The Pax inn in Leeds

Called after reading good reviews for a family lunch, knocked on front door at 12.00 no answer then tried to ring no answer. Went round back to try rear door looked inside nobody to be seen. Gave it up as a bad job and went to another pub. Very dissapointing.

I felt there could have been more information on the Web site as to what foods are served through the days for example today we came knowing what was wanted got there and told it wasn't served that day so was very limited to what we could have , the service was amazing and friendly staff ,food quality could have been better but all in all a decent dinner out

My wife an I went for a very early (4.30pm) meal as we'd skippd lunch. At that time we were the only ones in the restaurant. We were a bit peturbed to see a cat wandering around as we defintely dont think animals and food mix. The situation was made worse when the cat actually jumped up on to our table! We decided immediately not to stay as, although the bar man offered to clean the table, who knows where that cat had been wandering - on other tables? on the bar? In the kitchen perhaps? The hygiene in The pax Inn definitely has to be questioned! Needless to say, we will not return.

We have just had a fantastic birthday celebration in the large room at the back of the pub. Dane and the team could not have been more helpful before and during the party. Dane suggested the food and it was all amazing and just what we wanted. I would definitely recommend for large groups or special occasions. Thank you so much for an amazing night!

The burgers were pretty good. But it was absolutely freezing in there, to the point where we had to wolf the food and get out ASAP. Perhaps the heating was broken. Also, sadly, the local parents seemed to be using it as a creche, allowing their coughing, spluttering rugrats to run around the dining room uncontrolled. Shame - has potential though.

Fantastic food and service The chips are amazing as are the BLTs and fish finger sandwiches. We loved the cat!

We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch here and can’t fault the food or service. However, my rating comes because the pub cat spoilt my experience. It constantly tried jumping onto the chairs/bench and the table during our meal and then, I witnessed it licking the salt and pepper pots when it jumped onto an empty table and it also licked some cutlery in a pot on the table. This seems very unhygienic. Such a shame as the food was worth 5 stars.

Managed to fit us in last minute, as we had come up from south wales and everything about the place was stunning.

After reading the reviews on here we thought we'd give it a go, so glad we did. The food was gorgeous staff very nice service excellent well worth the trip. Bonnie even found a ball so she was happy.

This place was recommended due to new management, so we called in for a sunday lunch. Food was lovely (lots of meat) veg was lovely and fresh (not boiled within an inch of its life) home made yorkshires. Shame there was no cheesecake as that would have been perfect to finish with. Lovely home cooked food. Will return

Was surprised to see the pub so quiet as we were both impressed by our meals. Service was friendly and quick and the portion sizes were on point. We sat outside to have our meal and there was a lovely atmosphere. Food tasted homemade and would recommend for sure.

We called in on the off chance and were glad we did. We were in the middle of a walk and called in for a simple sandwich lunch. Sandwiches were delicious on very fresh bread. We had a BLT, a club sandwich and a vegetarian hummus and beetroot, all delicious. The chips are were also homemade, always a bonus. There was a good choice of main meals and specials so we will definitely call again, maybe for the Sunday lunch wich sounds good. Fresh, homemade food served with care and excellent value.

We were keen to try the newly reopened Pax Inn for a meal with friends, and I'm glad we did. The moules mariniere to start were lovely, and a generous portion. Followed by a delicious burger with all the trimmings and "dirty" fries with a masalla sauce which were first rate. The ambience will be better when it's a bit busier, but I'm pleased we walked up from Boston Spa to try it out.

Good food (excellent club sandwich), friendly service, very good value, and a great chat with a very knowledgeable local about football from 1950 onwards. It's just re-opened and already has a nice friendly feel. Good luck to them in the new venture.

Beautiful warm setting in a friendly family run pub. The menu was fantastic and the pies are to die for, I highly recommend for a hearty meal.

Decent enough pub, nice atmosphere, food was alright but nowt to get excited about. If I was passing I might pop in, but wouldn't go out of my way to visit it. There are better foodie pubs in the area.

