Crowd of Favours in Leeds

What a great find, was down this part of town to have a look around Kirkgate market and the head down for a few pints of Old Peculiar at Duck and Drake ( 5* as well) , came in here dog friendly, food was stunning, braised short rib was prob the best meal out I’ve had for years, staff brilliant, can’t fault the place

Booked a table for a late Sunday lunch. Got there and ordered drinks after being shown to the table. When it came to ordering food they'd hardly anything that was on the menu. I understand that it was towards the end of service but there was no warning online about this or from the staff when we arrived. We ended up leaving without eating. Also they gave me a warm glass for my bottled beer. Got the impression the staff don't care that much and I'll not rush back.

I’ve got to give it to crowd of favours! Went in there tonight and greeted by the most friendliest staff. We went with our dog and the amount of love they shown towards him was so nice! They also have fantastic dog food options. The clientele they attract is spot on and the atmosphere is fantastic. I’ve been a few times and it’s always been great. We ordered some food and despite having to send some back the staff dealt with it amazingly even taking it off the bill. (Which I felt very guilty about) The quality of the food is brilliant and the service also second to none. I didn’t catch the younge ladies name that was serving us (brown hair and she was a vegetarian). But I just want to say you do a amazing job and you really made our expirience lovely. 5* for food, service, atmosphere, venue! Thank you all very much you have got it so right!

A very quiet place with good beer

Had the best Sunday dinner we have ever had Had the vegetarian steak pie Can’t wait to go again it was amazing The beer was good too which is always a bonus

Great selection of real ales and non alcohol options too unfortunately the D and D ne t door had nothing to offer in the non alcohol option so we came here to spend our money instead. Loved the aero Guinness and went for some porky scratching as a side tapas. Definitely come here

Live it here. Very relaxed and comfortable. Service very good and knowledgeable. Warm pork scratchings. Reasonable price. 0.0 Guinness available always a winner with me!

Great pub, did a good quiz here too. Food was really nice tasting, expensive for what you get but I can't fault the taste. Disappointed that they didn't have the cheese board.

Marvellous, nice service and incredible food

My board games group meets here pretty regularly. There's a welcoming vibe, the place is dog friendly and the staff are always friendly. The food is good and there's a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks too. Highly recommended.

Great beer, great service, great music. Good prices for leeds town centre.

good atmosphere, went there for the board game event and loved the pub

A really wonderful, cosy pub in the centre of Leeds. There is an extensive selection of drinks, including non-alcoholic, of which the friendly staff are knowledgeable. The food from Grilling Me Softly is excellent. Our go to for a cosy drink with our books.

We met here for a friend's leaving drinks. The drink prices are reasonable considering it is the City Centre. I just had a portion of chips that were very chunky and really nice with a homemade feel. My friends tried the chicken, veggie, and beef burgers. They all enjoyed their meal with my friend who had the beef burger saying it was amazing. One friend tried the meatball loaded chips, but I don't know what he thought about it. It was a decent portion, though. The staff were quite friendly and there's lots of separate seating areas for your group to enjoy a semi private space. There's also a garden area outside, which is great in summer and an additional seating area downstairs. One downside is that the toilets are a bit smelly, I think it's due to lack of ventilation as they're downstairs. They can cater for events and also have activities on. It's on the outskirts of the centre but right next to the NCP and bus station, so it's a great place to start or end your day. The doorway is a little narrow due to it being a very old pub, so I'm not sure how easy it would be to get a wheelchair inside. Also, the seating is on different levels, so only 3 seating areas are on the entrance level, which is also the level of the bar.

Really cosy pub near Leeds Town centre, with very welcoming, friendly staff. The food menu is great. We all had the loaded fries with fish or curry wurst, and they were delicious. Highly recommended.

Came for a Sunday roast which was really nice, we came quite late on in the day so only one beef left and it was very tough to cut. We waited for quite some time for the food but when I arrived it was nice. Was a little pricey for what we got.

