Drysalters in Leeds

Quite happy to accommodate bands and their followers who sympathise with those who lost the 2nd World war. Steer clear.

We visited Leeds and our restaurant was closed. We were hungry and headed to White Rose Shopping Centre. On the way we saw this pub advertising food served all day so we stopped. No bar staff visible, half a dozen people in a big pub, and I reckon the food was pork scratchings at best. We wore face masks as we have respect for others’ safety. One of the customers shouted “hey - it’s not Tuesday yet” (the day that sensible restrictions are reintroduced). Avoid this place like the plague, or you may be part of one!

Please do not tie up emergency cords in disabled toilets! And could you please put either a hand dryer, or preferably paper towels in your accessible loo, as we disabled people like to dry our hands after washing them!

Un grupo de tres ingresó a los alters secos para probar la nueva cocina de curry y hacer uso de la iniciativa del gobierno. Se cumplieron todas las necesidades del covid y se entregaron menús. Nos dijeron que solo se ofrecía la mitad del menú, ya que el martes se compartía la noche del plato para 2 o 4 personas, ¡éramos 3! Nos dijeron que no había una fuente para 3 personas, así que elegimos a las 4 personas después de recibir una razón larga y confusa por la que no podíamos tener a las 2 personas. El precio era 49. 99, así que pensé que con el descuento del gobierno sería 25. Qué equivocado estaba el 49. ¡99 estaba con el descuento! Eso significa que normalmente esto habría sido 100 libras. Lamento no pagar esos precios en un pub. La información es engañosa y las explicaciones confusas. Como resultado nos fuimos.

Caminamos aquí mientras permanecen localmente durante la noche. El letrero dijo que la comida se sirvió todo el día, ordenó una cerveza, pidió que le dijeran al menú que las órdenes de comida terminaron a las 5 pm Qué molesto y no tener una discusión, simplemente me fui y me dirigí a Whistlestop, a unos 10 minutos.

Really clean pub. Judging by the decor it's a Leeds United pub. But the food really was amazing! Will definitely return when in the area.

There was 14 of us went on Sunday 16 th dec 2018 the food was lovely and service was good they reserved us a table so we was all sat together

Chain pub and restaurant - big inside with "conservatory" area and seating out front next to main road. Good selection of food - chain pub style. Gets rammed out on Leeds United match days.

Called in for lunch. Lunch menu starts at £7.95 for 2 courses or £9.95 for 3. Came out amazingly quick time & was pretty good. Pub is lovely inside & staff were pleasant & friendly. Will be visiting again

We were returning home after a weekend working for our care company. My colleague was exhausted and she suggested that we should find a restaurant on the way back. On the face of it the Drysalters met the criteria as it WAS on the way back and it WAS part of Greene King, a respected brand. On the positive, the food was presented well, cooked well & tasted delicious. We both enjoyed our mixed grills and there was a good variety of well prepared meats in the grill. The sweet courses were also excellent, fudge cake & jam roly poly (which didn't look anything like the traditional jam roly poly, but that's another story). The waiter/ess were enthusiastic and friendly which always makes a meal more pleasant. There were no issues with the meal. For this quality of food we would certainly return. On the negative, there were a few issues. My colleague told me the "ladies" was not clean and the door lock was broken. I noted the "gents" was could also do with some TLC. She was amazed that the chap in the chef's uniform took a small dog into the kitchen as this breaches common hygiene standards. It, also, took me 5-10 minutes to order as we needed a receipt for work and no-one could figure out how to produce the correct receipt for the food. Drinks were OK, as that receipt was produced in a few seconds but it took just under 12 minutes to get us a food receipt. (It was wrong as they incorrectly told me the price without a receipt and then had to get the receipt to match their guesstimate of the price). Nothing like adding 4 figures using a pen & a sheet of paper to get the right price? While the food was excellent the organisational abilities were, sadly, lacking. We found this most surprising from the, usually, excellent Greene King chain.

Had our Christmas 🎄 bash here this weekend, the food was amazing the staff where brilliant. Would recommend this bar and the food to anyone. Thanks for a top night.

The Pub is very well located for a visit to Elland Road, and parking also very convenient on a matchday for only £5, and only a 10 minute walk to the ground. However, there is no pub food or menu available when there is a game on - only a burger van outside serving the usual fayre.

Always a friendly greeting when you go in and prompt service. Went for Sunday lunch and it was lovely. Good food and good value.

My dad, being a dedicated Leeds Utd fan has been here numerous times before an all important match!!! We were pondering where to go for something to eat and my dad recommended the Drysalters. I was really surprised how busy it was! (sorry) We found a table which was very clean and ordered food. When our food arrived it was very hot, which I like and the portions were huge! The bill was £47 for a family of 4 adults including soft and alcoholic drinks. No doubt we will be visiting again.

