Outstanding food and service, can’t wait to go back 😋

Our party of four had a fabulous meal with impeccable service in a lovely dining room. Every part of the meal was divine, and the staff were prompt, courteous and attentive. Each course was sublime -- starters, wine, mains, desserts and brandy. Easily our best meal in the UK, and we had some fine dinners this week in London before driving to Leeds today. Absolutely worth every penny.

This place reminds me of the house in the film the holiday, is so cosy and beautiful. The food is some of the best Iv ever eaten. The staff are attentive, and so friendly. It’s an absolute must try. You truly will not be disappointed. The wine selection is also amazing. I wish I could give 10 stars ⭐️

Went in yesterday with the kids, “can I have two fish and chips and one jumbo sausage on its own, the kids can share the chips “ …… came home with one fish and chips and two sausage and chips …And because of how stressed out the Irish lad is behind the counter I’d be two afraid to go back in case he blame me for cooking the wrong order. Also the batter was barely cooked, it was just a mess…… for such a famous place they don’t half struggle at lunch times it seems…..also just because this is the second time I’ve been served by the lad, I’ve never felt so guilty as when I walk into the shop and he’s serving, like I’m putting the man out by ordering food, there’s no smile, no welcome, no pleasantries, it’s an uncomfortable place to get food … and it’s a shame as I live round the corner and would rather and do drive up to the fish shop at upper Headingley rather than here….

I was visiting my son at Leeds university and came here for a family lunch, upon entering the restaurant we received a very frosty and disdainful welcome, I can only assume that he the restaurant manager. Such a shame because the wonderful food and menu was ruined by this man’s lack of general and basic courtesy. It was my daughters suggestion to leave because of this mans attitude and unfortunately, I was in full agreement of her. Shame the experience was ruined by one man’s lack of manners.

I had some friends visiting from abroad and they wanted to sample a good British Fish and Chips. So I naturally thought about taking them to Bretts, since I've been coming for over 13 years. Normally I just use the take away from the side, but this time I thought I'd take them to the restaurant. I wish I didn't now. As soon as we walked though the door, I felt very uncomfortable. The gentleman (who I can only assume is the manager) obviously didn't want us to be there. We felt very rushed, I mean you could call it 'efficient' but we were served so fast we didn't a chance to settle down first. Everytime I said thank you that he did something, like taken the plates, not even a 'no problem' or 'your welcome' or a 'thank you back'. I've never felt such distain from someone serving us. The food was still however excellent, and despite the service, my friends said "it was the best fish and chips they ever had and now they are spoilt and would be able to enjoy fish and chips anywhere else. What really confirmed that it was just us that he didn't like, was when another couple came in shirt and tied, he was more entertaining and even laughed. Even the girls serving us were better mannered than he was. I'm really sorry Bretts that you have such a person working for you. I'm both dissapointed of the service and embarrassed that I took my friends. I'm sure if he was to read this he would be delighted to hear that i will not be taking myself or any of my friends to the restaurants in the future. To any one wanting to go. I would recommend using the takeaway part around the side.

First thing that needs mentioning is that this restaurant has recently changed hands and has a completely new menu and management in place. But don't let that put you off. The food was truly outstanding. We were made to feel so welcomed and was treated like Queens (Corny, I know but so true) We will definitely be back.

Charlie Bretts has most definitely changed for the better. The dated, shabby interior has been replaced by a vibrant, welcoming and well-designed dining area. Their trademark fish & chips are still on the menu, but there is so much more to choose from now - something for everyone. The location is also brilliant - I strongly recommend taking advantage of the garden on a warm Summers day!

Best fish and chips in Leeds. Ignore others comments comparing with the local take outs - ridiculous! Old fashioned Yorkshire fish & chips at its best.

If I could give zero stars for a rating I would but then my review wouldn't appear. The take away side is convenient in Headingly when out late but to be fair you might as well make the walk to anyone of the billion other take away places that aren't that far away in hyde park or even closer the ones down the road by the spar, which are open later and most offer more choice. Anywhere else is also more affordable and a lil bit more value for money. Eg meal deals for one. The restaurant side isn't anything to shout about as well. Very dark, nothing interesting and has about as much atmosphere as a funeral (and considering the age of some of the patrons it looks like a funeral could happen sooner than you think with some of them). I also used to pop in on a mate that had the misfortune to work there once as well. The owner (some irish lady is the only distinguishing thing I can remember about her) treats her staff like something she's scrapped of her shoe so it's understandable why many of the employees don't have a grin on their face or add much to the atmosphere. Plus to top it all of after hearing a few stories about the amount of rats around the back and the owner of the building turning up drunk at night demanding chips and making a state of the place. It's kind of left me not to keen on getting food there unless I'm bordering on starvation. Even then I'd probably hesitate.

A charming breakfast spot that’s become our local favorite! The place is always spotless, the staff are welcoming, and the food consistently impresses. The breakfast is cooked on the grill, so it's light and free from excess oils – highly recommended! Plus, the prices are very reasonable. Perfect for a regular breakfast stop.
