The Boundary House in Leeds - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Been to this place 3 times now and the food, service and atmosphere is always brilliant. We were given a new sandwich menu this time and wow. My friend and I shared a fish goujen sandwich which was beautiful. We also shared a halloumi, smoked cheese and hash brown sandwich which was absolutely out of this world. We will 💯 be back and I would 💯 recommend this lovely place.

This place is really going downhill . We noticed on our last visit they the service wasn’t great but the food was still good . Yesterday evening the food was even poorer than the badly trained and dis interested staff. Food was rushed and luke warm at its best and they couldn’t wait for us to finish so they could finish . The place now lacks any atmosphere like it used to , service is below standard and it now appears the food has headed in the same direction . Very disappointing at what used to be an enjoyable place to visit .

Called yesterday tea time with my partner and daughter, and what a shame this place seems to have gone really down hill. Children's meal was 2 tiny pieces of chicken fillets sprinkled with pepper and just a lot of hard Crusty chips. Partner had the burger but said it lacked in flavour and the fries were cold. Starters were OK. Then the service, well it was not so good as what once use to be. No friendly service witth a smile, seems to be a lot of young inexperienced staff, stood or sat talking and on there phones. Unfortunately don't think we will be in a rush to go back any time soon.

Great choice of food in the menu..good portions.. lovely restaurant.. definitely go back

We had the best lunch today and Pat looked after us so well. It was my dad’s birthday and they kindly made sure his favourite dish of fish and chips was reserved as we had a late table before booked. Not only was the food and service amazing the fabulous the chef actually stayed on later to make sure my daughter’s steak was cooked to perfection as she was running late! Thank you Pat, Chef and all the team we will be back xxx

We went as a party of 13 and it was one of the best customer service experiences I've had in a restaurant. Patrick was fantastic and made our evening so much more enjoyable. The food was great and considering there was so many of us nothing was wrong and all meals were cooked to a high standard. A tad gutted they don't do the Xmas burger anymore as that was my go to but other than that you the selections are really good for all.

Gorgeous food, fantastic Customer Service along with hilarious banter & stand up comedy show from Paddy, will definitely be returning

Such a wonderful place for a Sunday roast. Staff were polite and friendly and very attentive. Our food arrived within 10 minutes of us ordering - all piping hot and tasted delicious. The cauliflower cheese is amazing - so much so, we asked for more. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for somewhere to have Sunday lunch (would also recommend booking in advance). It does get quite busy, so the car park fulls up pretty quick. We managed to find a spot in a lay by just a short walk away. We will return. X

Brilliant food and very good value. Definitely go again.

Really hoping the manager/owner sees this. We visit periodically and our most recent was Wednesday with my cousin who is in a wheelchair. Long story cut short is that we sat in the car in the car park, as he was unable to transfer to his wheelchair. A lovely sunny day and he managed to swing his legs out of the car. Lucy took our order at the order station. When I told her our predicament she couldn’t do enough to help us. Offered assistance, brought out our food/drinks on trays & in boxes and most importantly all with a welcoming smile and a positive, cheerful attitude. What a breath of fresh air! Please tell Lucy how important she was that day…. we’ll be back.

Had yet another amazing dinner at the Boundary House. Place never fails to deliver on the quality of the food. Patrick took great care of us and was very patient (there were 13 of us). Fantastic service from him and great banter. He’s Scottish but that wouldn’t put us off returning 🙂