Had a really lovely xmas works dinner, staff and atmosphere really great. Thankyou. The quiz was an added bonus and everyone made a really good night.

Had an amazing lunch with my Family at the Pax, Food amazing, draught beer and Guinness was the best I have had in ages. Staff all friendly very cosy open fires through the pub. Highly recommend a visit to the Pax..

Wow! Our family Christmas gathering on Sunday was brilliant. Claire, Paul and family couldn’t do enough for 37 of us. The Christmas Carvery had more vegetables options than I had ever seen. Everything was hot and fresh. Home cooking at its best and grandma’s Yorkshire puds were the best. Highly recommended, we will return. Merry Christmas everyone. 🎄🎅🏻xx

Sunday dinner - doubt this was cooked by a chef. Frozen veg, mash potato and cauliflower cheese served luke warm. Roast potatoes and parsnips looked very overdone on the outside but cold and hard in the middle. My impression was straight out of the freezer...

Pleasant country pub, well situated, with reasonable parking facilities and outdoor seating area to the rear. The prawn cocktails were nicely presented but could benefit from a few more prawns and wholewheat sourdough or similar rather than cheap white bread. The 1/2 chicken from the...

We met our friends at the Pax yesterday for lunch. 4 adults and 4 kids. Service was fabulous from start to finish as was the food. The Delicious home cooked Lasagne was lovely. Big portions. Really enjoyed it xx

A family birthday meal was made excellent with the great food and the best fish and chips in the area . Would recommend to anybody. Also the staff were happy to help with all we required. Keep up the good service.

Our party of 7 plus a 10 month old child had dinner at the Pax last night. The small but active child had her food cooked as soon as we arrived so that she was kept busy! The staff were very helful and friendly and...

We had dinner in the restaurant at the Pax last week. Starter, mains and dessert were all absolutely top-notch. The steak pie was packed full of flavour and the home made chips lovely as well. Moretti not bad either. All in all a great night...

Absolutely delicious take away from The Pax. Under new ownership, the team here are so friendly and we would thoroughly recommend either for dining in or a take away - we are already booking again! Thank you Claire and the team!

Had a small xmas meal with friends. Excellent food and ver attentive staff. Amazing xmas decs , and food was excellent. Thankyou Claire, Steve nd Caitlin.

Unfortunately the food was shocking! Nice to see a “proper” local pub up and running but a lot to do bringing the food up to a level seen locally!!

Came for a midweek visit. Inside it’s a very warm welcome and has been done up very nice with separate drinking areas and restaurant, both with nice fires roaring on a winters night. Good beer choices and a sensible menu. My girls went for the...

The Pax is under new management and its great. Good food, good beer, great atmosphere. It is exactly what a village pub it should be. The fish and chips and the scampi and chips have become a family favourite already. The landlords Steve and Clare...

Thank Claire and Steve- great to have a traditional pub in the village- just what we needed. Food is simple and all the favourites. Kids love the scampi! It’s great to see it busy and alive again!

Lovely country pub, but as we entered the restaurant things went from bad to worse. No atmosphere at all for a Friday evening, waitresses hiding away in the kitchen on their phones & half an hour after arriving was told they didn’t have something on...

So pleased that this traditional pub is back open. The pub is warm and always such a warm friendly welcome when you arrive. Some of the younger staff are learning the ropes but really enthusiastic and chatty/keen to please. We have had several meals in...

Charming, dog friendly village pub run by new landlords who are great people and just happen to know what they're doing. Great food, great atmosphere, great value. Good selection of drinks, straightforward menu covering all needs induding allergies. Excellent, go visit. T from Yorkshire

What a delight! A friendly, village pub; serving delicious homemade food. Oh how we have missed this! Went with a group of friends on a Friday night. The bar was busy but the waitress and bar staff were attentive and helpful- even accommodating some menu...

