prices for the alcohol was really good don't get me wrong but a bit disappointed in the way I was judged today. I've recently turned 18 and still look fairly young however I had my ID on me to buy me and my friends drinks. The person at the bar looked at my provisional 3 times and kept saying I looked 12, however didn't ID my mate with me. I get she mightve been joking but it felt a bit rude to me.

Myself and my husband have been here a few times, but on Friday 24th January had food. The service was really good as anything we asked was made clear by a lovely young girl called Megan, she was so helpful and very friendly. The food was excellent especially the steak and ale pie my husband had, if you visit the area would definitely recommend you go to the bridgewater Arms.

The food was fantastic, The atmosphere too noisy children running around from table to table. The male toilets had Faeces smeared across the walls my partner came back from using this facilities mortified. While waiting to be seated we was waiting in the que for 30 minutes as there was only 1 bar staff on the bar. The double doors leading to the playground Park Kept slamming and Banging every time a child or parent was coming in and out of the building. This lead us to move seats to the other side of the building to avoid this nuisance.

Good pub grub with some great meal offers at the moment. Great value food and drinks

Been before about 7 month and was very disappointed but came today and the new manager has turned things around and the food was alot better will be back soon in the future

First photo is what food I ordered, second is what arrived at my table and there was a twenty minute wait? Why did it take twenty minutes to put nothing on a flatbread? Not a hint of salad or even any pico de gallo. If you’re out of those things, fine, but why the hell serve it to me for £8 damn pounds. It even got worse, the halloumi was literally cold and my friends chips and corn were all stone cold. And in terms of the actual place our table was sticky and every single table surrounding us had dirty plates and cups, with hardly any customers in at the time how hard could it of been to clear up some tables. They sat dirty for the whole time we were there. Literally awful.

Mine and my dads burger was burnt, the chicken my sister ordered was burnt, they forgot my mums steak when I know I ordered it. All they could do was apologise but that's my family dinner ruined. I would avoid this place in future.

me and my partner fancied some food and drinks so decided to visit here on Friday. the staff were extremely helpful the food and drinks were amazing and i'd highly recommend it. we have a flaming grill on our door step but we travel the three miles to get here as the service and food is so much better

I decided to visit this place on a friday night with my partner. the staff were extremely helpful, the food was amazing as were the drinks and we pretty much stayed there until closing. i visit here offen and highly recommend it. We have a local flaming grill near us, but we'll travel the three miles to go here instead as the standard of service is way better

Amazing service. Friendly. The food was amazing. Beautifully cooked steak. Atmosphere was great. Great location. Out of gym straight to food. Mmmm yummy yummy get in my tummy 😋

Breakfast with Santa was amazing, all the staff were great with the kids such a jolly fun Santa and the elf’s helped with kids to do letters to Santa so much for the kids to do to keep them busy room looked amazing brilliant presents thank you so much for a wonderful morning we all enjoyed every minute of it well done to you all amazing staff.

Excellent food, atmosphere, competitive prices and helpful staff. We visit sometimes during day at lunchtime. Always enjoy our visits

Like a spoons but with music playing. Good value food.

Been in Loads of times, and such a great pub, terrific food, great drinks at good prices, And the Staff are great too. 👍 Just one thing, I don't agree with eating in a place where they allow dogs in. I'd rather not eat in places where they allow dogs. But I'm not holding that against the pub, so a full 5 star all round.

Only walked in, was filthy and table where full of dirty plates and glasses the staff didn't seem bothered and all went for there cig break instead of cleaning tables first was a right put off also the place looks like it could do with a good clean from roof to floor and a good paint to freshen it up.

Quite a nice surprise, lovely food, generous portions. Attentive staff. Well done,

The food was decent quality and was served quickly to say there was 15 of us. It was a good night enjoyed by all. The only downfall was, if we queued at the bar for drinks it took a long time to be served, however when ordering on the app the drinks were brought quickly

Food was lovely and well priced and the server Julia was really nice and helpful We had and flame grilled burger and a steak pie

Came to eat here today with my family that had reserved a table. Staff were friendly and approachable, and we were quickly located to our table. Our food was delivered to us promptly and it was delicious. My sister had some changes to her burger which had been noted and added to our menu. All food was delivered to us at the same time and was nice and hot. Overall the atmosphere was great and we had a great time out. Thank you!

Hold special part in my heart we went bowling and for meal as it was our wedding day

Cosy place for food and drinks after a cinema visit

We have my sons birthday meal on Sunday 6th October. A group of 18 and not 1 issue did we have. All the food came out together and everyone was happy. The food was beautiful. A big thank you to Callum, Estelle, Cale and Denise for been amazing and keeping us all smiling and doing a fab job with the service provided. The customer service was outstanding.

Had sirloin steak done medium it was perfect would definitely have this again x

The food was great, and the staff were so nice and helpful. Overall, this place deserves a higher rating - definitely more than 3.8.

Very nice ribeye with pepper corn sauce n chips 🍟

Been going to this pub for about 5 years. Always been pretty good. But definitely stepped it up over last few months. Was told today the chef was called Paul... give that man a raise, last few visits I have had, the food has been banging! Obviously takes pride in what he is sending out of his kitchen. Table server Josh we had today was also spot on. Took my daughter in for her birthday for a bite to eat, couldn't fault it at all!

Hard working staff, good food & plenty of it, decent menu, family friendly.

Fantastic service from Aiden, management came round to check we were satisfied, food was delicious, it was a really enjoyable experience. Thanks guys! We will be back.

