Old Brickworks Brewers Fayre in Leeds

Permanently closed from July 5th 2024.

Was but food wasn't the best when I visited

Visited Monday 17th June in a party of 7. Fantastic service from the man (sorry, I didn't see his name), food came quickly and was hot and delicious. Reasonably priced too. Children's menu was just £5.99 for 3 courses and they could have rump steak for main. One of the children with us had the steak which was perfectly cooked. Thank you.

Looks like it is closing for good, like a lot of Brewers Fayre pubs. Hardly anyone there and food not particularly good. It's a shame as the staff are all nice and friendly

Extremely busy day but Mark helped as much as he possibly could and was a lovely member of staff. Thank you

Indifferent service, staff seemed to be more interested in being behind the bar.

What a lovely place propa happy friendly staff no plastic smiles family oriented try it you'll love it 100%

Stopped for breakfast as was 8n the area, walked in at 10.15am and was greeted by perplexed looks, asked if they were open for breakfast and told we actually finish in 15mins. Didn't feel welcome so just used the toilet and left as didn't want to pay for a poor breakfast experience at the end of service. Wasn't a very good welcome as a new customer! So decided to eat elsewhere.

Would highly recommend people to stay away from this place, Went here today ( Sunday ) Upon arrival was faced with a notice saying “Due to staff shortages we are closing at 4pm with last food orders at 3pm!! Which was an awful experience as it was my mums birthday with us already been £15 down in taxi fares and a further £10 to take us elsewhere which we was then £25 down in taxi fares we then gave up all hope after also visiting the other Brewers Fayre at Chain bar roundabout prior to here and we took our business elsewhere. We then ended up at Toby Carvery on Rooley lane which was Absolutely fantastic, the best roast I’ve ever had and all of the staff were lovely, Warm welcoming on arrival. Nice to know where Brewers Fayre’s customer satisfaction/loyalty lies or is at…. Could have at least had the decency to advertise that they would be closed or closing early but no absolutely nothing.

A really nice lunch, lovely surroundings and very attentive staff.

Nice enough, food was good. Went for lunch. Staff friendly. Children's play area, more suitable for under 5's though.

Can anyone tell me why the brickworks is closing the bar and food area making all the staff redundant.They say that there are going to be more hotel rooms but the rooms they have are never full so the only way to fill these extra rooms is by the Government to fill them full of legal immigrants don't ever think this won't happen because they did it to the hotel in tong village oh and by the way they are paid double the amount for the rooms so well done Whitbread's hope you give a thought for the staff you have put out of work when your counting your profits.

Nice little place to have a meal then go

What's better than friends and food. We had no complaints, we would visit again.

Very quiet when we arrived just a quick meal then continuing on a long journey. But Brewers Fayre lived up to it's usual standards with dirty menus, dirty cutlery and sticky table. Meal was gammon, egg and chips and chicken and ham pie, no peas or grilled tomato so might have expected a few more chips...but no. The pie was OK but what cheese? I don't expect much from a Brewers and that's exactly what we got🫥

Delicious food with a relaxing cosy feel. Play area for the little ones too. Extremely tasty carvery.

Short of staff. Gone down with this

Noisy bar closed early Friday and Saturday night not as good as the Elland Road hotel

Rube staff, food was boring and microwaved. Wouldn't waste your money here

Food was lovely, service was good although there was worker that was very lovely. My brother is disabled and he has a tray, however, usually workers usually look around and see where to put his dinner when there is a tray in front of him, but, a woman called Lucy who works at the Old brickworks today, Monday 6th May, put it straight on his tray and it may seem very small however it's very big for him as he has not had this experience before. Thank you Lucy, you deserve a lot of praise.

We regularly visit this restaurant, and our young enjoy the soft play. The food is good and the service provided equally the same management is very friendly. Would recommend

Yet again Pushpa amazing member of staff very helpful always cheery outstanding member of the team 😃😃😃

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish nice food and the icing on the cake was the balloons that Pete made for the kids will be back soon

Had a great night. Food was amazing. Staff were warm and friendly. The place is inviting. Had a fabulous time x

We are staying at the Premier Inn and had an evening meal. The food was excellent and not rushed. Pete was very helpful and friendly. Thank you

Never disappointed. Good food at a good price. Staff friendly (Pushpa is a gem) and service swift. Surprised by some reviews. As with all establishments you get good days and bad days. We must get the good ones.

Pushpin is always helpful,pleasant and cheerful

Just an other nice place for a beer or two 😊

Nice breakfast. Staff were very busy keeping up with the demand for food. Would definitely visit again.