What a shame. Not so many years ago, this spot was a regular haunt of my parents. Dad passed away earlier this year, and it's only recently that mum has felt up to facing the outside world again. The Boundary seemed like the place to go, for old time's sake. It would have been best left as a memory. Mum had the beer battered cod, which was decent if slightly undercooked. I had the chicken, which was very nice but the skinny fries were flaccid and lukewarm, they would have been disappointing in McDonald's. The biggest problem however, was the lacklustre service. On entering, we were welcomed by the greeter's back. Once shown to our table, we waited ten minutes before anyone bothered to ask us if we might like a drink. When the food arrived, it was delivered at arm's length, the waitress already turning on her heels as the plate landed on the table. We managed to win her attention to ask for ketchup, and a glass of wine. The ketchup arrived, the glass of wine didn't. I could see it sitting on the bar, but the waitress walked past it three times before I once again managed to get someone to look up. We were made to feel like we had diverted her from something far more important as once again the order was delivered at arm's length. The place wasn't particularly busy, with only half the tables in our section being occupied. On the way out, five members of staff were gathered around the greeter's plinth, partially blocking the exit as my 82 year old ma struggled past. Nobody even flinched, and there was not so much as a goodbye. I suppose I should have complained, but by that point, much like the staff, I couldn't be bothered. It used to be such a nice place. What a shame.

We stumbled upon this pub/restaurant by chance. Really friendly welcome. We were able to sit outside thanks to the sunshine at last! I had the most delicious pan fried cod I can remember. Butter soft and cooked to perfection. Steak and Stilton pie equally perfect. The staff, service, food everything was wonderful. I wish we lived near by. Thank you

I'm writing this review because I emailed the place and got no feedback which is very rude .We had a family meal for 8 of us for my husband birthday we was booked in at 2pm and was seated at 2.15 pm because our table wasn't ready but no problem we was busy chatting. We got seated and our waiter was lovely .polite and funny we ordered starters which came quickly then a young girl started clearing plates whilst 2 of us were still eating .we then waited till 3.15 to get our mains at 3.40 we were still eating and was asked rudely by the young girl did we want to order our desserts as we had to give the table back at 3 55 pm as they needed the table I pointed out we were still eating and she said we could move in to the bar to finish our meal ??quite rudely at 3.50 pm we were just finishing when she started clearing plates and told again we had to move ?we paid nearly £300 for food and drink and was rushed and no apology I will be thinking twice before coming back .

Amazing experience. Friendly staff very polite, food outstanding. We will be returning.

Food was lovely and can't fault the service. We were shown to our table really quickly and given time to choose. We didn't try the cocktails this time,as they can be pretty pricey. They are good though.

A great find great staff and equilly great food...

Over the last few visits we have been disappointed. The bar area had a strange dirty smell, the glasses weren't clean and the atmosphere was lacking.

can honestly say one of the best Sunday lunches I've had in some time... highly recommend. staff were polite friendly and attended to all our needs with a welcoming smile and attitude. food was amazing. cocktails were something else... all round 10 out of 10... Will definitely be booking a table again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very nice place, lovely seating area outside

My second time here and the absolutely beautiful food, everything was hot, great portions, good quality & choice and reasonably priced. Patrick and staff were great, really friendly and made a brilliant atmosphere even with the restaurant being really busy. Can’t wait to come back 🩷

We visited today for lunch the service was great the food lovely and the new supervisor the yoyng irish gent what a character made our visit fun. Will definitely be back.

Lovely pub nice food and great staff.

Here for our first visit. Food was really nice and our waiter was lovely can't remember his name all I remember is he had a strong Irish accent. Initially I feel like there should be a front of house at the door welcoming you on arrival as you just have to walk to the bar a tell them your here although the bar staff looked quite oblivious an didn't really know what to do 🤔 They also advertise on their website that they accept the white horse loyalty cards. To which they then told us they don't accept them an know nothing about them...

Popped in Sunday for the roast. Service was quick and food was fantastic. Massive portions. Look forward to going back.

Lovely meal here on Saturday. Great choice of food on the menu. Service could have been better, we had been sent another tables food for one of the children & didn’t realise until the rest of our meals were served 15 minutes later! Signed up to their reward scheme & then on payment was told no one knew what to do so points could not be added. Messaged them 3 days ago as advised by the waiter but no response! Would return & recommend as the food was lovely

A fantastic pub set in a semi-rural location. The quality of the food is impressive and the service is very attentive. Hugely recommended.

Cracking atmosphere, bodies flying everywhere. Perfect pint of pepsi poured and the food is lovely as well. Special thanks to the bh team especially Jonathan Morley, Will and the lad with a dodgy mullet. All in all top notch experience would recommend to any Methley enthusiast. Thank you Mr boundary house!

