The Calverley Arms in Leeds

Lilly was brilliant with our daughter Lillie

Just home from lunch at the Calverley Arms for a belated 80th celebration for my father-in-law. I expected it to be more hectic than usual being Good Friday but it was pleasantly busy and we weren't rushed at all. Jo looked after us brilliantly and nothing was too much trouble. 5/6 of us had three courses and all the food went down a treat. Thank you so much for a lovely visit.

Lovely visit to Calverley Arms! Jo was wonderful, very attentive and helpful 😊

Good food in great surroundings and well-looked after

Lilly was the waitress and she was amazing!

Me and my called on passing and found the Calverley arms a very nice pub with good beer being served and polite and courteous staff.we will call again.

Service very slow on not a busy day food okay

Great service, lovely atmosphere. Natasha was very attentive

The Calverley Arms is our local pub and over the last 4 years or so since moving here we have visited on countless occasions, we love the venue given its character, location and great beer garden but we always come away feeling a bit disappointed. The food is always just ok, it’s never anything to shout about and we ate there again last night for the first time in a while and we would say the same. The thing that lets the pub down is the lack of staff, they are great team and have some lovely members but we waited an hour for our meal last night and it was clear to see how understaffed they were. We always feel the bar area lacks comfort and could be so much more welcoming too…..it’s such a shame, Mitchell’s and Butlers have a fabulous site which is so under utilised and promoted….it could be a really special place given the right management and investment.

Held a reception here. Nice place, very clean, food really good and the staff, especially Joe were really helpful and friendly.

A huge thank you to Jo and the team for looking after us today for our funeral wake. Everything was perfect, from the venue, to the food (which everyone loved, especially the sausage rolls) and the service. Jo went out of her way to look after us and made sure everything worked well and on time for our group and she even sorted out individual pudding orders for everyone which was an addition we requested on the day. Thank you so much Jo for making a difficult day much easier for us.

Great food, excellent service. Highly recommend brunch. Our waitress Jo was lovely and attended to our every need. The Calverley Arms has a lovely, welcoming, family feel and we will definitely be back.

The only place we stay when visiting the Leeds area!! Excellent accommodations, first class dining and amazing staff!! Thank you!!

We came for Mother's Day. The special menu gave a great choice and included meals for both coeliac and dairy allergies. Our waitress Millie was lovely and especially great with my husband, who has a brain injury.

Friendly staff good food very helpful. Member of staff jo was very helpful thanks

Fantastic place to eat. And the team are great, really friendly. Special shout out to Lilly our friendly and welcoming server. 👍

First visit for Mother's Day. Lovely food and welcoming staff. Highly recommend the Sunday roast lamb and the beef. Devon crab cake and pate as starters.

With particular thanks to Jo. We hired a part of Calverley Arms for our mum’s ‘wake’, as it was a favourite haunt of hers. We received excellent courteous service all round, with a delightful spread, all for a very reasonable price. Thanks again.

From the minute we stepped in we were greeted with a smiling face. Very welcoming warm cozy place. Room has everything we needed. Food wow!!! Truly delicious, freshly cooked and plated with care. 10 out 10 !!! Thank you to Jo who served us breakfast, very helpful kind lady. Will defo be back.

I made a request when booking online for a quieter table, if possible. When we arrived we were brought to a table in the quietest part of the dining room where there were only tables of two and four set up. I was super relieved as I was hoping for a quiet, chill meal at the end of a long week. Lilly gave us flawless service and the food was excellent. It was an amazing start to the weekend and I was touched by the amount of care taken to honour my request. Thank you so much! x

Imogen was amazing, looked after us so well and made my mothers day meal so special

Natasha was brilliant, gave a 4 for the food as the pudding was cold but still delicious

Excellent, Millie was a fantastic hostess we had a brilliant Mothers Day Thank you 5*****

Food was lovely and the service was efficient and Lilly was very helpful informative

We came for a Mothers Day breakfast and was greeted by Millie who was friendly, very professional and attentive. The food was really nice. Thank you for a lovely morning. Looking forward to coming back again.

Wonderful meal Lilly was very friendly and extremely helpful, she helped make it a great experience. Thank you Lilly⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Steve &Julie

Lovely food. Excellent service from Millie. Highly recommended

Lilly was our server today, very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, with a good selection.

