The Adelphi in Leeds

Classic pub with partitioned rooms, original features abound, all on the ground floor, this allows you to find a space for a quiet chat and a pint on busy days.

Top notch Sunday lunch. 5 out of 5

Had a great day here, brilliant atmosphere good drink selection and lovely food, Hanna and Jesse both been brilliant

Very expensive beer but a lovely venue.

Lovely food, service slow not down to the waiting staff, but good atmosphere

Great pub with a modern but traditional feel. Good beers, good food and a relaxed atmosphere.

Really like this pub. We did the quiz. Good fun, but even after a few weeks of microphone issues they still haven't fixed it. Do they think it'll repair itself?

I had the seabass with ratte potatoes, chorizo, leeks, peas and lemon veloute sauce. It was the best meal I've had for a long, long time - the bass was spot on, the flavours of potato, leek and peas were all enhanced by the decent hit of chorizo. The lemon veloute brought it all together beautifully and the pea shoots were a delightful garnish. I asked the bar staff who'd made it - they said Mikey, and that he'd get a free drink for a good review. Mikey, if you get to read this, enjoy the drink - you're a great chef.

The food was delicious, I can’t recommend the belly pork highly enough, absolutely melted in the mouth. My husband had the chicken schnitzel and said it was equally delicious. All compliments to chef Jason. Server Dan was the perfect amount of attentive, there when you wanted him and very friendly. The cocktails were also great, particularly the smoked pineapple mezcalita. It was our first time dining here and we’ll definitely be back. Only 4/5 stars on the atmosphere as we were sharing the room with a large and very loud group that made conversation difficult but that’s not the venue’s fault.

Delicious food! Great atmosphere! Friendly staff - highly recommend!

Went for the quiz night. The guy who used to do the quiz night was great fun. Been to the quiz night a couple of times since the lady has taken over - Adelphi, sort it out. She was bloody miserable both times. In a time where people are going out less and less due to how much it costs (£6.40 for a pint of Peroni in your place!), we won’t be returning again until you find someone who has a bit of fun about them.

Fab pub, gorgeous food, lovely, friendly, attentive staff, cannot recommend highly enough 👍👌👏

Great value, lovely meal & excellent staff

Great evening watching the 6 Nations. Good food, good beer and friendly staff.

Absolutely lovely food, really enjoyed the boss burger. Very nicely presented and a lot of taste. Definitely recommend ❤️

Fab night at the Adelphi tonight with my husband and daughter. Food was brilliant as was the service. My hubby had the steak, daughter fish and chips and i had the big dipper chicken and bacon burger, they were all really lovely. The crispy onion side is amazing.. shout out to Dan and Blake, they always make sure we are looked after and from my observations take genuine pride in making sure all customers are happy.

Traditional Pub, fantastic food, Super service and awesome atmosphere. Just over the river from lower briggate near the site of the former Tetley brewery and now city green space. Must stop off on your visit to Leeds

Really nice spot, went there for a bite to eat and a few drinks, Jada looked after us and she was great - would definitely go back.

Lovely pub, always come here for a pint and always served by a gentlemen Blake. Always a good laugh. Just wish they would bring back the big cow!

good time at the adelphi, was served by Jada who was wonderful and made sure everything was okay. she made it a brilliant experience, would recommend coming here

Such a lovely pub with friendly staff, especially our server Jada

10/10 experience being served by Jada. She was so welcoming and made sure we had the best service. Loved our 3 course meal too. Would visit here again thanks to her.

Jada served me and was so lovely ! Food was also great.

I visited The Adelphi a couple of weeks with my partner. Jada served us and was such a delight. She made us feel welcomed, and provided some recommendations which were surprisingly good! We can’t wait to come back soon!

