The Head of Steam Headingley in Leeds

Awesome place, amazing service and great atmosphere! Plus the staff aren’t half bad either (And secret rock bar if you listen hard enough)

Great service by Shannon and good range of drink available highly recommend

I have visited this pub many times, and Shannon is the most hard working member of staff that you have, and is always so attentive.

Lovely staff. Special mention to char who catered to all our needs

Staff are lovely shout out to shar and Jenna , great vibe to watch the marathon LOVE LEEDS

They were very kind to us and let us keep a glass. Lovely place for a Friday night drink!

Such a lovely pub with incredibly friendly staff!

Chris serviced us and was amazing. Super friendly and super quick which is brilliant for a lunch break. It’s a weekly hangout now

Great service, food, drinks, Chris the barman was fantastic

best pub in leeds good vibes all round

Excellent choice of beers, staff were really helpful. Lovely pub and a nice vibe

Ordered a take away and received 1/3 of them. They put my call on hold several times. At the end didn't managed to get through. I sorted the order out through delivero and guess what? After hours waiting, we received AGAIN only part of our order. Ridiculous.

I took my nephews here today as i have eaten at a few slap n pickle places over the last few years and have always been a great experience unlike todays. Upon arrival we ordered drinks all good here ,then asked to order food and the menu was limited due to Bank Holiday madness ,again that was fine and understandable although it is now tuesday and orders do arrive today as i am also in this trade and have been for 30 years ,so all should be fresh and stocked up ? , ok so the food came fairly quickly ,chips hot ,light n crispy beautiful ! , cheese bites slightly soggy as would be better to serve the sauce at the side so they stay crispy as some people prefer them as they are, hot n crispy ,and finally the burger ... patties were way way thinner than normal and tasted sour ... overall i felt the chef hadn`t placed an order last night and had no produce so made use of what he had left from the weekend ,anyway this needs investigating by slap n pickle because head of steam aint holding your standards! i wont be going back .....

Absolutamente terrible comida. Bastante caro para los tamaños de las porciones también. Los aros de cebolla parecían de hace 3 días. Ni siquiera podía contener las hamburguesas ya que tan viscosas y grasientas 🤮 terminaron tirando. Como Gordon Ramsay dijo una vez "han usado tanto petróleo que América está tratando de invadir el plato" Nunca más 🙄

Since slap and pickle have come in the food is really overpriced for what it is and they never have the vegan options

£11.20 for a single Gin and Tonic. This place is a rip off and a joke. Even the bartender was ashamed. Would love to hear how the management can justify that??

I thought the food was AMAZING I also liked how they had gluten free buns for the burgers and the atmosphere was great would recommend 10 out of 10

Good variety of beer, good games room upstairs

Great atmosphere friendly staff

Lovely pub with some very nice burgers.

Gran lugar con personal muy amable. Gritar a Riley, Andy, Shannon, Hannah, Char, Alice realmente recomiendo lugar de ambiente en Headingley

The Head of Steam offering the Slap and Pickle Menu is a joy. Great food, great drinks and many different forms of entertainment.

Chips let the side down in regards to the food and a complete lack of vinegar

Great food, wide drink selection and really friendly service. Bar games available upstairs.

La última vez en Headingly, fuimos a un par de sitios (roble viejo y el bar arcadia) donde nos engañamos 'no está tan mal'. Esta vez, pensamos en probar el vapor para una bebida y nos quedamos toda la noche. Cuatro horas después y después de haber probado 10 bebidas diferentes y 2 cócteles entre nosotros, tuvimos una velada épica. La música que sonaba era como escuchar kerrang TV antes de ser asesinado (paramás, vengarse siete veces, monos del Ártico, Franz Ferdinand etc) , junto a un músico acústico en vivo tocando durante una hora. Arriba, jugamos al shuffleboard, había dardos y una mesa de billar. La gran cosa son tanto la épica gama de cervezas artesanales disponibles y el personal del bar maravillosamente educado y atractivo (Alice y Tanya) que les sirvió. Ambos fueron cómplices en proporcionar una experiencia fantástica. Si estás en esta zona, te sugiero que olvides a los pretendientes al trono y vayas aquí. Lucharás por decepcionarte a menos que seas filisteo o imbécil.

