Cabin Bar Leeds Bradford Airport in Leeds

Good place to wait for your flight at the international transport hub that is Leeds Bradford Airport. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Food is good, if not a little on the pricey side.

Great bar, excellent breakfast and friendly staff providing good service.

lovely hot breakfast, the food came quickly and the staff are very friendly and helpful

Food was horrible and ridiculously expensive for the quality of it, you expect to be charged more in an airport but the quality still needs to be there which it wasnt.

It was my first time dining at Cabin Bar at Leeds Bradford Airport and it was okay. The Food tasted good, the atmosphere was alright and the service was okay. There are some things that I did not like, like some of the dishes on the menu were not available and was not even mentioned anywhere. The only thing that I like about this place was the food but that's it. I don't think I will come back to this place, I wouldn't recommend it.

Bang average. Nothing special about the service or food although as usual for an airport it's really expensive at £16-£17 for a full cooked breakfast. Been.here twice in last 3 weeks what really let's it down is the poor standard of cleanliness (btw, as I type this a member of staff is tidying and stocking the bar area (only). Tables are left unwiped and sticky from spilled drinks etc, we've cleaned and sanitised ours (4 of us). Both times I've observed tables left not cleaned or tidied both on top and under. Today 23/10/24 we actually took a serviette to the dado rail adjacent our table to remove all the dust. (Table 33) Caveat- is it short staffed or staff don't prioritise I'm not judging. Time of attendance 07:15 - onward. Just watched a group of girls swimming group move onto a table behind us, table is terribly filthy with spilled drinks from previous guest and it's not even excessively busy but they need/want the larger table.

Lovely and friendly staff 😊 mid range prices but not bad for an airport! Perfect quiet space to charge your phone and have a pint before the flight! 😁 plenty of vegetarian food options as well!

Always a great place to start your holiday. Nothing quite like the obligatory airport pint at 4am before heading off on your way to your chosen destination. The staff are friendly and the offerings are good. Yes the prices are higher than you can get in a regular bar/pub/restaurant but by now I fully expect that an airport refreshment will cost you more due to the environment and I'm personally happy to pay it.

2 lovely looking breakfasts and coffees for £42 ish, waiter not happy we sat at closest table, which needed wiping. Anyway food looked nice and would have been great if it had been warm/hot as it should be. Shame, it spoilt it.

A pint and a butty. Just the job

Inattentive, non interested staff. Plenty of time to talk to each other rather than serve customers. Dirty plates and glasses everywhere. This place needs a manager!!!!!!

Had to wait for a table. Previous peoples glasses not cleared. In app ordering unavailable. Massive Que at the bar. Drinks not great and overpriced.

Very busy no number on our table so had to ask for it before able to order. Drinks good size, breakfast sandwiches ok

Once you get over the scandalous £7 drop off charge at LBA (you don't, btw) you get to The Cabin Bar. Of course, it's gouging your eyes out on price - why should beer be £2 more expensive than a pub 1km away? Of course, it's got an overly complicated app ordering system which works one time in three and steals your data. Of course, the food is micro-wave, prepped off site, horrible. Fine, you kinda accept that at a UK airport, although I don't know why, but why is EVERY SINGLE TABLE constantly covered in dirty pots and glasses. They don't seem short of staff - one I'd waded through the filth I found five of them chatting behind the bar (the app was down, obvs) The time before last I saw one member of staff walk the full length of the bar three times empty-handed, past table after table after table covered in dirty glasses and finished meals with food left on them. Awful, awful place best avoided unless you like dirty tables and lazy staff. And outrageous prices.

The lady was very helpful when ordering a coffee and kindly gave me extra water when I mentioned the coffee is strong

A small and busy pub and eats. £7.30 a pint but at 04:30hrs not bad. Some great chairs to watch people arrive with happy hols faces. Staff very cheerful at such an early hour.

Great service from Charis, Daniel and Heather, could have done with a bit pita with the humous but all in all a great experience

All the tables are filled with empty glasses and the staff are all stood on their phones behind the bar, even then manager! Real shame because it's a nice bar, but the mess on every surface ruined it.

Hellish little bar in a hellish little airport. Rammed. Poor service. I asked how much a pint of soft drink would be only to be told I needed a table number. Went to the convenience store part of the airport and drank a £1 bottle of pepsi back at the Cabin Bar table I had vacated

Great service from Alex C and Elyse ….. and their manager. Complicated order!

