Incredible venue with friendly and welcoming staff and beautiful ambiance, We were lucky enough to have Lauryn wait on us and she was amazing. I don’t think the girl stopped smiling all evening. The food was so fine that we just could not resist dessert - regardless of our bulging belts! A fully boss-level place to spend quality time with quality people. Very highly recommended!

Went on a Friday evening for a birthday meal. Read lots of reviews which were consistently good. Food and service were both very good (although one guest had venison and thought for the price it was a tiny portion). I would say the let down was the lack of atmosphere, there were four of us so that was ok but just thought it lacks a bit of a buzz. Would try Sunday Lunch on next visit as feel it may be more a daytime venue.

Delicious, innovative food in attractive surroundings. Spoilt for choice by the options on the lunch menu which is very reasonably priced. Exceptionally inventive cocktail menu too. Staff were super welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended. Tempted to come back one evening to try their tasting menu.

Beautiful food - it could have been Michelin star. The staff were lovely - the interior was nice but the outside was scruffy and uncleared tables and the outdoors lights had filthy lightbulbs. I appreciate this may sound like a snobby review but it just felt like a shame and a disservice to for the quality and standard of the food - the restaurant itself didn’t match the service and dining experience ce and my grand designs mind found the lack of attention to detail to the building frustrating. Excellent loos, adored the brickwork of the building - stellar cocktails and impressive veggie options. Great afternoon!

The homemade bread and butter was incredibly light and the roast itself was delicious. Very good service as well that took into account of special assistance. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Very chilled ambiance at shears. I was suprised by the lunch menu cost 2 courses for £20 or 3 courses for £25. At that price (let's be honest was in this day and age a steal, but I was dubious). I was indeed wrong. The quality and presentation of the food was divine. We decided on trying the bread, the butter that day was mixed with timothy taylor beer. Not to my taste, but the forcaccia bread...oh my the bread. The crust was definately to my taste if you lean on the salty side of cuisine it was worth the price! The fish tasted fresh and delicate. My lamb was cooked perfectly. The kimchi potatoes were drier than expected...however, I l2t it go after the chocolate brownie. I shared this with my husband. It was rich with flavour from tart cherries to the silky ganache. I forget our waiters name, but he was chipper and friendly. Gave his opinion on some the dishes which was useful. Was definately a warm welcome coming through the door. I would love to come back for an evening meal.

Visited on 23rd June.. first time, such a lovely relaxed restaurant with efficient friendly service and great music. Our starters were delicious but we weren’t enthused by the beef roast. Plenty of veg and meat, but no wow this is amazing moments, we thought the Beef was over cooked and because it was smothered in gravy it didn’t have any flavour, the roasties were barely roasted, more like a new potato and the flavours generally the same, the Yorkshire’s were spot on. We would visit Shears Yard again but not on a Sunday.

The sun was shining and what should have been a glorious lunch today was marred by the diabolical and racist service I received from two surly waitresses, who took exception to my presence. It was obvious to my white friends that I was being treated differently. I was consistently ignored, brought the wrong items, and looked at with distain when I pointed out an error with the drink I ordered. When I shared my experience with the manager he condoned his waitresses behaviour. It was staggering and hard to believe that he couldn’t see the difference in service, argued at length with me and placed the BLAME on Me for how I was treated! He only gave a pitiful and less than sincere apology after a white friend intervened and highlighted what she witnessed. At Shears Yard, the adage ‘the customer is always right’, clearly only applies if you’re white! Shears Yard is a blot on the multicultural landscape the city of Leeds prides itself on. Needless to say I will not dine there ever again!

Visited last night to try out the tasting menu. The place itself is lovely inside, really nice atmosphere and music. We ordered the tasting menu with the wine pairing, which was matched beautifully. We really enjoyed the food itself. However, we felt so rushed between courses. We weren't given enough time to finish our drink before our next drink and course was being given to us. I had to ask to have a break between courses because we hadn't been given one. We felt the waiting staff weren’t interested in providing an experience and didn’t give us any extra information about the tasting menu itself. It was a shame considering how much we paid for the experience. Unfortunately, I don't think I would visit again as the customer service spoiled the whole experience.

Our overall experience on the night was fair to good - the food was a bit patchy but well presented and the staff were all friendly enough in a nice setting. 24 hours later however, all five of our party had some level of food poisoning ranging from sore belly and fatigue to violent vomiting and diarrhoea. I contacted the restaurant to let them know and was pretty much told that they were sorry we were all suffering but that they accepted no responsibility, showing a disappointingly low level of accountability and customer care.