This is my local pub but has gone through difficult times with two changes in management in the last few years. This time last tear it was terrible. However, Now open under new management. The new landlords are very nice and seem to know exactly...

Visited here for first time since refurbished and Indian restaurant added. Very modern and staff very welcoming. Lovely meal and experience. Will definitely recommend and return.

DON”T TOUCH WITH A BARGE POLE!!!! Absolute shambles! Ordered food online and applied discount code as displayed on website however on delivery requested full payment! Needless to say it went back. First and last experience

This establishment is 'masquerading' as an INDIAN restaurant, but there is NOTHING INDIAN about it. Supermarket curries, reheated.....

As from last person that wrote revue about rats it's a load of rubbish pub has been closed for ten weeks for public with no beer on premises and iam at this place all the time its spotless and food is good just look at...

First time eating from the Pax inn but certainly won’t be the last! All of the food was fantastic! Would definitely recommend.

So we used to visit The Pax a lot and loved it. Then it went a bit down hill food wise so we stayed away. Now it’s opened as an Indian Restaurant which I’ll discuss first. This was the 2nd time we have been and...

Amazing food, very tender lamb and okra madras curry and chicken masala, spice/heat just right. Can highly recommend, visited several times and never had a bad meal

Pax Guest House in Dingle Co. Kerry, Ireland, is an outstanding B&B;, despite the 1 kilometer trek down a hill to town for dinner if you don’t have a car. The views from this place are so picturesque, a wondrous panorama! And the breakfasts are creations you hesitate to “desecrate”. The only drawback was the owner’s puppy being allowed to run, jump and playfully bite the guests.

Had two visits in the past month with friends for Drinks. The first, we ordered two Ales which were cloudy and smelt of Line Cleaner. When this was queried with the young Lad Serving, his reply was “Someone mentioned that earlier” Really? If this was...

I go to this pub regularly and it is always welcoming with good beer and good food. You can take the whole family there and they often have special events on. I would recommend anybody to give it a try.

Made my first visit to this pub and it was very quiet. It is quite a big place with a large dining/event room so I’m surprised they don’t do more with it.

Went with my in laws for Sunday Lunch was wonderful, beautiful meat and lovely fresh vegetables, roast potatoes & gravy. Also one of the best sticky toffee puds I've ever had, well done chef, and wonderful service from the waitress.

We went as a family on Mothering Sunday, half the menu wasn’t available so very limited choice, there was a long wait between ordering and the food coming and when it did it was very poor. Very disappointing and we will not be returning, many...

Me and my family visited the pax inn for the first time. And the Sunday dinner was perfect the mixed meat was cooked perfectly, the vegetables was a nice mix with carrot broccoli cauliflower and kale. The homemade Yorkshire pudding was spot on! The atmosphere was lovely,The staff was friendly and very helpful, We will be backThank you for your great hospitality!

Last minute decision to try somewhere different but won’t be going back. As lovely as the waitresses were the food didn’t cut it. Sunday dinner menu said it would come with ‘all the trimmings, mash potato stuffing etc) it arrived with none of that and merely a plate of Beef, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. When we asked about the stuffing etc. the waitress asked the kitchen but apparently there wasn’t any... The side of veg that came looked old, tired, limp, over cooked and probably left for ages on a warm plate before being microwaved again (the most basic carrot broccoli and cauliflower). The decor was all dated. It’s got so much potential as it’s in a beautiful spot and with such lovely staff - a shame really

Fantastic pub, terrific food, lovely atmosphere, wood burning stove, totally welcoming and relaxing. Lovely staff. Everything a village pub should be.

family Sunday lunch was a pretty poor experience. asked to pre-order we looked on the website, only to be told on placing our order that some of the web site options were not available ! basics really. the young bar & waiting staff were smiling & helpful but ultimately lacked managerial direction. we had to ask for additional drinks & condiments, plus our bill & the card machine...the staff are busy & seemed to forget us as they served other customers...a bit frustrating. the main disappointment was the quality of the food, the loin of pork was over cooked & instead of carved slices it was a huge blob of meat ! the accompanying veg was over cooked & tasteless - steamed parsnips was a v strange option. Yorkshire pubs were a good size but again lacked flavour. The desserts were better quality, flavour & taste. but all in it was poor & sad to say there are plenty of better local options

