The Inn At Scarcroft in Leeds

Excellent food purchased with nice atmosphere Always nice staff and can't fault the service

We went for Mothers Day and it was a massive let down. Some of the food was so tough it was inedible as you couldn't get a fork or knife into it. The service was slow, it took 3 hours and we gave up after 2 courses then the bill was challenging to get and sort out as it was wrong and we were forgotten about again after trying to get it amended. Steer clear is my advice.

I was looking forward to a nice 3 course Mothers Day lunch today at The Inn. Arrived 15 minutes early. There was no one to welcome us or show us to our table so stood for 10 minutes at the bar. We had to ask to be seated whilst the bartender eventually served us. Waited another half an hour with the set menu to choose from then, as no one came to take our order, went back to the bar to see what the delay was. Was told the waitress would be there in a moment. Finally ordered about 45 minutes after arriving, but 20 minute’s later there was no sign of our starters. There were only 2 waitresses and a couple of bartenders. They didn’t seem to be working as a team though. Tables had been left uncleared and we never saw any food being delivered to anyone else whilst we were seated. There was a definite air of ‘couldn’t care less’ about the place. Decided not to even bother staying when we heard the people sitting at the next table say they’d been there 3 hours and were still awaiting dessert! We informed the manager we were leaving due to the appalling service. He seemed not to care one way or another at the loss of custom. Totally disappointed by this experience and would have left no stars if I could. Ended up going home and having a takeaway pizza instead. So much for my Mother’s Day treat!!

Came here yesterday evening to meet with a couple of friends. I thought we'd try somewhere out of our normal area. It was slightly busy when we arrived so decent atmosphere. Approached the bar to be served and had to wait due to the queue. Me and my friend were waiting and a gentleman who queued up after us got served before us yet we were there before him. Then we went to order food. Again, waiting in line and a woman got served before us and the youngish lass working behind the bar knew we were there before hand yet chose to serve that woman 1st. Nevertheless, we waited a good 40+ mins for our food to arrive. Food was ok. Nothing special. My friend then went to the bar to order a last round of drinks, nobody was at the bar for a good 10mins. The youngish girl came from wherever and was provided with the drinks order but seemed baffled by it. I normally never leave reviews but yesterday's experience had led me to leave this one.

Fabulous pub in an amazing location. Loads of nice scenic walks nearby and a great stopping off point for food / drinks. Ample parking. Lovely beer garden area in the sunshine! Visited several times and Ben, Gemma and all the team there are working really hard, very welcoming and accommodating. Tried the new menu…..Katsu chicken is highly recommended! Well worth a visit, thank you!

Touting for fake reviews.. i have never been here on anywhere near. Live 100 miles away...

Went for family birthday. 5.30pm so not busy even for a Saturday. Booked using telephone automated service, no problem. Arrived, seated, nice table. Ordered drinks. Waited 30 minutes for drinks to arrive. Given menu. 30 minutes for orders, guess what another 30 minutes to get starter. One poor lad was running around doing the best he could. Apologised fir delays. If you plan to have starter, main and desert put 3hours plus in your brain. Such a pity as food was OK and nice place.

The food was delicious. Slight mark down as there was a lot of noise in the bar area even though it wasn't that busy. Visited again today 27th Jan and the food was again delicious. Service This is becoming a regular occurrence. Great food, good service and a good atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back on the 21st for the music!

Very nice pub with the usual pub grub

What a find, the pub itself is stunning, love the decor, the food was amazing, great variety too, the staff (especially Gemma) were very friendly and accommodating, and very dog friendly, a great find, we will be back,

Came in with family on a busy Saturday afternoon, had great food and the staff were friendly and accommodating, lovely pub with good atmosphere !! Will be back!

Had a lovely meal with from the burger section of the menu. The staff are great and looked after us. Thank you. Definitely we will come again.

Gemma is a new add to this friendly space and is the best at the job I know. She is smart , funny and knows her stuff. We have been coming here for decades . . . Cool.

