The Lamb and Flag in Leeds

I've been trying to book this venue for an event for over a week. I have rung countless times. The phone either goes unanswered, or there is an opportunity to leave a voicemail, which I have done several times, and nobody ever responds. I managed to speak to somebody once, who said she was too busy to speak with me and told me to send an email. I have been trying via email however the response rate is a a snails pace. It feels impossible to get any engagement from the team at this venue. Extremely poor customer service I'm afraid, which is a real shame as the venue itself is wonderful.

Lovely Sunday Lunch, top quality ingredients, freshly cooked and good portion sizes

Service was good in this nicely decorated pub in a lovely spot. I had brie and bacon sandwich £9 which a few others in my group had as well. The bread was very thick and dry. There was one small piece of brie in each half and 2 small bits of bacon in each half. It was all very tasteless and not enough brie. It would be a better toaster with melted brie. The chutney was non existent. The fat chips were almost big chunks of potato and no crispiness about them. Really enjoyed the decor and service but shame about the sandwich.

Nice cosy pub to eat or just chill out with a drink. I would definitely recommend coming if near the bus station 👍

Ate the Sunday roast menu. Good quality upper-mid tier gastro-pub fair but nothing standout. Drinks were decent, pudding alright but not up to the main course. Staff were friendly and accommodating, especially given the busy weekend. Solid choice for the area at a standard price for central Leeds.

Great pub! Been coming here for a long time but I organised my work Xmas do for here last week. The staff were really accommodating both before and during the event. The food was great and the service was excellent. Would definitely host a large event here again. Thanks to Emily and the team for their support in organising the day!

Very disappointed that the Christmas braised beef, didn't come with any vegetables! Surely, it should when, on the Christmas 'set menu'?

Didn't actually eat but the food looked amazing. A gorgeous pub with indoor and outdoor seating and really friendly.

Very nice place a must if in leeds

Fantastic food. Always friendly welcome and good range of drinks. Lovely outdoor area. If eating and it's busy would recommend to sit upstairs.

Good main, cold brownie for dessert and asked to pass our plates to the end instead of the usual coming round to collect.

Lovely pub, good food at reasonably price, service excellent and a good selection of draught lagers and ciders

Excellent pub for both food and beer. For us it is a fixed destination when we are in Leeds.

Nice vibe,but was busy but the space is big and cozy. I really liked the music. Didn’t have good but the white wine was perfect temperature and really good !

Excellent city centre dog friendly pub. Good choice of real ale. Good beer garden.

I organised a birthday party for my wife at the Lamb and Flag. The venue was amazing! The buffet food excellent and creative. The atmosphere perfect and the staff very helpful. Thankyou.

A fantastic first visit with attentive staff and fast service, food ordered was the beef Sunday roast along with a portion of pigs in blankets on the side! Would happily try again another time

This a brilliant pub especially for the town centre. The food is great and there is a wonderful selection of ale. Usually for lunch it is quiet ( but not too quiet ) and is a good place to meet friends and chat.

Just add a steak £25 too much fat chips were nice 2 onion rings were nice not worth it over priced

A lovely pub with great food and drinks. Had a delicious lunch, in a pub with a great atmosphere. A buzz about the place but not noisy or rowdy. Would definitely return

Worst Sunday roast I've ever had. There were four of us, each of us got food at a different time. My beef roast cost 18.50£. on the plate I got one roast potato (tastless) and next to the mash potato (sic) one carrot cut in half and a small spoon of something that looked like greens, 2 thin slices of my beef looked like Poundland meat, horrible look and taste. restaurants like this only convince me to stay at home and cook for myself.

Lovely atmosphere friendly staff food really nice good value..had the fish a couple of times lovely and the Sunday lunch certainly didn't disappoint it was delicious..very busy but very organised.

Nice pub but drink prices are so high you probably will only stay for 1

Fantastic service and felt really well looked after.

Absolutely fantastic Sunday roast and selection of puddings. Certainly helped my hangover from the night before.

Ideal spot to meet for lunch and a few beers. Not too busy, nice atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Decent food, good beer.

Quite happy to take our money, then said they were closing in 15 mins, not aware of this when we bought the drinks!!!!!! Surely it would be good to know thos

We came for sunday roast it was pretty good! Only wish they were more generous with the gravy! The pork was a little overcooked and dry but would come back and try other dishes! 😄

It took ages for our food to arrive and when it arrived we were all disappointed with our portion size as if you’re paying £18 for a roast you expect more than a little slab of meat. The Leodis house lager was nice though.

