King on the Lane in Leeds

King on the Lane also know as the penny fun to the locals is a nice friendly pub with great staff and friendly locals. This place can get very busy and rowdy on a weekend with the local young one's but all in all a great local pub with the Allerton center on its doorstep for places like sainsburys and subway and the local library.

Really happy with the service at the king on the lane, all the staff was really friendly and the food was lovely! I can already see the positive impact the new landlord Jack has made and I’m excited to come back. Definitely recommend a visit!

Came to check out safe access for a wheelchair. But No disabled parking!! The pub is the edge of a large shopping area so very busy roads. Unsafe for wheelchairs to navigate. Staff unaware of lack of disabled parking. Only the adjoining service access road would facilitate drop off but access not allowed. Website has disabled icon?

Annoying when kids are after the lawfull times. Kids in s pub after 8pm is not right.

Arrived just at opening, new food menu, a couple of items unavailable but that is to be expected. Quick fast service with a smile

Always have an amazing time at King on the lane. Tracy is a lovely host and really looks after you. The pub even had a game of bingo going on and I was lucky enough to win it 😝. They also have a pool table and their food is absolutely sumptuous too. If you happen to live in the vicinity or are simply just passing by then you should definitely come down for a couple of drinks and food. Going back to Delhi on Sunday but I’m definitely going to miss King on the lane and Tracy. :)

Had a great time with family enjoy thanks 😊 xxyes we had a good time the staff are very friendly xx

A bar that I visit infrequently but over the last few years has got better and better. Very welcoming atmosphere and a good range of drinks at sensible prices. Good place to visit after shopping.

Fabulous pub with amazing food. Lovely staff and great local people. It's very clean and not a bad pint.

Great energy and live entertainment, good prices and great food. Very welcoming and easy going..........................................

I came to this pub few years ago and really enjoyed it. I was in the area recently and a friend suggested it. I was pleasantly surprised with all the improvements. It’s been refurbished and now includes a family area. We really enjoyed the food, the drinks and entertainment. Staff super friendly and food affordable. Would recommend

I visited the pub in early April for food and drinks with friends . The pub is nicely decorated and was lovely and clean when we arrived . We ordered our food and was waiting only around 15 mins when our food arrived,was hot when it arrived and tasted lovely. The staff there were very attentive and could not do enough for us. Visited again the Sunday for a roast dinner and was gorgeous . Would definitely recommend this place

Often go here for drinks with friends staff are every friendly and food is lovely,also Wednesday nights at bingo are always a laugh and good prizes given away !

Me and a few friends visited for a few day time drinks,the staff were lovely and welcoming and they have a great range of drinks and food

Good Friendly Atmosphere, polite staff

Only nipped in for a pint, but seems an ok place

Nice pub food, pleasant staff. Quite busy and loud.

Lovely food lovely staff recommend highly

Good prices and choice Friendly staff Clean Good atmosphere Nice decor

Stood outside waiting for them to open this morning 4/1/22 waited until 1210 this lunch time then went to cold 🥶 to wait any longer 😰😡

Good Money Bingo on a Wednesday

Great family pub, food is amazing and the staff are always really welcoming

Myself and a friend visited on Saturday for the first time since the pandemic started. We were so glad we did, the staff were very welcoming, the pub was extremely clean, fresh, bright and well decorated ready for Halloween. The food we ordered was well cooked and presented, it tasted fantastic too. We struggled to find any fault, the only thing we could think of was the was too many chips for us personally. The gammon was cooked exactly as we asked and service was very prompt. Desserts were to die for, again served quickly and presented well. Surprisingly impressed much better than the previous visits we have had there. We'll done to all.

Excellent Service and food. Staff are super efficient and friendly

Excellent - Recommended. I had their beef Sunday roast, although pork was also available. Everything was perfectly cooked especially the lean and tender beef. I am diabetic so they agreed to limit roast potatoes to less than normal, omit Yorkshire and carrots. I forgot to mention mash so that came and I tried a mouthful it was very good. Vegetables were cauliflower cheese, cabbage, green beans and if I had included them carrots all fresh and nicely cooked. The gravy was very flavoursome and not over thickened. I love gravy asking for extra when I ordered. A full gravy boat was served! The only condiment I wanted was horseradish which arrived in a pot and not those fiddlesome sachets. The whole experience was somewhere between the best of home cooking and a first rate restaurant 😊 My friend joined me but had his boxed to take home as he has timed dietary needs so I didn't see the full roast but he said portions were very good and the yorkshires proper yorkshires not the small frozen ones! On the basis that my diabetically reduced meal was still a filling adults meal I can believe the full portions would satisfy everyone. Price was good. I think £9.95 but I was concentrating more on the delicious food. Oh there is plenty of outside seating half of which is under cover. I am going to be eating here at least once a week and trying their brunch which unlike many places doesn't end at 11 a.m. but runs all day. As a diabetic if I limit chips and beans brunch is lower carbs. Sorry this is so long but I have been disappointed at so many pubs and restaurants. I have only found one other good roast in town and that is £12. On overall quality the King is the better. Enough said!

