Podger in Leeds

The food is very good and of good quality we enjoy going to the podger.

Lovely pub food and a good pint too! Team were brilliant, will definitely be returning!!

Place needs a good clean. Damp and mould on walls and ceiling. Pepsi was too cyrupy so gas needs turning up. Staff were strange. We were talking and enjoying our conversation in our little damp and mouldy corner, then staff show up and turn the tv on to loose women. Bizzarre. Food (chicken) was incredibly dry and burnt round the edges. My battered mushroom starter was full of grease. Bit into it and hot oil poured out, yuck! Wont be back again im afraid. First impressions were awful.

So helpful with ingredients and my intolerances, thank you, my food was great.

Brilliant atmosphere, quality food and good prices. Excellent staff always welcoming especially our fav Sarah 😀

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. Great place to go.

I have mixed feelings about this place, we have been visiting for years and will no doubt go back. The atmosphere is good, it's in a good location with bus, train, and M1 links. The layout of the building is great. The car park is a good size and has disabled bays. The staff are always lovely and always try to go out of their way for you. The prices are great and the decoration is nice. The food is usually really good, especially for the price. They have a good option choice and a decent kids menu and offers during midweek. The bad bits seem to be lack of care and maintenance. The tables keep being moved around and don't always fit the space very well, sometimes leaving you squashed in or next to a door that staff keep going in and out of. The ceiling in the extension clearly has issues with leaking, and there is damp and mould, which has been there for some time (at least a year) and doesn't seem to be having any repairs. Which isn't nice sitting around mould whilst eating. Also, the ladies' toilet windows are the old metal style, which, to be fair, can be damp in winter, unfortunately its summer and its never been cleaned. They are very mouldy. It wouldn't take much for someone to don some PPE and wipe this over with some mould treatment as this is unhealthy for patrons breathing in the spores. My daughter really enjoyed her burger, and my grandson liked his chicken bites, cheesy chips, and beans. I chose the chicken gyros and skin on fries. I was a bit disappointed as it was clearly misrepresented by the picture. This is the first time I've been disappointed with a meal here. The fries were definitely not skin on. The picture of the gyro showed big chunks of freshly grilled chicken. What turned up was about 6 pieces of small, thin bits of very dried chicken that played peek a boo as they were hard to find. If the repairs and cleaning were done, I'd probably give this a 5 star rating.

This is a very well run establishment. The food is good, plentiful, and reasonably priced. There's a good selection, too. The premises are well appointed and there's plenty of car parking spaces. It's also near bus stops and East Garforth train station. Friendly staff also. Well worth the visit and a return. Easy to book a table.

Came here with my partner and his band as they were booked to play, the staff were fantastic and it was an all round friendly atmosphere with staff and customers, great space for the band and a great reception. Will definitely return for food next time, thank you for being so warm and welcoming 😁

As always great atmosphere clean, friendly staff and amazing food.

Went in with a large group for food and drinks, the staff went out of their way to accomodate us and make us feel welcome! Would highly recommend and will definitely be going back 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Use to come a lot but going to try somewhere else as the new menu is rubish and not worth the money

The only fault here is the seating. I’ve sat on better park benches. Worn out dated furniture even Ryanair wouldn’t want if they ran an estate pub.

The food and service was great my only issue and it is a personal one is I booked a table for two and we were given a table right by the bar so we felt like we were being watched whilst we ate but apart from that it was a lovely meal and will definitely be back.

Decent pub food at reasonable prices varied menu

Great chicken skewers. Friendly staff and quick service

Mark couldnt have been more helpful in making sure our seating for a family celebration of 15 was spot on. A warm welcome when we arrived. The food was served timely, was hot, and everyone enjoyed it. Sarah, who served us, was brilliant, catering for all our needs throughout the day. Thankyou all, we look forward to coming again.

Tetleys like it should be, can't praise the beer highly enough, not that smooth rubbish, the real cask product served how Marks been serving it for I'd guess about 3 decades now, the right way.

Great pub. I had the Gyro and can fully recommend. Thankyou Mark and team.

Always enjoy the Podger been using it over45 years but must state found the Pub to on the cold side

Great atmosphere, great service from very friendly staff. The waiter helped with advice on the menu which was very extensive on choices having placed our oder our starters arrived in around 15/20 minutes piping hot and delicious our main course then arrived which also was nice and hot and because it arrived on a cast iron skillet remained hot throughout. All in all a great experience and would definitely go again

Bit of a disappointment no pizza on the menu

Not had the food but always smells good

We went to the Podger for lunch the food was beautiful and service excellent. The staff are so friendly and will definitely be going back .

Myself and a friend met at the Podger for food and drinks. We were given a warm welcome by the bar staff who helped us choose the best place to sit for our needs. Ordering the food was made easy and and we were given choice on how we wanted our food cooked We were amazed by the quality of the food for the price we paid. All the staff were polite and helpful and I would our visit 5***** and will be going back soon Well done to all the staff and Management at the Podger

Mixed grill smelt and tasted great, my wife enjoyed the salsa chicken meal. Will certainly go again.