Had been here before on a works do a few years ago and being impressed, so booked again with family. We were seated downstairs in quite a dark pokey part of the restaurant compared to the other areas we walked through, quite awkwardly joining a room being used for a baby shower with decorations up. From some faces including the party we were equally surprised that we’d be seated so close to them but got on with it. The party (rightly so) were having a great time but were so loud, constantly getting up to go for a cig or toilets squeezing between us to get in and out; my family could barely hear each other talking to the extent we sort of gave up on it, ate our mains quickly and left. Food took about 45 mins to come which felt too long, the party’s main and desserts came in that time so was definitely focussing to get their orders out rather than smaller tables, food was nice including the veggie main option but can’t say it WOW’ed us, but think this was more due to the atmosphere ruining it. Imo the restaurant shouldn’t be seating people in that area when there’s a party on, you are just shoved in a corner and the quality of experience is below par compared to the rest of the place. I rated it average though as the food was nice.

4 stars only because the food is a bit on the pricey side now, used to be better value, some in our party criticised portion sizes. Staff are good, coped well with our large party (booked in advance).

Staff friendly in petrol station

Had a wonderful visit here yesterday! Such a welcoming environment, with lovely staff that can't do enough for you. The food was impeccable 😍 can't wait to go back!

Exactly what I needed on a cold Sunday afternoon! Super cosy pub with very friendly staff, and the food was unreal. Had roast pork Sunday lunch - could not fault it at all. The pork was so tender, the crackling was cracking and the yorkies were enormous. Chocolate orange tart was out of this world, had to roll me home afterwards but so worth it. Also just a side note, there was a disgruntled customer on the table next to us who was very unhappy, but seemed to be complaining for the sake of it as he left a clean plate. I just wanted to give a shout out to the waiter who had to deal with him. He handled it very well, was very professional and super polite. Staff went above and beyond and could not fault the service at all. Already looking forward to my next booking and haven’t stopped thinking about the roasties since. 10/10 highly recommend!

Lovely venue with cosy decor inside. Had the most delicious Sunday Roast with perfectly cooked pork, the crackliest crackling and a Yorkshire pud the size of my head. Finished off with one of the best sticky toffee puds I’ve had in a restaurant. The staff were all very friendly and efficient and more than happy to help. And the pinot grigio rose was also great. Finally, definitely order the stuffing and pigs in blankets.

Lovely pub. Lots of real ale in good condition. Enjoyed the music as well!

Best roast I've had in AGES! Great interior as well

Izzy and Val attended us top notch. Readers, we are ITALIAN and spoiled food wise! It was all very very good!There are no photos cause we were too hungry but we had the roast(great massive portion with super good taste), the nduja scotch egg (YUMMMMYYY) And currently waiting for the dessert. If you think we came with our 4 year old autistic non verbal son,he loved the food and the place s not too noisy (Sunday 12.15pm). WORTH COMING HERE FOR GOOD FOOD

Ones of Leeds hidden gems. I’m always surprised how many people learn Leeds and have never experienced it. Being in the beer garden on an Autumn afternoon as the bell ringers practice next door is a rare pleasure. Beers decent, staff good. I envy those you get to call it their local

Called in here for lunch, excellent food, service and value. Would recommend and we’ll definitely return.

Very good experience 👌 very nice atmosphere.

Excellent service. Patrons not observing social distancing, but the venue do all they can to accommodate the necessary restrictions. Very happy to recommend the venue.

Excellent friendly pub, great beer selection, diverse clientele and well worth a visit.

Very handsome pub and great service. We had various versions of the Sunday roast. The pork and beef were a little overcooked and the Yorkshire puddings were about the size of Yorkshire itself, but it was still a lovely meal. Nice beer garden, too.

Great service & Sunday lunch was beautiful 😍 Yorkshire pudding was enormous but still managed. No starter or pudding...could only manage the 1 course.

Food was served in huge quantities but it wasn't anything amazing quality wise. I think the steak pie was the worst pie I've ever eaten!

Nice cozy pub. Excellent steak and ale pie. Perfect match with Leeds Best.

Excellent food and great beer. Staff really good. Only down side was the amount of time that it took for our meals to arrive

Nice place, friendly service, but rather too expensive for my taste

Where do we even start! We had our wedding reception here yesterday and from start to finish it was perfect! We’re so thankful to the lovely staff, we didn’t have to ask for anything to be turned around or brought out and the food was delicious! All of our guests commented on how incredible the food and the venue was! A special thank you to Emily, who’s happily replied every email/call/question we’ve had along the way, the day was seamless and we’re so grateful to her! 🩷 Would recommend the lamb and flag to anyone, whether it just a drink, some food, or even your wedding!

