Fly Line in Leeds

We were here for a family Christmas meal. The atmosphere was great, the service was faultless- very attentive. Food on the whole was very good…but there was disappointment over the banoffee pie… which was definitely NOT banoffee pie, more a chocolate torte. See photo. Big shout out to Julie and Reece where great ☺️

Today was our first visit -we enjoyed it SO much we have booked for a family birthday meal next Saturday! Right from the lovely young man who greeted us at the door,to Julie who spoke with us at our table,to the Chef we witnessed come from behind her station to carry a meal from the Carvery for a Senior lady....Everyone was AMAZING!-So friendly,so helpful and made everyone feel so welcome.We even had a chat with the Managers. The best meal and experience we have had out in a VERY long time. Please keep up the wonderful work,it is much appreciated.

As an allergy family (with a toddler who has a peanut allergy), we had all but given up hope of eating out. Today, however, we were invited to The Fly Line in Garforth by friends. As usual, we began the familiar task of trying to bring our own food for our toddler. That’s when staff member Rian (apologies if I’ve got the name wrong) told us about their thorough allergy protocols and encouraged us to take a look at the menu. Any allergy parent knows that many establishments range from being unaware to unwilling to accommodate allergy needs. Due to the good vibes that my partner got from the staff, we decided to check the online menu and was amazed to see not only allergens clearly listed but also may contains- almost unheard of in our experience. I started explaining to the lady behind the till that we don’t usually order food when we eat out for our kid, but we were impressed with the level of awareness so far and were considering it... That’s when Rian came over and reassured me by explaining how our order would be handled with the utmost care. He detailed how utensils and hands would be thoroughly washed and even mentioned that the garlic bread would be prepared on a separate tray. He also knew the allergens in the cheese and tomato pasta off the top of his head and pointed out the number of allergens they recognise. By this point, I was actually blown away – This level of care and attention is something I’ve never experienced anywhere else in the UK. The staff weren’t just helpful—they were calming, empathetic, and understanding. For the first time in a year or so, our toddler was able to enjoy a family pub lunch with us, and it was such a great experience. The UK needs more establishments like this, with incredible staff like Rian and the lady at the till (so sorry, I didn't catch your name), who made us feel so welcome. We’ll definitely be seeking out more Marston’s pubs in the future because this experience truly made our day. Thank you so much! The staff at The Fly Line should feel incredibly proud—they are the most competent team I’ve come across since our diagnosis. And to Marston’s management: you are a true credit to the pub industry for being so proactive and thorough when it comes to allergies! Oh, and one more thing—there’s an EV charger in the car park, so we were able to charge the car before heading back to Manchester. Amazing service all round!

Decent meal at very fair price. Meal delivered to table within reasonable timeframe. Julie cleaned the table for us before the meal and cleared our dishes away promptly afterwards. She was lovely with us and very friendly.

We always love the friendly welcome, care to detail with our orders, good food & drink plus warm cosy environment. Cant recommend enough, we visit regulalry & have never had a bad experience unlike lots of other restaurants!

Always enjoy friendly faces always made welcome first name basis

Had a Sunday lunch , great value . Staff were brilliant

Had a lovely meal here as a family for Christmas. Food was great and wide choice as well as Carvery. Staff lovely especially Julie. Will return.

Great staff . Great food . Great prices .

Julie was very helpful and always had a smile on her face 😀

Lovely food. Reasonably priced and very friendly and helpful staff team

Julie with amazing customer service

Popped in for lunch Saturday and very impressed. Quickly seated and the atmosphere and service second to none. Decided to try the small plate carvery and was not disappointed. Plenty of choice and was all well cooked and hot. Will definitely return.

Great food, helpful staff. Can get noisy but to be expected at busy times.

Great staff - All really lovely and super friendly.

Have been to the Fly Line many times now. Most of the time everything goes well and it's a good experience. Only once have we had to complain about slow service, and on the same visit they had no carvery running but didn't put any signage up to advertise the fact! Generally service is good, especially on a recent visit on a Thursday evening when Julie and her team were running the show. Julie is brilliant with customers and everyone was on point that day 👍. The menu food is always good. Carveries in general are a bit hit and miss, and vary on when and where you go, but on all visits here they have been good (when available 😉). Visited on one occasion with my Mum (who suffers from Dementia). The carving chef was really patient with my Mum and even saved my plate whilst I helped her out getting lunch and back to the table. Really nice touch thank you 👍. We tend to go for the small carvery as it is more than enough to fill us up 🍖🍖🍖🍖.

Very friendly waitress Julie who is always positive and gives a warm welcome whatever time of day. Nothing is too much trouble and she always she makes you feel important during your visit and always make an effort to say hello and goodbye. Outstanding service. Julie is fantastic!

Julie is a wonderful woman and a real asset and credit to this food chain. Thank you Julie for been so warm and welcoming.