Lovely pub, cracking food and a nice rotation of beers on tap. Went in the other week and was served by Blake who was very friendly and helpful - poured one of the best pints of Guinness I've had in Leeds

What a great little place this is , very welcoming and friendly, love the different rooms to choose to sit in . The bar staff are great and has a fantastic range of beer and cask on draught as well as a nice stock of everything else. If you ever in Leeds well worth a visit

Great staff, beautiful space, amazing all round. My friends an I use the venue regularly and are never disappointed. So yeah

Went for the quiz by Maria on Tuesday and it was great

Came for the quiz for the first time. Will definitely be back the quiz was really fun and some great questions. Thank you x

Really nice pub and a great atmosphere but £19.85 for a single g+t and two pints seemed expensive (one of the pints was non alcoholic).

Lovely food and service from Hannah for our friend’s birthday 😊

Thank you Hanna for looking after us at Nicks birthday party 🎈

Drinks⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibe⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cozy, traditional pub, with great food and service!

Jan 2025 Our server Jesse was attentive and beamed a warm, welcoming, personality. The nachos (home made by Ian ) were amazing and Sunday lunch delicious. Will definitely be going back for Sunday lunch. A few beers and an old fashioned. Thank you for a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

It was very good, the waiter was a super good person and he served us 10/10, the burger was great. And the atmosphere is very calm and very good too. 100% recommended

Fantastic old pub feel, lovely food and service

Had the most delicious veggie roast Sunday lunch today…..in my opinion the best in Leeds! The roast beef got a big thumbs up too! We had a selection of desserts, all of which were yummy 😋 Thank you Jason. Blake did a great job serving our food, very helpful and friendly 😀 A lovely old pub with friendly staff, great food…..definitely worth a visit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had gone for a leaving do for a work friend and we booked a table on the second floor. Staff seemed lovely at first but then as the night started properly and the appetisers came out, staff were rude and slammed plates down. One of our guests had suffered a seizure the night before so couldn’t make it and they assumed we were lying (we are NHS workers, we wouldn’t lie about that). At first, before the food came out a tall lanky server said “you know what? Don’t worry about the other person we will still bring the food out but we will knock the price off so that you only pay for 9 people.” We thought that that was lovely and continued with the night. Later on however, at the end of the night, they sent someone we hadn’t even been served by to come and tell us that this isn’t what happened and we were made to look like liars again. I am very disappointed with the service here and my colleague heard the servers saying “I can’t wait for them to leave.” If I come again I would like to hope I don’t bump into those rude, clearly dissatisfied with life, servers ever as that ruined the atmosphere of what could have been a very classy meal. They turned the music up very loud at one point too at the beginning and considering we were the only table up there it was completely unnecessary and the table that arrived after us seemed to be treated either the same or better, no idea, but do not recommend the Adelphi. Food was the only good part and even then they don’t cater for everyone so another guest wasn’t able to come due to the fact they asked you to sign an NDA almost basically taking the responsibility off their shoulders if the person with specific dietary requirements got ill …. Like what?!?

I wasn't going to post this to Google, was just giving feedback to the pub but it's automatically asked me to share my experience with Google. So here it is

We had a large family meal today from the festive menu. Absolutely great value at only £30/head for a three course meal. The food was superb and the service was top notch. They took care of our allergy requests, knew the name of each person that each dish was for and were so friendly and attentive. Great selection of drinks. Everyone in our party loved it. Will definitely return.

Very good place 👏 with nice food, nice atmosphere and costumers' services 👌

I've never been before, but I'd just like to say what a fabulous evening we had. 5 friends meeting for a Christmas meal and get together. Booking process was very easy. When we arrived (a bit early) we were looked after from the start by Blake who managed to move things around for us to another table. From there till the end the service was great. Our food was just delicious - apparently cooked by Ian. Between us we had the mixed roast sharers and pies. All were very much enjoyed. We will be back.