Good food, lovely service and noce atmosphere. Recommend this place. Dog friendly.

Food was clap cold we waited 45 mind when it was empty. Will not return. So expensive.

Good meal. Good service.pleasant surroundings.

The signature burger was marvellous with the beer battered onion rings

All six of us enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch today at The New Inn, Scarcroft. I was a little sceptical after a few disappointing meals in the past five years but happily surprised today. Pleasant, obliging staff and quick service. Everyone agreed that their meal was delicious. We shall definitely be back!

Sorry to say but when we walked in the pub there was no one there we sat near the fire but it was just smoking we where freezing so we had to move near the radiator we had to wait a while for food while mine was OK my husband had lamb shank but there was nothing to it although the food was 50%off we didn't like to complain we normally eat at your other pub dick Hudson and everything is lovely so sorry to say we will not be returning

Unfortunate Sunday experience, wasted gift. For Christmas, we had arranged to take our grandparents out for a Sunday Roast and agreed to go yesterday 19/01/2025 however, expectations soon lowered. We had a very long wait time to order Drinks once sat down, and a much longer wait for them to arrive. I do believe this was due to staffing issues on the day which sometimes can't be avoided. We then had to flag down a member of staff twice to ask to place our food order, who had apologised and didn't know why a staff member hadn't been over. The starters were good, but unfortunately we left feeling they were better than the mains. Admittedly, it's hard to get melted cheese wrong. The Sunday roasts we received were cold, and the beef grisly and tough which my grandparents and we found difficult to cut with fairly rounded and flat knives. The crackling was a disappointment, heavily overcooked and hard/unpleasant to eat. Once the dishes were served, no one came to ask "How's your food, do you need anything?" to which we would have asked for the food to be reheated. I had hoped for this experience to be something that me, my girlfriend and my grandparents would hold as a special memory but this was entirely overshadowed by poor service and poor main courses. A wasted gift experience.

Had a lovely meal here yesterday, the food is lovely, well presented, freshly prepared and tasty.

Attended with 2 pensioners, requiring sticks. Access via ramp and spacious inside

We popped into the Inn at Scarcroft on Tuesday this week, we were greeted my Gemma who we found very helpful and polite, the food we ordered was served promptly, was nice and hot and more importantly spot on. Would highly recommend. Thanks to all

Lovely food, great service, just a cold room to eat in.

Lovely place would thoroughly recommend it!

The service was great! The food was great! There was a very nice atmosphere in the dining room. Every employee was friendly and courteous. We all enjoyed our visit and our meal.

Family went for Christmas day lunch. The food was good which made a change but the service was very slow and we had to chase them up for each course. We were sitting in a room away from the main area so think they forgot we were there!

A quick stop on the way to visit relatives and what a very nice stop off. Friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. We ordered 3 bar snacks for £12 and they were superb. Home cooked and very very tasty. The prices for everything is very reasonable and ever over this way again would definitely stop here and have a full meal as the menu looked very good.

Waitress was very friendly and kept us informed about our food

Disappointed to find somewhere welcoming vaping at a table in the bar while others are eating in this day and age. Didn't see anything on the listing saying that it was allowed but this was quite open and at a table directly in front of and a few feet from the bar where the gentleman who appeared to be the manager was working so I presume it is some sort of commercial decision. I didn't stay for anything to eat in the circumstances so cannot comment on the food but I can't recommend The Inn At Scarcroft - although, should you wish to vape indoors at your table in a pub/restaurant, this is presumably the place for you

Lovely place, food and service, Julie was lovely & friendly .

Lovely and clean, plenty of parking and the staff are helpful, even if a coffee is nearly 3 quid!

Food was outstanding. All our party loved it - great choices for a Christmas catch up with friends

I went to the inn at scarcroft on Friday 6th December as we had family down and my waitress was Rebecca, it was refreshing to have someone serve me who knew the menu and her recommendations were spot on, my family really enjoyed the food and service, we will return in the new year

Visited the Inn with an old friend and our children we all really enjoyed our meals. We sat by the open fire which was lovely and cosy! Our waiter Matt was very attentive despite the restaurant being busy for the village’s annual carol singing and brass band which was a bonus for us 🙂 Looking forward to our next visit.

