Gildersome Arms in Leeds

Lovely carvery! I visited with family including my little one, we all chose the carvery. It was fresh and hot. Nothing was too much trouble for the team.

Amazing service from michael and abi. They have a great selection of beer and cider that we really enjoyed. The food was delicious as usual

Great little spot. Carvery and menu options available which helps when you have picky eaters! Carvery was lovely, although the veg ran low very quickly, the lady carving was aware and brought us fresh to our table aswell as topping up the options on the carvery & was very apologetic! Definitely a family favourite!

Stopped for a quick lunch and the pub was quiet however that didn’t mean the staff lack attention or customer service! Abi & Mike are so friendly and always up for a chat! We was told Lauren was the carvery chef & Karen was cooking the menu. So of course we tried both! Absolutely 10/10! Veg was fresh and the beef roasties!!! 100/10! Thanks Guys!

Karen served me always polite She's my favourite carvery person Always with a smile and makes time to chat when quiet attentive to the veg section

Carvery lunch served by Lauren 10/10 Drinks 10/10 Bar service 10/10 9vetall throughly enjoyed lunch We will be back

Came here today as we were up from Liverpool visiting our son who’s in Leeds uni and we’re looking for a carvery. We were a little worried at first as we are used to Toby carvery but omg this was so much better than Toby!! So much selection and portion sizes were unreal! Luke behind the carvery was so lovely chatted to us as he was serving us and also the waitress Abbie and Ali (I think) we will definitely be back again!

Meal spoilt by under cooked vegetables. I like al dente but not half cooked! Portions good but when I mentioned the veg to staff, got no feedback. The waitress just walked away

Good welcome and no que so we were straight in. It took a little while for someone to respond to the bell, but again very polite and friendly. The meat was plentiful and the gravy was tasty. However, the food was cold and we had to ask for it to be microwaved. The veg was also undercooked. Wwe did bring this to the attention of the manager, who was very apologetic and offered us a free coffee. Not sure we will be back again though!

I cannot understand the bad reviews our experience was great polite and friendly staff, great fresh food with lots of choice on the carvery and plenty of it also at a really good price. We have already decided to go again. Ignore the bad reviews just try it for yourself.

Very nice and filling food, good portions of meat and the guy at the carvery station was very kind and helpful and made sure we got our moneys worth.

Hmm something needs doing at the Greene King run establishment Gildersome Arms Three of us called in tonight although the eating option was off (too late we was informed at 19:30, so we settled down for pint or two. Staff friendly but was informed the last orders was 21:00 and closing at 21:20-30 prompt (Saturday Night) The thing that troubles myself and the two others was a constant barrage of flies in the seated bar area buzzing around somewhat spoiling the shortened visit here Unfortunately I doubt if we will return

Food wass fine little disappointed that when fresh meat was put out the carver tried to serve us the stuff that had curled its toes up. The vege had dried out . Then we had to eat out dessert s with out elbows in are dinner plates. Shame really

Absolute rubbish!! Man serving on carvery was very rude and didnt want to bring out any new joints of meat even though there was hardly anything left on the beef or gammon he was trying to carve from, paid extra for yorkshire puddings that were tiny and soggy, mash looked like instant, roasties looked like aunt Bessie,s frozen, other people in queue were complaining, not just us, sure to say we wont be going again.

Popped in for a family meal, carvery was bob on, steak fondue is incredible, Kirsten and Freya provided great service, will be back.

Lovely cavery as always best mash best gravy best York pudding always a great meal every time I come .

Food was really good by Luke the chef staff were really polite and the price is cheap i would recommend 100%.