Our mental health charity staff held our annual festive party at The Adelphi on Saturday and are genuinely happy to report how pleased we were with the food, the service and the venue - all marvellous! We were very impressed with the freshness, tastiness and quality of the food and it was a lovely, varied and colourful menu that all went beautifully together - quite special when compared to many pubs' standard Christmas buffet fare, and to some of the sit-down meals we've had over the years as well. The function room was gleamingly clean, perfectly appointed (places to hang our coats, plenty of seating, our own bar, toilets nearby), and tastefully decorated for the season. Having the room to ourselves, we were able to just relax and enjoy our time together...something really valued working out in the community as we do. Many thanks to all The Adelphi staff for their stellar service, both for the day itself and for excellent communication and flexibility with our booking. We will be planning well in advance to secure our spot with you for next year. PS: Just to be clear, each of us paid for our own meals; rest assured our charity service's funding goes towards service provision for our clients!

Great place with great character. The Christmas dinner was superb - if you haven't booked yours yet, this is the place to go!

Great setting, hospitality and customer service.

My partner and I have visited a few places for Sunday lunch recently and decided to start rating them. The food at The Adelphi is hard to beat, Mikey the chef has done them proud, serving a delicious, well prepared and presented meal, the beef was cooked to perfection. Jesse our server was great and made sure we had everything we needed including lashings of gravy. This lunch will be hard to beat!!

Amazing traditional Sunday lunch and good value for money - thanks to Martin, Jason and Deb. I would definitely recommend this place.

Sunday lunch for 4, 1st December 1 p.m., a 9/10 experience, so a very good effort from the chef team and our server Grace. Main courses were excellent; I liked the avoidance of 'death by potato' in the balance of the roast meals (other may prefer spud overkill). The desserts weren't quite so far above average but still very good. I imagine this is a place that could get a bit 'stretched' if every table was taken, but no complaints from us.

Great meeting place for friends and a delicious Christmas lunch

Such a cosy pub! We hadn’t booked and the my managed to squeeze us in! The server Grace was lovely and the Sunday roast sharing platter from Mikey, Martin and Jason was delicious !!

I was so looking forward to finally having Sunday lunch here, had tried before but always full. First impressions were brilliant, gorgeous old fashioned surroundings all trimmed for Christmas with fires on in the grate. Had added an extra person to our pre booked party which was welcomed without issue - great, we were all so excited and happy to have Sunday lunch together. Unfortunately things went downhill, we waited 20 minutes before approaching the bar to order drinks to be advised quite sharply order would be taken at the table. Ok... so finally drinks order was taken but food order had to wait til drink s were served. Our food arrived an hour after our reservation we were all really hungry and thrilled to see it. Unfortunately it wasn't great, meat was good but cold, veg were brilliant loved the cabbage peas and carrots, parsnips were dry and roast potatoes challenged my teeth which I'm happy to still call my own. The biggest disappointment was the Yorkshire pudding, so hard and dry the cutlery provided almost bent. The server wisely offered more gravy but this was in vain. They were really awful All that said we ate up as we were so hungry anything would do and were happy to pay up. One of us had a train to catch and was a bit anxious about being on time so.aftrr the server failed to reappear after taking 2 out of 5 plates we thought best to pay at the bar. We waited patiently in the queue, could see it was busy. I noticed a laptop left unlocked which I mentioned to my friend. Oh dear, that was silly of me. I was shouted at across the bar to avert my eyes and not look upon the laptop screen Erm. Excuse me but it was not my data breach and that was really rude. I was embarrassed and disappointed, the person who took our mone( 120 pounds which of course we paid in full) was terse and made no enquiry as to our experience and to be honest I was so embarrassed I just wanted to leave rather than raise that the food had been served cold, dry and hard after an inordinate time Its OK, I won't trouble you again adelphi

Wow the share roast platter exceeded all expectations today

Stupidly expensive, we won't be back I am disappointed with your reply. You are not competitive with your local businesses. £16 for a medium glass of wine and a pint of Stout is not competitive, it is expensive! I have downgraded your rating accordingly 😤

Lovely building, lovely pub. Service wasn't 100%, but the food was amazing and the beer was well kept

On the 15th November approx 8:30pm, someone behind the bar called Robyn, who had hair like lava girl, gave excellent customer service throughout the evening, and when someone I was with left their bag at the table, proceeded to run down the street to return it. 10/10 service, Robyn deserves a free drink and a pay rise.

