The Cuthbert Brodrick in Leeds

A large, airy and light-filled pub (for a change) with plenty of outside seating near the City Museum- a short hop from culture to chaos! The young workers were efficient, very hard-working and helpful. What is distinctive about this place (and its saving-grace) is that it has a sufficient number of students to keep the place on an ‘even keel’ (for example, talk of Trump’s superior IQ is, mercifully, rare). TOP TIPS: (1) choose outside or gallery seating for a relatively blissful experience ; (2) in general, choose a Spoons having a reasonably high proportion of students (albeit with a modicum of immaturity and ‘lively’ behaviour). In this way, relative sanity and intellect may well prevail.

Horrendous experience. Shift manager should definitely have nothing to do with the public.

A busy town centre witherspoon , a pint of soft juice cordial orange is 0.75p which i find expensive. Great boozer.

Great Service was busy but there were enough friendly & professional staff. Great Wetherspoons.

Really great time here !! Me and my group had a few halloween night out drinks which was made great by Madeline (made sure to get her name!) sorted out a technical issue super quick and was lovely overall!! thank you so much :)

Went here for a few drinks a server called madeline saw the price was incorrect in till and got her manager to come help with the price. Made it feel like the staff care about the customers. Thank you very much, madeline!!

Madeline was extremely helpful when serving us even though it was very busy! thank you Madeline! <3

Not a great choice of ale this time...

Very fast service even though it was very busy , lots of choices to drink , good atmosphere.

Sat outside in the sunshine ,real ale was up there in quality. I had the fish and chips be prepared for a small portion.

My chicken strips was reheated and one was freshly cooked

Great value very tight for space when busy

It's a wetherspoons. They're all the same. Decent food. Nice place to relax. Most of the food dining is done upstairs.

Popped in for drinks. Good busy atmosphere & cheap drinks.

Good pub to enjoy company and a drink

Food bland but staff very good and helpful.

This could be my new fave place

Good food. Great beer. Friendly efficient staff. Keep up the good work Tim

Grat for any occasion and drink prices unbeatable!

Great evening out.. good staff, clean and tidy venue.

Food fairly basic but extremely good value, as are the drinks. Wetherspoons do a great job of making their pubs look great and keeping the prices diwn

Been here several times and service is always great. A marvelous selection of real ales on offer, plus other drinks, all at reasonable prices.

A good selection of beers . Good value. Nice terrace area. Convenient for the o2 venue.

Great little spoons. We stopped in for a quick pint or two before getting married!

Excellent selection of beer at a reasonable price. Good pub grub ridiculously cheap and includes a premium drink.

Great place to watch the world go by

Great night for the price nice weather helped

Vile food, rude service and unclean. Even by wetherspoon standards avoid

After a early morning walk this was a lovely place for a lite breakfast of scrambled eggs and coffee. Good service and excellent food.

You can't stand outside with a drink.

Sat out in the sun with a lovely bottle of wine which was very reasonably priced. Service was efficient and nice and friendly.

A typical Wetherspoons, functional and cheap.

Very busy due to a gig in Millenium Square so nowhere to sit. Pretty standard Wetherspoons. Good but not great.

One of my favourite Wetherspoons. We frequently eat here when gigging in Leeds. The gig was in Millennium Square and this is right next to it. It's close to O2 academy and not far from First Direct Arena. It's often quite busy but it's always nice to get a table.

Ordered benedict breakfast big disappointment eggs yolks are set supposedly runny but they are set almost hard boiled eggs

Very poor service only interested in on line orders

Sat outside in the sun watching the world.

Lovely weatherspoons, very friendly staff great atmosphere

It's got a good atmosphere we come here all the time and the food is great and the staff are excellent

Love this pub for a few drinks Saturday afternoons, gets really busy at times but not long before get a table, people of all ages and not many young kids

Sun terrace is great place for a pint after work. Food is good, although the portion sizes seem to be getting smaller 🤔

Was a good vibe and would definitely go again, didn't have food so can't review it.