We came here for my birthday tea with family. We were astonished when the bill came at the price of the Shiraz red wine- £11.75 for one glass!!!!!!!This is a basic restaurant and the price of drinks should reflect that.

Me and my Fiancé enjoyed a pleasant meal today at the Calverley Arms. We will definitely be returning again thank you to the wonderful service we received of Jo :-)

Very pleasant. Lots of outdoor seating. First went seven years ago in 2018 and we keep going back. That tells you we like it. Great location away from busy roads. Large gardens. Was served by Lilly last night (18 April 2024) and she was brilliant. And served by Olivia this evening (18 Sep 2024) who was polite, helpful, and a great waitress. And served again by Olivia on 26 March 2025. She sorted out a small problem with no fuss. She’s personable and friendly, just what you want in a waitress. Food is usually good. The decor and feel is really great. And if you sign up for emails you’ll keep getting great offers such as 40% off mains on certain days, or 20% off. Well worth signing up.

Service is always excellent, visited several times for breakfast. Menu choices are good. Shout out to Jo on the breakfast shift, always looks after us well!

Brilliant food and a lovely hotel above. Stayed for two nights and the room was cosy but very well done with all the normal conveniences. Tried the lamb skewers and the pork belly and both were delicious. Would happily return on my next business trip.

We held a wake at the Calverley Arms for about 50 people and despite the numbers going up and down the staff were really accommodating and helpful . The sandwich spread was brilliant ! Every sandwich tasty and fresh with quality ingredients and the salad and chocolate brownies and pavlova were also a big hit. It was the perfect environment especially after a sad event everyone left full and very happy! A few more people at the bar to serve would have helped initially but even that got sorted once the first rounds were in. Thank you so much to Jo and the team .

We come a lot and Lilly always serves us and it is a pleasure. The roast is fab, I always get the veggie roast and it’s actually filling (rare with a veg roast), the wellington is actually flavourful and not crammed full of dry nuts (often the case at other places). We will continue to come, and continue to hope Lilly serves us :)

Excellent food and excellent service from Dan as always. My favourite local eatery.

Had a lovely meat , our waitress Lilly was fantastic.

Great welcome, service and food

I do like the Calverley Arms. Friendly staff and good value food. It's let down on quality at busy times (but where isn't). However it's good value and it's consistent.

Me and my girlfriend love this place , the staff are lovely and know our order now. Would recommend, such a lovely atmosphere.

Jo is lovely ,friendly, and always a great atmosphere this is our Wednesday routine now. We love it here .

I've no idea why but this place lacks atmosphere. The decor is at total mish mash of styles. Food - average. Service - inconsistent

Visited on Sunday for a birthday meal. The food was really lovely, sunday roast the best I have had for a while. Our server Millie was very attentive,we had brought cake and she was helpful in bringing it out after the meal and throughout. Overall, definitely recommend and will return. Thankyou

I recently booked the Calverley Arms for a family function with 30 guests and extremely delighted with the high quality service provided. We had an area booked in the restaurant with the vintage buffet selection and we were very well looked after by Jo on the day. The food, service and atmosphere was fabulous. Highly recommended.

Lovely service from Millie. Thank you. Always a great Sunday roast here and lots of options for kids.

Food was amazing and Millie was really sweet and attentive. Will be back.

Beautiful meal and great service. Thank you.

Food and service great! Millie was excellent.

The food was delicious, our waitress (lilly) was very professional and was an asset to the Calverley Arms, we enjoyed every minute of the meal, will definitely be visiting again 👌

Always super - worth five stars in every category. Looking forward to going back soon!

Haven’t been to the Calverley Arms for a while. Imogen was very good the food was fine. We will visit again.

An excellent lunch & drink experience at The Calverley Arms, Pudsey on Thursday 13th March. The three of us arrived for a family lunch without making a booking. The staff were all great, especially Jo, who took care of us throughout our lovely meal. We'd enjoyed pre meal drinks of beer & coffee..then chose from the wide ranging menus. The burgers looked fabulous, tasted even better, whilst I enjoyed very special salmon fishcakes. The ice creams & sorbet rounded things off nicely, and I loved my mini dessert & hot drink. All round a great experience and recommend, for both food and quality of service. There were lots of other dishes I was keen to try! Thank you 😊

Excellent service from Jo today. Had a very nice lunch with a friend. Food was very good and Jo was extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.