We were gifted a voucher for a tasting menu with drinks and visited Shears Yard this week. After a warm welcome, the menu and drinks were explained to us. Courses arrived in a leisurely manner. Each course - bread, soup, starter, fish, main, pudding - was delicious. Each course had innovative additions and flavour combinations that worked brilliantly. Each course was generously portioned (in comparison to other tasting menus we have had) and very well presented. We had a great meal in very pleasant surroundings.

We were served oysters on a bed of uncooked rice which seemed bizarre. The food seemed to lack flavour in all dishes. I had the miso seitan and it was so dry and under seasoned. The food came at such a pace that it was like we were being rushed in and out. The waitress was wildly uninterested in serving or asking how the food was. It’s such a shame as the venue is lovely and has some real potential but it isn’t executed well at all.

Awkward review. We have visited several times recently and been very impressed with everything. Today however, was a different story. All our starters were first class. Two of us chose the beef which is a £10 supplement to the limited fixed price menu. Mine was too fatty. Then we asked if there were veges and added £5 for greens and £5 for fries (delicious). Wine was £10 a glass. It all adds up and the £25 per head was long gone. Service was perfect from the first guy guy but second server threw the dessert plates onto the table which was wrong. I think a menu that states 2 courses £20, 3 for £25 should not have supplements and service should be pleasant. Shame really. Time for a change.

It’s hard to find a really good Sunday lunch sometimes when you are looking at new towns and cites. My grandson found this little gem for us to go out for a little meal when we visited him at his uni digs. And wow it did not fail to please. We had a starter of seared smoked salmon and then a beef or pork Sunday lunch each and they were delicious. The staff were just amazing also. The star of the day the bread and butter well we had never tasted such superb bread with butter. Its most certainly baked on prem and what a baker who makes it. You could live off it and i have added it to my to ten list of favourite foods now. I cant recall the exact details but it was black garlic with grape and a few other ingredients between the butter and bread i felt like Oliver and wanted to shout please sir could i have some more.

I used to really like it here but it’s gone down hill recently. They used to do a decent vegetarian tasting menu but they seem to have been trying reduce the vegetarian offering recently, with the last two special events not having any vegetarian options (which I would have booked if they did). I checked the normal tasting menu with the intention of booking a table, but they have changed the main course to the standard boring vegetarian mushroom offering which is just rubbish in comparison to the meat options. I also had a bad experience with their service during the last NYE event, where they forgot us and made us wait 45 minutes between courses. Sadly I would no longer recommend them and I suggest they improve their offering on various fronts!

I think I would've given it more stars had I known what sort of restaurant I was going to, as I didn't realise it was quite so fancy! The food is on the expensive side but very good, however, the waitress failed to mention you'll most definitely need sides as the portions are small - our group left still feeling hungry unfortunately. The other downside was that given its location and possibly the time we ate, there was very few tables occupied so felt a little devoid of atmosphere without any background noise. My conclusion is that I think Shears Yard is a good place for food on special occasions, but if like me you're looking for standard fare at a standard price, this isn't for you.

Booked for a table of 4- me, my girlfriend and my dad and mother in law. Really nice setting. Decent drinks menu and the drink quality is really good. Got the tasting menu; underwhelmed. The First course salmon was really good, but but that’s as far as it goes. Everything else was just…average. I think the most disappointing thing was being thrown plates on the table by staff (with no explanation what it was) by a couple of staff. Paid the service charge because I don’t mind to, but SHEARS YARD, what separates you between your standard is your food, and most importantly , your staff.

For ages I've wanted to try here after hearing good things about the Sunday Lunch, and it absolutely didn't disappoint. With most of the menu available gluten free, I was spoilt for choice. The roast pork and roast beef were well cooked, with generous slices dished up alongside nice crunchy (but hot) veggies. And plenty of gravy! If you're looking for a refreshing cocktail, I'd recommend the limoncello spritz, which was incredibly delicious. The atmosphere is buzzy without being overwhelming and noisy and the staff are attentive and friendly. Well worth a visit.