Popped in for a cheeky pint before dinner with my mate. The place has a good selection of local beer, good service and atmosphere. There are lots of rooms and it’s spacious.

Sunday lunch is fantastic at the Adelphi have been there many times and never been disappointed. It was also very comfortable with a lovely coal fire

Food was great, atmosphere was good, service was poor. Staff were rude and seemed like they didn’t want to be there. The service was not worth the charge they added on the bill.

nice pub, lovely function room. Dan was super helpful with questions / helping run my event.

Martin, Dan, Robyn and Ian were all fantastic. The service was amazing and so were the drinks and food will certainly be coming back

I love the Adelphi. It’s just a great traditional pub. We’re a neuro-spicy family and some of us are picky eaters. So finding somewhere we can all enjoy the same/similar food to have a family meal out together (that doesn’t involve pizza or curry) can be challenging. Plus we like a convivial atmosphere but not rowdiness (it can get a bit loud during the week when all the office staff pour in after work but we had a cunning plan). We booked a table for all four of us for my birthday which fell on a Sunday this year. Late Sunday lunch (veggie option) fit the occasion perfectly. We arrived at about 5pm. Usually most of the roasts would be gone by then but not so the veggie options (I knew this from a previous booking). The food was superb, the nut roast with almonds and walnuts was particularly tasty. We honestly couldn’t fault a thing from the Yorkshire pudding to the roast carrots and delicious veggie gravy of which we asked for more and got a small extra jug-full each. Overall, a wonderful family meal out on my birthday. The £30 drinks voucher that I was emailed because it was my birthday helped to keep the price down but I’d have gone there anyway. It’s one of my favourite pub eateries in Leeds. Thanks to chefs Mikey and Martin for their culinary expertise and the usual bar/waiting staff (sorry guys I didn’t catch your names). You made my birthday a really special occasion with your care and attentiveness. Bravo Adelphi! 💚

Awesome first Sunday Lunch. Sharing Platter was AMAZING! Mikey was our Chef and we were served by Jade! Excellent from start to finish. Belly Pork was literally best I’ve ever had! Everything else was FABULOUS! Deffo going to be our ‘go to’ Sunday lunch! Xxx

We came and had roasts. They were absolutely spanking. Mikey was our chef and man Alive the boy can cook. Masses of delicious, spot on food. Jada’s smile could light up a room as she dealt with a few special requests. Thank you we’ll be back

Really nice traditional pub. The wooden glazed screens and old table buzzers were really atmospheric. Good place for a few beers, especially the titanic plum porter

Nice traditional city pub in the centre of Leeds.

Not eaten in the Adelphi for a number of years as our last visit was nothing special. Decided to go today for a Sunday roast. They've really upped their game. Iced water brought to your table whilst browsing the menu. Ordered a lager from their huge drink range and a wine. Great service. Our lamb and nut roast dinners were brought out and we were asked if we wanted extra gravy which we said yes to. All in all a deliciously fresh tasty roast dinner with great service from Erin and the place is dog friendly!! Bonus meeting a lovely whippet ❤️

What a charming pub this is 😊 I went today for lunch with a group of friends and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was lovely. The pub is a little out of the way but worth seeking out, it's full of character and a delight 👍

Popped in for a bit of lunch. All I can say is " amazing!". Now sat in a total food coma having eaten more cheese in one sitting than is medically advised. Went for the share starter of camembert with rosemary and sourdough bread.... Beautiful. Followed by Halloumi fries, Chilli and honey fried chicken, and chorizo sausages from the bar snack menu.... Wow! Good size to share and all very tasty. Will definitely be going again to try more dishes. All the staff are lovely and friendly. Robyn our server and Mikey the chef 5*

Decent choice of beer. Service with a smile. Sky Sports on tvs.

