Myrtle Tavern, Meanwood in Leeds

Great traditional pub with the chance you can catch a cricket match

Great food, great beer, great staff. Very impressed.

Served by Danielle. Visited for the Sunday roast. Was delicious, lovely interior and exterior. Friendly and attentive service

My wife and I went for Food there on a Friday lunchtime. It was lovely. Staff were very welcoming. Will be going back!

Excellent huge tasty meals, great variety, something for everyone.

Great pub, not sure if it meets all the hype. Need to book a week in advance for food, which looked good but I was unable to order on the day I went because I hadn't booked in advanced and they also stop serving at 5pm on Sundays. Drinks are London prices so on the expensive side considering they are busy.

Delicious roasts on Easter Sunday. Service was prompt, despite being very busy . Friendly attentive staff. Due to the large portions we sadly couldn't fit in a dessert! 😂 We will have to return for that! Gorgeous surroundings too by the Meanwood cricket club.

Amazing pub. We stopped in after a walk round Meanwood park. Had a pint and some chunky chips whilst watching the cricket in the field next door. Some great beers on tap, the food looks amazing and there's loads of outdoor seating. Perfect.

Only pub I know where you can get different pictures on your Guinness. Plus great beer gardi

Visited for lunch on Easter Sunday. We were welcomed and taken to our table straight away. The service was lovely and very fast. When the food arrived the portion size was spot on and the as very tasty! The Guinness Even had an Easter image on the head! Thank you Sophie and Danielle 😊. We'll definitely be back x

Great outdoor space with a play area for kids.

Delicious steak specials, incredible sticky toffee pudding. Friendly service - top quality pub, can't recommend enough! Danielle was an excellent waitress for us on the night! Thank you!

Great staff and food. Parking was tricky with a disabled person 😒

Lo disfrutamos tanto aquí que en realidad visitamos dos veces este fin de semana. El jardín de cerveza es precioso y bien cuidado - ideal para aquellos con niños. Amplio aparcamiento. La selección de cerveza es genial (especialmente el Kirkstall ales & Heineken zero on tap). Servicio amable. Volveremos regularmente, estoy seguro.

After a stressful week at work for us both we decided that a nice walk in the evening sun followed by dinner and drinks at our local was much needed. The first glass of wine went down far too easily! We decided on the tapas menu and our only problem was what to choose from the great range of dishes available. We finally selected the Lebanese Lamb Koftas served with feta, pomegranate salad, tzatziki & pitta bread, Chicken Strips roasted with cumin, paprika and honey, Salmon & Basil Fish Cakes with tomato jam and Truffle Parmesan Fries. WOW!! Huge compliments to the kitchen team, everything was absolutely delicious. The koftas were exceptional, really flavourful, the pomegranate salad was refreshing and the feta was moist & crumbly - total perfection. Only one of us managed the Apple & Blackberry Crumble for desert and it wasn’t me! Although I did need to wash it down with a couple more glasses of wine. We were served by lovely Sasha and Dani who looked after us brilliantly as always. If you’ve not eaten at the Myrtle I would highly recommend giving it a try!

Extremely popular and busy pub, especially for families with young children on a sunny afternoon because of play area outside. They do tapas style dishes which we've eaten and enjoyed.

Brilliant pub, accessible on foot from Meanwood Park. Lots of outdoor seating.

A magical evening at 📍Myrtle Tavern, our favorite pub in Leeds! From the cozy vibes to the ever-charming themes, this place never fails to enchant us. 🍺✨ Plus, how cool is it that you can personalize your own photo on a Guinness? We can’t wait to see what incredible theme they bring to life next

Always a good atmosphere. Lovely, friendly staff and the lunch is great too. Good pint of Guinness.

I like the myrtle they do a nice Zinfandel rose but the fella doesn’t rate the draught lager, thinks it tastes funny. Not just a one off either every time we go he comments on how bad the lager is. Shame really.

3 swords beer really good, and fish and chips excellent.

A very proper Sunday roast, plus table service to boot! You need reservations but definitely worth the trip! We enjoyed the Pork roast the most.

Arrived after a 50 minute trail Advertised food outside and in to get told chefs on holiday! Please advertise No food then Also went to pay with cash to be told Don’t accept cash! No signage stating this Around 8 families came in whist we had a quick drink to All be told the same Not good business or customer service

A busy Friday afternoon, great atmosphere. A good selection of lagers and ales, with hot tasty food to soak it up.

Fantastic hidden gem in Leeds! The food was fantastic and we were taken care of by some lovely waitresses. Special thanks to Helen for always checking up on us. There was a wide selection of pints on draught too, with a great mix of (non) alcoholic pints. Would highly recommend.