Stopped in as passing by, had the roast lamb which was truly amazing. Cooked to perfection. A selection of larger and wine. Had to try the allotment crumble too which was also very nice. Next time I'm in the area I know where I'll be going for a nice meal.

We had a wonderful meal and pre-party drinks at the lovely pub. Such a great atmosphere and the fire made it cosy

The fish finger sandwich lacked enough fish but the beef brisket sandwich was enjoyed

It was a Wednesday evening, so fairly quiet. It's pretty expensive for out of town.

We were here yesterday afternoon, a very nice and welcoming place, a nice atmosphere especially with the low lights! The food was good and tasty but we would have preferred it hotter, but unfortunately no one came over to see how it was going! Very slow service, maybe 1 more waiter would be needed! Julie was always nice to us even if she was always busy between the bar and the floor!

Great food and drink pleasant atmosphere reasonable prices

Nothing good about it. Every aspect needs improvement, it is a disgrace. No one to meet and greet and show to table. Poor lighting bulbs out so asked to move table. Room cold. Food all cold. No salt and pepper on table in restaurant area for Sunday lunch. Not asked if we wanted extra drinks or if food ok. Not enough staff. I had taken my elderly father out for a treat so was very upset.

6 of us had a lovely family meal and the meals where lovely and delicious

Had another great Sunday roast here and was served by julie who always looks after us Goes above and beyond in looking after us Great service and quality food

Came here by my self and still had a great time the food was delicious. I had a great waiter called Jake who was quite tall and was very helpful.

Came here with my two children and couldn’t be more pleased with our experience. Our waitress Laura was very welcoming, and our chef Nathan was brilliant.

good atmosphere and food was good. got served fast

The Food here is on another level!! This is a beautiful pub/eaterie situated in Scarcroft on Wetherby road. Plenty of parking spaces. We had originally booked for 6pm but was very hungry so called and changed for 5pm without any problem. We we're greeted by Laura who showed us to our table, drinks arrived in no time. I had the Signature Burger Prime steak burger, loaded with Cornish smoked BBQ beef brisket, smoked streaky bacon, Monterey Jack cheese, cheese sauce and mayo, served with beer-battered onion rings. Oh wow this was the best tastiest Burger I have ever eaten. My partner ordered the pan roasted Lamb, Tender lamb rump, served medium, with a mini minted lamb pie, gratin potato, Tenderstem® broccoli and a red wine jus. I have never seen her so quiet and happy when eating a meal. She said it was worth double the price and it was the best meal she had ever eaten. I am not joking here but the Food here is on another level, this is not pub grub. Laura was amazing severing alot of tables being very attentive to everyone nothing was a problem for here. Massive congratulations to Nathan the Chef the Food was beautiful. Can't wait to come back. Anyone in the area or visiting Leeds must pay a visit. OUTSTANDING

Lovey place, lovely people and great food. What more can you ask for? Thank you Rebecca for being lovely, kind and helpful.

Lovely food in a lovely environment, always great service

Excellent food and service. Recommend to anyone!

Just had a lovely Sunday lunch. Thanks

First time here and very impressed! Service was quick and friendly and food was great. We will definitely be back!

While traveling to Leeds we were looking for somewhere quick to stop for a bite to eat. I'm glad this was the pub we came across. The service was great followed by a lovely reasonably priced meal, Staff were prompt and friendly throughout. Wish we could have stayed longer in this quant country pub. Will definitely be stopping by again next time we head to Leeds!!

Our service took a very long time. Some of the food was good, but unfortunately they served us with a burnt pizza, overcooked garlic bread and undercooked and underseasoned potatoes.We didn’t complain at the time as we waited so long, so we made an effort to eat it. The rest of the food was tasty with a very excellent pie and burger, but considering this pub wasn’t cheap, we were overall disappointed.

