We dropped in for food on our way home as we saw there was a new food menu and we haven't been in years. Food was great loads of choice and on a deal mid week. Love they have neck oil as cannot get a decent beer near where we live in south Leeds and we can walk here so will be back

Hi we came for a meal last week. It was lovely until my sister went to cut up her second piece of chicken but couldn't as I dont think it was cooked correctly. I mentioned this to a member of staff but got no feed back at all which I was disappointed as on our arrival everyone seemed very pleasant. We came in last Thursday approx 4.45pm my sister was the disabled person you helped with the door. Did you get time to look into this please.

The waffle looked incredible 😲 they did have a Coach of Leeds supporters return while we were there & the landlord was kind enough to let us know so we could keep an eye to kids. Pub filled when they arrived amd staff were quick to get the bar que down very quickly. Lovely place staff and locals were all pleasant. Would deffo recommend and will no doubt be back in future

We have been for lunch a 2 occasions before on a weekday and the food was OK How today we had the roast chicken roast dinner .The plates arrived with a small chicken that was over cooked pale and dry .2 small roast potatoes a blob of lumpy mash , over cooked peas and green beans and lumpy gravy.And we waited 30 mins Not impressed we will not be going again .the menu stated half a roast chicken and sage and onion stuffing .Who ever cooked and plated this embarrassing food needs a cooking lesson

Booked a table because we thought that with limited tables it would be better. However no tables had been removed. No official track and trace system but there was a leaflet on the table advising you to complete on line . Two tables near us, one with five diners and one with six, did not bother. Waited 45 mins for food. Half way through I discovered something in the batter of my fish so reported it to who I thought was the manager. He did not say anything just took it away . 20 mins later no one had been to speak to me about it. We were waiting for ice cream re kids meal. When this came I asked the waitress what it was that was in my food. She said she would go see the manager. By this time I was feeling that they were just hoping I would leave. Then a waitress came and said that it was something in the fish nothing to do with them! I said it was stuck in the batter not the fish. Half of it was when it went back. Ignoring the lack of social distancing. Ignoring the 45 mins wait. The customer care was so shocking we will not be returning

Called on Thursday evening for a meal with my friend totally ignored and left standing at the door. Saw one plate of food come out but still nobody came to us, saw bar staff regularly looking at us but made no attempt to speak to us. Then the member if staff who brought the plate of food out appeared behind the bar with his mouth full of food, then a gentleman came from around the corner with his empty glass and lo and behold who got served first, yes your right the guy wanting his beer, and when I pointed out that we had been stood waiting for at least 10 all I got was a shrug of the shoulders having been a customer regularly if the previous owners we thought we would give it a try, but we will never step foot in that place and would certainly recommend my friends nit to go there at all

After a few beers in Leeds city centre ( Saturday night) we jumped on the 110 bus home. The rain was bouncing down so we decided to pop in to the Gardeners Arms for a quick pint and then get a taxi home. I've not been in this pub for years. The two lads behind the bar could not help us enough. A nice pint of Theakstons and i asked for a local taxi number. They said they would ring the taxi. Within 10 minutes the taxi was there for us. The lad who ordered the taxi shook our hand and wished us a safe journey home. The lads had never met us before but the customer service was absolutely fantastic. Thank you

I have rated this average because we have had two visits recently and had issues with both. We sometimes go for the £5 lunch club deal, drink and sandwiches for £5. There are a small selection of items you can get with this offer however it’s decent value so I’m not complaining. The first time around I got the steak sandwich and it was extremely fatty. They had also run out of other options and bread so my choice was limited. They also had problems with the till so no card payments could be taken and with no money I had to make a special trip to the bank just to pay. Not exactly a hassle free lunch. The second visit pretty much same ... no ciabatta bread so another compromise was needed. There wasn’t many people ordering but had to wait an age before being served and that took ages as the only lady serving was having issues with the till. One of my party ordered the steak and again very fatty and not cooked to requirement. Fish was supposed to come with tata sauce which it didn’t. Small salad and chips are always spot on. Could be great If they address the issues. I would say it’s better than the Angel offer down the road.

TACKLE a day out sightseeing in the fresh air and you'll wind up hungry enough to eat your dinner and the plate it comes on. The three of us were tired, hot, bothered and ravenous, so we made our first ever visit to the Gardeners Arms....and we were hooked. The food here is quite simply a pleasure to eat. My daughter was first to order and had the chicken, ham and leek pie. We couldn't stop laughing when it arrived because the pie was huge and with nice crisp pastry not some soggy surround. My wife ordered the grilled chicken, bacon and cheese dish which she said was very tasty and I had the lamb shank which was delicious. We also ordered various soft drinks, I had a beer which was well kept and I had just enough space left for a sort of millionaire's shortcake desert which piled on the holiday calories. All this was consumed in light, bright surroundings which had clean well kept toilets and very friendly staff who did their best to help despite it being a very busy Saturday night. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we came back twice more, the first time having a goat cheese salad, a gammon steak and sausages and mash followed by sundaes and the second -- on a wilting day when temperatures reached 37C -- we gratefully ordered two cool salads and a chicken and chips. Both times the weather was so hot I had two pints and scarcely noticed them. If you added the cost of all three nights together -- all main meals, deserts and drinks -- it barely came to £100 for three people which we felt was exceptional value for money. We have no hesitation in recommending anyone to come to the Gardeners Arms for a meal and we'll be back there again when next we visit Yorkshire.

We visited the Gardeners arms for the first time in a while. It'll be even longer before we go back. I ordered steak pie, chips and mushy peas and my wife ordered a hand battered fish goujons sandwich on white bloomer bread.My pie came with mash and green veg which was garden peas and green beans but I decided to eat it anyway as it looked good, the real problem was that the pie had been 'cooked' in the microwave which made the pastry soft and stretchy, not crisp as it should be. When I took it back and reminded the server that i'd ordered chips and mushy peas he told me 'that's how it comes' so I then added that the pie had been in the microwave, he took it into the kitchen and came back out asking if I wanted a fresh one which I declined.My Mrs didn't get hand battered goujons on bloomer she got fish fingers on two slices of thin white bread, also had to ask for tartare sauce which is part of the list on the menu. Whilst paying for what we had eaten I mentioned to to the server that we were also disappointed by getting captain birds eye fish fingers and not hand battered goujons so off he went into the kitchen and came back to tell us that they were the 'spec' that they served for that dish. Just a very disappointing visit.

Christmas Dinner was a disaster. Overpriced, overcooked and disappointing. Food came all on one plate, so no choice of veg or gravy etc. Veg was cooked within an inch of its life. One roast potato per person, no bigger than a wedge and burnt. Starter and pudding very average, stale bread as an example and spicy chicken goujouns, not normal batter for kids. Lack of interest in producing a nice meal, which for £45 a head, it should have been.