Heather was a fantastic waitress. Very helpful and attentive.

Surly staff - Matthew is perhaps in the wrong job? (Kind of sucks the fun out of the start of a holiday) - cheers🍸

Like the many other reviews, who get a "we're sorry" response but no change - filthy chairs, slow service and THIRTEEN POUNDS for a single glass of prosecco. Oh, and a huge glass wall onto the walkthrough to Duty Free so you feel like you're on the wrong side of the glass in the zoo with everyone staring in trying to figure out how to come in for an extortionate drink. Expected really for an airport, but one of the worst I've visited.

Apart from the prices, which are outrageously expensive, the staff are all really friendly and professional.

We were helped by Fiona my Dad's 90 and we were waiting for a table we wanted coffee but we're told we had to have a table number to order - Fiona overrided this policy for us then found us a table super quick, she was a superstar, thanks Fiona.

Lovely start to the holiday !! Fiona and all the staff were very friendly and perfect scrambled eggs on the Signature breakfast 😋

Staff extremely rude and miserable, no customer service and generally unpleasant. Very expensive..

Waited almost 30 minutes for 2 largers and a gin and tonic find the other bars !

Heather and Alex C were really attentive and nice. Brilliant servers

Great experience at the cabin bar, excellent food and even better service. Heather was our waitress. Always there to offer and help us with everything we needed.

Don't expect a cheap round, it's £15.38 for two pints of San Miguel! If you don't have a table number you can only have plastic glasses too. The chairs were absolutely disgusting too, they looked nice until you pulled them from under the table and they are badly stained and full of food debris

Very expensive glass of prosecco. Don't mind paying if the tables were clean. Staff standing talking instead of keeping the place nice. 3 stars a bit generous actually...

No nice place lol the woman are looking at you like frogs from a other posó

Our server Seth was AMAZING, he went above and beyond to help us/ feed us and water us. Made our day at the airport so much nicer!! Thanks Seth!

Seth what a nice guy , thanks for looking after us 😁😁

Great place. Food lovely. Friendly staff.

Fiona was absolutely amazing! Fantastic service and so well run. Beautiful food also!

Emma is a credit to this restaurant. Best waitress I've had for a very long time. The restaurant was so busy but she handled everything so well and went out of her way to ensure we were taken care off. Food was great too and best beer shandy I've had for a long time too. Great experience. thankyou.

Only had drinks. Very rude man in glasses behind the bar. Needs a lesson in customer service.

Loads of tables needing to be cleared and staff gathered at the end of the bar having a laugh! Premium prices - rubbish service.

Fantastic staff Led clearly by staff who cared

Very dirty, very expensive, would avoid if we could.

Great service today, especially from Charis

Seth looked after us extremely well and always served with a smile

Service great sets was so polite and helpful

Not good as they didnt serve full breakfast because they didnt have dieced potatoes

Perfect pre holiday vibes and service from Fiona going above and beyond ! She is a legend and made the start of our holidays bloody fantastic!!!

The food was lovely, much better than Manchester Airport. Served by Alex C who was very friendly and attentive

Heather was amazing 🤩 helpful and friendly

Cabin Bar is our must stop for drinks and food before our flight .

Seth was very pleasant and attentive to our table service.

Like every moment spent in Leeds Bradford airport, time spent in this bar is a miserable experience. The only reason you should go in is that you have a 0.5% chance of getting a seat, rather than 0% in the rest of this over-crowded mess of an airport. Crap service, awful food and crazy prices even by airport standards. Only very slightly more preferable than standing in one of the leaky, freezing portacabins they try to pass off as boarding gates. Do yourselves a favour and just fly from anywhere else so you don’t have to visit this bar. And if there are no flights from other airports, consider walking to your destination instead. It will most likely be more pleasant.

Great service and table service from Seth. Friendly atmosphere. Just what you want before your holiday :)

One of the nicest bar/restaurants in the airport (although LBA needs a massive upgrade!!), great service especially from Seth (the only one who actually came to take my order, everyone else seemed ‘busy’).

Bit pricey but then again, it IS an airport... Table service is a bonus, Seth (our server) very friendly and courteous

Great time at the Cabin Bar. Seth was our server and he was fantastic!

Good bar and service. Second drink had table service from Seth who was very polite, efdiecient and friendly

Had a lovely time at the cabin bar, my eggs and avocado were a little expensive but the service was amazing. Alex C was very friendly and helpful.