I had lunch there today for the second time. Absolutely enjoyed it. I had the special quiche which was very tasty. It was very busy so was advised there could be a 10 to 15 min delay, which was fine as I had time to get a drink and peruse the menu. I was impressed with the service so I asked the waitress for her name so I could mention her (Angela)

Waited 50 minutes to be served food luke warm ...disappointed with the whole dinner ..6 of us went and and food was just OK...nothing special

The Best chicken Burger I've had in years beautiful

Lovely food, huge portions!! The people were great too, helped us with a few queries and they solved everything Highly recommend

Brilliant place,great food, great service, staff 1st class. Would recommend to all.

Been here many times as we live in the village don't even know where to start with how bad it was this time. Arrived at 715 to have a drink before our table booking at 745, group of 6 women we all stood at the bar to be served the young lad behind the bar no older that 19 stood chatting to his mate while we stood waiting it took 20 mins for us all to be served separately. On to the meal sat at the table there was still the last groups food on the seats. No a great start. The waitresses all stood chatting couldn't get any ones attention so we cleaned it ourselves. We ordered our food one of the group is vegetarian and has been for 42 years so quite rightly she orders the vegetable spring rolls to start. The starters arrived and as 4 of us ordered the vegetable spring rolls we all started eating to our surprise the vegetable spring rolls had meat in outraged that the vegetarian of the group has already eaten two bites before realising we attempted to call a waitress over. When she came to the table our friend very upset and distressed explained and she took away her plate for 10 minutes and came back with the plate, her words were "we have investigated the food and can see this does look to have meat as these are not made in house and are bought in there's little we can do other than contact the manufacturer if you want, can we get something else for you and we will take it off the bill." Our friend declines the replacement starter. After a further discussion between our selves I approached another waitress and requested I speak with a manager she advise the young girl we had spoken to was the supervisor on shift, so I spoke with her again and said how upset we all were that this had happened and the lack of apology from anyone was not acceptable she offered a round of drinks to compensate. I walked away still unsatisfied by the lack of care from staff. Shortly after there were people walking through the resteraunt as we ate with dogs off leads it was only later we found out that they worked there too. As we sat after finishing our meal and just finishing our drinks and chatting a waitress approached us with the bill asked us to pay and move to the bar area, there was a large table of people opposite who finished eating way before us that had not been given the bill or asked to move we asked why we needed to move and they said it was to allow them to set the table for the next day. We finished our drinks and left. Un happy and will be contacting food standards with the photos and evidence we have. Unacceptable.

Service was slow and food was nice enough but overpriced for what it is . Very disappointing. Staff were friendly though .

Service very poor. Waited one hour for food and then one meal missing. Asked for vegetables which never arrived. The food was good quality spoilt by the way it was served. There appeared to be no-one in charge. Our first visit, but probably our last.

For the second time in a year, met two friends here for a catch up. Drove 70+miles to do so but we'll worth the trip. Lovely place, food and atmosphere great. Had the risotto today...very nice and super sized portions.

Our third visit to Boundary House for lunch and on each occasion all the meals served to our group have been superb. Portions are also on the generous side. The staff are very friendly and attentive and they create a great informal atmosphere. Any requests for slight changes to the menu dish were taken care of without any problem. We are looking forward to visiting again soon.

Sunday Lunch meal was costly and lukewarm swimming in thin gravy accompanied by a Yorkshire pudding that appeared not to be homemade. Alcohol was also expensive, however, the sticky toffee pudding was delicious and saved the day!

1st time there for Sunday lunch. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Great food & excellent friendly staff. We'll be back.

Went for uncles birthday. In a function room upstairs. Only 1 toilet upstairs, if in use had to go down stairs to get to the toilet. Not the easiest of stairs for those who are on crutches or use a walking aid.