V busy and no room to sit outside sadly

Typical spoons , no better or worse than any other Spoons

Service was swift and good! I wasn’t sure if they’d open early because it was a bank holiday. The large breakfast tasted so good, i loved it 😍. I enjoyed the orange juice lemonade. The ambiance was so lovely and quiet in the morning 🤫 I don’t know what the evenings will look like. I recommend! 😋

Good clean modern spoons. Next to pop world aswel 👍

After eating here I was toilet bound for a few days. Bar is typically a spoons bar so quite good however, avoid the food.

Fish and chips are very tasty and there is a promotion for a beer set. A huge plus for the bartender who made a mistake to my detriment and when I was sitting at the table eating fish he brought the difference in the money he made a mistake

Only a stone's throw for the equally excellent Headley Herity....this one's modern, and the loos are immaculate

Came in to Leeds recently and before checking in to our hotel me and my husband decided to grab a meal and a drink. We ordered over the app which is super simple and gives you table service. I had fish and chips and my husband had a mixed grill, staff were super friendly but rushed off their feet. Unfortunately the meals didn’t come together and I had pretty much finished my meal before my husbands had even come, the staff member was very apologetic and it wasn’t his fault just something to point out for the future. Would return again when in the area, good value for money.

They have done up the toilets and are brilliant. The food has always been good.

ANOTHER OUTSTANDING " SPOONS"..ive been to a few around the uk..pitty martin is closing so many..but keep going..never disapointed

I hate to say this but..... ... It's not a bad pub! They have a good range of beers including local cask options. The food is consistently good, not anything to write home about but good. Excellent value for money.

Good food, nice atmosphere, reasonably priced. What more could you ask for?

5 of us went to eat... Got a round of drinks... Didn't stay... No gents toilets!!! It said to share the ladies. I don't think so... Not downstairs in that dark corridor... Just asking for TROUBLE! I as a woman did not want that.. And the guys weren't pleased about it. So we drank up and left.

Good food and drink. But awful toilets. No separate toilets .

Need more bar staff especially when there are bands on at the arena. Took a while to get served. Friendly bar staff. Nice outside seating area.

Took our daughter to an open day at Leeds University, a short walk up the road. After an exhausting an extraordinarily tedious stroll around the campus, we decided upon lunch at The Cuthbert Brodrick. Still bored from the University tour, we took a table in the pub, expecting the place to be rammed to the rafters. What with countless families wandering aimlessly around the Uni, the pub seemed like a natural choice. Fortunately for us, we could imagine that most of those families had been bored to death, or were still there days after we left. Very few made their way to the Cuthbert, thankfully. We'd seen more than enough 18 year old students with more flesh on show than a strip club. Strutting their stuff trying make their mark and impress the lads, all with impeccable facial hair and heavily moisturised skin. Aah, the future... Anyway, the pub was very nice indeed, considering. The food hit the spot, two all day breakfasts and a chicken burger, couldn't really go wrong. And they didn't, it was lovely. Took our minds off the morning. Leeds Uni rejected my daughter as well, so they can do one. The pub up the road was good though.

Two of us went. The staff looked really looked out for us. The only drawback was there was no lift to go upstairs. Service was fast and the food was good.

Good food and drinks I've not had the food but friends say it's nice

Hubby and friends went in today for a liquid lunch, before they ordered he went to the loo. Apparantly the gents toilets were absolutely filthy, so they left and went to Beckets Bank instead.

Good location overlooking attractive square in Leeds City centre. Large outside terrace for sunshine lunches and drinks. Great prices and quick attentive service. The deal offered is hard to beat.

Great pub in a modern style, excellent beers

Had a pleasant meal and drink here before going to see a band at o2 academy, it's only 2 minutes walk away from the academy too.