Lovely food, great prices, nice atmosphere and friendly staff on both visits my family have made.

Lovely service from Julie nice food good ambiance

A warm welcome supported by a clean and updated environment. Food quality was excellent with a mixture of carvery, mixed grills etc being ordered and helpfully, a tip off when the menu items were arriving so the carvery could be collected and we could all eat together. Good range of drinks available and all with a service which was speedy but not rushed. As a regular but not necessarily frequent visitor, it is great to see standards being maintained and to be recognised on arrival was a friendly bonus. A relaxed, informal and comfortable place to eat great food at very reasonable prices.

We were served by a really helpful young lad, and the lady who got us seated (called Julie) was also lovely and helpful.

Better than most places in Leeds centre! Spacious, pleasant environment (xmas decorated at the time of my visit). Friendly staff with always a smile on their face. (Thank you for today's service Julie!) Decent quality food, exactly what one would expect for the menu price. Will visit again!

Always a lovely atmosphere and very polite friendly staff. Food was good as always.

Lovely food and really attentive service from Julie. Lovely relaxing evening for us.

My husband and I had a lovely meal. Staff were friendly and Julie was amazing, great to have a little chat. Very happy.

The Fly Line Pub and Carvery is a delightful gem that combines traditional British hospitality with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Located in a picturesque setting, it offers a cosy, rustic interior that's perfect for a relaxed meal or a casual drink with friends. What truly sets The Fly Line apart, however, is the exceptional service. Kloe, one of the bar staff, made our visit particularly memorable. Her friendly and approachable demeanour immediately made us feel at home. Throughout our time at the pub, Kloe provided service with a genuine smile, always attentive to our needs without being intrusive. It's clear that she takes pride in her work, creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience for all patrons. The atmosphere at The Fly Line is always lively but not overwhelming, and it’s easy to see why this pub has such a loyal following. Whether you’re stopping in for a drink or settling down for a hearty meal, the combination of great food, a welcoming environment, and friendly staff like Kloe ensures a thoroughly enjoyable visit. I’d highly recommend The Fly Line Pub and Carvery to anyone looking for a top-notch pub experience.

Julie made sure we were well cared for and made us feel accommodated with her attentive service. Thank you Julie!

Fries we're over cooked and too hard to eat felt like it would chip a tooth Service was slightly slow and wasn't impressed with the chicken as it was chewy

Family friendly pub with brilliant caring staff! Would highly recommend! Julie is an excellent member of staff! 10/10 every time x

Julie is a friendly efficient server, we were warmly greeted by her & it's so lovely to be addressed as "Lady's" instead of "Guys" Unlike many places, she paused to allow us to answer her question on how everything was with our meals, usually it's a token is all ok? As servers waft past not staying long enough for an answer. The 30% off offer meant my mum's wine was free. We come to the fly line quite often & it's always nice. Recommended it.

It's been a long time since I've had a decent carvery in Leeds. The choice of meat was good .it tasted good too.fresh cooked vegetables good choice ..shame the gravy was slightly lumpy n a bit too thick..other than that it was superb. We paid for pigs in blankets, but we didn't get any 😪. We got a dessert to take away a piece of Rocky Road. Not as big as I'd hoped.still very nice . We will return

Our to go place for Sunday roastie

Gorgeous carvery with the family. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! Really lovely people, couldn’t do enough for you. Thank you for a lovely Sunday.

Belly’s fit to burst, Julie the waitress was very professional friendly and polite and welcoming.

Came for a birthday meal with my family, we had the carvery which was very delicious and the Yorkshire Pudding was huge! The staff were really friendly, especially Julie who made the day extra special by finding some birthday candles for us to use and sang happy birthday. She is definitely a credit to the place and we will be returning as soon as we can

Julie was really good. Cleaned table brought cutlery. Very friendly.

Big shout out to Julie very friendly and couldn’t do enough for us

Lovely, welcoming staff - especially Julie - very friendly. Good selection at the carvery - would recommend for any occasion

Great staff helpful and friendly Julie and the young guy behind the bar he was fab !!

Very welcoming and friendly staff - especially Julie. Good food and atmosphere

We had made a group booking for 12 people a few weeks beforehand and we had a given our menu choices about a week before. On arrival our table was ready and it wasn't long before we all had our meals. Most of us had the carvery and everyone commented how much they enjoyed it and what good value it was. One of us had chosen the Vegetable Thai Style Curry. It tasted good but it had less vegetables than expected and was slightly over-priced. Most of us had various desserts and they were all good. When we arrived we were welcomed by Reece and then for the rest of our meal we were looked after very well by Julie. We plan to return in the near future.

Dried up cold veg and 3 meats not available. Long wait for someone to come serve the meat as they had been in the kitchen cooking.

Lovely clean place with friendly staff. Food was nice and good options.