Fiona was fab, so organised with the queue for the tables, happy and so helpful. Thank you!

Expensive as airport however staff are really friendly and helpful - not their fault they make the prices so high lol

Heineken £6:50 fair enough it’s an airport but it tastes terrible.

Heather on the bar ….. lovely ! Fiona showing us to tables was great 😁

Super friendly and chatty, Heather, Liana and Alex C were lovely. Qudos to all

We came and enjoyed some drinks here before our flight and Heather was very accommodating. She cleared our table from the previous people in seconds and served us at the bar. Very friendly and welcoming thankyou Heather.

Lovely friendly, helpful waitress called Liana.

Liana was polite and courteous. A lovely young lady

Staff were miserable, no customer service at all, no smiles. All looked like they couldn’t be bothered. Extortionate prices, £10 for half a slice of sourdough and two bits of salmon. Nice wine, but when you’re paying £15 a glass would be nice if they could say thank you and act happy. Not a good experience.

Genuinely shocked by the state of the bar. Floor filthy from the door inwards. Food, including bits of pasta someone could have slipped on and what looked like crisps, left lying on floor the entire time we were here. Napkin holders at bar empty and encrusted in grime. Windows looked like someone had spilt beer down them weeks ago and had not been cleaned since. Clean glasses put back on dirty shelves with smeared mirrors. Tables also filthy, wiped ours using our own wipes, which came away black. Sticky rings visible on every table around us. Fabric chairs stained, with bits of food encrusted in the upholstery buttons. Bottled condiments left sitting in the sun and visibly sweating. Was handed a menu that had clearly been used as a beer mat for several days. Two female staff members moving listlessly through the bar chatting intently to each other and flicking a cloth around with no evidence they’d been trained to clean properly, let alone focus on customer service. Pleasant but again clearly untrained bar staff. Just not good enough given the prices charged.

, waited in line to be served while staff stood around chatting, very dirty changed my mind about the food nd just had. Glass of wine which was awful and expensive Go else here because this bar sucks

Peaceful place to relax before your flight.

Pretty poor, and the management are missing a trick. 1. QR code service only. But no signs up indicating this. Meaning every new customer goes to the bar to ask for a menu, annoying both parties. And older demographics might struggle. 2. Meh staff. It was empty when I was in and despite this, staff seems flat and uninterested. No politeness, no smiles. 3. Filthy, sticky tables that should have been clean given how empty the place was at the time. One star for quick food service.

Food Luke warm. To cold because of the air-conditioning set to north pole. Also been told it's CASH ONLY when ordering at the bar even though there's card machines switched on. Only if you order from the app you can pay by Card.its 2024 for god's sake.

The bar is card service only the customers that walked out was unbelievable.

Great friendly service. The staff work really hard. Alex VP top service!

Rude staff unwilling to help customers who couldn't navigate the ordering process. We watched multiple people come in, sit down, struggle with ordering then leave without buying anything. One woman went to the counter and asked 'what happened to speaking to a person?' And the reply she got was 'well that's how head office wants it'. The woman subsequently left with a sigh telling her travel companion 'oh well, it was a nice idea. Sorry it didn't happen.'

Service was atrocious wouldn’t take ordered staff not interested the manager arrogant and rude. AVIOD

The worst bar. Online ordering only with no other option to pay. I sat with my family and had to listen to the bar tender say" Online ordering only, take a seat and scan the QR code at the table" I watched at least 50 people turn around and leave during my 40 mins in here. Many older people with limited tech knowledge or a phone that can scan a QR have been excluded from the cabin bar. You need to do better.

Rude staff. Not enough tables but they won’t serve you if you don’t have one. Card machines at the till but they won’t serve you at the bar if you are paying by card. You have to use the QR code … which should be clearly explained before you wait for 20 mins queuing at the bar. And not all the tables have QR codes or table numbers. Drinks extortionate even for airport prices. Overall one of the worst airport establishments I have been to. Leeds Bradford Airport you need to sort this out!

Had a couple of drinks while waiting to fly to Paris oder from your table didn't have food but it looked nice

Food was poor the service was lacklustre to say the least . Put against airport bars on the Continent Leeds/Bradford should feel ashamed .

