Went for a (hopefully) quiet drink tonight and was appalled by what I found. Found 3 members of staff helping themselves to drinks (including shots) also found the same 3 members of staff using cocaine!! There was several mentions of deals (cocaine) mentioned through the night. Safe to say I was horrified and will not be visiting again. This public house needs to be shut down and fast!!!

Los domingos todo el día el nivel de ruido es ridículo en la zona. Escandalizar el domingo para cualquiera que no quiera sentarse en un pub.

Visited this place quiet a few times now and I can honestly say that it is my favourite place to drink in Leeds. A beautifully restored pub, clean and fab beer garden. The bar staff are a credit to the all the hard work and love that the Landlady obviously puts in. Brilliant!!

We took advantage of the 2 meals offer. We didn't expect much but were blown away with the quality and generous portions. Love to go back to Leeds just for the food. Good service too. very pleasant and welcoming.

Enjoyed a really nice Sunday lunch, with generous portions at a reasonable price, lots of other options on the menu which we'll definitely go back and try from. The interior was clean but not particularly pleasantly decorated, definitely just a pub serving food.

All for getting behind local businesses, but this one just isn't quite there yet. We found it very cold and completely lacking in atmosphere (we were the only table and there was an awkward 1 minute silence between every song). The management were friendly but uncompromising... As a uneven number ordering from the 241 menu, we requested to swap our 6th meal for a side and were prepared to pay full price - but no! Instead they insisted on cooking an entire wasted main course - weird. Once they've cosied this place up a bit it might be worth another try. Or maybe just take 20 friends and fill the place up a bit?

With a couple of hours to kill in this area, we wanted a pub lunch and found this place on Trip Advisor. The reviews were a great help and we can confirm the positive right ups. The food was wonderful, and very well presented, the staff were friendly and helpful. We will be going back to work our way through the menu. Definitely recommended. Excellent value.

Visited here today with my friend after reading good reviews and passing it almost every day! It was quite quiet so we went in and immediately ordered to cokes and sat at a table in the corner. We both decided what we wanted and I had the steak pie with chips and my friend had the lasagna- they were both amazing! I can't believe the food is so good at such a good price, the staff were really friendly too! Will definitely be returning :)

Family day out and deciding to stop off for lunch!!! We pulled in at the engine and got seated straight away near the open fire. The pub it self is immaculately clean, the staff can't do enough for you and very family friendly !!!Now the food ... It's amazing the chef him self came out to see if we had enjoyed our food , by the looks of our plates he could tell we had lol I had the surf n turf which was massive fresh king prawns in garlic delicious... My partner had the gelapeno burger which also wis big, fresh and also tasted amazing on a fresh brioch bun ... All I can say is go and find out your selfs you will not be disappointed xxx

Tried this resteraunt after a family friend recommended it and I was not to be disappointed, Julie and Andy (the chef) were perfect hosts, the food was some of the best I have tasted outside the city center and I definafley recommend the pulled pork burger and fries, bit out of the way but definitely not to be disappointed.

I live locally and have tried the engine in the past. After reading reviews here I thought we would give it a try on a Friday night. We had the trio of sliders and with 2 for 1 a total food cost of £7.50 for both of us felt like we were robbing them. The burgers were amazing and they come with huge fries and a lovely balsamic dressed salad. Completely delicious and I can't believe that it wasn't busier.Will defiantly go back.One suggestion would be to replace the stools with chairs.Service was exceptional and couldn't ask for more.

Went for my daughters birthday yesterday, we were customers under the old management who sadly let standards fall. I saw it was under new management and read the reviews on here and thought why not give another try and we were not disappointed the food was really well turned out and the service was excellent. My compliments to the chef, we will return.

Saw this pub on trip advisor recently and thought we would give it a try. Why hadn't we tried it before? Brilliant! There's a real lack of pubs selling decent freshly cooked food in the area but this is a little gem. There's a big menu with lots of choice. We went at lunch time; I had a pulled pork baguette with chips and my husband had a homemade jalapeño burger. It was all lovely and we would recommend a visit.

Visited here regularly got to say it as never disappointed excellent service fantastic food (great portions) and really good value for money.My partner on the last occasion had the mixed grill at £13.50 and I had the spaghetti with mushrooms and Stilton £7.00 and it was Delish Previously we have had steak pie & lasagne which also hits the spot.10/10 to this pub and makes it all the better that it's at end of our street.Just make sure you go early for a Sunday lunch as it's very popular and sells out very quick.Only bad thing that I feel could be dealt with better is some of the regulars swear a lot and I feel this could be dealt with.I rave to everyone about this place but because of the foul language a few haven't returned.

My wife and I called for lunch at The Engine couple of weeks ago. The staff were all friendly. I have to honestly say that the sausage and mash I had was probably the best that I have tasted, and the onion gravy was delicious.My wife had a pulled pork Panini and she thoroughly it too.Many thanks for an enjoyable meal.John & Susan

Live closeby and decided to go for sunday lunch after seeing the reviews on tripadvisor. It cost £33 for 4 of us to have lunch and drinks. Which we thought was really good value. Had my one year old with us and staff were very good getting her a high chair and didnt seem to mind that she ate her own food (plus some of ours). The negatives were that the menus were sticky, and could do with a wipe down. I did also wipe down the high chair. However, everything else seemed fairly clean (although its not the poshes of places). The yorkshire puds were REALLY burnt but my very fussy sister said the rest of the sunday lunch was good (which is real praise).I would go back again.