Pushover is always helpful and friendly. Foods is always good

Pushpa behind the bar went above and beyond to attend to our needs

There is not enough staff at the bar. Food OK. Very slow service. Staff were very rude when I asked for another glass of water as when she originally bought it over, she had her hand over glass putting her hand germs in. They should be using trays, not hands, when serving it was the same when food came to the table.

Go to place for lunch time food excellent service and food special mention to Pushpa friendly and very helpful

Nice friendly atmosphere very helpful staff .food was yummy . Nice play area for kids to play

8of us last minute for breakfast fantastic food 3 of the 8are chefs and the waitress kath what a star exceptional service and cheered us all up after the funeral thanks again kath

Hadn't been here for quite a while but will be back soon.

Food very good for price. Staff excellent

Great for breakfasts with lots of choice and the kids eat free

Really enjoyed it. Great food and great experience

Decent pud soft play great gor the little ones very good service and food was spot on.

Can't really say. Only went for a drink.

One of our favourite unplanned teatime places. Friendly, helpful staff and nice menu with decent portions. Suitable for all ages but I suggest if bringing children sitting in the restaurant as the bar conversations can become a bit leery and unmanaged :(

Well we stayed in the premier Inn for 2 nights and ate in the brewers fayre next door, the food was cooked to perfection nothing was a problem to make our meal and visit satisfying big thanks to Paul and the staff worth the visit

Good experience when play area was closed quiet Saturday night

As a family, we used to come pretty regularly to this Brewers Fayre, but haven't been in a while since I moved to the other side of Leeds. It's really gone downhill since I was last there. Vastly understaffed, almost 15min wait to queue at the till to order food due to staffing, drinks station covered in spillages, used tea bags, sugar packets, coffee machine warned it needed cleaning the whole time, weekday buffet deal still on the menu, but not actually running, 30min wait for any food to come out... The portions were also drastically smaller than previous visits, and though everything tasted good, we were all left hungry after mains, sides, and a dessert each. I'm sorry to say, I won't be back in a hurry.

Superb Sunday carvery breakfast. It'd becoming a habit visiting here on a Sunday 😆

Good friendly service and the food was very good too.

Waited 20 minutes at the door to be seated and nobody acknowledged us! Walked out in the end to eat elsewhere.

Ruined Christmas day and dinner. Billy or whatever his name was kept touching people like kissing, hugging, touching their hands, coming up behind them and putting his arms round them etc. He was also seen drinking glasses of wine while on shift. Food was really bad. No starters after 45 minutes, missing starters, wrong starters, carvery was really bad. Paid extra for things that were on the carvery anyway. Staff no help and didn’t care. Staff didn’t even care about ‘billy’ who was drinking and touching people even though people were complaining about it. Not professional at all. First time all family were together for Christmas dinner so thought we would eat here and it was a mistake. I used to visit nearly every weekend and will never go back after Christmas Day.

A late afternoon visit, courtesy of my son and his family. It had clearly been a good day for the venue as the Carvery was sold out. We therefore contented ourselves with choices from the house menu. There were plenty of friendly staff on, so we were attended to quite promptly. My choice was Gammon with the usual trimmings. There was a bit of a wait as it was prepared and delivered to the table. Yes, it was reasonably well presented and portion wise suited my ageing appetite. The only drawback to the meal is that it was warm rather than hot. Probably due to the delay trying to get everyones meal together at the same time. It was very tasty, and if it had been hotter, it would have been even more enjoyable. My experience was echoed by my son and his wife. The grandkids seemed to enjoy their meals with no complaints. The temperature of the meal was a bit of a downer for me. However, it was not so bad as to make a formal complaint and hasn't put me of revisiting. Another day, who knows, It could be so different.

This place used to be better Rubbish selection on breakfast buffet

Ok for kids parties, food was horrible below standard for sure but will never go again, even if it was free

Our Local For A Pub Meal, The Staff Are Always So Helpful And Polite Specially The Young Lad Behind The Bar Recommend This Place Good Value And Good Food

Fantastic customer service from our server Sammy and our waiter Matt. Both couldn't do enough to help assist us. The food was served fresh and hot too. My 2 daughters are allergic to eggs so they took great care in ensuring the kitchen was cleaned down. Much appreciated! Thank you very kindly, will deffo be coming again!

Over 30 minute wait for meals which were just burgers , lasagna and kids meal. No staff came to check back on our table once food had arrived which is poor customer service. The man working the till failed to let us know they had run out of chilli con carne which was supposed to come with our burger , we only knew this because the table next to us received there food before we did and had complained about this. Never have I seen peppercorn sauce be served in the smallest egg cup???? I wouldn’t mind about a wait time if the place was busy I’d understand but the place was rather empty and this particular time. Just a poor experience to say this place is more expensive than heathfield and other pub/carveries.

Friendly staff, great pub, standard food quality.