Took my in laws here from Liverpool and it was spot on

We enjoy every visit. Super friendly staff, amazing food and putstanding decorations. Lots of space, laughs and good music. Shout out to Danielle who is welcoming and friendly!

Absolutely amazing food service and atmosphere. Love going here. Helen and the team do a fabulous job always make you feel welcome 😀😀

Another lovely visit , the food was delicious , and red hot which is how I like it , the service was brilliant , esp from a fairly new waitress called Sophie .. would highly recommend The Myrtle Tavern , shame I live half an hour away or I would go more often

Fabulous service, great food and relaxing atmosphere. Full marks from us and Sophie was very attentive and catered to our every need.

As good as always. Nice beer, good food. New menu very nice, had the stew and is very good. Staff as helpful as ever. Will be going there again.

This place was truly amazing. The food was superb. All the staff was super lovely and happy to help. I will be back for more. Thank you.

A great pub. Lots of action, quizzes, events, food, ever changing range of real ales. The Christmas decorations are sensational

Great local pub in a brilliant location. Good selection of beers and gin served in a warm and friendly atmosphere

An incredibly cozy pub with a new Christmas theme every year, which is incredibly well done. The Sunday dinner was one of the best I have eaten. Recommend this place.

Enjoyed New Year's Eve with family & friends. Great atmosphere, music and fireworks.

Loved this pub! Would recommend anyone going to visit especially during the festive period. They really go all out on the decor.

The Myrtle Tavern is a true gem in Leeds! The Myrtle Tavern in Meanwood is, without a doubt, the best pub in Leeds, and I’m lucky enough to have it within walking distance from my house. Whether you're popping in for a quick drink or enjoying a meal with friends and family, this place never disappoints. First and foremost, the food is always top-notch. I’ve never had a bad meal here—everything is consistently delicious, and the Sunday roasts are an absolute 10/10. It’s my go-to spot for a Sunday lunch with the family, and I always recommend it to others. The menu is diverse, and there’s something for everyone. The pub really shines in both summer and winter. In the warmer months, the beer garden and the lodge are perfect for relaxing with friends, while the winter months are made special by the stunning Christmas decorations that change every year. It's clear the staff put a lot of effort into making the pub feel inviting for every season. Speaking of the staff, they are consistently friendly, professional, and accommodating. I've had to book large tables for family gatherings on several occasions, and the team always goes above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. The Myrtle also stands out for its fantastic events. Rock and roll bingo, hosted by Scott and his team, is a personal favorite—there’s an electric atmosphere, and it’s always a laugh. They really know how to create a fun, lively vibe. In fact, my family and I had the best Boxing Day this year, and a lot of that was thanks to the amazing service and warm hospitality we received from the Myrtle team. All in all, the Myrtle Tavern is a must-visit for anyone in Leeds. Whether you're after great food, a lively event, or just a casual pint, you won't find a better spot. I can't recommend it enough—this place really has it all!

Come for food with a few friends, amazing atmosphere and amazing food and service by all the team. Love the narnia theme going on, will defo be back again! The burger was defo 10/10

Loved our festive visit here last week. The food was incredible. I went for festive tapas (Brie and the ham hock terrine were delicious). The staff were really attentive and friendly. The Christmas decorations were also brilliant! Was my first visit here but it definitely won’t be my last.

Took my friend to the Myrtle Tavern on Wednesday for a pre Christmas lunch. We had a brilliant time, the staff are always friendly and the lunch was AMAZING.

We had a lovely meal on Wednesday evening. We had the tapas options. Great quality and quantity, but not over facing. The decorations were amazing.

We were there for rock n roll bingo. Fabulous night had by all. Not for the faint hearted 🤣. Amazing christmas decorations as always too. Thanks to Scott and his truly awesome team.

After a slightly disappointing breakfast with Santa last year we decided to try again and so glad we did! Absolutely back to top form! The pub looked beautiful. The Santa was lovely as always, visiting each take, reading everyone a story and then a visit for each table with Santa. The helpful elves were on standby to take a photo of the whole family. The food was so much better this year, cereal and fruit for the little ones! Pastries still available too, I had a lovely pain au chocolate and plenty of coffee! Highly recommended! We'll be back next year!

Great traditional pub..! Friendly helpful staff..!! Really nice Christmas feel with all the great decorations 🎅🏽🎄🍺🍺😁👍🏼

Recently had Christmas lunch of roast beef dinner. Beef very tough, stuffing burned ,Yorkshire pud burned black.Veg minimal. Meal Cold by time I got it because it had to Come outside to the outdoor part of the pub. Staff 1 rude member. Rest of staff helpful. Felt sorry for staff Very very busy inside. Beautifully decorated like Narnia theme but had concerns about very busy entrance exit door as lots and lots of people trying to get in ,while others trying to get out with their drinks with Awful difficulty. 1 normal entrance door had been closed off due to extending decor for Narnia theme. IS IT REALLY SAFE?. GOD FORBID THERE WAS A FIRE.It was extremely busy inside pub hardly a space spare. Too crowded . Didn't feel safe. Again amazing Xmas decor but at what risk. Sorry but had to be truthful about my experience this particular time.