This is my favourite pub in Leeds! I run a semi-regular pub quiz here for my work-mates and we always have a fantastic time. The atmosphere is incredible, especially if you are able to sit the basement area and the food is excellent (and really good value). Additionally, the staff, particularly Beth (the manager) are extremely helpful, attentive and friendly. This is definitely a pub to check out if you've never been before.

One Friday lunch, after an organ concert at Minster Leeds, we went to a nearby venue and it was a success. Cold beer, very tasty food and adequate portions, normal price for the city, good sound, very tasty rock music. And there is also a very friendly and beautiful Cocker Spaniel dog. It is worth it....

This is an amazing pub. The food is great and the staff are very friendly. However the cask beer is getting gradually worse. We have told the staff about it and nothing has been done.

We had the sunday roast and a few cocktails here! It was amazing, food was delicious and everything was hot, plenty of gravy! Cocktails also nice and they do student discount which is a bonus 🤩

Gorgeous Sunday roast piled high with highlights being the mash and delicious cauliflower cheese! Such good vibes, friendly service and great drinks. Can’t complain with the student discount and will definitely be coming back very soon!!!

Myself and a group a ladies just visiting for the day and came across this pub! Had a superb Sunday lunch with the best parsnips and carrots ever ! Sat in beer garden 😎😎😎😎 quirky place, would highly recommend and if ever in Leeds will visit again 😊

Yummy Sunday roast, with one of the best yorkshire puddings I’ve ever had. Beef was pink but unfortunately quite chewy / sinewy. The chicken was apparently more like Nando’s which my friends enjoyed. The veg was exceptional! My favourite part to be fair, very well seasoned with fresh flavours. Mash was quite bland and dry. Overall a bit of a mixed plate. They were very obliging with an extra jug gravy of gravy for us when we asked. My friends ordered a side of cauliflower cheese which was huge and a meal in itself! They also had some fun beers on tap. Overall very good and would come back.

A brilliant place with wonderful staff and atmosphere. One of my favourite places in Leeds but it does have the worst pub food I've ever eaten by far.

Nice bar, decent atmosphere but very overpriced beer!

We attended a wedding celebration here and it was a huge success. The entire pub had been hired for the occasion. There are a few different areas on two floors and a small dance floor.

Quirky great beer and food. Will be back

Friendly service with staff who meant well but, limited menu on the day with many dishes no longer available. Did not match up to reviews

Had a google for a foody pub before going to the Arena, for a burger and fries. cant fault the place, friendly staff, even better food, tried the pulled pork loaded chips in hot-ish glaze with a dressing of horseradish sauce...apparently a new one on the menu... awsome...ill be coming back for another round next time im in town...

Lovely place to visit, we met some wonderful people and felt comfortable

Great pub, super easy and free to book, friendly and helpful staff, pretty good value drinks, nice atmosphere. I enjoy coming to Crowd of Favours.

I recently hired the downstairs room for my 30th birthday and was really impressed with the service offered at Crowd of Favours. Staff were communicative in the run up and helpful in getting my idea for my event to come to life. On the night staff were available as needed and were ready to help the event run smoothly. Everyone who participated in the hot buffet remarked how much they enjoyed it and that the options were really good. The room itself is lovely and cosy and it is easy enough to link up to the tech and play your own music to create extra ambience. I would highly recommend room hire through Crowd of Favours!!

Sometimes opening times on maps don't update as frequently so posting the opening times as of 01.03.2024

What a perfect place to socialise and have a good time.

Little gem of a traditional pub. Great selection of drinks. Staff were helpful and accommodating when looking for a space for a gathering of 20+ people at short notice on a Saturday. Will be back!

What a lovely place and good food too, We could actually have a conversation with each other without shouting which is great for me as I am hearing impaired.Bar staff were really nice and friendly too. It was my first time there but I'll definitely be going again.

Went for a meal before the Sunday quiz. They were extremely accommodating with our wheelchair user. Food was great. Quiz night was a younger demographic than ourselves, so was buzzing. (We were ranking 1st at one point, and finished in the top 10 out of 24😁). Good selection of ale, though I was driving and on the Erdinger Zero...🙄😊

Found this little gem a couple of weeks ago, try it - you won't be disappointed😊

Our favourite place. Super friendly great service. The food is fantastic and all fresh. We had a selection of small plates, all delicious. Compliments to the chef!