Early evening meet up with family. Great place, good vibe, Oktoberfest menu was good and great choice of beers.

Really nice bar, great selection of drinks, banging music

The slap and pickle burgers are good but they're not great

Great food Accepts dogs no problem Lovely atmosphere

REVIEW FOR SLAP & PICKLE ONLY: Pretty expensive for what it is. The tub of cheese sauce was bland and did not taste of cheese. There's better (and way cheaper) places to eat in Headingley.

lovely staff, great atmosphere!

Bonito pub con una muy buena selección de cerveza y un miembro del personal muy servicial y otro (mayor, cola de caballo) que no tiene sentido del humor y envía a un joven de 23 años a correr a casa bajo la lluvia para conseguir su 3a pinta y no me advierte que la cerveza que acabo de pedir cuesta £ 7 cada uno

I had the best burger 🍔 I have eaten infact I have never tasted anything that good, & I have had allot of burgers, absolutely next level. Staff are kind & friendly 5 STAR 🌟

Just popped in for a different kind of ale

Lovely pint of Peroni very nice bar

Al llegar dijimos en qué mesa estábamos, al llegar a la mesa ya estaba ocupada. Volviendo al bar nos pidieron que escogiéramos otra mesa. He pagado 20 libras por el privilegio de reservar una mesa, sí, sale de la cuenta, pero podría haber entrado si ese fuera el caso. La comida era buena, las hamburguesas se veían y sabían muy bien. Una buena noche podría haber sido mejor servicio

Always have a cracking time here. Fresh and interesting types of beer, great crowd and plenty of games upstairs. Have to make a stop here if in headingley.

This pub let three of us in, one of us went back out to get a vape and the bouncer would not let him back in, the bub was less than half full, he was sober, we had just been to the cricket, we had to give he's pint away, what a joke.

Cracking pub, good beer, friendly staff, really good music

A great service and food... pleasantly surprised 😮

Didn't eat at the venue Service was quick Nice atmosphere inside.

£6.80 for a pint is actually miserable

Only had drinks but what a great range

Enjoyed a pint and some GORGEOUS Slap and Pickle grub! Well worth the hour and half drive to finally try the food! We ordered the Smokey bun burger, onion rings side and the chicken Kiev sharer fries! And was Absolutely gorgeous!!! and we will definitely visiting again such a good atmosphere, lovely friendly staff too!! If you haven’t already tried the Slap and pickle food honestly get yourself there!!!!

Poor spirit/drinks choice. Same with mixers.

Good selection of beers. Food good value. A bit on the expensive side, but still cheaper than in Headingley stadium, which was 50% more expensive!

Nice atmosphere on a Friday night, good service, wide choice of beers and lots of vegan options on the menu. Wouldn’t bother with the cocktails though, amaretto sour and margarita were pretty naff. Would come back for beer though.

Very busy, studenty pub, no real ale. Not going again No no

Wasn't a fan of the food, although there was plenty to eat, was overcooked and rather bland,. Can't knock the staff, location and vibe, great selection of beers etc.

Hi great place, enjoyed the food beer.Good service thanks

A transformed night club that worked very well. The decor & service has improved. A relaxing bar for Headingley residents & visitors. Toilets upstairs.

Friday 3rd May 2024 Today, we had a great hand pumped pint of real ale in this tremendous 2 floored real ale pub. There were 7 handpumps on Today all were well kept some interesting ales from small breweies The staff today was lovely and friendly, and she knew her job well. The local following were predominantly real ale drinkers The 10% CAMRA discount was the final cherry on the cake to make it impossible for me not to give this grand real ale pub 5 stars yoday

Great place, staff are lovely, friendly & welcoming. The manager is a really nice guy. Had the pepperoni pizza, it was gorgeous, will definitely return for another. Fantastic choice of beers. One thing that could be improved is the state of the chairs, definitely need recovering, very threadbare. Think the brewery needs to spend some money on this, otherwise lovely bar.

Pleasant atmosphere pub, short walk from cricket ground. Friendly, welcoming staff, always ready to talk about beers. Good place to watch the world go by. Beer quality and choice decent, without being outstanding.