9 + a baby came for our Christmas Eve meal. On arrival the pub was packed with Christmas Joviality. We had pre booked a table and all our food choices to make things easier for everyone. Food was tasty and plentiful staff were all friendly and attentive even with the pub exceptionally busy. Great early evening pre Christmas get together with good food and company

Around 30 of us had a pre ordered dinner. Food very late arriving, dreadful quality. Appalling service. I know reviews of this pub are varied, but this was so bad we will need a lot of persuading to go back.

Home made sausages, beautifully seasoned with fresh, wonderful mash and gravy you could slice. Perfect. Actual, proper, English Bangers & Mash

Tried for the first time and will be the last.bangers and mash should be a simple meal but was lumpy and tough sausage,staff not capable of making a coffee(machine not working)but they have had a chance and there are plenty of more good pubs in the area.

El domingo al mediodía de hoy, nada especial, el servicio fue muy lento, la comida solo estuvo bien, nada más. Nos dijeron que la sopa del día era de calabaza y en realidad, cuando llegó, definitivamente no fue así, cuando la cuestionamos, nos dijeron que era una sopa de chirivía. De Verdad? . La salsa era triste, el cerdo no era bueno. No tendrá prisa por volver

Hicimos una llamada de camino a Richmond y no nos hicieron sentir

Absolutely brilliant lunch.. great service, price and very tasty meal. Definitely worth a visit 👍🏼

Hemos comido aquí varias veces anteriormente, pero la comida ha ido seriamente ido cuesta abajo. Pedimos el pastel del día, que se suponía que era cerdo y manzana, pero resultó ser demasiado cocido, lo que resultó en una especie de salsa de cerdo en un plato con una masa de pastel. Las zanahorias estaban tan poco cocinadas y eran difíciles de comer. Nuestro amigo tenía el pescado y las patatas fritas. Había casi tanta masa cruda y espesa sin cocer como el pescado. . de nuevo incomible. Para terminar, después de pedir cafés, nos dijeron que la máquina de café no estaba funcionando.

Este es un encantador pub para perros que sirve deliciosos platos británicos. Hay un área dedicada para perros en el cómodo bar. Los asientos en la parte de atrás es precioso también. También hemos visitado a amigos que han quedado impresionados. Siempre haremos una parada para disfrutar de un delicioso almuerzo o cena.

Picked this for Sunday dinner based upon the variety on the Sunday menu on their website. When arrived we found the option of 3 very bland starters and option of 4 meat roast dinners. Completely different from the menu online with alternative options for those who don’t fancy a roast. Whilst the meat was slow cooked and lovely the veg was uncooked and disappointing. The mash, stuffing and pigs in blankets were also missing which were on the online menu.

Well, I don’t normally scrutinise Tripadvisor reviews in detail, but there’s something fishy here. The Pax is a jolly nice village pub doing its best under new management in an age when pubs are going out of business like ninepins and it certainly doesn’t deserve the minority of derogatory reviews it has received recently. Visit it and just judge for yourself.

So this was the 2nd time we’ve been here since it was under new management. First time there were niggles but put it down to new management etc... this time can’t really put it down to that.

Visited on Sunday had a fantastic Sunday dinner home made Yorkshire pudding nice rare beef the gravy to die for.

I recently visited the pub on a recommendation from a few friends. What a find. The place is gorgeous and the staff welcoming and so friendly.

Had a great lunch in The Pax Inn. Good service, quality food and a lovely atmosphere in the outside eating area.

First visit a couple of months ago was a disaster. However, we always give places the benefit of the doubt and went back within the last week.