Staff were nice, service was fairly efficient, the place was clean and spacious. Loved the bottomless coffee. Downside the carvery looked terrible all the veg was dried out, just didn't look appetising. I had the stacked burger instead, it was ok but not amazing.

Not my kind of place. Very limited menu. No real beer and we had very poor service. Maybe just a bad day and as I said not my kind of place.

Came for dinner, spent £80 on 4 of us to eat and the food was rubbish and tasted bland and like it was reheated. Tiny portions and not good at all. Kept missing toppings off of the foods too. We had to send 2 meals back because only half of the advertised things were on the plates. Server stood there while we ate waiting for us to finish our starters with plates in his hands which also made us feel rushed. To top it off on a busy Friday they decided to close the play area to clean it!! Surely they would of chose a Monday or something to do that on where it’s not as busy. Used to rate it highly here but not worth it. Added photo is a dessert that was £5.29. Advertised as having raspberries on it but apparently they are them tiny flakes on top. Only one mouthful taken from this. Pure sugar no taste.

Quite possible the worst meal I’ve ever had (3of us) in my 40 years on this planet…. I ordered a mix grill and saying it was as dry as the Sahara would be doing the Sahara desert an injustice! I’ve taken it home for my two dogs and dunno if they’ll even be able to eat it!!!! Spare ribs and chicken for my partner…. Just as bad. Chips burnt, 50 mins wait for like I say quite possibly the worst meal I’ve ever had. Only positive I can give is the guy on the bar/till was friendly and attentive. Wouldn’t be back if they paid me to come back. £40 wasted.

They have changed the menu & there's not as much choice , took a very long time to get served and it wasn't even busy

Absolute shambles service. Booked in advance for a birthday and specifically asked for tables together to accommodate our party of nine, away from the children's party seating and toilets. Get there to find the tables we had requested had been given to other patrons. Upon asking staff we were told yes it clearly says on their system these tables were reserved to us but a member of staff had seated others there anyway and the only place they could seat us was in the children's party area. We took our custom elsewhere.

Terrible slow service let's this place down. Used to be a decent place a few years back

Chips and beans were fine, the rest wasn't unfortunately!

Lovely breakfast and the staff were excellent.

Food was terrible, fair enough it was Christmas time but there is no excuse for everything to be microwaved, literally everything, the black putting was sogggy and floppy, eggs were snotty, sausages were either shriveled or just looked boiled, the beans were nice, hash browns were soggy, we asked if everything was microwaved and the server looked down and said sheepily yes it is and walked off, her body language said it all to how embarrassing that moment was for her, defiantly not coming again, they was good with my son though and service was good just the food was terrible

Enjoyed a dinner & dance with the Yorkshire (carriage) Driving Club at the nearby Manor House Golf Club. Spent the night in the Premier Inn and had breakfast in the BF next door in the morning. All you can eat hot breakfast; spoilt for choice for under a tenner. Croissants, toast, rolls, buns, crumpets, etc, and continental fare to. You would struggle to find nowt to eat or drink.

The staff were rude.the food was disgusting and they had no staff so you was waiting ages for your food.this place has really gone down hill

Staff really good, let down by meh food. Poorly laid out menu. Cold plates food served on. Was invited to dine by being sent email.

Absolutely terrible. Over 2 hours to get 4 meals. Manager is rude and useless. The place was dead anyway. I have non idea how this place is still in business. We came here as the one closer to us was terrible and this is just as bad. Avoid at all costs

Had a great Xmas day meal, everything just right

It's gone downhill allover the place won't be back

We took all the family for Christmas Day. We were pleased with the service. Staff were pleasant and efficient, nothing too much trouble; very attentive. We enjoyed the food; the main course carvery servings were generous. The starters and desserts were lovely. A good effort from our local eatery, and we are pleased to have supported them. The experience has been good value- for- money. No complaints at all, and a big thank you to all the staff; we thoroughly enjoyed it. We will go there in future for our Christmas Day meal! (party of 11)

Good reception can't do enough for you

Food in restaurants served quickly

Dreadful. Dirty , poor management, would not serve us breakfast. Called for drinks the previous evening, and had to move previous customers mess to be able to use the table. A disgrace to the brand

Friendly service Delicious food

Having booked a 90th Birthday party some 3 weeks previously, upon arrival, the building temperature was cold, there wasn't that many people in the place. The food was poor ie the plates were cold for the main meal, most of the veg was luke warm. The establishment messed up the order, missing out one order completely. The hot deserts were again served on cold plates. One saving grace was the the profiteroles were nice "cold desert, ice cold plate" but they did go overboard on the chocolate sauce. We don't mind paying for service where service warrants it, but to be let down so badly was an understatement. Usually the Brickworks has a pleasant atmosphere and a friendly atmosphere. I think the young manager was too young and out of his depth.