I visited this place today for the first time,I had a Sunday roast which was truly delicious, the veg all fresh,the BEEF cooked bang rite,excellent value for money,compliments to the chef

OMG - what a terrible place this is now. We visited last year after 1st lockdown and were so impressed with all the care that the new managers showed to their customers and the venue. We vowed to return as we were so impressed with the improvements from the Penny. Now, the place is dirty, no atmosphere and whilst I was there, I witnessed some appalling anti social behaviour that left one of the customers bleeding badly! The "landlord" was so unwelcoming and the bar staff seemed uninterested. Never again and I advise anyone that wants a drink/meal or to watch the game in a nice, relaxed atmosphere where you feel welcome, Beirut would be a better option that here. Sorry to see the rapid decline.

Just been to King on the lane pub warm and friendly friendly welcome food absolutely gorgeous had lasagne and garlic bread would highly recommend gammon and chips good value for money as well will be eating there again 👍👍

Sat outside in the sun. Staff very pleasant

I knew this place before it was refurbished and the old landlord. This is now a friendly, welcoming pub. All staff are very friendly. Great Covid awareness rules and regs. Good decor, atmosphere and ambience. Landlords are welcoming and friendly. Dog and children friendly. Will definitely come back again.

It was nice not to busy and defo not flapping about covid im going back tomorrow :)

The landlord and staff are friendly (apart from the bouncer who barged straight past me in the doorway without saying a word) but this seems like one of those "locals only" pubs where the presence of anyone who doesn't come in there regularly won't be appreciated by the regulars. As soon as I walked in, everyone turned round, looking at me like "Who the **** are you?!" I was meeting a friend here for a meal so sat down at a table with my drink, but the people at the table opposite kept gawping at me. This made me feel really uncomfortable and frankly unwelcome, so I hurried my drink down and when my mate arrived, I quickly said "Let's go somewhere else" so we hopped in the car and did, to somewhere with much friendlier clientele and had a lovely evening. My friend who lives locally said this pub has a rough history of troublemakers from the neighbouring estates, which partly explained the atmosphere. Even though they've rebranded and had a refurb it seems there are still problems here and reading some of the other reviews, it appears that others have felt the same way. No disrespect to the landlord or his staff, as I said, they're friendly enough (not sure about that bouncer though) but he's clearly still got some work to do, if he wants to attract new customers that will feel welcome and want to stay and return again.

Was our first visit to this pub. My husband wanted to watch leeds united on bt sport and as its local to us decided to try it. On arrival no one greeted us or asked for our contact details. I used NHS trace and track. I would say pub looked clean and tidy. Space round tables. There was a one wsy system in place no one used it. Hardly any people wore face masks. And just wandered around pub. Sitting anywear. I didn't see any tables cleaned when people left. It could be a nice place but I won't visit again. Covid rules need to be followed by everyone.

Lovely new and comfy decor, a perfect pint and nice food they always a music on which makes a bit lively and not the old boring English pub... Recommended

The only place I’ve been where I feel as safe as can be considering the situation. Pristine, friendly and welcoming without breaking social distance, lovely. I am really happy to have The King on the lane as my local pub.

At first appearance this place has come a long way from the old penny fun However.. This place is very much the same as the penny fun off the old days.. *new landlords have tried to roll it in glitter but the clientele will never change it seems. Owners - landlords - seem to be aggressive and rude , or annoying over friendly Drunks Who like to impose there presence on the clientele who spend more money. So this isnt the place to go for a couples night or quiet meal.The food takes an hour to arrive then it was missing sides or sauces. The hole experience was well below expectations.

Always made welcome. Great managers, staff, atmosphere and food.

We were informed straight away about one way system, which was clearly marked on floor. Surprised then to see staff did not adhere to it. Ordered our drinks via waiter service. Then became aware that no other members of staff were wearing any face masks. I would say give this place a miss.

Just wanted to say how good it was to see the member of staff called Danielle show such kindness and consideration towards two seniors. I was most impressed by how she helped a lady to her table in a really friendly, respectful way and how she spoke to a male senior too. It made me feel very positive. We were also very happy with the food we were served. I liked the lunch deal, my husband liked the fish and we all cleared our plates. Thank you again. X

Good atmosphere in the king on the lane tonight..lots of people in

the food are very nice and the owners are very attentive

Lovely food, menu, decor and staff. Really enjoyed the vegetarian Sunday roast and hubby raved on the chilli burger. Thank you for a relaxed afternoon and yummy, plentiful food

Visited three times recently, twice for Sunday lunch. Excellent food and service. Staff managed to please a fussy eater, someone who usually doesn't really like pub burgers and a vegetarian used to sub standard vegetables in local pubs, so well done all round. Also big...