Regular to boundary house as we live in Methley of which usually amazing and never a single complaint. However slight disappointment tonight as the burger I order was dry enough to be inedible, even after using both kofta sauces to moisten the burger patty to no success, leaving two bites out of the burger. Mentioning it to the wait staff and expecting not to pay full whack for the burger itself (still paying full for my wife, son and the section of the meal I ate as I refuse a free meal).

Fantastic choice of food, great atmosphere and amazing portions! Ate every bit and will be back. Each time I have enjoyed my meal. Last nights meal was fantastic.

Visited for a baby shower and had afternoon tea. Went into a room upstairs which was a lovely private room, but far too many stairs for my mum. Sandwiches were nice, usual afternoon tea arrangements. Desserts / Cakes were different, could’ve done with a card to advise what they were x Service was slow, and had to ask for plates to be cleared. Staff too busy chatting behind the bar.

Food was very good. Beef on the Sunday lunch was plentiful and cooked perfectly. Staff were polite and provided a great service.

Great place great service great food

A first visit on the recommendation of friends. It was a nice environment and the staff were pretty helpful. Disappointingly though, we had specifically booked a place which offered a roast dinner with a main for vegetarians (nut roast listed on the menu online) and when we got there, this was no longer an option. The waitress said that's just a sample menu but it certainly wasn't listed as that online. That left us with just the roast dinner minus a main protein which we did have, and which was good, or a veggie pasta or the offer of a stuffed aubergine. I would suggest in todays market, there should be a vegetarian main which contains protein-Ca you imagine offering a meat eater a roast dinner but no meat !

Would highly recommend here to anyone, just be aware that it isn’t your cheap pub lunch..££

Seem to have got comfortable thought the service was good but the food was poor my friend had salmon came with two small potatoes my wife’s meal had no taste whatsoever hadn’t been seasoned so I felt let down by my experience

Service great, food good and atmosphere nice.

Have been to this restaurant several times but this time was nothing special. The service was slow and although we were told they were extremely busy less than half the tables were taken. The food was alright but nothing special, but the occasion was spoiled by the freezing temperature in the place, we did ask if there was any heating only to be told the fire was lit. Very disappointed.

Really unimpressed following my visit to the Boundary House Yesterday. To say boundary house is classed as a ‘cosy country pub’ this was not the service given yesterday. As regular and local customers we were told that we need ‘to stand as that’s what you have to do in a pub sometimes’ despite there being plenty of empty tables in the restaraunt and we were only finishing one drink. Didn’t feel very welcoming at all - their was different staff working than usual.

Food was excellent service very good nice venue.

Food was amazing but service was poor. Tried to order a chardonnay, the waiter replied with 'a what?' It didnt show up, not surprising. There was a lovely young lady who saved the day however the rest of the staff either had no clue or were not interested. A lady with very short, dark hair and an accent seemed to be working the section we were sat in. Im not sure if we had annoyed her by simply being there but she made absolutely no contact with our table all evening to the point where it became embarrassing. She was very attentive to literally every other table but didnt so much as look in our direction. I even said excuse me twice and was ignored. Food was amazing and if it wasnt for that i would have walked out.

Homely warm atmosphere. Outstanding quality food & drinks. Regular live events & seasonal/cultural celebrations (food festivals, bonfire celebrations etc... Dog friendly. Amazing in the summer on the open terrace sun trap with some antipasti or fresh mini loaf bread with olive oil & balsamic for dipping and a cocktail, Aperol Spritz or a G&T. Equally nothing better than an autumnal or winter stroll through the trails around Methley, then to The Boundary House, to dream your afternoon away relaxing with a Guinness in front of the open log burning fire.

Good quality food and a reasonable price

We went for Sunday dinner and to be fair it was excellent. They catered for my girlfriend that is coeliac which was a bonus. Service was good too. We were sat on the left as you walk in which wasn't great as the sun was in our faces and it got really hot but that aside great experience.

We just enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch at the Boundry house . Really good portions of quality meat & vegetables .The Yorkshire puds and cauliflower cheese were exceptional ! The service was attentive but not too much . We will definitely be back !