When here for lunch the other day with my son and mum. Not many in and served straight away. Great choice of menu and excellent prices. Didnt know what to expect but was totally amazed by the quality of food, size of portions and excellent service. Honour could not do enough for us, she was excellent. i would highly recommend a visit

Located 10 minutes walk from Elland Road, this is a Leeds supporters pub, plenty of pics of Leeds legends around. Quite big pub with good selection of beers. Nice friendly staff. Pool table and dart board. A little rough around the edges but a good locals pub.

We had our usual re-union at this pub the other day. As usual they allowed us to put up posters and signage and reserve a corner of the conservatory. They always make us feel so welcome and the atmosphere is wonderful. We had a meal and the food was excellent. Lovely staff and a superb pub.

Called in to have my Sunday roast dinner which i was very impressed with the portion size well worth the money, I would recommend this establishment to anyone passing by the food is very nice and staff are very friendly both bar and kitchen.

Mi familia y yo estaba pasando a través de leeds en domingo y llamado para nuestra cena. La comida era deliciosa y fresca y abundante. Todos disfrutamos de él y sin duda alguna volveremos otra vez. Todo el personal era muy agradable y amigo y era un gran ambiente. Si su paso Drysalters es el lugar para ir.

Fue con 6 compañeros de trabajo cuando decidimos cabeza fuera del sitio para una fecha de almuerzo, y sabía que esta improvisada lugar estaba cerca, así como el anfitrión local elegí aquí. Pedimos comidas básicas, sándwiches, baguettes, etc. palitos de pescado y nos sentamos. Es cuando nos dimos cuenta de la gran cantidad de mosca atraemiradas colgando de varios puntos de la habitación, y a pesar de estar cerca de una puerta abierta al aparcamiento, las moscas estaban conscientes de nuestra presencia. Comida llegó antes teníamos la oportunidad de cambiar nuestra mente, lo que parecía un horno patatas fritas y sándwiches hechos recocido apresuradamente. La comida era más que comido, pero la izquierda con argumentos entre personal y familiares de detrás de la barra, era más fácil de instalarse y hacer una rápida salida. No regresaremos pronto, lo que es una pena, ya que la ubicación es buena y de fácil acceso.

Eaten here a few times with family. Despite some of the ppl that moan about the slightest thing the food is lovely. Staff always welcoming and friendly. Nice atmosphere.... give it a try

We ate at the Drysalters late in the afternoon on Tuesday 16th August. The food was very average. The chicken pieces in the curry where burnt around the edges and the mixed grill could have been much warmer. Apart from that all was OK.

I ate here today and all I can say is the chef should be appalled. We ordered 2 baguettes and got hunters chicken instead with raw chips. My burger was burnt badly and obviously cooked from frozen. My son's pizza was raw in the middle and burnt on edges. All this after a 45 minute wait when we were the only ones eating. Bad experience and put off for life. inedible

Booked this pub for a funeral reception, catered for 18, the buffet was perfect, the food was fresh there was more than enough for what we expected & the service was spot on, would definitely use them again, Thanks to all the Staff.

Really nice - homemade food. Large size meals & always lovely staff behind bar! Would recommend for nice pub grub at reasonable prices

Always drink here before going to the best stadium in the land to march on togetherAlways friendly and away fans welcome unless you support that team in red but then again we need promotion first

Met up with relatives from Barnsley here, their choice. When they suggested it we weren't sure as the pub went down hill many years ago but read that it had been refurbished so we thought we'd give it a try. The place was empty apart from one couple but it was a Monday lunchtime! The refurb is quite nice - all wooden & the one member of staff was very pleasant. The menu is pretty standard. My sister-in-law & myself went for jacket potatoes. There was an option of cheese & beans & my s-in-l asked for no cheese & I asked for no beans. When they arrived there was the measliest amount of topping on both & a bit of lettuce. Didn't look impressive & to be honest I've had a lot better at home. The men had the Full English which arrives with chips!? The eggs were broken & both said the only tasty part was the sausage. We will not be returning & cannot recommend.

What to say nice warmly welcome from friendly staff ordered food which came promptly very very tasty really enjoyed the afternoon all of us and would definitely recommend this pub to anybody

Long time since we had a meal in the pub ,but went today to give it a try as new management had taken over,two had Sunday lunch what a plate ful I had home made steak and ale pie largest pie I have had in a pub plus besides the veg on our plates we were brought a dish of Cauliflour cheese which was lovely, will be going again very soon.

This pub used to be able to cope with the crowds before a leeds home game. Today was an absolute joke with 4 bar staff serving and the landlord hiding in the back doing nothing ( he should be ashamed because his young girl staff were brilliant under such pressure) it took me 30 minutes to get served and then I think I pushed in !!

Only been here pre match. This is a decent pub which welcomes both home and away fans. The beer is cheeper than at the ground so well worth starting here. Can get a bit busy and the locals seem to get served much faster than anyone else, there must be some perks for regulars.