Great food. Staff very polite and helpful.

Beautiful carvery always fresh and hot. Lovely staff

Server was polite and attentive

had a carvery & honestly one of the nicest I've had in a long time, service was exceptional! recommend to anyone

We were part of a large group who came to celebrate a birthday. We came for Sunday lunch but there was a good variety of other meals to have for those who didn’t want a carvery. Good reviews all round regarding the food and Julie who was looking after us was excellent with the small children at the table chatting to them and asking if they wanted to colour in. She was very attentive and just lovely all round! Would definitely come again!

Reece’s service was out of this world. What a lovely lad. Food was amazing definitely would recommend and we are definitely going back

Reece made the dinning experience really enjoyable and incredibly polite

We celebrated our granddaughter's 7th birthday and there were 8 of us. Nice welcome. Great food especially the carvery. Julie was so pleasant and helpful, a really lovely person, she made our visit special.

Great service at reasonable prices. The playground out the back is good for kids too. We're regulars and we thoroughly enjoy the hospitality and cuisine.

This is the third time in here and every time the food was amazing

Reece was superb as always, very welcoming and not been for a while but seems to do things the right way every time

Another lovely evening meal with the family the food and atmosphere was fantastic julie who took our order was very polite and helpful as was all the staff right from the manager to the lovely lady who cleared our table

Good friendly service. Good excellent.

Popped in at the start of a long car journey. Had the fish and chips and the sausage and mash. Friendly greetings and told to find our own table , we ordered using the QR code. I ordered drinks at the bar. Food came to the table after 10 minute wait ....plates absolutely scorching which I love in a restaurant. Too many places serve unsafe tepid food- not this one! The food was lovely, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Special mention to Julie.

Thank you Julie for your friendly and efficient service on Sunday evening ! 😄

my colleague julie was lovely, love you jules xx

We were passing through on our way home from a gig at Leeds. The staff here were very welcoming and friendly. We had the breakfast which was perfect. Will definitely call again when in the area.

Good meal at Fly Line tonight . Gammon and eggs and a carvery . Beef was beautiful and soft . Turkey was lovely as well . Lovely veggies . Just wish they were hotter . Still had a good meal . Will go again soon !!!!!!

Julie is fab, really helpful and attentive. Absolute star!

Mi amigo y yo vinimos con nuestros dos hijos de 1 año. Tuvimos buena comida, buen servicio y nos sentimos muy bienvenidos con dos bebés desordenados.

My wife and I had the Lunch Deal (Hunters Chicken) with dessert. The chicken was small, less than a quarter of a breast, but it tasted OK. For dessert we had ordered the Ice cream sundae. Having finished our main course we awaited our dessert. And we waited, and despite repeated requests, we waited some more. It wasn't a case of the staff were busy, quite the reverse, the place was almost empty. Other than a very apologetic cleaner, the staff were invisible. Not impressed.

Came with family for some food. Reese abd the team looked after us and the food was great

Fantastic place staff where wonderful lovely food no complaints 😀

Relaxing carvery and very helpful staff. Highly recommend

The service by Julie was fantastic, she’s a credit to you. However my food, I ordered a chicken and bacon salad which was meant to come with quinoa, kale, brown rice and soya beans but I didn’t get any of those. It was lettuce cucumber tomato red onion and peppers with the chicken and bacon so it wasn’t what I paid for. Disappointed.

The staff are just fantastic here, the food was gorgeous & we will absolutely be coming again!!

Great Food and great service from Reece and the team.

Julie greeted us & brought the cutlery, she was lovely. The carvery server as also lovely & very informative. The carvery itself was delicious. Will be back.

Great value carvery especially when you have a 30% off voucher

Sorry to have to , say this but I called in for four takeaway carvery meals , and was very dissatisfied and sadly disappointed with the meals as they were not satisfactory which I believe was not the norm , but when I put in a complaint the problem was gladly without any qualms resolved amicably and with a heartfelt apology of which I was satisfied by from the owner Anthony who was clearly troubled by the fact he takes great pride in what is presented to his customers .so my thanks .

Great place to dine service was legendary

Excellent food and staff were lovely.

Absolutely lovely pub great for gluten free options and staff are lovely, julie served us and she was the sweetest waitress we have ever come across she was so good with the kids and so personable can't wait to be back she definitely deserves some recommendation, reece also helped us get a booking sorted and made our day fitting us in

Ok the meat was nice veg cooked ok

Breakfast was really nice (BIG) Service was very friendly & helpful. Good job👍

Went on a mid week night, food was pretty decent. Only one person working the bar though meant a slow service. Plates weren't cleared away for a long time after eating. I would visit again though. Food would have had 4 stars but felt the portion was a little on the small side.

Julie and the rest of the team were lovely. Very friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was lovely.

Julie was extremely helpful and enthusiastic Thank you
