The Lamb and Flag in Leeds

We had a really good Sunday lunch. The food was great, with generous portions, and the service was good.

A good Sunday roast spot in town, not the most spacious, but have a good amount as there are two floors to use. For foodies, they portions are generous and the meal delicious. PS: it can get really busy on a Sunday, try to book a table before hand, but in any case, you're not able to, just walk in knowing the chances are 50:50 you get a nice table.

Great pub with atmosphere, good food and great service..the manager was excellent...been refurbished to a very high standard and 1st time we visited last night after being in Leeds since 1997 as we had an event next door at the Leeds Minster...we will be back..

Called in for a drink, great atmosphere quick service

Great fish and chips - fair price to quality. Enjoyed the pub and customer service. Definitely had a great experience.

Fabulous Sunday lunch - enjoyed by all - Beef cooked to perfection and staff were all lovely. Deffo highly recommend! Well done!

It was ok not as amazing as we thought it would Be from the photos we had a beef roast dinner the beef veg and mash were lovely the gravy was extremely watery the roast potatoes where rock hard and hard to cut and the Yorkshire were ok. Some of our party had the meatpie which they said was nice. The food got cold really quick and the portions were not the generous. It was good but we won’t rush back 🤔

My daughter recommended Lamb and Flag as a good place for lunch and a couple of drinks. A spot on recommendation. Pleasant place, bright, spacious, great service, tasty food, nice atmosphere. Couldn’t ask for more. This will now be our go to place in Leeds.

I really like this pub, looks traditional, good food and service. Unfortunately, each time I've been in the last few months it's been cold which had made it a little uncomfortable when eating!

A lovely Sunday lunch the beef was tender and cooked to perfection. The vegetables and potatoes were nice and hot although the Yorkshire pudding was a little cold. Service was good .. However our table was opposite an outside door and it was chilly when the door kept opening.. other than that a very nice experience we will go again! Thank you

The food was beautiful, the staff attentive and place very nice. It was a little loud and the toilets had a terrible smell and could have been cleaner

As the other reviews say the food and service are excellent at this pub. Today we had a serious problem with one of our starters ( the gruyère pot). We had ordered three pots. Liz the waitress dealt with it immediately and efficiently. The kitchen was notified and the manager Paul investigated the issue thoroughly explaining to us what probably had happened to my husband's starter. They were extremely apologetic and genuinely offered to sort the situation out, offering us replacements and extra deserts. We are very grateful to the staff for dealing with the problem so openly and with real professionalism. The rest of our meal went without further issues and we really enjoyed our Sunday meals very much. Thank you

Good beer, but a little expensive .

Super Sunday lunch in the heart of Leeds. The L&F was buzzing at 1.30 when we arrived and service was swift, polite & efficient. The Sunday roast was excellent, all veg was lovely and the lamp rump succulent. It was a massive plateful! Puds were nice as well, we had the bread & butter pud which was good but not as good as my mums 🥰

Everything from drinks to food was excellent, staff friendly and helpful, small problem about timing but resolved above and beyond.fantastic Sunday afternoon/ evening.

Booked a table for 4 with wife and daughters for a pre-show meal on Saturday evening. Shown to table 21 (corner plot near toilets) upstairs and ordered mains and drinks. Starters were not to our taste so were looking forward to deserts after. Food and drinks arrived promptly and were very good. Unfortunately, the steak sauce ordered arrived fifteen minutes after the meals and the steak had already been eaten. Then, after the plates were taken, we were left with no food or drinks for forty five minutes while tables around us that had arrived after us were being served normally. Eventually, I had to go to the bar to pay the bill due to no table service and showtime approaching. Barman said all he could do was say sorry. I paid the bill and we left hungry, thirsty and disappointed.

Great classic pub environment visited and had the beef burger and chips which was great and the staff were friendly and speedy

A little diamond of a place. Really great food, the mushroom risotto was was particularly good! Friendly, prompt service. Will definitely be back again

Fantastic Sunday lunch with side order of extra Yorkshire pud. Yum 😋

Superb selection of real ale from Leeds and other breweries. Pleasant beer garden at the rear.

Excellent pre-gig at the Minster meal with extremely helpful and patient waiting staff (two GF diners who needed the menu translating!). The food was perfect. We're not local but will definitely bear the Lamb & Flag in mind when we next visit Leeds.

We had a dinner on 14 February. Food was absolutely delicious! Service was proffesional and friendly. Good choice of beer as well. Definitely will go again and recommend to friends.