Called in for an hour prior to a Meal, locally. Lovely atmosphere great beer, my wife wanted a rum cocktail and there wasn't one on the menu, but the lady behind the bar adapted one. It was one of the best.

Interesting newish pub in the Calls area. Our first visit but I’m sure we’ll be back as had a nice friendly atmosphere and friendly staff. Good selection of local beers plus a bizarre set of flavoured ciders from Somerset. A good addition to a pub run in that X & X named pubs in that area.

I just really like the doggy And also it has great alcohol free options!

Popped in for a pint while waiting for our coach back to Leicester. Nice pint and warm friendly atmosphere 👌

The choice of beers is good, just not my type of place. To be honest, nothing to complain about.

Its a nice pub, called in on a Saturday night for a beer and ended up staying for a few instead.

We booked the basement room for a 30th birthday party. Staff were very helpful and accomodating, including allowing us to play our own music and put up decorations. We had a lovely evening and would highly reccommend to anyone looking for a venue in town for a party or event!

Liked this pub and the Sunday roast. Friendly helpful staff. Good ale and handy for the city centre shops and market.

Last stop off before the bus home, lovely relaxed atmosphere great choice, the rhubarb cider was a unexpected treat.

A great find just off the beaten track. Well worth a detour

We got a last minute walk in table for a roast, the staff were so friendly and accommodating, such a cosy cute vibe and amazing food will deffo be back! The cauli cheese was deffo a hit🙌🏼

Came in for a Sunday lunch, was served by a friendly gentleman with light brown curly hair and a nice smile, don’t ask for his name but wish I did as he delivered fantastic customer service and was very humble, Sunday roast did take a while to arrive, but it was definitely worth it, one of the best roasts I’ve had in a while, delicious! I appreciate that they were busy and they apologised about the delay, really enjoyed my visit here though, nice little hideaway :)

Great place fantastic atmosphere lovely staff thank you all 👍👍👍👍

This place it’s just something special. The food it’s always better than most restaurants I have tried in Leeds, also served with love and care . Comparing The Ivy next door this place wins in all the aspects for food quality. It’s a third time I’m visiting and recommending to everyone who is visiting or local .

Great leeds pub, friendly staff, tasty food and fun quiz on a Sunday!

Great pub & help staff who were very accommodating. Beth was a brilliant help when booking the venue.

I love this bar. Friendly staff, great selection of drinks and relaxing decor 🙌

Love crowd of favours. Dog friendly, good points and food on. They've a nice space for use downstairs as well

This place saved my bacon over bank holiday weekend! Our original venue had been broken into and we were leff without a place to do our hen party workshop. After asking atleast 3 other places if they could help and them not, we found here. The staff were so excited to help out, gorgeous dog! Plus downstairs seating are was perfect. They had it completely blocked off for me instantly and could not be more helpful! Great selection of ciders too! Thank you so much xx

I was disappointed at the quality of my starter and dessert.

Great beers and staff, cozy atmosphere. Fab interactive quiz on sunday

Lovely pub, great vibe, decent beer garden too. The menu is interesting and the food is delicious 🤤 Welcoming and friendly staff 👍

Klimat w moim stylu "old style" smaczna przekąska dobre piwko Na pewno wrócę jeszcze coś zjeść przy okazji 😋✌

Love this place but food wasn’t up to usual standard. We’d been before and had a fabulous meal and drinks, so we were looking forward to going again. Beer selection is amazing, lots of local beers on hand pull. Staff are amazing and really helpful and friendly. We’d booked a week before our visit and had already looked at the food menu so were disappointed to learn on arrival that they were just printing menus off as they were running a limited menu. It was just burgers and chicken wings. We all chose burgers and chips. The chips were great but 3 of the 4 of us had soggy bottom halves to our burgers. We told them about one of the burgers (we didn’t know 3 were soggy at the time) and they brought out a replacement bun which we shared between us. We were disappointed with the food, but would definitely recommend the pub for the beer and staff.

