Saltaire Bar and Eatery in Leeds

All overcooked, eggs and bacon hard.£ 18 !!!! What a disgrace. Toast white.

Awful facilities for passengers. Dirty and very unappealing place to relax before your flight. Huge queues. Expensive. Dirty tables, walls and couldn’t see out of the windows. Smelled of fried chips. LBIA need to up their game BIG time. I know they are building facilities but it has been like this for YEARS. Not good enough considering the prices. Who wants a G&T in a tumbler???

Does a job never any seats , staff do their best but never seems to be enough of them

I was shocked at how I was spoken to by a member of staff called kate after asking a simple and polite request. The worst customer service I've experienced in years.

I ordered a dirty burger and a pint of neck oil. Whilst the burger was tasty enough it was outrageously small for £20. Much smaller that a whopper or a Big Mac. About 1 potato in the chips and a cold plastic tub of weak, probably bisto add to water, gravy. The neck oil was nice but probably because that is made by someone else! Definitely, definitely not worth £27 as a meal. But, unless you want the high street giants, you’re kinda trapped. People ask, why did you move to Spain???? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Burgers were overcooked, dry and tasteless. Chicken and bacon ceaser salad had no dressing, dry chicken and 80% lettuce. Over priced for quality. Unfortunately no time to complain as needed to get to special assistance for boarding.

they are not flexible, would like to eat breakfast and change bacon for eggs, they said no, they charged me extra for eggs breakfast for 1 person over 20 gbp

Food was clap cold when we received it. Having paid such high prices for breakfast, the least you would expect is a warm meal. Couldn’t finish it

Fun start to the holiday. Elizabeth looked after us extremely well.

Jack the manager was excellent. Really friendly and chatty. Set us up for our hols.

Jack is fantastic. Made us feel like we were at home in a pub as a local. Brilliant chat with him and Ben.

Big breakfast was ok. Set us up for the flight ahead of us

For the prices I'd expect the food to better than what I was served. I got sausage and mash and it was the cheapest ingredients possible, including cheap bangers, nasty mash and cold, what looked like tinned peas, all for £17. Over 8 quid for a pint as well. The venue is dirty and tired as well with food waste on the floor and the tables and chairs looking like they've seen better days. Is this what we've come to accept in this country? Being ripped off wherever and whenever possible? What's the excuse for it: a captive market? People want a nice experience when they start a trip or holiday, not this. Only good thing was the speed of service.

Reasonably expensive food for what we got, but it was tasty and we appreciate that we are in an airport so paid a premium. Elizabeth was very friendly and helpful!

Food standard Service very quick Elizabeth was very polite and cheerful Made the atmosphere better

Not gourmet, but decent airport food with friendly staff. Looked after by Elizabeth who made sure my food came quickly.

Good service, good food. Served by Elizabeth

Was served by Elizabeth who provided excellent friendly service, something came out wrong and she was so helpful in correcting this. Would definitely recommend

Fast and tasty food. Great service! Thank you Elizabeth!

Elizabeth great service chips were great portion

Elizabeth did a great job taking care of me.

Bacon roll was very nice, service friendly and quick

Elizabeth was a great service and very helpful and kind

Enjoyed pre holiday lunch and drinks. Served by Elizabeth who was very helpful and friendly.

Came on Saturday, everything was quite expensive as expected in an airport, but Charlie and all the other staff were lovely and gave us a great start to our holiday!

Good heart breakfast delivered very promptly.

Luke the bar manager was fantastic, really made the kids feel welcome.

Every time I go abroad we go to this bar. Best Guinness in the airport by a longshot

Is the best bar at the airport, come every time I come on holiday

I orderd a burger and was the worst burger ever and was almost £20! I send it back and was outrageous! Food in here is to avoid! I don't drink to say about alcohol. I got a full refound but never again in here

Lovely people but there was not aloof of food for what the price was and it was cold. Also the orang juice is from a carton and terrible.

Asher was really nice and friendly

Got the dirty loaded burger and could not eat it. Absolutely disgusting

Food came quickly, but wasn’t very hot, eggs were overcooked, bread a bit tasteless. A bit pricey too

Very friendly staff, Mel in particular and as very helpful.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. The odd Mackem fan amongst them, but you can’t hold that against them, for great food and service and that’s from a Geordie cup winner 😉🤣

Lovely way to get the holiday started!

Great service and friendly staff, just what you need before a flight😊

Had dinner before an evening flight home and properly enjoyed it! Food was very acceptable, service was great and atmosphere was good and relaxed!

Ben & Harvey really went the extra mile with fantastic customer service - really appreciated. The chicken burger was lovely too

Ben served us each time we went to the bar and was very friendly and helpful

There is not much choice at the airport. My vegetarian curry was lovely. My sons chicken burger was fine, nothing special for the price, and didn't have many chips, and no garnish. Generally a Good atmosphere as people are happy to be going on a trip.