Stayed here for two nights with my two sons. Felt incredibly safe and will definitely visit again. Room was comfortable and a great size for a family room. The mattress was very firm and the pillows were far too soft. Floor was very creaky but all bedrooms are on 1st floor so I don’t think it bothered anyone out with the room.

Had a lovely meal and used a voucher my husband had received for long service at work Lilly really looked after us and nothing was too much trouble and the fillet steak was excellent and everything was cooked beautifully by Adam and Alex A great evening overall

Lovely food, great service. Xx

Georgia was lovely such wonderful service tonight .

Natasha served us amazingly with such enthusiasm and care. Thank you!

Lovely pub grub! Great warm atmosphere. Special shout out to our server Natasha who was so friendly attentive and polite. 🩷

Natasha was a perfect waitress - very attentive , polite and efficient and made my birthday meal a special night. We will definitely return - thank you

A warm welcome greeted us on arrival at The Calverley Arms and we were seated at a lovely table for two. Many thanks to Joe for giving excellent service during our lunch. She was very helpful with my food intolerance and was very knowledgeable about the name Elwood written into the stone on the wall at the entrance. The food was lovely and value for money with a two or three course lunch option. It’s five years since my last visit but we will be back soon with friends as we would recommend The Calverley Arms to anyone.

Nos gustaría dejar un comentario increíble para Imogen , desde el principio hasta el final de nuestro servicio / comida Imogen se aseguró de que estábamos disfrutando de nuestra comida y se aseguró de que teníamos todo lo necesario, por ejemplo, salsas o más bebidas, etc . Genuinamente una de las personas más dulces y amables que nos han servido me gustaría decir un gran agradecimiento por una velada tan encantadora , mesa 53 en 05 / 03 / 25 7 pm . 10 / 10 la comida era irreal absolutamente excepcional / delicioso No podría recomendarles suficiente libro de defo para tan gran servicio y comida :) .

Excellent meal with family. Lilly was a star!

We had a super starter both having the excellent Calamari. I had the Salmon Fishcakes which we were told was the first day on the menu and they were super. My wife had the Mac and Cheese which was disappointing. Garlic bread was tasteless and the sauce was too thick and not enough of it. It actually looked a starter size. However, we were well looked after by Jo who was very helpful. Notwithstanding the Mac and Cheese we will definitely go again as it is very welcoming and the luncheon menu is of great value.

Lovely welcome, restaurant was toasty warm. Jo our server was polite and helpful. Great meal.

First time visitors to the Calverly Arms. We were greeted as soon as we walked through the door and handed the lunch time offer menu with lots of dishes to chose from. We decided to get 2 courses each for just under £20. We asked Jo for recommendations and the food was spot on! Lovely location, very clean and gorgeous decor. Jo was super! Can't wait to visit again ☺️

Great food. Excellent service. Lovely atmosphere.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit - beautiful food and great service from Olivia.

First rate service great food very warm and cosy

Service at the bar was amazing, your bar manager (Awny) was a good laugh. The young dark head lady at the bar, didn't get her name was polite and friendly. Seated with the in-laws as we had booked, our service from Imagen Was first class. Bit of a problem with my mother in-laws food, chef did come out, break down in communication from kitchen i believe is a true statement. Sorted anyway, thank you.

Thank you to everyone at the Calverley Arms for another lovely stay, we were very well looked after. Previous Stay: Thank you to Catherine and all the rest of the team at the Calverley Arms who were so helpful for the duration of our stay, helping us cope with the chaos of a broken legged toddler and a broken pram. The room was perfect, clean and well provided, with plenty of space for the kids to play, and the food in the pub was delicious. We were made to feel very welcome, and will certainly be returning, if only for the joy of secret puddings to take up to the room after the kids are asleep.

My friends and I had a wonderful time, celebrating my 70th birthday, made better by Millie who was very helpful and really pleasant and made a big difference to our enjoyment.

Lovely place to eat. Always busy. Staff are friendly and attentive. Food is gorgeous. Very tasty and beautifully presented. If I want to be picky, the staff member attending our table forgot to order our drinks initially, but another staff member sorted that out. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning as it's one of our favourite places to eat.