We visited this pub specifically for the carvery as we were craving a full Sunday dinner with all of the trimmings and but with none of the effort of actually having to spend hours making it…. or washing up afterwards! As soon as we entered we were given a warm welcome from the lady behind the bar. As we had not been here before we asked how this carvery operated and we were given clear and helpful instructions. We then thanked her and made our way to our table, settled in and went back to the till to order both from the menu and purchase our carvery tickets. My son is autistic and this means that we often have trouble at mealtimes. The kids menu in here is a dream… it’s a pick and mix… it couldn’t have been more perfect for our sons needs. He also has to have his food presented to him in a particular way, with gravy separated in a pot etc and they accommodated his needs exactly and without issue. Once we were ready to get our food we approached the carvery area, there was no queue at that time and we waited there for a moment and then I noticed the sign that asks you to ring the bell! So we then rang the bell for the chef to come out and serve us (genius idea) The chef came out quickly, he was happy, chatty and a genuinely lovely person all round. We got our food and made our way back to our table. While away from our table a waitress had changed the cup of cutlery for us, wiped the table and given us fresh serviettes, she later came back to check that everything was ok with our meals too. She also made us feel welcome and comfortable. The food itself was delicious, the turkey was full of moisture and the portion sizes were perfect. I had a bit of all three meats and can honestly say they were all cooked to perfection. The food overall was very fresh and very tasty. The cauliflower cheese surprised us the most as it was so full of flavour compared to the version we usually in the supermarket. There was only one thing I could point out and it’s not even a negative thing, the handles of the serving spoons in the self-serve vegetable area were a bit hot to the touch but not everyone in our party thought so. Overall I would say that this place has given us an excellent first impression and we will be happily returning. There’s even a lovely little play area out back but we didn’t use it on this occasion.

Fantastic food Pleasant, cheerful, helpful and friendly member of staff Holly. Fantastic member of staff, thank you 😁

It’s been two weeks and no ice!!!!!!! Keep being told I’ve machine is broken! Get some ice!!!!! Buy some ice bags!!

Great meal thanks to Carla who helped sort out a gluten free meal - always good service but this was over & above!

Service great food not so good Would i come back properly not Been many times but not for a while. Now u know why.

Food is great but the amount of flies is very off putting. If you enjoy swinging your arms around while your eating you will be ok. Something needs to be done about the flies.

Called in for a quick lunch, ended up with a carvery, it was very nice, good choice of meats, served by Karen very polite and friendly x

DO NOT EAT HERE! Came in with family we ordered 3 for £11 x2 of the menu, the “pigs on blankets” were just battered sausage that were dry. The lasagna contained hair! The chicken wings were dry and looked undercooked, over all was not a...

Great spot for a day time drink if you’re looking for somewhere relaxed. Staff are very attentive, in particular a lovely lady called Holly was exceptional.

Staff where very polite and accommodating. Food was lovely. Bonus staff where selling cakes for McMillan to take home Would recommend definitely

The worst experience ever, food awful, deserts still frozen. Our children were crying with the awful experience, as a vulnerable adult was running around screeming, no staff came to explain things were in control. I spoke with the manager and he did say sorry, and...

Popped in for the carvery with a friend and had a lovely wholesome meal. The young lady managed to squeeze us in which was wonderful. We were both stuffed by the end of the meal. The food was starry and reasonably priced. It was busy...

Went in for carvery as in the area. Not the best carvery I have had, most of it was cold n very hard. My gammon was nearly all fat couldn't eat it. Pigs in blankets were the best part of the meal.

Haven't been for a while as the food used to not be great. Went today and we were all pleasantly surprised. The food was all really tasty. We had steak and fondue and it was cooked well. Steak was ordered well done and it was...

we tend to go for the carvery during the week and the staff are friendly and helpful. some times the Yorkshire pudds are like concrete but apart from that a nice pleasant place. give it a go.

Food was amazing staff really friendly would definitely go back banging experience first class brilliant

Really nice experience tonight when we went in for some food, gentleman on the carvery was lovely and couldn't help enough

If you like hard veg and undercooked yorkshire puds get in. I personally prefer my veg to be slightly soft. The restaurant said that our food passed their quality checks before it went to be served. Well there is quality and there is good quality...

Visited gildersome Arms for food and drink, of which both were lovely. Brilliant service provided by a girl called Abi

As a nation, I think, we expect great customer service, but don't really bat an eyelid when we don't receive it, as it's the norm as such. For most places it is. I am a regular visitor here and find the staff (especially the staff),...