Nice breakfast menu but a bit expensive

Expensive even by airport standards. Dirty and broken tables. The ordering app never works, but you’re not told that until the end of the ordering process. However, it’s either this or Burger King so it’s not like there’s a better alternative.

Almost £13 for a coffee and sausage sandwich. Enough said.

The guys were very helpful and chatty. A nice start to my holiday

Popped in for a drink waiting for a flight, bar staff seemed very friendly and were happy to talk as it was reasonably quiet when I went.

Friendly service and good food

Greeted by a very pleasant young man at the bar. He was very friendly and helpful. Service was excellent.

Fast, efficient, tasty and service with a smile.

Good service but far too over priced , which restricted our purchases

Without doubt one of the worst meals I’ve ever experienced. Chicken was almost inedible. Waitress appeared once, threw the food down and we didn’t see her again.

Poor service and very expensive

Typical airport eatery, overpriced, busy and lacking in refinement. On this occasion, I just had a hot drink, but it's not a pleasant experience, more necessity.

Food ok. A bit pricey. No interaction from serving staff when delivering the food order. No one asking if all ok . Not even a glance from the clearing staff. £25.00 for a fish finger sarnie and a drink. First and last time for me. Just my opinion

LBA has a lot of work to do to improve it's standards, Ceaser Salad was a cheap breaded chicken fillet deep fried and plonked on some lettuce with what tasted like leftover bacon from breakfast

Without doubt some of the rudest staff I've ever experienced in hospitality. I had the misfortune of having to order at the bar as the online ordering wouldn't work. Staff members were swearing at each other, speaking to each other like crap, not looking at customers when they were being served, seeming to relish being out of certain items. Just awful. In contrast. The waiting staff were lovely. The food was fine. Go elsewhere if you're at Leeds Bradford!

Had drinks before a flight on a Sunday afternoon, never seen the bar area so empty.

£7.40 a pint and others served before me....

Visited early at around 4am & felt the staff were unfriendly and certainly not enjoying their jobs - food passable but we come here out of necessity rather than choice.

Incredibly average sausage bap and expensive.

The main chef was extremely rude and disrespectful l. He was swearing across the whole restaurant at the wait staff while she was on her break. He was berating and degrading her regarding a order that hadn’t been collected by another member of staff! Humiliating her in front of a full restaurant! This is completely unacceptable and disgraceful!

Full breakfast was stone cold, yet quick. Poor quality sausages and beans. And the tea I ordered never arrived. Poor

Nasty dirty place, dreadful service, food inedible, should be closed down.

Don't expect much in an airport terminal but the service here is shocking. Firstly the app for ordering kept crashing and put two holding debits on my bank. When the food eventually turned up (it wasn't busy) the drinks did not arrive. After waiting 30 minutes for the drinks (no drink with the food) I went to ask the bar. The bar maid could not care less and decided to serve someone else who was hanging around. Eventually drinks turned up but probably would not if had not complained as no one cared.

Allowed me to order a breakfast (at £17). Only then to say I couldn't have it because they stopped serving it 45m earlier. One person on the till so had to wait while others in front were sorted for the same issue. Then won't get a refund for several days but still had to fork out again for another (slightly different) breakfast. Why was it on the menu in the first place if I couldn't have it. Why couldn't you just have cooked the full English instead of the one I ordered. Staff unhelpful. Only one person on bar serving a whole line of other people trying to fix their mistake.

Inability to customise order online led to a less than enjoyable breakfast experience. It's exactly what you don't need after half an hour stood in security lines.

Very expensive beer - £8 is too much

Ordered breakfast which was nice but drinks didn’t arrive ! Had to go and get them ourselves once we had eaten. Not a good service especially as the restaurant was only up to 50% capacity.

Good choice of breakfast and drinks

Comida fría y cara. Fue lo mismo a principios de este año, pero pensé que una segunda oportunidad era lo razonable. Uso regularmente el local Saltaire, que valoro altamente.

Lovely place but very expensive

Like most airports, prices are hugh but quick to order and quick service. Nothing special about a breakfast.

Food not very nice. Small breakfast, good portion but poor quality. Ordered breakfast 8 am ish but clearly most items on the plate had been sat under lights/in bain marie for some time. Poor quality sausage (almost cold), bacon luke warm, beans dried out an hidden under solid an cold fried eggs, cheap hash browns barely warm, etc etc. Slightly grumpy server but then I would be grumpy if I had to run this food out.

I fairly enjoyed eating jere at Leeds Bradford. The service was excellent and the food came really quickly. The staff were all lovely here and willing to help if you were in need. The atmosphere was really loud because Leeds United had just bet Plymouth Argyle. There were men shouting to others and it was a bit crazy.