I visited this nice little bar to meet up with friends. The table layout is good, cosy corners as well as tables for bigger groups. There's a good menu and plenty of choice. I chose the haloumi and roast pepper burger (delicious!) With nice well cooked crispy fries.

Busy place but got served almost straight away. Food was great as well 👍

Beautiful pub. Service was amazing and staff were really helpful! So happy this place is doing roast dinners again, it was our regular sunday spot so its great to be back! The chicken was gorgeous.

Lovely cool place with some comfy seating. Great service and nice food.

Not doing cocktails cos its busy ! Not busy at all . People been moved off tables that are booked for 7pm when its only 5.45. Miserable staff and flat coke !

Loved this place. However grossly over commercialised but still worth the visit

Great IPA "Northern Monk", you have to try it!, great service as well!

Excellent boozer, will definitely return on my next trip to Leeds.

Recently had a Birthday Party here, the room was Free, a good size and you could decorate it at will, the staff were very nice, the food was of good quality, BUT way short on quantity,, the food was for 30 people, the amount we received would realistically have probably only fed 20 at a push, which is a shame.

We booked for a late Sunday dinner (which coincided with the pub's quiz night!) - and unfortunately, by the time of our booking, all protein options but one were gone, together with all vegetables (?). We have been offered a generous serving of everything that they had left, but it ended up being potatoes and potato mash with chicken - hardly a Sunday dinner. We have ordered dessert, which was originally thought to be there by staff but none of it was left as well, so we were giving an extra serving of the other dessert option. It felt like kitchen staff tried their hardest to compensate for food running out, but not a lot of care or interest came from front of house staff. Hence, inconsistent service. The quiz was excellent - so made up for any food mishaps!

Used this venue as an end of year society ball and it was fabulous! Fully accessible, great food and really lovely staff:)

We went as an end of year society ball and had a fabulous time! Really lovely manager who talked us through everything, really lovely staff and great accessible venue! Will definitely be coming back soon:) Thanks Crowd of Favours!

Nice place. Beer good. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. It has a small menu but I find that better. Reduced choice but all good. The place is quite small so better ringing in advance. It's outside of the main city centre area so on weekdays it should be fine to drop in without booking. Really nice service and clean and tidy. But as I say it doesn't have many tables but definitely worth the effort. All in all a nice bit quirky place.

Really great, cosy pub. Very helpful and friendly staff

Really nice place with lots of books to read. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Had the cheese burger and fries. Burger and fries were home made, not a mass produced product which added to the enjoyment. Reasonably priced as well. It wasn’t too busy on a Saturday lunch, which is nice not having to troll around looking for places to eat. Would definitely go again.

A great bar near Kirkgate market. Good range of beers. Great staff.

Great choice of beers and a lovely atmosphere - I'll definitely return...

Amazing service and amazing gin!!

Crowd of Favours is a lovely traditional British pub tucked away down one of the back streets in Leeds City Centre. Anthony is the man behind Schnit Faced and he has a permenent residency in the kitchen here. We have tried his food a few times at several pop-up events across Leeds but this was our first time trying his take on classic "pub food". The menu has plenty of choice and you can choose to switch between small plates or larger plates. The portions of both are very generous for the price and the presentation of the dishes is always perfect. Anthony's food never disappoints- he is not frightened to use flavour in his dishes which is a big positive for us. We sampled two small plates and two main plates and we were absolutely stuffed We had the Sauteed Mushrooms- such a simple dish but it well and truly packed a punch. It was really delicious. The sauce was creamy rich and contained even more garlic. The mushrooms were perfectly cooked and the fresh soft ciabatta was soaked in garlic butter. Dim Sum Bowl- I am not a huge lover of steamed dumplings so was pleased to see these were fried- they had the perfect crispy crunch and were nicely seasoned. Inside was a really fragrant and flavourful veggie filling. The pairing sauce had a nice kick of heat from the ginger and was slightly sharp from the soy- it was delicious Big Dog- First of all homemade fries are my absolute favourite and these were perfect with a crispy salty skin. The smoked kielbasa was delicious with a super smoked flavour and tasted like it had been on a bbq grill with a crispy charred skin. The crispy onions added a nice crunchy texture yet didnt overpower the sandwich (im not a fan of piling loads of fried onions onto a hotdog). Ketchup and mustard are the perfect condiment for a hot dog too Garlic and Rosemary Beef Rump with side of Mac and Cheese and Caesar Salad- The grill section of the menu consists of a protein or veggie dish with a choice of two sides. All of the sides sounded so hearty that we went for a salad to balance out the heavy food but look at the size of it! it was worth it though as it was so delicious, coated in fresh rich parmesan and zingy sauce. The homemade baked mac and cheese was comfort food at its finest with a cheesy rich creamy sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection with plenty of pink and was marinated in the most beautiful refreshing salsa verde