Went to the Inn on the 23rd with my wife we havnt eaten here in a number of years due to thinking the food had fallen off... we had the bar snacks would 100% recommend they are great value for money, large portions size and very fresh tasting... Great little menu If your peckish Then I ended up back there later in the evening with my friends. They where very empty and said we would normally closed they kept the place open until thier normal closing time to accommodate us. Great customer service and great food good to see the Inn back on top form

First visit to The Inn at Scarcroft and I’m afraid it will be our last. Booked a last minute table for early Sunday evening and I thought it was unusual to have availability. I didn’t need to book, the place was nearly empty when we arrived. We had to find someone to tell them we had a booking and we were told to sit anywhere. We both ordered Sunday dinner and when the food came it became apparent why this place was empty. The rosy belly pork was overcooked on the outside and really tough. The roast potatoes were hard, parsnips and carrots over cooked and soggy. The pork came with a “baked apple” which was cold and looked like it had been baked two days before. Very disappointing - it’s not hard to serve good, fresh food - I’m sure our food had been in a warmer at least since lunchtime, it certainly wasn’t fresh.

Traditional Sunday lunch done pretty well

There was a large group of us all paid separately....Monday 12th lunch....no bread ..no ciabatta...limited salad and took so long to get the food..not sure it will be the local WIs choice of gathering again..there was 20 ish of us..staff friendly think let down by kitchen staff x

Nice pub, excellent choice of food and drinks. Food was decent, I opted for the lasagne and it didn't disappoint

Good food and friendly service.

My fave place to eat! Great menu choice & the Sunday lunches are fabulous

Matt was very attentive; I had probably one of the best cooked medium rare sirloin steaks ever (chefs were Jack and Jacob). Perfect end to my birthday, thankyou.

Updated review (previous rating 5) The staff are still fantastic and the atmosphere is super friendly. The place has become extremely tired though, verging on dirty in some places. Inside and out. Food has taken a hit of a nose dive too, expensive and quality has decreased a lot. I'm sure a lot of this is down to head office supply/pricing. We used to eat here at least every two weeks and now not so much sadly.

My food had been nuked to death in the microwave unfortunately. The location itself has potential, but it needs money spending on it to fix damp and rot issues.

Lovely village feel to this pub, just off the A58 Wetherby Road. Free parking, good beer, wine and larger selection (and Black Sheep). Sensible prices and friendly staff.

Lovely early evening meal with prompt and friendly service.

Visited the Inn at Scarcroft yesterday for the first and I cannot say enough how well I was treated there. The food was amazing and they offer a wide range of drinks at the bar. I was served by someone with blonde curly ish hair - I believe his name was Jake - and he was brilliant. Will be returning soon

Booked Father's Day lunch for 2pm!!!! Very busy, as expected on " my day " However, arrived at 2pm, order taken and starter served within a short time. THEN A 55 MIN WAITE for the main course!!!! The veg were SOLID & UNCOOKED, could not eat! By this time it was 3-45pm and, although, we intended to have a pudding, NO WAY FOR FURTHER DELAY. Living close by, this is our local and we had a great Mother's dayl lunch. We normaly, visit on a regular BUT now think again

We loved our lunch on Father’s Day. The food and service were excellent on this busy day. Will thoroughly recommend The Inn at Scarcroft. My husband thoroughly, as we all did, his Father’s Day

Our first visit to The Inn at Scarcroft and certainly won't be our last! We thoroughly enjoyed our food which was cooked well and well presented and although having a dog, was a lovely area to be seated in. The set menu was generous and the staff very friendly. Dog friendly. Looking forward to returning!

Amazing service from my servers Jake and Clarkey. Had one of the best burgers I have ever had. Will definately go again.

barman seemed to be on his own as it wasn't that busy but he did an excellent job. was very friendly and attentive. would definitely return there again..had some bar snacks which were amazing. onion rings,halloumi fries, and cheesy garlic bread all for £10.