It was my first time dining at The Myrtle Tavern, and as a big eater, I was impressed by the portion sizes. I ordered the fish and chips with a side of onion rings and nachos, expecting the usual modest servings. Instead, the portions were so generous that I couldn’t finish everything—I even had to leave some onion rings! The food was excellent, fresh, and full of flavour. We did have a bit of an issue with seating. We originally booked for a table of four but updated it to six the next day. When we arrived, we were given a small table with four chairs and two stools. A staff member told us all the tables and chairs were being used and that there were no spares available. However, not every table seemed to need all their chairs, and my wife was able to ask nearby diners if we could borrow a couple. Despite this small inconvenience, the food and overall experience were great. We’ll likely visit again.

Went for a small Christmas party,5 of us in total,couldn't fault anything,Danielle our host explained the menu with enthusiasm and great humour,just what you want on a night out

Excellent, friendly service in a nice atmosphere. We had lunch with tapas. Which was a bit random with some original fare on offer (not Spanish but in the whole very nice). Smoked salmon, Ham terrine. pork meat balls. pate. thenham teriene was a little salty, but I have given salt for a few months now, so that could just be me. I would definitely, recommend a visit it was lunch midweek and service could not have been better. I will definitely return as overall it was way above what other venues offer. And the toilets were very clean, which is always good.

Gorgeous drinking establishment with a fabulous atmosphere. A hidden gem

Pre dinner I asked for a dry sherry, the waitress had first to check the stock before serving me a sherry which was by no means a dry one. Fish and chips looked far better than they tasted. The chips were soggy and though the batter was crisp the fish was lacking in flavour and dry not succulent . The Christmas decorations were excellent.

Good food but not cheap. Some very good starters/bites. Lots of parking and outdoor seating

Great little pub with very obliging staff. Food, service znd atmosphere very good. Just could do with a bigger bar.

I am so lucky to have this as my local, Scott and the team work so hard and put so much effort in to the many events they offer. We had a fabulous time last night at the pre Christmas event, great food entertainment and service as always 🥰🤩

I had Sunday roast on Sunday. I was very satisfied with the four types of meat, abundant vegetables, crispy meat, and delicious sauce. The atmosphere inside the store is also very nice. I think reservations are required.

Great gravy on the sunday lunch, could do with more beef slices, and a bit more tender perhaps.

Tasty roast dinner, and delicious roast potatoes in particular. Halloween decorations, however, I feel were too much. Ladies bathroom teddy bear graveyard was particularly frightening, too much for young children and just unpleasant for those who don’t like or celebrate Halloween. A decoration free room in pub would have made our visit more pleasant.

The Myrtle Fireworks Night 2024 Well they've done it again!!! I still can't quite believe that my local pub can continue to improve, organise and put on such an amazing fireworks display. Scott and the team never disappoint. To have organised this so well and to have it feel so friendly is a real achievement, but to be honest... We wouldn't expect anything less from this amazing team! We're so proud of what you do in our little community. Thank you.

You'd think you were in the middle of the Yorkshire dales. Amazing selection of locally produced beers, great staff. Leeds's best keep secret. Shhhhh! Don't tell everybody.

Had Sunday lunch with friends and their dog in the lodge. Excellent service and lovely warm atmosphere. It was surprisingly comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Monday afternoon pint, this was my first visit for 30 years. Inside was all decorated ready for Halloween which was really good. Great pub would definitely go back if I was in the area.

Excellent Sunday Lunch - totally recommend the roast and the puddings. Great atmosphere and helped the uni students get over a hangover 😂

Not impressed how they charged one price for drinks then after a couple of drinks they we're changing a pound more for the same drinks didn't realise till I checked my visa the next day, I got vodka diet coke the girly was putting the coke in overfilled it so it over fload so the vodka over spilled when I asked could I have another vodka she said yes but I would have to pay for it not very impressed won't be going again.

Beautiful pub lovely surroundings worth a visit

Great service and lovely food. Just right for a lunchtime. Pub was very quiet so difficult to rate atmosphere.

Lovely food well presented, I lovely staff, lovely garden , would be great for children in the summer will definitely visit again.

We don't normally eat but the Sunday dinner was absolutely lovely. Service was excellent as always by Cameron and danielle x

Without a doubt, the best pub I’ve ever been too. Luckily I live locally, but the food and service is always outstanding. Even friends who come to visit Leeds always ask to go to the Myrtle. It’s never let me down. All the staff are amazing, but Danielle always make you feel welcome and can’t do enough for you.