Absolutely delicious food and lovely staff! This pub has a lovely atmosphere and is actually a lot bigger to that it looks from the outside! Can't wait to come back! Vegan and veggie options available! Very tasty!

Possibly the best pub food I’ve ever had !! I had the chicken schnitzel , it was huge !!! Great service too by Ren all smiles !!

Great pub. Plus the lovely person behind the bar bought my dogs some water. X

Had a pint then checked out they menu. They do a grilled platter for 2 for £35 - including a bottle of wine! It came with steak, 2 X chicken breasts (one spicy one herby), sausage, and an enormous portion of fries. Absolute no brainer! I also had to order the Yorkshire pudding and gravy side - because yorkies are life! They were 2 huge ones on the plate and tasted amazing! The grilled platter was big and food tasted fantastic. My only critisism was the steak was rare so sadly I couldn't eat it. If you don't like it bloody, then ask when you order as I'm sure they would do it more well done. Noted for next time as we will definitely be back! The staff had checked everything was ok. As my partner can eat it rare, it just meant he got all the steak! The front area was cosy and comfy, there was also similar downstairs. However the back of the pub had a more cafe vibe to it. Plenty of extra seating, but not such a cosy atmosphere. A change of colour and some art work could bring it into line with the rest of the establishment. They also have a good selection of boardgames available.

Drinks ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibe⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A lovely vibe and a wide selection of tasty food (with a good range of veg options) and drinks. Despite the somewhat drab grey of the facade, it's warm & cosy inside. And we especially liked the canine maitre d' who so enthusiastically greeted all comers.

We recently booked the little social space downstairs for a friends mini hen party and it was perfect. The staff were the most helpful I’ve experienced in Leeds. Great drinks, food and atmosphere. Easy 5 star!

Popped in for lunch on Mothering Sunday.The staff were friendly and professional, the atmosphere was good and the roast dinner would put most other restaurants to shame for quality and price, all good

Good food nice atmosphere thanks for a lovely mother's day lunch xx

Really nice pub, with a good range of beers. The food looked good, but we didn't sample any on this visit, enjoyed the beer though!

Great food and drinks. The service was amazing, very warm and welcoming! :)

I occasionally visit here on a lunchtime. And it’s usually pretty quiet. They have a range of Leeds Brewery beers on cask (usually Pale, Bitter and Midnight Belle) along with local craft on keg. For those who like them, there are a few fruity ciders on hand pull too. The staff are all friendly and the place is clean and tidy. On Wednesdays selected casks are £3 a pint.

Not the cheapest place to eat in Leeds but the quality of food was excellent and staff friendly.

Good pub with good food. Location close to the centre of Leeds, but far enough out you don't get disturbed by much noise. Minimal cocktail menu but decent range of spirits. There's a boardgames club here on alternate Wednesdays and a range of quizzes and group activities. Recommend a visit if you're looking for a social but not too hectic night in the area.

The chicken grilled burger was delicious. The price really good and the environment lovely. They have a cute dog ☺️

Warm Pork Scratchings. Enough said :) Belting place.

Great little bar near the kirkgate market.. Good choice of drinks, food looked excellent but didn't try.. Resident dog is a beaut if she's in...