Amazing food and experience. Tasha was on hand and really made the day enjoyable. Thanks for having us

Restaurant spacious and comfortable. Staff very attentive and food a good standard.

Nipped in for lunch one day last weekend. The setting is beautiful (stunning building!) and the staff were all extremely friendly & welcoming. Our meals were all delicious! We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit! Beautiful building, amazing staff, delicious food, and spacious rooms. If I'm in the area, this is the only place I'm going. Also - the roaring fire was both welcome and stunning. Just a fantastic place to visit. Special shout out to the manager Catherine, who was really welcoming and extremely accommodating to one of our group who's a bit of a picky eater!

On our booked Valentines visit, we arrival at 630pm we were seated in the entrance of the restaurant, clearly a table that was an 'add on' to squeeze in as many people as possible, which I can understand for late arrivals or customers that haven't booked! But it was only 630pm and the restaurant was quiet. Starters delicious, but several members of staff walked past our table (as it was the entrance) and didn't even notice we had finished our starter or offered to clear our table so when another waitress arrived with our Chateaubriand there wasn't any room for the food, my husband and I cleared and held up the plates until her hands were free! Plates arrived after with steak knife but no folks, so we had to call over a staff member. Had to call someone over to order a drink then call them back to clear the empty glasses, I appreciate these are small problems, but an accumulation over an hour was quite irritating and disappointing. That said, the food was delicious and steak was cooked perfectly, just a lack of attention to detail at front of house.

Lovely ambience, and service from Jo was very attentive,shall be back

Service and food is great. Jo at breakfast is lovely and makes it feel like home

My visit was on a Sunday, there was ample parking, once inside we were met with a warm welcoming smile, and taken to our table, the menu was selection did not disappoint. The food was delicious with great service.

One word from my best friend and I. Perfect. We love having lunch here because of Jo who always gives us a genuine warm welcome and really looks after us. The food is consistently good. Thank you.

Valentines meal Honestly very pleasantly surprised - menu was a lot less “heavy” which is why we chose it. Service was excellent and not ott. Food was excellent cooked by Danny and Adam and Georgia the server was excellent. Highly recommend and great value!

Served by Georgia, excellent service and polite. Food was okay.

Millie was helpful and friendly, couldn’t have asked for better service! There was a vegetarian option (stuffed butternut squash) that was on the Valentines menu when we booked but wasn’t on the menu when got there which was disappointing but the mushroom risotto was lovely. Lemon tart is the best dessert we’ve both had in a while!

Food was lovely and fast. Awny gave us great service, very friendly and prompt.

The food was delicious, the starters, mains, and desserts , we all walked away saying how good it was and would go back . The staff were on the ball , very polite and spoilt the little ones .

As a coeliac I would like to thank Jo for her care and patience when we came for the first time on 11.2.25 - we had a wonderful time , great food and excellent service - I felt very safe and we will definitely be back. Please pass on my grateful thanks to Jo - kind regards

Good portions, tasty food, Natasha was great serving us :) thanks for our lovely Sunday lunch

Wonderful visit today with my mum. The food was delicious, the friendly service from Lilly was amazing, and the whole visit was delightful. Thank you to Lilly for being so lovely!

Jo - what an amazing person Wish more were like her

Food was fantastic and was served quickly and with a friendly smile from Jo 😀

Great food and atmosphere. Service from Jo was exceptional, warm, welcome and friendly. Great Sunday dinner, very much enjoyed.

Lovely food and good service, thank you, Jo

Just a beautiful, relaxing weekend spent at The Calverley Arms. Great warm welcome and service, we'll definitely be back! Thank you Millie for adding to the great experience!

Fantastic stay and breakfast! Jo was so welcoming and looked after us all!

It was a ‘ok’ meal - unfortunately when your spending 80-100 pounds for two people you expect more these days ! The heating was on full pelt and it made it uncomfortable to eat as we were right next to the radiator- I’d like to say our waitress was lovely chatty and a joy to be served by ! Lovely clean nicely decorated surroundings too .

We were in the private room and it was so good food was amazing😊👍

Great Sunday lunch, the staff ate friendly, and helpful helpful. Ryan was on the bar, he was brilliant. Thank you.

Natasha was excellent. The service was great. Made us fill welcome. All bar staff was great. The food was amazing. Thanks for everything.