Visit here often, today flies were everywhere, having to swot flies away whilst eating there were several customers doing the same. We mentioned to the waitress as did others nearby all told because of the heatwave and they had fly catchers around, not noticeable though....

We eat here a few times a year and it's usually alright, typical pub grub and friendly service. However, went recently and the pub was full of flies. Im not talking 10 annoying flies, there was flies covering parts of the carpet, they were crawing...

Brilliant and friendly staff, above and beyond is their aim by the looks of it. Beautiful food and they have LEEDS UNITED football gear all over the bar area! Great atmosphere for the lads watching footy!

Thank you to all the staff for their excellent friendly service & delicious meals. Relaxed, comfortable dining area, fantastic value for money, great Carvery selection & drink offers. Personal choice but the only let down for me were the roast potatoes.

Great food and staff make you feel welcome would recommend and you can just walk in no booking required 5* service will be going again 👍

Turned up without a booking but they kindly found us a spot. Food very fresh and we'll presented. Very much enjoyed.

We come here whenever we fancy a carvery. The meat is perfectly cooked, the portions are good and everything is lovely. So reasonably priced and you leave feeling stuffed. Friendly, helpful staff. No waiting around.

We booked in with a family of 15 and the staff made our experience very enjoyable. The staff were amazing Carla, Kirsten and a tall smiley guy were very pleasant! Thank you! Food was also fantastic!

Went for a meal with my partner and ordered food at 16.50 after being stood at the bar for ages. Manageress then told the girl who was serving me to stop and take food out to tables, so waited even longer to get served when...

We had a great time celebrating a birthday here! They even blocked off an area of the pub for us to make it extra special! Even with the 20 of us all the food was delicious and the service was excellent! Now I've been a...

Can’t fault this place, never had an issue personally and came yesterday for it to spot on again! See you next time

I ordered the mixed grill which was not to the usual standard however Lauren our fab friendly waitress couldn't do enough to put this right. My partner had the steak and ale pie which was excellent .. thanks again Lauren

The service we got was fabulous staff were always very tentative and the food especially the large cod and fries and mushy peas delicious. Will definitely go back

Staff are extremely welcoming from the start to finish of our visit. We have visited Gildersome Arms many times and we are never dissapointed. As it was a bank holiday weekend we thought we would have to Waite a while for our food, it was...

We came for something to eat the other day and I cannot complain at all! Everything from the food, drinks, service and atmosphere was absolutely top notch! We'll definitely be returning! I think the lady that served us was named Carla. Thank you!

I enjoy the food here and how lovely the staff are. They really do go out their way to help with anything. We've booked a family party here in the next few weeks as we love the private area we are given and the food!...

Can't fault it here. For a meat lover like me the mixed grill is the best affordable meal. Coming back to try that steak cheese dipper. Can't wait. Staff are friendly and helpful. See you soon.

We visited this evening. They were very busy and short staffed. However, the service was excellent. Carla was apologetic and kept us informed, still smiling! When the food arrived it was delicious, particularly my steak nd ch8cken cheese fondue. The steak was cooked to perfection....

Went there tonight! Lovely staff, lovely food. To be fair we have been a few times now and have never been disappointed. The guy behind the carvery is so pleasant! The blonde waitress goes out of her way to please and the young guy behind...

Thought we'd try something different to normal and so glad we did! Great choice on the carvery and on the menu. Staff very friendly. Will be back again soon!

today I visited the Gildersome Arms pub. Pleasant atmosphere tasty dishes. I especially want to mention that bartender Michael is a polite employee who lifts your spirits and is a quality professional who understands you and makes you the best cocktails.

Visited this pub first time in July 2021 and all the time enjoyed the tasty carvery, cold and fresh beer. Staff is very lovely and food is served very fast. After a busy week feel free to visit the pub.

Fantastic carvery, plenty of meat, loads of vegetables to choose from, all piping hot. The staff are very friendly and we will definitely be coming back. Well done Gildersome Arms, you are a fab team!