Had a lovely meal, Sunday lunch, very welcoming great service and we shall definitely be back again

we went here in summer to sit outside and have a drink myself and my mother 88 years old, there large outside patio had about 20 tables to sit at, we were approched and told there all reserved for people eating, even though no one was sitting there ? so we were told we could only sit in the garden area with the very dangerous seating, my good shes 88 wheres the respect, the women in charge (tyrant) said we had that or leave cos its food only inside. i understand that we have to make money but come on !

Upmarket country pub with a decent selection of 3-4 rotating hand pulled ales. We've dined here many times and have had varying experiences but our latest meal was very good. Prices are on the high side for pub food but generally the quality of the dishes reflect the higher cost. The scotch egg was average but the pie was outstanding as was the pork.

Went with family for a birthday celebration. Great place, good food and good service by the young staff too. Would definitely recommend.

We went here for my uncle’s birthday about a week ago, we arrived about 5 minutes late due to traffic, and the waiter had no problem with it and was very friendly, however the food took over an hour and a half to arrive and was slightly cold. A few members of the party decided to order puddings about 20 minutes after the mains had arrived, once again, the waiter had no problem and took the orders. But about 5 minutes after, the owner of the restaurant came to our table and told us to leave because the next people booked in had arrived, He then proceeded to gaslight us and told us we were 40 minutes late, which was incorrect as the table was booked for 12:45 and we arrived 12:50, it was due to the fact that we had to wait over an hour for the meal and we were not informed that we only had a certain amount of time at the table. Such a shame, as the food was nice and the waiter was polite, but the way the owner spoke to us was completely out of line, and we won’t be returning. Neither will the other 11 members of the party.

Poor service from the Boundary House. I’ve found it annoying that you have to book via the dishcult app as have to reset my password every time. Even more so that I’ve booked a table on it for my fiancés birthday and turned up tonight and it is closed. What shocking service that you can book a table when they are closed. Absolutely Rubbish.

Beautiful environment Lovely ambiance 1st time visit Will definitely go again, might even try the restaurant

A M A Z I N G… wonderful food fabulous staff been for a few Afternoon Teas but this was by far the best, staff were so accommodating and friendly if I could give 10 stars I would, loved it

Excellent food and service as usual. Cod loin was immense as was the Haddock and chips. Efficient friendly staff who were so attentive. Never tried a fillet steak but a couple near us did so we asked them for future reference and they said it was great

This place has totally lost its sparkle and soul. Having been many times over the years for either food or just drinks we were really disappointed with our recent visit. On way on a very hot sunny day, my husband said we might struggle to get a table outside as its normally so busy in the garden. When we arrived there was only a handful of people. Having being told we couldn't just drink on the terrace and it's for diners only (!) We got a drink from a very quiet bar and sat on the long tables. It was so hot I would have thought the outdoor bar would be open but there was no vibe like there used to be in the summer. Music was droll and boring. We intended to stay for a few hours but ended up going to the cricket club opposite where it was packed, that's where all the locals are going now, you can tell that's the community hub, and unfortunately the Boundary seems to only want to cater for diners. We've decided we won't be returning, and having spoken to many locals at Spinners - neither will they. Shame.

Really nice, wiil be back when in the area.

Lovely pub for a cheeky afternoon drink. Even better in Summer as there's a lovely deck and beer garden..

My daughter held her baby shower here today....the afternoon tea was lovely....service was excellent, Chloe and Lucy went above and beyond to make sure we had the best day....Thank you so much

Very slow service, one course from order to eating 90 minutes seemed same for most folk also - food was ok but left without dessert as I could wait no longer

Sunday 20th August 2023 This great real ale pub and eating restaurant is over the road from Methley cc This pub served 4 great real ales on, and its clientelle were also great lovers The pub is an open planned 1-room pub Worth visiting to drink good real ales

We often visit here. The standard is consistent, good value for money. The staff are friendly and efficient. No cheesecake this time.....boo!