First time visiting and won't be my last. The interior was bright and cheerful and the staff friendly and helpful. We were there at the height of the lunch rush yet service was of a timely manner and the food couldn't be faulted. There's plenty of parking, step free access for those needing it and they still do a golden years menu which many others have stopped doing so a definite win win all round. 👍

Very nice pub, with good food at very reasonable prices. The service was excellent 👌 and the staff were very friendly.

Just been for dinner at The Podger to celebrate my dad's birthday. Mum and dad had fish and chips and I had surf and turf. I can really say we weren't disappointed my steak was very tender and tasty. Their fish and chips was so big neither could finish the chips. I only live around the corner and never eaten there before. I definitely will be going again, but this time with my husband.

Love this place! A large group of us were staying at a house nearby and we called the Podger to see if we could get a takeaway for us all. They were SO helpful and friendly, even though they were super busy they made sure all our food was ready for us. Even calling us back to see what sauces we would like to go with our meals. Everything was labelled up for us. They couldn't have been more helpful. The food was excellent! I would totally recommend this pub, they're a great team, this sort of customer service is rare. Superb!

Had a meal on Friday night. The food was great as always. We come every week, with the family. I love the atmosphere here, they are always welcoming. See you next week!

The food was excellent staff friendly and helpful will be going back

Not been in this pub for years, the food were good,staff very friendly. We booked a table as it said dog friendly online so sent an email to be seated where possible with a dog. on arrival we decided to sit outside as it was lovely weather but when the food came we were getting attacked by wasps so took our food to the first table inside (closest to the door) a man came over to tell me dogs are no longer allowed, but was friendly enough and let us finish our meal. I’d checked online before coming and everywhere said this pub were dog friendly but they’d unfortunately forgot to update the website. I’ll definitely return, just without the dog next time😃

Great food, good prices and excellent staff.

An enjoyable lunch with friends but unfortunately was fairly busy so had to wait for the food. However, I would go again as it is excellent value.

Great food at a reasonable price👍👍

It’s a lovely place with good staff just a shame everything I deep fried and caked in grease

Great food and super friendly service .. best pub mixed grill I've had

Great place. Good food, beer and atmosphere 👍

I booked a reservation for my sons birthday. Lovely pub food was delicious, very reasonably priced and excellent service by friendly staff.

Seems to be some confusion about when they're doing food. Website says food until 9, rang to confirm and was told 7.45. We arrived, got drinks and tried to order food before 7.45 only to be told they'd finished. They're not on their own as many pubs are struggling to run reliable food service. Other than that it's a good pub.

The staff were friendly. We had a lovely meal deal , 2 meals £10 wide choice available within the deal and on the menu. was clean and fresh . Would recommend.

Visited last week for a meal. The staff were friendly and really helpful, they dealt with an allergy they best of anywhere we've eaten. The food was excellent both in quality and value for money. We will definitely be recommending and return.

Good quality food and reasonable size, not over sized portions

Fantastic, friendly local pub. Great staff.

Called on off chance with the pooch on Sunday 30th October. Staff were really friendly and Helpful. Ordered the chicken kebabs and grilled sizzler chicken. Both meals were excellent 😋 chicken so tender and tasty and the homemade chips 🍟 delicious x

Good pub Good atmosphere nice food.

Excellent proper pub , beer is spot-on , food is superb, all the staff are brilliant, they always give first class service, they always make you feel very welcome, best pub in garforth

Not been in here for many years tried the mixed grill which came on a sizzling plate and was well worth the money, bye bye wetherspoons from now on.

Great pub, great staff and food is very good. Visited this afternoon, will definitely visit again.

The food was good and xcellent value for money! Could do with redecorating otherwise would have 5 stars!!

Great little pub. Good food at good prices. Only thing I could fault is TV on very loud in dining area

Brilliant Pub, lovely friendly staff & the food is great value for money. Also a great local for a few drinks. I also have recently had an event here & they where amazing throughout the event.

Food is very tasty, staff are always polite and helpful, great service and nice atmosphere.

Busy with kiddies - 45 min wait for food but we'll worth it

Good reasonably priced food and drink, excellent service.

Great choice of beers and reasonably price

Fantastic pub, great food and really nice staff

Nice setting and friendly service but the music's a bit loud to just sit and drink quietly.

Great service and excellent customer service

Lovely food, fab service, reasonable prices, couldnt fault our experience 🙌

Food good, long wait even though not too busy! One if was given a chilli that was so small they brought out a second one due to it been so small? Should never have brought it out and made sure it was correct portion before serving it! It was obvious it wasn't right! But they did make it right in the end, other food was good, but was quite a wait after ordering, other than that was OK for sure we will go again!

Well managed, good value for money and a pleasant atmosphere.

Nice Food at Nice prices, need to clean the glasses though

A great pub lively and lots of fun