Excellent vegan food and friendly and approachable staff. Good weekly pub quiz with Jonny.

Great night, very friendly pub with brilliant bar staff

Cracking find, didn't realise it was there.They have a good selection of beers. Popped in for a drink and ended up staying for a another! The young lady that served us was fantastic.

Great pub, we did not try the food but they had an extensive selection of tasty beer and everything we tasted was great. Highly recommended

Love this oasis of calm in the madness of the Otley run. Friendly service too!

This is a popular and atmospheric watering hole in pleasant surroundings with helpful staff. Their prices are a little too high though.

Nice place for a Sunday evening chill Would have stayed longer, but we had to meet friends.

Great range of drinks and bar games upstairs

Quickly turning into my favourite pub in Headingley, good food, great beer, and the staff are extremely friendly. Lovely atmosphere.

Delicious food with plenty of vegan options. Really filling as well. I got the vegan club pizza and it was genuinely amazing! The atmosphere was lovely too, and they had a really good playlist on. Free games too which was fun! Service was a bit slow at times, but I don't mind really as it's a nice place to chill and at leaat it means the food isn't just microwaved like some places. The staff were really friendly too Definitely plan to come back here. Can't believe I've been living less than a 5 and a half minute walk from this place for over a year and a half and never been. Would absolutely recommend

Lovely place, great food and service ! amazing price too, got 2 meals with drinks for £22 total 😁

Very friendly staff who are more than happy to help with beer choices, samples etc. Place looks great with games upstairs and nice big screens showing what beers are on.

Really good selection of pints on tap- a couple you know and lots you don't so it's a great place to branch out, but you've still got a security pint

Great real ale pub, just wish I could have sampled more of them 😩. Food was OK. Great relaxed vibe with a singer on too, enjoyed the night

Good selection of beers on tap, including Erdinger. The pizza was really tasty and pretty quick. Atmosphere on a weeknight in mid Dec was lively as you might expect.

Didn't have food, but looked good

Great selection of bevs, friendly service, and one of the best vegan kebabs I've ever had.

Food was great, music was great and service was great too. Upstairs games are great too. Will definitely be coming back

Good music, good food and great service. Definitely will be back.

Good vibes, good food, friendly staff!

Very busy on a Saturday night and took ages to get served. Good range of beers.

Food was awful. When. I complained the person working ate from my plate and said "it's always like that" and put the plate back. Totally disgusting. Avoid.

Nice pub with a fun pub quiz but the food leaves much to be desired

A lovely place and a good pub quiz. I would recommend getting there early for the quiz

Jam-packed, pre-rugby, fast service, fabulous beer selection, what more can I say? I'd love to come back when it wasn't as manic; the drinks selection is outstanding, and I thought it made a good reason to come to Headingly and an even better one to stay. Cheers and thanks.

Fantastic pub, great beer and food, very enjoyable

Had drinks with friends here nice decor and a good vibe, bit pricey for drinks but worth a visit

The staff are very helpful and a good pint of Guinness.

Top place, good for a night out

Clean tidy establishment! Good value for money 💷

Busy bar and an amazing selection of ales 🍺

Amazing food, brilliant and attentive staff, definitely recommend 👌

Only called in for a pint,but great place,full of students

Been here a few times now loved it both times. Enough on the menu to please all.

Great atmosphere and well priced drinks, shuffle board available upstairs if you book in advance.

Good space and good beer. Live music last Thursday with a jazz guitarist - good atmosphere

Called in here while the students were away. Large pub with a good range of ales. Friendly bar-man. Very quiet when we visited, early afternoon.

Great selection of beers. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Went for lunch. Pleasantly surprised as I'd been past a few times but not called in.

Really friendly staff. Good food and nice beer selection. What's not to like!

Lovely place for a quiet drink on a hectic Saturday!

Love going here with our dog. Great food, drinks and awesome atmosphere.

Love head of steam, love the vegan scran.Not sure about the Otley run lot though

Didn't eat but what a great atmosphere and great staff

Food was disappointing I'm afraid

Beer great, service great, been a few time, love the place.