13 of us a family get together had one of the side rooms for us all. I had the belly pork very tasty homemade yourshire etc Good service . Would recommend.

Great service, great food. Bar staff mikey, dan and Blake were great at helping our customers, very welcoming and friendly

Great roast! Would recommend the sharer platter, we had it for 2 and were super full. Robyn and Luke gave lovely service!

Great food. Great staff. Thanks especially to Robyn & Luke. Mikey is a top chef 🧑‍🍳

Had a beef Sunday roast and fish and chips. Food was on point (as usual) thanks Ian. Erin was polite and efficient, great service overall. Will be visiting again

pint nexck oil & glass of pinot £14.05 and miserable service 👎👎😲

Very good food, some real ales and good service in a cozy atmosphere.

After parking our car nearby we dropped in for a spot of lunch. From the moment we approached the bar the staff were lovely and made us feel welcomed. The food was very nice. Highly recommend this place.

Attended with a party of 18 for a wedding reception. We had the Platinum Buffet with desserts. It was amazing, tasty, high quality food and everyone said how good it was. Incredibly reasonable for the price. All staff were great. The room we booked - Tap Room - looks great. Easy process to arrange the night.

Lovely friendly bar staff, Dan spent time talking with us and could not have been more welcoming and pleasant, what an asset! Also his female colleague who made everyone feel welcome. The food was excellent too so congrats to the chef

Great place, staff, beer and food.

I absolutely love this pub! It’s a hidden gem in Leeds with a proper old-school Victorian vibe and stylish decor. We hired the Snug for a small party, and it was perfect—beautifully decorated and just the right size. The price was very reasonable, too. We opted for the platinum buffet, and the food was amazing—very tasty and fresh with lots of variety. The staff were fantastic, and the music added to the great atmosphere. I highly recommend this place!

Went for the pub quiz and it wasn't fun. Quiz master was late, wasn't a very interesting quiz and not a lot of personality. Wasn't helped by an annoying heckler throughout the evening. On the plus, it was a real love quiz, not just one you play through an app.

Nice place, they do a great pub quiz. I think it's about time I visited again.

Booked a big group table for birthday drinks, they gave us the whole snug which was absolutely perfect! Staff were great and friendly. Couldn’t fault it

The Adelphi was the place we chose to entertain our guests following our wedding. We can’t thank them enough for the friendly welcome and outstanding service they gave us all.

Beautiful interior, friendly staff and the food was wonderful. Really enjoyable, thank you. We would certainly visit again.

Used to be a great pub, but it was just about empty on Friday. real shame

Great character, food and staff.

Rude staff & made to feel unwelcome aswell as don't belong in there because we don't fit there opinion on an ideal customer. Made false accusations. Was 1st time in and never again. Staff were happy enough to take my money after we ordered but when an issue arose Wasn't allowed our money back. Wouldn't have had an issue if the 1st member of staff that spoke had said something there and then not rely on another to tell me an issue arose

Brilliant old fashioned pub well kept beers with good choice

Popped in for a swift pint this afternoon. Served a lovely pint with a smile from Moll. Would recommend.

Mollie was fantastic ... great service xxx

Served by molly today, absolute star from start to finish; made us feel very welcome! Also asked for my ID even though I’m 40, made me feel so young! Will definitely come again with service like that.

Nice selection of beer and the food was excellent

I have been coming to The Adelphi since I moved to West Yorkshire in 2006. Love the drinks, relaxed atmosphere and food is amazing. Came last night, Monday, and my husband and I had 3 small plates and the Camembert baked in sourdough. It was all delicious and it was, as always, a lovely chilled out evening. I am so grateful that this pub never disappoints so I thought I’d write a review this time. Thank you!

Hired a room for an event, had drinks & the platinum buffet. Staff were great, food was great and the venue also great!

Great food and really reasonable prices. Recommended.

Decent boozer which gets the sun late in the day.