This was supposed to be a simple transaction as credit cards not accepted I had to setup up a online order and payment took me 10 mins then sat waiting for the order that didn't arrive, I queried it with the staff who were very aloof told me to wait as its on line I just wanted a quick half what a faf, also quite expensive. I don't like being forced to go on line for poor service.

I've used this particular bar at the airport the last handful of times that I've travelled, however last time I was here the bar staff weirdly tried to push me towards using an app to order two drinks. I pushed on to make my order and pay at the bar, like you would at a "bar". This time around they were insistent on me going back to my table and using an app to order two drinks, rather than paying at the bar, where I was already standing. Ridiculous operation. Just pass this one by and go to the next one. Modern times.

Horrible staff and overpriced. Had a beer only because we were made to feel unwelcome .Avoid.

Big breakfast and a cuppa, delicious....! Very very quick service food was piping hot

Food was almost cold even though we had waited a while for it. Scrambled egg was awful very crumbly, probably reconstituted powdered egg. Staff were very distant. Couldn't see any signs explaining how to order, staff just said order at your table. Not very helpful for people in their 70s who are not tech savvy.

Staff were very friendly, food was good if a little pricey but overall a nice experience

Ridiculous to order drinks by app when waitresses are standing around doing nothing

Quick service, friendly and lovely environment to sit and wait for our flight.

Terrible service. 30 mins for two pints. Can't order at the bar. No one clearing tables and it's not even busy. bar staff are also pretty rude when asked why it's taking ages.

Most of the staff were great, apart from the guy who actually brought our food - fat bald guy with a beard and glasses. Couldn’t have been more ignorant. Just dumped our food on the table. I asked if we could have some salt and pepper and he just walked off. If he doesn’t like people he shouldn’t be in a customer facing position.

Review of the Cabin Bar, Leeds Bradford Airport. Having been up at 04.30 for an 05.30 taxi and an 08.30 flight we planned to eat breakfast at LBA. After some debate between eating at the Cabin Bar or Burger King, we foolishly settled on the Cabin Bar. We ate on the morning of Sunday 24 March 2024, ordering at 07.04 using the QR code method insisted upon. Our check number was 31827686-437 and my (cold – should have been hot) Cabin Signature breakfast cost £15.99 plus £3.39 for a small pot of (cold – should have been hot) tea. The price included a £3.82 tip which, we have just noticed, was added automatically. On the plus side, the staff are friendly, polite, and helpful. On the negative side is everything else. It’s poor value and slow service. We ordered using the QR code, which is a faff, but we did it. We were 5 adults in our party, but the order came piecemeal. My tea arrived about 15-20 minutes before my breakfast and was cold. When the breakfast eventually arrived, I complained about the cold tea and the waitress kindly and promptly brought a hot replacement. Then I realised that the breakfast was only lukewarm at best. With our Gate due to be announced at 07.50 it wasn’t worth complaining and awaiting a replacement. To the owners of this establishment: You are incompetent. Operating as you do in an airport, your biggest expense is the premises. The next biggest is staff costs. The food itself costs next to nothing by comparison, but it is on the food you are judged. It was a cold, small, portion, spasmodically served, and slow into the bargain. No doubt you think you can get away with ripping off your customers because they are just passing through, you’re not trying to attract them on a daily or weekly basis, and to a certain extent that is true, you can get away with that much. Your problem is that when you rip off a guy like me, I NEVER return. Bin the QR code system, set up a buffet of hot food, let people load up their trays, and have them pay at a till at the end of the line. Until you do, I’ll eat at Burger King when using LBA. I hope the staff, at least, got the automatic tip, because the owners don’t deserve it.

Lovely bar to wait to start your holiday. Friendly staff

Tony and the lady who's name I can't remember made our visit well worth it. Great service with a lovely friendly atmosphere

Vera was very helpful and got me sauces upon request. Bit pricey at £10 for a bacon, sausage and anaemic egg sandwich but what you expect for an airport.

Vena, our waitress was really nice and chatty.

Very friendly staff upon entry. Gave us the information needed to order drinks from the table. Thanks to Vera & Clinton.

Vera was lovely and friendly so early in the morning!

Had a spot of breakfast. Excellent service, staff very friendly and polite. Staff was very helpful. Telling us how to use the app to order. Clinton was jolly when serving our food. The place was very clean.

Great time here. Tom served us and he was lovely!

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, great customer service especially from Vera and Charis. Perfect place to relax and enjoy a drink and some food before jetting off.