It’s been several years since we last visited and it was great to see that the quality and service are still there. We had the Saturday lunch set menu of 3 courses for £25 or 2 courses for £20 with sides. The food was fresh and tasty. I had the seasonal asparagus starter which was beautifully presented, looking so pretty and colourful on the plate, followed by a vegetarian celeriac main. The side of thin cut fries with a creamy kimchi flavoured dip certainly added to the flavours. The food was delivered quickly and we had good attentive service. The portions are not the largest, but we left feeling full, impressed with the quality of the dishes. We won’t leave it so long before we are back again next time.

We pre-booked last night and arrived on Easter Sunday for lunch. It’s been a few years since I’ve been here so it was nice to see it is still going strong when so many restaurants are closing down. Booking was quick and easy, we arrived and was seated quickly at 12.30. We choose a couple of cocktails to start with then moved on to the starters of plaice and venison tartar, which both were very nice and well presented. Mains were Sunday lunch of roast beef and roast lamb which again was very nice. No room for pudding I’m afraid and overall the price was around £80 including tip which was reasonable for the setting, drinks and food. Overall ✨✨✨✨✨

This is such an average restaurant. You get what you pay for and £20 for a two course menu that includes a steak tells you everything you need to know. We were really excited to come here given it's quite highly rated, but essentially what they have done is created an illusion of exclusivity by having limited opening hours, and perfecting their plating. First course was dry, cold tasteless ham hock and chicken terrine, and second was a steak with overly salty, sweet sauce. The steak wasn't seared on the outside which meant it lacked flavour, and there was literally zero texture on the plate. As I say disappointing. The only silver lining was that we didn't go for the 6 course taster... Save your money and don't bother, it's just not worth it!

Really disappointed by the Valentine’s Day set menu. There was nothing to complain about the service, but the food was pretty terrible. Out of six courses, I’d say there was one impressive dish. Everything was clearly very cheap (2 slivers of chicken for a main, no accompaniments, minimal sauce), pre-made and most was flavourless. The venison tartar was filled out with the most revolting pan d’epice I’d ever eaten, and they’d scrimped by only adding about 4 tiny pieces of meat. That was maybe the worst dish I’ve ever eaten in a restaurant. The rest wasn’t much better - I mean, who cooks capers to the point they’re black and crunchy? They were burnt and disgusting. The desert was average and tasted cheap, the cheese course was bizarre and also pretty terrible - the only enjoyable course was the fish course. This meal was a real waste of money; I won’t be returning or recommending.

Visited Shears for the first time. What a treat. As this is a restaurant I’ll start with the food. In a word very nicely presented absolutely delicious tasty beautifully cooked. With surprisingly generous portions making our seasonal set meal actually really good value. We had Oyster Chicken parfait and Salmon and Dill starter, followed by Sea Bass and Pork Belly with green veg and smashed kimchi spuds. Pudding was Pear and Meringue. 2 beers to drink lovely Czech varieties. Service was friendly well informed and well timed. All in a really lovely experience thx to my daughters for giving us a voucher for here. 30% off in January. This did cause a bit of confusion as initially I was advised we couldn’t use the voucher and get 30% off but once I’d explained the voucher was a full price gift voucher rather than something like a cut price wowcher or Groupon reduction one the 30% reduction was included in full. Looking forward to going again probably after a menu change to try a different gastronomic delight. Thank you.

Lovely food - the Ox Cheek was excellent. Staff were great and the music was festive. Everything was preordered and the food arrived very promptly.

My friends and I dined with you last night, and had the most wonderful experience. The ambience was perfect, with a lovely Christmassy feel. The waiters were so polite and accommodating. As a vegan, I was met with three beautiful plates of food which were creatively presented, delicious in taste, and offered a range of flavours. I would highly recommend this restaurant, and will certainly be returning. Thank you, and Merry Christmas.

Enjoyed a beef sunday roast with orange wine, but there were no classic dessert options (on the Sunday menu) and the portion size could have been slightly larger.

Fantastic food, lovely atmosphere. Reasonably priced for the quality of the meal, we went for the 3 courses for £30 and it was delicious.

Came for a work event. Commincation on planning prior to the event was great. On the evening food and service equally good - they couldn't do enough for us. Great little venue. Thank you Nic, Jamie and Seb!

Wonderful 18 hole course. Demanding on the old legs but 5 out of 5 for me. Buggy hire available for the faint hearted I’ve been told. Good course, well kept and clean and staff were wonderful too

It took ages for our food to arrive and when it arrived we were all disappointed with our portion size as if you’re paying £18 for a roast you expect more than a little slab of meat. The Leodis house lager was nice though.

Love this pub. Somewhere to chat and be social without the noise.