Fantastic friendly staff. Service very quick and food was freshly cooked and served hot. Wheelchair access is excellent.

What a lovely meal we had yesterday afternoon 6 girls having a get together. The meal was great and the landlord was so lovely when the taxi we ordered didn’t arrive for over 2hours he kept coming over to make sure we were ok and apologising even though it wasn’t his fault. Would recommend giving the place a try. We will definitely go again.

Great venue, friendly atmosphere and good food

Great staff great food. Not too good on security & implementing their Anti-Bullying policy as my Partner got assaulted in the toilet

Wow what a lovely pub this is. Great management, lovely food n great staff .Nothing to much trouble. This pub is spotless and very chilled. Loved the background music to definitely be going in again come on guys give it a try you won.t be disappointed 💖💖💖💖🍷🍷🍷🍷🎵🎵🎵🎵😍😍😍😍😍

Shocking service and ignorant staff. The food wasn’t fit for a dog

Had a chance on refurb to make it stand out from every other pub. A chance to return it to the busy pub of 80's. What you put back in tv.! Get rid. Concentrate on beer, food and atmosphere. Want to watch sports. Go to football match. Stop at home!

Been today has taken my kids for there tea amazing company , polite staff verry friendly lovley food would recommend to other people

All I can say......AMAZING well done Mark & Matthew.

Each to their own I guess. Not my cup of tea.

Very disappointed no lager on tap that's a big no no for a pub to run out of lager

Food was awful, for a nice sunday catching up with family.. well there was a dj on blasting music and im not exaggerating! We could hardly hear what eachother was trying to say! Wont be visiting again..

popped in for a drink and lunch. Atmosphere is good and friendly staff. Food prices are good I would say the food was overall ok. Chips were nice

Wayne is a great Lanlord and everyone enjoyed the Ale Mary band

Decent place recently renovated

Great food, good pub and nice n clean

Was very quiet but was a Tuesday afternoon. No music or atmosphere.

Void of atmosphere.manager should have lessons in how to smile

I was married to the landlord. We made a child. I am honour bound to say good things.

Quiet pleasant pub on midweek afternoons

Lovely pint of Otter Bitter and a nice Sandwich.

After a hard shop at Sainsbury's, always a call to the penny fun to relax! Good Guinness refreshes always!

This place is very good for music and sport like football cricket rugby golf and very good food

very friendly staff great for a night out great environment i love this place i highly recommend it to all have a great time at the pennyfun

Called in Yesterday as it's been closed for a month or so. New Manager ,but of a refurb and a new Menu. Food was lovely ,good choice of beer and wine ,very clean and nice staff. Sky wasn't on but apparently it was getting switched...

All I can say is ......... OMG!

Not a very nice place to go, was lovely years ago but has gone down hill past few years, not a family place, would not recommend it

Do not go in penny fun it is not my kond of pkace

Handy for me because I don't live far away.

Nice quiet pub for a drink after going to the gym or after a shopping spree in Habitat, Argos, Homebase or Sainsbury. New modern decor and clean and modern toilets. Limited choice of wines, seating outside and the front opens up if you want the benefits of the outdoors with the warmth the indoors provides. Food ok and reasonably priced. No wine glasses as apparently all were broken over the weekend. CASH ONLY. This place does not accept debit or credit cards.

Good beer sometimes good music and nice food at good value

Nice and friendly staff. Cheap and good food, pool table and tv with sports. I love this place

Typical working men's type pup. Good beer though and live music

Its my local. The place has been refurbished but the drink prices are too high and have put a lot of people off. The previous landlady left under a cloud. Have had a relief couple who were very good but now it seems the place...

Never been in before, but attracted by the two meals for £10 and, under new management, we thought we'd see what it was like. Browsing through that menu we were attracted by eight ounce rump steak for £6 so we gave it to go. Cooked...

This pub in north leeds has recently undergone a major refurbishment. For years it become more run down and not a particular nice place to socialise. Wow now i love it. I go as often as i can. Elaine the landlady has made it a...

Since it has been refurbished it is a much nicer pub as they are trying to attract families now and there are less dodgy people than before. It looks like a completely different place and they now serve food including a Sunday dinner however it...

Went to the penny fun for the children's fun day and what a total disaster! The land lady doesn't like kids as it is and called the day off short! She shut the bar and told all kids to leave..she then barred half of the...

Lovely pub. Good atmosphere. Could do with disco/karaoke weekly.to boost its potential. And serve food.