Nice bar at lba...service is good,but difficult to get a seat...as ignorant people put bags on seats instead of letting people sit down...still worth a visit though

Alway pleasant atmosphere but as expected at certain times very busy & nowhere to sit, same as all airports prices not for the faint hearted, so no dig at Saltaire bar, same every bar & airport bars.

The staff are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. I will definitely be going back next year to have some more of their fantastic food.

Didn't have any food, only 2 Capachino .

I ordered the chicken skewers with rice and coleslaw, but it looked like something a five-year-old threw together and then microwaved. The taste was just as bad as it looked, which is shocking considering the price—£18! Honestly, it felt like daylight robbery. Save your money and grab a sandwich from WHSmith or hit up Burger King instead.

I'm giving 1 star purely for the tea and coffee which was adequate if not extortionately priced. The table was cleared but they didn't clean it and the staff looked as miserable as the food. The food was over priced so we ordered cheesy chips which was a mistake. Disgusting, sloppy, cold, frozen chips mess. Inedible. It came quicker than it took to make the tea. Avoid like the plague!

Good airport service with a quick service and decent food quality

Waiting times and prices horrendous…every time I order online I have to chase the order…

There is limited choice for food at the airport so expect to pay, we had two teas and toast costs around £16 jam etc costs extra, it's an airport so atmosphere is what it 8s.

Ok but not enough seating. Had to stand with our drinks . Service was quick

I don't mean to come over all 'Yorkshire' but £23 for two acceptable cappuccinos and two mediocre bacon rolls is expensive by anyone's standards. It may well be that they are simply passing on the airport charges. Nevertheless for this kind of money I expect something a bit better - but there is not a lot of choice. We were there at 5am and the place was rammed( early October as well, so hardly the height of the season - the airport just doesn't have the infrastructure to support the passenger numbers.

Food was surprisingly good but £40 for two mains a cup of tea and half a lager is eye watering profiteering from a captive market

Hard to get a table. In app ordering was not good. Servers didn’t even speak. Drinks ok but food is not good and is too expensive.

Muy mal servicio. Todo el personal parece que no quiere estar allí. Un montón de personal haciendo muy poco, con solo uno sirviendo a los clientes en el bar, con una cola de clientes y sin apreciación por el tiempo de espera del cliente. Sin contacto visual, sin sonrisas. Aprovechando una audiencia cautiva con precios extremadamente altos y mucho personal que tiene una vida fácil. El personal habla entre ellos mientras los clientes esperan ser atendidos. Emplear a alguien que se preocupa y puede ejecutar un servicio eficiente y eficaz.

Very poor service. All staff look like they don’t want to be there. Lots of staff doing very little, with only one serving customers at the bar, with a customer queue, and no appreciation for customer wait time. No eye contact given, no smiles. Taking advantage of a captive audience with extremely high prices and lots of staff having an easy life. Staff talking amongst themselves whilst customers are waiting to be served. Employ someone that cares and can run an efficient and effective service.

Annual pre flight pints always a pleasure

Ordered poached eggs instead of fried Fried were very nice though You ask for a tip before the food has even come!? What am I tipping for???? It's basically a rip off but you've got a captive audience ......

£57 for fish and chip, a coffee and a coke! That’s should be illegal! How can you live with yourself

Well 21 quid for a cheap burger and and some Iceland flat chip things, I asked for vinegar. They had run out. The tables had not been cleaned, typical captured airport trash food and charge a fortune. This would cost 5 quid at the local pub 1 mile away.

Hugely overpriced mediocre food, I know you pay a premium in the airport but jesus, £67 for something worth, if I was being generous, less that 25 quid. And our order was slightly wrong. STAND AND DELIVER!! Give a tip though because always remember the guys doing the work are not the ones who get the profits.

We ordered breakfast and coffees and asked a waitress to clean the table, which never happened! We had to go, find a bit of blue role and wipe the table. All crockery and cutlery was dirty and greasy, food was overcooked and very chewy. Not a good start of the morning!

The staff were lovely, there was a slight misunderstanding and they gave us a free drink as an apology. Would highly recommend for the great service

Terribly dirty place, cutlery, mugs…when you order a cup of tea for £3.50 you expect it at least to look clean. Food is not tasty. Don’t recommend

Even by airport standards this place is overpriced and food awful. Poached eggs were snotty and under cooked. Mushroom , 1 was cold. Bacon undercooked and maybe boiled vs grilled. I've eaten at Gatwick in the peak times and got better food than this.

Mesa no despejada o limpiada del comedor anterior, tuvimos que quitar la vajilla sucia nosotros mismos. La superficie de la mesa era pegajosa y sucia. La comida fue extremadamente decepcionante. Ensalada lateral con hamburguesa desnuda era una cucharada de col rallada, una rodaja muy pequeña de tomate y una rodaja minúscula de cebolla. Nada más. La hamburguesa de pollo estaba demasiado cocida y seca. Chiis mal cocinado. Porciones muy pequeñas, muy sobreprecio.