Excellent Sunday roast with the best trimmings and fantastic customer service from Danielle who is very friendly and provides quick and efficient service.

Very welcoming staff who provide table service. A good selection of real ales, can recommend the Three Swords 👌. Also, a very large beer garden which has won best beer garden in the UK. Just make sure you have a card with you as it's a no cash pub.

Came here to do some work, the service from the staff was great as always Danielle was amazing and dealt with everything we wanted she’s a star

Great atmosphere and lovely staff. Food is delicious, highly recommend this pub.

Great beer great food great location can't wait to go back

Wonderful pub with great food! Excellent service by Danielle! Highly recommend it

Very nice Lord of the Rings feel with all the beautiful foliage 👍🏻

Great place with friendly staff, loved it

Very nice place.highly recommend.

Loved Sunday lunch here! We were sat in the covered outdoor area which was really cosy. Staff were friendly and attentive. The food arrived quickly, was plentiful and delicious!

We have eaten Sunday lunch here numerous times, and always bring friends when they visit. The food is consistently delicious, and there is plenty of it too. Landlord Scott and his team work hard to deliver excellent customer service, and create a really friendly, country pub atmosphere.

Good tasty food, big portions. A bit laddy on the weekend, but nevertheless a nice beer garden here, and we were well looked after in the dining room bit. Car park needs a bit of TLC!!

Nice country style pub, but lacks some local produce be nice to have a few local beers on tap for example.

Came for a Sunday Roast and was very tasty and good portion. Lovely beer garden and a small play area. Staff were all very lovely.

A lovely 1st visit the Myrtle Tavern. We all opted for the Sunday lunch which was warm tasty with lovely Yorkshires, which were definitely not Aunt Besses! The pub itself is also lovely, with a great outside area and childrens playground

Great food and drink, lovely staff and very dog friendly to boot. We really enjoyed our meal there today.

Enough can't be said about Scott & his staff. A great all round experience dining here. Lovely hot food, good selection of Beers & Wine, and well looked after by Daniell who runs front of house. Kirkstall Fish & Chips and Chicken Balti Pie 10 out of 10 for both. Subscribed to Myrtles 'Newsletter' for some great offers - Meal and a drink for £15 on Thursdays in August. Calling in again next week.

No matter what time of day you visit the Myrtle you have the same experience. Greeted by friendly smiling faces from the staff, the Manager and the chef if you just happen upon him on his break. The food is often referred to as pub food, in my opinion it is restaurant worthy and always consistent. I have dined at lunchtime, early evening, midweek and on a weekend and had the same positive experience every time.

A cracking Sunday lunch - tasty, well cooked and plenty of it. Add to this really friendly and efficient staff, and a lovely country pub atmosphere and you have a pretty much perfect Sunday lunch.

Very busy, staff friendly and efficient. Good choice of gin, real ale not quite up to par?!

Wonderful service from Danielle, great Sunday lunch too!!

Went there today for Sunday lunch. The pub is very nice and the food was excellent. As I am vegetarian I had the nut roast which was really good my husband had the roast beef, portions were very large and well worth the money. The staff were really nice and friendly. Will definitely go again.

Wow wow wow-where too start?? We came all the way from Belfast for this beauty of a pub and my gosh it DID NOT disappoint. Served by the nicest wee chap- , responds to “Charlie”. WHAT A DARLIN’. Me myself I went for bangers and mash-what a banger-pardon the pun. The winning and dining to the nines! And what adorable dogs! My friend Aoife remarks” this is the best night of my life” and you know, I’d have to fl*ppin agree!

Great Sunday roast, lovely staff.

A lovely place for friends and family. Dog friendly. A nice stop on the walk through the Meanwood valley. My local(ish) for years.

First time but certainly not the last! The Myrtle Tavern is well worth the hype, thanks to the manager for squeezing our last minute 5 in on the terrace for a roast, the service from the lovely Heather was absolutely outstanding and the food was one of the best Sunday roasts we have enjoyed in a long time.

Excellent food. Quick service. Has a children's play area on site.

One of the best veggie roasts. Often nut roasts can be really dry and disappointing but this one was super flavoursome with loads of fruit and cooked really well. The Yorkshire puddings were massive which goes down well with me. Gravy was a bit thin but everything else was great and the food came unbelievably quickly.

Lovely atmosphere, with delicious food that was served promptly.

Great pub, and an amazing outdoors section. Sad that prices are creeping above a fiver, but that’s inflation for you :(

Amazing pub. So happy it's our local. Always something going on. Great for kids to play out while you have a swift sherbert 😋

Great pub with fab facilities. Very friendly staff and pet dogs are welcome. Did not eat on this occasion but what I saw and have heard about is all wonderful! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