We visited on a lunch time purely on the strength of the Tripadvisor reviews. There won't be many other ways they pick up trade. For the initiated, Hunslet is an area of Leeds that you generally drive past on the way in and out of the city centre. There aren't many reasons to stop there and it's definitely not a place you would stroll around. It is just round the corner from Middleton Railway though, which is an eternally popular family attraction. I feel for the proprietors because the food was absolutely top notch, the best you could possibly expect in a pub. The menu is extensive and great value. I would be interested to know their background because the whole set up is professional and well rehearsed. It's just surprising to find it on a back street in an undesirable part of Leeds when it surely could compete anywhere. I wouldn't say it was somewhere we would take the kids, but we will definitely go back.

Working in South Leeds and often in a position needing to take business clients to lunch it has been almost impossible to find a suitable quiet location which serves good quality food without trailing into the City centre. Discovering The Engine tucked away in a quiet corner of Hunslet has proved an ideal venue and I am convinced the excellent meals here have helped seal a few business deals. My favourites are the range of steaks - always perfectly cooked to order. This place deserves to do well and deserves you patronage!

We use this pub regular as a family.It is warm and very welcoming.The food is amazing especially the mixed grill and homemade fish and chips.There is nice large portions which will satisfy anybodys appetite.The service is excellent and is more than the standard of your usual pub food.Well done to Andy and Julie who have turned this pub into something more than your average place to have something to eat and drink.Kids are more than welcome as they have a nice sized beer garden.I would recommend this pub to anyone with family or friends. A five star rating been to many restaurants which have not been as good as this.

Better than average pub fair. Reasonable service and well priced. I think it's not long been under new management and you can see the improvement from previous owners. Plenty of people in and the service was attentive if not a little amateur, but I think they are still working things out. Well worth a try, the food is good.

Just called in for a bite to eat to this great pub tucked out of the way.Have to say not what we were expecting. From entering the bar we were great in warm friendly manner. The bar staff could not be more helpful, had a look at the menu and made our choices garlic mushrooms to start that were delicious. My wife opted for a plain burger that came with a side salad and chunky chips, the hone made burger was great served in a brioche bun that was a little different. I had spaghetti with stilton and mushrooms the best spaghetti dish I've had for a long time. Safe to say we will definitely be eating there again. Julie and Andy are really doing a great job, 5 stars definitely. Keep up the good work guys.

we went to The Engine on saturday 12 july for a family dinner. it was our first tim since the new people took over. unfortunately the prawn starter was sold out but the double helping of creamy garlic mushrooms was superb. all the main courses were great, steaks cooked correcly, and sides well prepared. my mixed grill was one of the best i've had in ages. all the portions were so big nobody cleared their plates and alas could not attempt the desserts. the beers were ice cold, a god send on a hot evening. all in all a smashing evening and a very reasonably price

We were bowled over by the food served in this pub. Andy and Julie are the perfect hosts and the food is bordering top restaurant cuisine. A lot of thought has gone into the presentation and menu. I had the liver with garlic mash - it exceeded all my expectations. Do not pass this pub by, make an effort to go in and sample the food. Fantastic value for money.

Enjoyed a very nice meal in the sunshine, with my folks. I had the steak and jalapeño burger which was well cooked and came with some lovley fresh salad and chips. The portions were generous so much so I couldn't finish! It's been many years since I last went to The Engine and it has changed in all the right places, the friendly local vibe remains but the decor, menu and service have all vastly improved. Really enjoyed my evening.

Having tried and failed to secure a table for 9 in Penzance we called the engine inn and were told 'no problem'. When we arrived the table was already set and we were soon sat with drinks and delicious food. Good menu choice with a separate kids menu meant there was something for everyone. Excellent quality and generous portions = great value for money.

Welcome to Andy and Julie who have just taken over the Engine Inn as of Good Friday last week. You can tell they have put some money into the place, it has a warm welcoming atmosphere, they have removed the 'booths' making more floor space, and glad to see they have removed that horrible curtain thing around the WC entrances,(as it was quite dangerous, people kept walking into the metal works on it.. Very friendly and inviting. We have been in a couple of times now since it opened and eaten on both occasions. Can highly recommend the Leek and Potato soup. Fish and Chips are absolutely gorgeous and I love mushrooms in garlic cream sauce and OMG they are to die for!!!!!!! and for the first time in a long time you actually get a decent size portion of them. They have changed the menu, it is small and basic, but you know what..... it works and there is enough to choose from. The portions are just right, not too small and not too big. I hope it works out for them, because they seem very friendly and keen to please. Can't wait for summer to sit out in the garden and enjoy a drink or 4.... ;). Well here's looking to a prosperous future for them and a decent 'local' for folks to go. GOOD LUCK ANDY AND JULIE.

Best fried egg north of the Severn Estuary! Recently moved to Somerset but wanted to show off my Leeds credentials to my other half. Tribeca City Cafe fulfilled all expectations with a superb full English breakfast and coffees to match, all served promptly with refined professionalism. Had a friendly chat with the owner who definitely deserves your custom if you're anywhere nearby. If you can find your way to the magnificent Leeds Town Hall then this superb basement gem of a cafe is only a few yards away. Extra tables at street level also if the sun shines. You won't be disappointed!