Ventured here for Sunday lunch, didn’t book but thankfully got a table. Opted for the Sunday Roast Pork, the meal was okay but had several issues for me (just my opinion/taste) - Yorkshire pudding was soggy - too much gravy on the plate, no option to add the amount you wanted - cracked black pepper used on everything which overpowered the flavour and you couldn’t taste much else - roast potatoes were so tough you could barely cut into them - pork was also quite tough Sadly overall wasn’t that impressed, and although the place is dog friendly some staff didn’t seem that keen to have them around. Shame about the food, but beautiful building 👍🏼

Very nice pub with lovely outside areas. We have eaten here before and the food is normally really good. This time however,although still good quality, everything was very salty. We had pie and mash and the mash and veg were just so, so salty. I had the pork loin. The pork was really good and came with a pepper sauce, but there was a sea of it everywhere, almost like it was custard and it swamped everything. Such a shame, as we will think twice before eating there again now.

First real dish in 5 days in Leeds. Very good pie. A little noisy atmosphere but there was a wedding. Very pleasant servers.

Cannot recommend highly enough. Great food and all staff so friendly and helpful. Our large multi generational party of children, adults & a dog were welcomed & accommodated with no problems.

Fabulous food. Dog made very welcome. Beautiful building. Wide choice of food and drink. Garden and balcony area. Good service.

Lovely place for a drink or food

Very good roast beef dinner, giant Yorkshire pudding. Sat upstairs, very airy and not crowded. The staff were efficient and friendly.

Perfect city pub. Great atmosphere, good beers, spent a happy afternoon here.

I recently booked a private room for 26 people for a graduation celebration. The whole process was super easy, I spoke with Emily over email to arrange everything and we pre ordered the food to make things easy on the day. They reserved the upstairs space for us which was more than enough, next to the balcony - which was great - and the evening just ran very smoothly. The food was great and on time, we had a bar service for ourselves and the staff was super nice, accommodating anything we needed. I would definitely recommend! Thank you so much guys!!

Good range of beer. Nice service. Beer garden.

We had Sunday dinner here ! Absolutely delicious the best we've ever tasted

Great choice of beer to enjoy in the beer garden

Tiny menu but manage to run out of food. Food I had wasn’t great and is the third time I’ve been disappointed. To top it all off got charged £3.10 for a pint of Cordial that costs about a penny. Happy to change my review if I get some money back for the cordials but I doubt it.

Had a nice stay. Room was comfortable and clean. 25 minutes walk into Abergaveny.

Excellent lunch @ The Lamb & Flag. I had the Niçoise salad which was very tasty; my husband had the sausage & mash which he said was excellent and the best he’s had for a long while. We would definitely have the same meals again although there were lots of other great dishes available. The restoration of the building a few years ago is also very impressive. Well done Leeds Brewery! We’ll be back.

Just went for drinks, good atmosphere.

Good place to have a beer or eat something without great pretensions, correct food in the price-quality ratio, weak desserts, good appearance but very mediocre, the service is attentive. If I return, it will be to have a beer, not to eat.

Avoid this place at all cost. Terrible food Terrible service and Terrible prices. Ruined my wife's birthday. Will never go back. I wanted a lamb Sunday lunch. They offered me a lamb lunch but still for the price of the lamb on the mains £24. Absolutely disgraceful. Over an hour waiting for food and when I asked where the food was I was told it was my fault it takes so long because I ordered the lamb. My wife's food was like a soup. Sunday lunch coverd in gravy. Food was cold and the guy who brought food had his thumb in the food.

Went for Lunch after a concert at the Conservatoire. Booked a table and shown to our seats with table service provided. Menu was varied and food lovely. Shout out to the staff for being attentive and generally lovely. Will be back.

Good food, I personally prefer to put my own gravy on my plate, maybe something to offer in future? Good service, we were looked after. Even organised a family party.

Fabulous pub, proper pont, excellent atmosphere.sunday roast was super, with a genuine warm and friendly staff, if highly recommend

Lovely Sunday lunch polite staff atmosphere good value for money

Drinks are expensive. £4 dearer for a two round drink than nearer town.

Very pleasant beer garden and excellent real ale.

My wife and I booked the Lamb & Flag for our Golden Wedding party. The guests were family and friends of various ages. Everything was excellent, the staff, food, drinks and service. The phone never stopped the following day with everyone calling to say how much they enjoyed the night. Thank you to everyone at the Lamb & Flag who made this a special night for us.