Booked Sunday lunch the day before for 7 people, so we were pleased to be able to get a table! The staff were great from the start (we were the first people there at 12.00) and were nicely attentive throughout the meal. Drinks and food arrived swiftly and all correctly. I had the beef and ale pie, which was great. Most others had roasts (it was Sunday after all!). They all looked great and had super Yorkshire puddings. The pork was very well cooked but both the lamb and the chicken roasts were over cooked, and therefore a bit tough. The veggies and gravy were all great though. Would happily return next time.

Hidden gem, perfect family lunch, thank you

It's our go to pub when we're in Leeds. Everything is excellent.

I love this pub best in the summer

Nice cozy pub, food is ok nothing special but alright. Nice environment, we go often

Booked a table for 2 for Sunday lunch, we were early for the booking, but the staff still helped and got us seated in around 10 mins , enough time to get drinks from the bar. Place has a good lively mood, and the food is amazing. we had the lamb dinner with cauliflower cheese, which I would recommend in a heartbeat. I have no issue recommending the lamb and flag and we will definitely be back soon massive thankyou to all the staff

Fantastic Sunday roasts. Booked a table, which was easy to do online, and so glad we did as it's a very popular/busy place. Good selection of menu choices, along with vegetarian options. Dining is available both downstairs and upstairs, which also has a bar and restrooms on the same floor. I believe the upstairs can also be booked for private hire. Staff friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Located next to the cathedral, there is no car park, but there is street parking, payable at the parking meters.

My wife and I along with our daughter and partner had a Sunday lunch just before Christmas at the L & F. We booked for 1pm and at the the time it was fairly quite, however after a short time it started to fill up. We had 3 starters and 4 mains and then shared 2 desserts, the food was delivered shortly after ordering and was piping hot, the waitress was attentive without being in your face. Along with some excellent beer our visit was a thoroughly enjoyable one, we will definitely return, thank you..

Perfect Sunday evening, food was gorgeous service was great, Thankyou so much to Issy and the rest of the team!!

Excellent pub with a good choice of beers

Was craving a Sunday dinner, after lots of relentless searching and asking around Lamb and Flag came up multiple times. All I can say is wow! The food was incredible, I went for the beef option and it was so succulent literally melted in the mouth. The veg was cooked to perfection and that light fluffy yorkie on the top was delicious. Great service and the team were all so friendly and happy to help. Will absolutely be back again!

7Jan25 - Ben and the team were great. Lovely ale & selection, food was great (pie & steak top drawer) and nice building. We'll be back.

A lovely pub situated close by to the bus station. A great selection of beers, the Sunday lunch is great.

It is one of our favourite pubs in Leeds. It is a bit out of the main centre but it's well worth finding out. A great choice of beer and food. We did not eat in here, but the food looks nice.

Delicious lunch here, brilliant value for fresh, quality food with great portions sizes. The pub has a good vibe and is spotlessly clean. The service was excellent, food came out in good time and was cooked fresh to order. We tried the fish goujon sandwich and the steak flatbread and both were very tasty. A hidden gem in Leeds that i'd definitely recommend and will be back to try more.

Fantastic fish and chips and home-made potatoes. Great risotto with truffles and 3 types of pork with mashed potatoes. Very nice waiter. He explained everything in the menu quickly and efficiently

Came in for a bite to eat after being at West Yorkshire Playhouse. We had visited earlier this year and vowed to go back as our first experience was also 'Spot On'. Several months later it did not disappoint. Great pub, lovely atmosphere and excellent food.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch at the Lamb and Flag, drink and food were excellent. Only minor issue was Mrs B ordered the Roast Pork, but it didn’t come with the crackling as advertised. Staff were unaware until I asked for it! Wouldn’t put us off returning as the food, drink and atmosphere is lovely!!

Atmosphere and food were great. Three of us had steak and ale pie with either chips or mash and I would strongly recommend. Good choice of beers at the bar and friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Fabulous, chill, lovely afternoon - delicious food, fab cocktails!

We booked for an early family Xmas lunch. The food was fantastic and along with the great service the overall experience was really nice.

Absolutely faultless Christmas dinner. Atmosphere, staff, food and service helped make a magical experience. Would highly recommend.

Excellent Bar with great choice of drinks, excellent food and a good atmosphere.

12 of us all over 60's had a lovely late afternoon meal before attending a carol service next door. The food was excellent and good value. The service was good even thought they were busy and we were made to feel welcome. Milly was very accommodating when I made the booking. We will definitely go back there next year.

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.

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.

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

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

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 !

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.

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!

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

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

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

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 👍🏼

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

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.

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!

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.