Loud voices is my only issue with a spoons, food and alcohol always top notch. Lovely ginger barmaid on the Saturday. As usual a great place for a chat, some food and a pint before hitting the other bars

first aid staff inept every thing else is great

Big shout out to the guys and gals working paddy's day they were great under such busy conditions 👍

Been several times visiting my daughter in Leeds nice pub

I sometimes come here with my toddler and we always get great service. The staff are thoughtful and considerate, I've had staff offer to get me a coffee from the machine because he could see I had my hands full with my toddler. I was in today and was really pleased that the staff sorted out my breakfast order after my toddler pressed buttons on my phone when I was ordering, then they brought out a set of children's cutlery even though I hadn't ordered a kids meal, they just thought ahead I was so impressed. Big thank you to the lovely staff.

Food was hot and quick. Lovely sunny day to sit outside after an appointment to the hospital.

Fish'n'chips and a couple of Shipyard Ales after a long walk round some of the older sights in town.

Lovely pub to visit when it’s nice and sunny to sit outside over the millennium square. Staff very friendly and chatty. Nice views in the veranda and sun is always in your face. No noise at all in the afternoo Definitely would recommend this pub in the nice weather to come and for a drink

Best spoons in Leeds by a country mile.

Staff are so good and helpful, lovely atmosphere, food and drink excellent

Brilliant little place to go for food and drink in the middle-of-the-city .

Lovely place to chill have a drink and a chat with friends. Food not too bad highly recommended.

Nice bar Awful service. Had to repeat my food order and table number to staff member 3 times who simply wasn't listening. Ordered steak well done. Presented at the table practically raw. Will think twice before returning.

It's a 🥄 🥄 😉 nothing more to say 👌

Stephan was an amazing host and made us feel very welcome. He had extremely good local knowledge and was very happy to share. So pleased to meet him!

It's a Spoons, you know what a Spoons is like. A bit too lagery and IPA-y for me but any pretty on a storm.

It was all good. The only problem was the loud football fans, singing and shouting. It was football day, so not the bar fault, I guess.

Decent enough Spoons that wasn’t too busy.

Upstairs was fine, but the gents toilet door locks were broken, which is unacceptable. No privacy.

Good beer and the food is as expected from Wetherspoons

Not the best way spoons in leedsneefs tiding up refavamping very old looking to many doors that open in winter making pub very cold why fo uou want sit in a cold pub0

Cheap spot for a nice night out

It's a spoons, nice location in summer overlooking Millennium Square, also a good place to pre load before a gig round the corner

It's a Wetherspoons so pretty similar to every other, but good location and friendly staff.

Nice place. Very good food and service, particularly polite chap. Very quiet due I think to the weather

Good selection of drinks and good service. The quality of the food and presentation could be better.

Fish and chips still not available. We used to love going there for family lunch. Still other menu options are reasonably priced and delicious. Suggestion - place need proper cleaning - tables including the carpet.

Nice Spoons overlooking Millenium Square in Leeds

Very disappointed with the real ale offer, only 2 available. The steak was very tough and gristly and the chips were diabolical. They had obviously been fried for a second time and virtually uneatable. The person who first served our drinks was very surly and was very unhappy when I asked for my drink topping up. Overall not a particularly pleasant experience. The Wetherspoons in Shipley is much better.

After being to numerous Wetherspoons expected mediocre food at a low price. Food was really good great portion size for children as well

Overcrowded and had No disabled access to the upstairs the only access was by two staircases at either end the pub was already full downstairs and I had to take my walking frame upstairs and downstairs which is difficult when staff are trying to deliver drinks it was also noisy as the tables wercrammeded to get her for maximum profit that pub is worse the the stuck and twist for noise levels

Fajny local super sprawna obsluga za barem

It's a Wetherspoon's. You know what to expect.

Lovely breakfast and coffee served promptly after fasting for an early appointment at LGI. Disappointed I couldn't have apple crumble and custard with my breakfast but maybe a little early 🤣🤣

Like this place, convenient location for the city centre, nice beer and usually somewhere to sit. Offers some great beers and the staff are lovely.

Always a popular bar with seating on two levels. Wheelchair accessible and very well looked after. Very attentive staff and drinks and food great with good selections of both. Outdoor seating area available which is a suntrap. Lovely location on Millennium Square.