Food isn't as good as the staff experience which was fantastic great staff

Food was cold and the place was freezing won't be going again

Service slow and food not particularly hot.

Had a lovely meal with family. Staff were friendly and service was good. It was very reasonably priced. Plenty of parking

Basic menu but you get what you oay for

1st time here and glad I drove from the other side of the city. The best steak I have had in years..Alistair the chef is a star 🌟 Cooked exactly how I like it (medium). Pink in the middle and like eating soft venison. Will definitely be back.

Setting is very quaint and atmospheric with the Christmas decorations however very cold due to an issue with the heating? The food itself was rather bland and felt like it was either rushed/reheated/microwaved and for the cost better options available. This is the same for both breakfast and main meals with one waitress helping in the restaurant not knowing what an ingredient in one of my meals were. Service is appalling slow, 3 nights in a row I waited over 1 1/2 hours as a single dinner for 2 courses. Each night being told they were short staffed. One member of staff very poor attitude, very blunt and condescending in tone one night a trainee even told them to smile! Won’t use a brewers fayre again after the experience of using this for 5 nights in a row

It's just so busy for breakfast you can't get in for all people near toast station and food station

Very nice people nice food will go agian

Ok won't be back in a rush Ok for the kids complained getting to see manager she given free deserts to make up for bad food they gone down badly since last time was here desert was better than main meal

Disgusting food and used napkins under tables, dirty. I asked for 2 small roasts dinners when I checked the recipe £11.50 each when I question this the very stroppy young woman said we only sell standard and large, not true I told we had 2 small at daleswsy last week she ignored me, the beef was like boot leather potatoes rock hard and empty obviously been out too long carrots had a white film on them, yuk, parsnips not cooked Gravy literally coloured water we ate less than 10% it was disgusting i now know why they only sell larger portions to get rid of the extremely poor quality food! We reported it but again ignored I wrote to Whitbread again ignored, Avoid!!!

Absolutely perfect place to dine and the Premier Inn here is a great place to stay! The guys at the brewers fayre were exceptional! Really went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The Premier Inn staff were also the same, Gabriella, the receptionist, such a wonderful girl who was pleasant and kind, what a credit she is to this company! Deserves the very best! Amazing!

had a lovely breakfast.... pushpa was very help-full with my children

Really no attention from any staff, even the simple courtesies, more concerned with talking among themselves about their shifts. Restaurant could be really quite nice with a quirky layout but looks and feels tired. Meal wasn’t very well presented, thrown in the plate which confirmed the lack of attention with chips, egg and peas just about tepid - replacement chips at request.

Food was ok, but the steak in the mixed grill was pretty tough. Kids desserts didn't arrive until we followed up and asked again, but still took a while to come out. The place wasn't overly busy, but there was just one woman seeming to do 90% of the front of house work whilst her colleagues were off for a smoke.

Cold in the restaurant no heating on.

Reasonable prices, good service good food.

First time visiting and the last. Only one staff member serving at the bar and the place was busy, other staff members just stood around talking. Finally ordered food and when the food arrived it was thrown together and did not look presentable and the quality was poor. I was asked if i required any condiments and I asked for some which never arrived. I then ordered deserts and when the deserts arrived the waiter was trying to put them on the table without clearing the plates from the main course. I has to ask him to clear the plates away. Surely you clear the table before bringing more food. Also lots of small children running around the pub unsupervised by any adults. I think the management need to sort this place out looks like it's in need of some leadership.

Very standard Brewers Fayre - was staying at Premier Inn next door. Don't think they had enough staff as had to wait over 20 mins to order food. All staff polite and food was what you would expect from a big chain place.

Thank you Puspa for making my stay an enjoyable experience see you again in the near future..

Food was absolutely disgusting waited over 10 minutes to be seated staff was very rude how they spoke to us. Only 1 meat left for carvery gravy like water wouldn't recommend this place

Service Have to start by saying the girl with dark hair, slim build and a larger nose (sorry no name) was absolutely horrendous at her job and I just hope to god it was a bad day. Not a si gle smile, no greeting or enjoy your meal just said what it was and passed it over also what is it with servers putting hot food right infront of small children?! The lady Service the carvery was very lovely though so a star for that! Food We have been a few times now and food is always just nice. Trio of pies nice, burgers, nice carvery nice but we did go at half 5 so the carvery was finishing so to be very honest it was nice but I bet it would have been so good fresh! I was poorly after but iv put that down to the roasties having alot of oil. Atmosphere It was very quiet for a Sunday so notch of an atmosphere but it was nice to have a quiet meal. Usually there's alot more people and it can be manic but great for kids because of the play area. From my experience, if you want an average meal go here.