Great venue for the Leeds lit fest quiz!

Incredible Sunday roast, possibly the best one I’ve had, anywhere in the world. Lovely staff, who were very attentive! Highly recommend

Don't go there if you are not a native speaker. I spend 90% of my day speaking English, and I have never encountered a person that did not understand me. However, for some reason the server didn't understand the word "chips" and "gin", and made me repeat myself 3-4 times and still didn't get it. Hard pass due to the poor service.

Another wonderful meal at the Lamb & Flag with exceptional service and great atmosphere

Have been for a roast a couple of times and it’s good, but not my favourite. I’m pescatarian so obviously had the nut roast and Lamb & Flag’s is definitely not the best veggie roast in Leeds. The second time we came, the fire alarm went off for about 15 minutes and wouldn’t stop - when we asked they gave us a discount but I did feel they should’ve offered the discount without us having to ask as it really did impact our meal, especially as a group as we could no longer speak to each other over the sound of it. I really like the beer garden though and love coming here for a drink.

Bravo, will defo go again , been before too. Aliitle oasis, grand food and great value

Nice place with good beer but not too impressed by the buffet

Great food. Service started very well but then deteriorated when there was obviously a lack of staff. Lager choices not the best but the Savignon Blanc was delicious but very pricey. They need to sort out a proper smoking area for all the smelly dirty people.

Great service and excellent food. Would recommend the seabass. The mash with the pie was ridiculously salty, which I think must’ve been a mistake.

Attended a reception and the food was great

My friend and I had the beef burger fish and chips. They were both underwhelming. The burger was burnt, chips were cold and the fish just looked sad. It felt like the food was cooked by some intern who could just not be bothered.

Nice dinner good service 😋..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

I don’t often leave reviews but this warranted some honest feedback. Utterly abysmal food. Imagine the worst pub food you’ve had, and this is that. I actually felt embarrassed eating it. Go somewhere else, do not waste your money. This may look and be marketed as a cute city pub, but trust me the food is absolutely grim.

Enjoyed it Food was nice could’ve been a bit hotter but it was fine. The service was okay once I remembered us the atmosphere was good.nice friendly atmosphere would definitely go back

Went on a Sunday. Bar is small and service quite slow, but it was busy and the staff are friendly and helpful. Beautiful looking pub, nicely decorated, quirky. Outside area very nice to sit and chill. Would recommend!!

Visiting from Canada, I wanted a restaurant in Central Leeds where a friend and I could enjoy a pleasant, leisurely lunch. The Lamb and Flag was perfect. The setting was very attractive, on two levels with an outside patio so we could find a quiet corner to chat. The food was good and reasonably priced. We just had sandwiches but then we indulged in the wonderfully decadent sticky toffee pudding. The wait staff were friendly; and, because the sun was shining, after lunch we were and had a drink on the patio.

Excellent food , very fast service. Great beers and nice ambience. 10/10

Booked a table for food and drinks Saturday 11th May. A pleasant member of staff showed us to a nice table upstairs but seeing as it was such a nice day outside, we sat in the lovely beer garden. It's not table service outside but paying at the bar isn't a problem. The food was served in good time, to say it was busy and it did not disappoint. We had 2 of the flatbread's and a fish finger sandwich. Ordered extra chips and have to say everything was faultless. Really good quality ingredients and everything cooked to perfection. Chips were propper thick cut, homemade ones too :-). We happily sat outside for a few hours in the sun enjoying the chilled vibe and wine! All staff were friendly and helpful. A rare faultless experience these days. Well done Lamb and Flag.

I organised a work team meal here, and the food, service and atmosphere were exceptional. The staff were able to accomodate a last-minute addition to our party with no issues (after we had pre-ordered for everyone else), and worked really hard to look after us - would definitely recommend.

Really nice pub serving a great chouce if beers. Clean and comfortable. Big 👍

Nice quiet pub with nice food. Beer about £5 and menu on the quality side. So a nice place to take the better half.

Came across this place by accident on a Saturday afternoon. What a gem! Absolutely loved my steak n ale pie (one of the best pies I’ve tasted) and my hubby was equally pleased with his fish n chips! The pub has a lovely atmosphere, stylish decor and friendly staff. There’s plenty of tables with dining upstairs too and there’s a lovely beer garden. Great menu with plenty of choice and we can’t wait to go back and try the Sunday roasts. Highly recommended.

Very surprised, read the reviews before booking and it was everything and more. Food was delicious, deserts unusual and first class. Staff very friendly and seemed to care that you had a good time. Lot of regulars which is always a good sign. Would definitely revisit