Came here for food and a couple of drinks before going to the cinema with some friends. We were served by a lady called Denise. She was very welcoming and attentive to what we wanted to order. Food, drinks and waiting serving were lovely x

Visit here often but the past couple of times the food has been very poor. The fish in the fish and chips was horrible, looked completely different from previous visits and didn't taste nice at all. The chick n mix nuggets had a strange taste to them. Time before this the mix grill was really chewy. Don't think we'll be visiting again now will look for somewhere else.

we had a party of 25 people yesterday the stuff was brilliant 👏 so nice and very friendly 🙂

Called in the other day for some decent food and was not disappointed. Great place. Excellent service. Shout out to Josh who looked after us all! Thanks dude.

Beautiful food prices are really good very helpful staff all really friendly 😀 definitely recommend

Food was nice, service fine. Table wobbly, menus sticky. Some general improvements required to the establishment itself to bring the standard up to the level of the food being served.

Great food and exceptional service from Julia as always! She is very friendly and has a great work ethic. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her!

Was a lovely meal in a very welcoming pub, Josh who was our waiter (who is usually our waiter) was as always very helpful, polite, fast. Absolutely recommend!

Absolutely fantastic service. The food was great. Myself and my family turned up with 13 people out of the blue. They catered to us without any issue. Staff were amazing can’t thank them enough Estelle Amie were next level the care and attention to our group deserves merit even after my daughter spilled her own drink Amie replaced it with no question (as it wasn’t company policy but she knew it was an accident) our group left very satisfied and will definitely return thanks to not only great food but fantastic service. Thank you Scottish Sean Ps I dusted off the chicken flatbread and nachos it was next level

Lovely friendly welcome by Julia, our server, at this Leeds pub. Nice food, good value, especially the 2 meals for £12.49 👍

Wow 35 mins 2 fish and chips orders Amy was great at service shame kitchen didn’t keep up with the orders very good I mean takes 9 mins to cook fish and chips from fresh shame as usually this place is amazing

The place was very dirty, every seat was stained and even marks all over the walls. Was really off putting even just having a drink there. The drinks were quite expensive considering the venue wasn’t very nice.

The place is in urgent need of a revamp. It’s looking tired in some places in the pub. Worn and dirty chairs and rips in some of the seating. The food is lovely and delicious worth a visit for the food just could do with a refurbishment.

We came here yesterday for food with our two children. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food and price. We managed to feed our family of 4 for £28 and that included 2 drinks. The staff were friendly and it wasn't overally busy. We will definitely be returning.

Visited the complex this evening and decided to stop by for the 2 cocktails for 1 deal, which was so great. We had countless! ha. Denise, one of the girls working behind the bar, was so friendly and so fast making our drinks we had to go back for more. She would remember every single one even with a really busy pub!! Thank you so much!! And the food, so piping hot and tasty. We ordered the regular and the XL mixed grill and every type of meat was cooked with perfection!! Thank you to all the staff!! We’ll definitely be back!!

Very nice food and beer, good service.

The food was delicious and the service was brilliant.Jordan,Meg & Sophie were absolute angels... They were very polite,professional and served me with a smile.I will definitely return 😊

We went for lunch yesterday not too sure what to expect. Needn't have worried. The food was lovely and warm. I think 4 empty plates says it all. Food deals are brilliant and drinks prices great too. The staff on duty were very pleasant and efficient.

Very good experience but disappointed that they don't have hand pulled beer anymore

Great place for food and the play area outside was great for kids. Denise was chatty at the bar and brought us our drinks when we sat outside

Nice for family eating out. Food is ok for price.

Enjoy going and have lovely food and service is excellent also can have friendly banter with staff especially scott who goes above and beyond to make sure customer's are happy.

Nice pub for a bit of food and a quick drink. Hunters chicken wasn't too bad, could've done with a bit more sauce. But overall decent place and the staff are a good laugh. Not bad at all ✌️

Decent food reasonably priced for 2 adults and 4 kids cheap and cheerful kids were happy so made us happy. Served by Julie who was very helpful and friendly! Thank you again

Booked a table only to arrive to sit anywhere which I found a bit discombobulated. Sat down and looked at the menu, ordered the food on the app, went up to order coffee, the coffee was lovely and hot. Got the drinks a few minutes later, didn't have to wait long for food, everything was lovely and hot, my parents both ordered the chick and mix which they both really enjoyed! My grandmother had the gammon which she enjoyed and myself and my granddad had fish dishes. The staff were all wonderful and friendly especially Julia who was really interactive with us. I have just moved to Leeds for University and when they come down to visit me and my family will be back again.

I went with the family for tea tonight. As expected it was very busy as usual. When I went to be served, Scott was serving. Even though it was very busy and the kids changed there minds Scott was very patient and helpful. He give advice on the menu and helped us choose what we all wanted. He then came over later and made sure we enjoyed our choices whilst joking on with the children. He made them feel special. Thank you so much

Very welcoming, great food served by Josh. Great service. Deserts were very yummy and my two boys wanted more but I told them 👎

Lovely place with love food. Half a chicken and slow cooked pork ribs was delicious. Sundays dinners nice too. Great prices. Lovely staff today was served by Josh. He was very polite and helpful. Thank you we will be back again.

Been drinking and eating at the pub with a friend and have been served by a lovely guy called Josh (Joshi).. he’s been so kind with me and my friend eh just made our whole day. Definitely worth a visit, and if you’re lucky enough, you’ll get served and entertained by him too!! Thanks again for a lovely afternoon!!

The usual spot if I'm in kirkstall. Great pub food and service. Josh found the time to be very friendly even though it was very busy.