Visited the pub on a Tuesday around noon. Nice place but won't visit again due to mediocre food and slow service. We were the only ones in the dining area and it took a while to be served. Tried to order Brie bites and they were out. Not sure why the kitchen didn't notice this and scratch it off of the menu for the day especially when they just open. It took time to get our drinks, starters, and main. Hate to see this place on a Sunday afternoon. Safe to say we won't be coming back.

Beautiful place, nice staff, was quiet but it was midweek. Food was good, drinks good. Bar service just a little slow. But definitely would come again.

great food welcoming friendly staff

I was shown to my table by the lovely manager Amy and nothing was too much trouble for her, she went above and beyond to make sure our experience was welcoming and memorable, made sure our drinks was full aswell, the chefs Nathan and James could not have done a better job the sticky crispy chicken was delectable and the signature burger was just out of this world, we will definitely be returning.

Had an amazing meal at the Inn in Scarcroft. We was shown to our table by the open fire by Jake. Lovely young lad with blonde curly hair. Nothing was too much trouble. Very knowledgeable on the menu and with my allergies he was brilliant. The food was amazing. Jake came back to the table several times to check all was well and kept the drinks flowing. An absolute credit to the team. From a customer service background myself I can tell he will excel within the company

Our first visit and we thought it was lovely. Comfy chairs and a relaxed atmosphere. The food was presented beautifully and was very tasty. There were quite a few staff members and all of them were friendly, polite and very professional. Service was slow when we were there, but it was a Sunday, and there were quite a few tables taken. Overall, it was a nice experience, and we would definitely visit again if we were in the area.

We had a lovely Easter Sunday evening at the Inn at Scarcroft. Julie was very accommodating and looked after us for the evening. The food was delicious and we would recommend 100%

Steak cooked perfect just as I asked for it Burger one of best pub ones we’ve tried Crumble very good and great portion size Brownie cooked nicely not stodgy Staff all friendly and welcoming We enjoyed that much we told friends and parents who will be trying next week.

Lovely place, so good with kids, really welcoming. Just great 🤩

Lovely food and staff. Reasonable priced too

Lovely pub!! Shoutout to Amy, she was super helpful and had great recommendations, had a roast and it was FAB

Chap who served us was responsive and friendly. Environment clean and tidy Highly recommend Good portions are great value for money

Very enjoyable Mother’s Day meal. Our waiter Nick was very attentive and friendly. Laura was so helpful in placing us in a nice quiet spot which really made our elderly mum comfortable.

Decor is lovely, staff very friendly and helpful.

Came for Sunday lunch, food was great, atmosphere was great. Was served by Julie who was very attentive. Will definitely recommend

Great service and food as always.

Booked a table for 7 people We were waiting 45 minutes after ordering, for a starter, ( in an empty pub) main meals served before the table had been cleared. reviews were really good...we found it very disappointing won't be re visiting .

Leila was an excellent waitress. Attentive and knowledgeable without being intrusive Food was great as always

Marty and Matt were so polite and gave excellent service. Food was amazing as always xx

Friendly staff especially Julie, delicious food and lovely atmosphere.

Lovely food and very good value. Marty was a great and even brought my mum some complementary chocolate brownie for her birthday.

Jake is really lovely! Excellent customer service, always smiley! Such a nice atmosphere. Amy’s pretty good too 😊 the newest team member is really lovely, Siri, always willing to play and full of character 🐈‍⬛

Great local pub with great staff and amazing food

Matty and Jake were great, would definitely visit again!

We visited at the weekend, myself and family. The atmosphere upon arrival was so warm and welcoming. All the staff could not do enough, they really went out of there way. The food as always was beautiful, I had the steak pie with onion mash and vegetables. The stone baked pizza for starter is delicious, if that wasn’t enough food I then had the sticky toffee pudding with custard. Laura the supervisor I believe was amazing, nothing was too much and we highly recommend. Thank you to all the staff at The Inn, we will be back again soon for sure.

staff were attentive welcoming and friendly we were served by Julie who went out of her way to serve us .The food was good quality and tasted great we will go again

Staff are really lovely! Food is great!