One of the best sunday roasts I've had. The cauliflower cheese was perfection. The lamb and pigs in blankets were really tasty, the veg was cooked perfectly, and the yorkshire pudding was spot on. The only part that I thought could be improved was the roast potatoes which weren't perfectly crispy but still good. Overall a nice cosy place for a meal with a modern interior, plenty of space and nice friendly staff. Also the beer was really nice (saltaire blonde) and went down a treat after walking in the rain around st. aidan's.

Really good Sunday dinner with friendly staff and efficient service

Nice bear garden/ patio are for afternoon sun,what bit we got ,so went inside to eat. Lovely waitress looked after us and our meal was lovely will definitely be back.

Gorgeous food and surroundings. Lovely staff.. definitely be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A lovely place to celebrate my birthday. Staff couldn't do enough to make my day special! Will go back again.

Visited twice now and both times exceptional. Went for lunch, food portions and generous and the lamb and chicken kebabs are superb. Service was impeccable and the outside dining area is attractive. Highly recommended.

Nice place to sit outside, food good, drink great but my only gripe is the music is a bit loud when you are trying to talk, but there again I have hearing problems.

Called off here today on the way home from Lotherton Hall. Amazing setting, food, drinks and service lovely team and place never disappoints 🙌🏻🌞😊 x

Lovely beer garden with lots of seating

Myself, boyfriend and dog visited today for Sunday lunch at 1610 to be told we couldn’t order as the chef said no and would only be serving reservations. I looked online to book a table there was 1 available at 1645 in the restaurant. We enquired about this only to be told yes there was table just become free but we couldn’t eat in the bar area, even though 6 people were already eating in bar area ?? Please can anyone explain this The bar staff were extremely rude and could not explain to us why this was the case ?? !! Needless to say we left and will not be returning.

No longer serve food outside? Pathetic

Lovely visit. Friendly and efficient staff, home cooked Sunday lunches with generous portions. Excellent value for money. Very much enjoyed and will be back soon!

Had a great time, food & service were excellent .

This is a local gem, with friendly staff, a large garden and overgenerous portion sizes of good food.

Table not ready so told to sit in bar. Waited 45minutes for dinner despite asking after 30mins if food was on the way.the waitress was polite but suggested we order more drinks Food fish pie arrived in i would describe as a dog bowl. All in all alround awful. We will not return

Had a lovey time..the food was really nice & the staff were Brill.

I’ve had some great food here but not this time Poor Sunday lunch in my opinion

Always got a good choice of larger and ales on tap. Food is always very very good. Our go to local pub.

Had a lovely time with my son, daughter in law & her mum for a Mother's day treat. Lovely food, atmosphere & company

Decided to have a family get together lunchtime today. No special occasion, just three generations & two dogs. Whole experience was excellent with special thanks to the lady who took our orders etc. Surroundings great, food delicious & a lovely overall atmosphere with our fellow diners. Thank you very much.

Hi BH Team, Well I came with my children for a Sunday roast which was for my birthday. The service from everybody we dealt with was superb pleasant and friendly The food again couldn’t be faulted probably the nicest roast I have had in a pub/restaurant, there was plenty the quality was excellent we didn’t have to wait too long and it didn’t come flying out of the door as soon as we ordered it so spot on ! I will definitely be back and hopefully before my next birthday. Many Thanks Lee H

We really enjoyed our Sunday lunch. The 3 meat roast was delicious. Love the fact you get cauliflower cheese! Plenty of everything, left feeling very full and happy. Service was great. The decor is beautiful, it felt like we were in a really expensive restaurant....

We came here for my husband's 70th birthday. When we arrived and sat down my granddaughter got some food on her hoodie from the corner of the table, not a good start! The staff sorted it out and apologised and once everyone arrived we ordered...

After a walk around the rspb reserve nearby, (st austins - also worth a visit) called in without a booking on route home. Amazing food and service. Even though it was really busy (on a wed) we were not kept waiting long for food to arrive. Lovely pub with rustic feel. Menu is varied and reasonably priced. Staff are fantastic 👏

Wow what a gem we visited today, didn't book Sunday dinner, made very welcome, a table was made up for us, excellent staff, very attentive, Sunday dinner amazing, will definitely be back 😀