45, min wait and cold, This used to be a good venue to drink and eat but never again.This place used to be excellent but gone down to very very poor. Tables dirty, Staff totally ignore you, Good choice on menu but unpredictable. Sorry to have to say this but used to be brill! "Good Bye DRYSALTERS"

So we called at about two o'clock on Sunday. The pub wasn't busy and most people who were in were eating. I ordered our food at the bar. Nachos followed by burgers and a children's meal. At least forty mins later we had still not received the nachos. Our 19 mth old was that hungry she had taken to sucking on the sauce sachets at this point. My partners burger arrived. I explained that we had ordered nachos to who we presume is the landlord. He apologised. My partner sorted his burger and gave our daughter some chips while we waited for the rest of the meal to arrive. The waitress then came running over telling him not to eat it as it wasn't his food! She then took his burger and served it to someone else! Our food arrived relatively quickly after this although wasn't anything to write home about. I also had to chase up my daughters meal as this arrived five mins later than ours. We left early because of the wierdo sat by the side of us. Food was going to the wrong tables all around us and getting sent back.

The pub seems to be picking up getting busy day & night. New Menu New Chef always a warm welcome. Keep it up guys..

If u like the food here I can only assume u are used to beans on toast and a chip butty...its the low life

We had a couple of pints before the match and enjoyed it, even as an away fan. The atmosphere was friendly, plenty of seats, decent beer and food looked good.

me and my daughter have had the sunday lunch a few times and it has always pleased us, the gravy is to die for and the rest of the food is divine. We are going again today for another Sunday lunch and we will enjoy that one as well, great price for two people, 2 for £10

Not my best dining experience. The food was quite bland and uninspired and not a great choice of wine either.The tables were sticky and the menus were too.We went on a very chilly evening but while eating the bar staff came to smoke just outside an entrance and left the door open making the place quite cold. We moved in the end when this happened for the third time. I have had good experiences here in the past but this one really let them down, especially staff keeping doors open on cold days to smoke just where customers, yes that's us, are eating or drinking.

Do not eat here...food bland. Drinks taste like they been in the pump for a month..u would feel more welcome in that town on the wicker man

The pub is fairly large.The lighting isn`t the best.The menu is fairly extensive and reasonably priced.The meals took about twenty minutes to arrive and they were very good.All in all we would call again when in Leeds.

We went here for a meal the pub was dark and a bit dirty. Menus had food stains on them and tables a bit sticky. The choice of food was good and we had been told that the chef was new and may take longer to prepare. We ordered a starter and a main course which arrived together. There were no croutons on the Caesar salad. No reason or apology was given for this. The food was good and tasty. We ordered a pudding. Custard on crumble arrived cold and had to be re-heated. The choc-fudge ice-cream sundae was a lump of choc fudge cake in a sundae glass with 2 small scoops of icecream plus malteasers. No cream no chocolate flake. If fact not an icecream sundae. No excuse or apology was given for this.

Me and the misses had popped in with our little girl on a not overly busy day and had two meals from the two for £10 Menu with a child's chicken nuggets and chips which were more than enough for her witch doesn't happen very often. My partner had Fish and chips that was perfect size for her and I was very surprised to see steak on the two for £10 menu, was visiting family for the day so only passing through but would defiantly return to this pub again next time family calls. ***Bouns*** did I mention the free drink that came with the meals !! Can't fault that, think it would be a great pub to visit on match days to but might leave the little on at home for that one. THANKS AGAIN Dry salters see you again soon....

This is a great pub if you're visiting Elland Road. The food is good, the beer is good and you can park your car there for less than the cost of matchday parking and still come back for a drink after the match. Both sets of supporters are welcomed, there is no sign of any trouble and it was a pleasure to visit.

Заехали туда на обед, прождали около часа, чтобы хотя бы начали приносить еду, начали с рыбы, и на ней же закончили. Не смогли есть ЭТО. В заведении практически не было людей, думали, что это нам так повезло, но очевидно всё неслучайно.

I went there one lunchtime mid-week a few months ago with my daughter and her boyfriend. The pub was almost empty so we were surprised at waiting nearly 45 minutes for pub food.My daughter and her boyfriend both had fish and chips- the food was appalling - it was meant to be one of the huge fish that they advertise, but it was all batter which was really soggy on the inside and overcooked on the outside a small dried up bit of fish in the middle. They had ordered 2 rounds of bread and butter with the meal and received a plate with 6 crust pieces and 2 slices of bread - crusts are not acceptable for chip butties, although great toasted with cheese on, but to be served them in a restaurant is really not good - they were gutted!I had a burger meal with fries and onion rings with a bit of salad. Again it was lousy food - dried/overcooked burger, dried bread bun.I will never eat there again and would hope that after reading this review, some people out there will not waste their money and be disappointed.

When they so called updated the pub it destroyed it for me no more cheap beer no more work clothing so in affect destroyed the Monday club if you go now for a first time you may like it but it is not the same as it usta be the life and soul has been taken out of it in my eyes