We don’t usually like to complain but unfortunately on this occasion we found it necessary to voice our opinion. Recently we had a visit to the pax inn the food was overpriced service terrible and cheap wine on offer to say how much of a price mark is up on it. Terrible. Will not be returning unless measures are taken to update the establishment and service. New ownership is clearly not taking off well....

Stopped at the pax inn for lunch with my family. In a village with lots of pubs this one stands out as the prettiest, with a fabulous outside area. We ordered beef Sunday dinners, which was absolutely delicious!!!!The staff were very friendly and quick to Order our food. I normally can’t be bothered to write reviews, but this place is special and deserves the custom. Enjoy

I recently visited here with a few friends, we wanted to try somewhere new to eat & have drinks. We all had heard loads of amazing feedback from various people over the past few months, so thought it was about time we go try it out. I was so excited & couldn't wait to see inside the pub, to go have a good nosey around. It looked gorgeous, I loved all the different rooms & eating areas, aswell as a large open drinking area. It was such a hot sunny day though, we all wanted to sit outside in the sunshine. We were served our drinks, meals & other requests, without any bother. The waitress was very friendly & helpful . I had the Sunday roast which was scrumptious! My friends were all very happy with their meals..we had such a lovely visit. We'll definitely be back again ... thank you so much

Weve been here a couple of times but last week was abysmal. we asked to 2 coke's with our lunch. served up freeway cola ,from a plastic bottle, that was as flat as your cap. so that was returned, no apology. then cola from the multi soft drinks dispencer was given. still not sure it was coke!

We had heard about the Pax Inn from our friends who have visited this wonderful piece of Yorkshire on many occasions so decided to try it for ourselves and we were not disappointed at all!

We first ate at the Pax around a month ago, and the service and food was fantastic. The Yorkshire Pudding wrap was one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The chef even left the kitchen to come and chat to us, and to see how our meal was!

Although we have been to the pax inn a few times, this afternoons offerings were abysmal.

The starters were just about ok but took a long while to arrive, the main course arrived about an hour after ordering and was a disaster. If we hadn't been so hungry we would have just left !!. The scampi & chips had burnt chips and equally overdone scampi, my gammon was also burnt greasy and far to salty with an fried egg burnt and covered in grease with the same burnt chips. These two dishes should be impossible to ruin but they managed it !!. I will not be revisiting.

While staying in Boston Spa we found this wonderful pub, we ate there twice and on each occasion the food was excellent, giving a wide variety of dairy free and gluten free dishes. The Chef is happy to swap chips for new potatoes or more veg. The fish came highly recommended and having tried the Lemon Sole and Sea Bass, we would agree. The landlady, Adele, is very welcoming and has a great sense of humour, would happily eat there again.

Seemed to have a good selection of real ales - but, as designated driver, I could not try them.

Been here a couple of times recently with my mum. The food has been excellent on both occasions - the staff are friendly and welcoming. Sunday lunch - generous portions and tasty. Best chocolate brownies ever!!!

Driving through boston spa today and came across this pub the paxs inn we decided to call inn as it was ever so warm for a drink .. once inn we felt so relaxed with the friendly pub manger karl .. we decided to eat lunch there . which 3 of us had steak and vegetables and and the other 3 had fish and chips ...we was so overwhelmed with the high standard of food and service we all requested to thank the chef in person and the lovely manager karl ..A big thank 2 the paxs inn for a lovely afternoon and will be back again soon definitely xxx we all would definitely recommend the paxs inn for food and service .... Mr and Mr .. Brook xxxxx

Had lunch here today, something we do every so often. My wife ordred the soup, which was shown on both the Specials Board and on the bar as Mushroom, but when when it came, without any explanation, it was French Onion. Though it was good, my wife would not have ordered it if she had known. She then had Calamari with what was described on the menu as 'wild watercress salad, which she paricularly likes. When this came, again without any explanation, it was three lettuce leaves with a small piece of tomato together with a little bit of onion and cucumber.

Went with the family on Sunday traditional roast with large home made yorkshire puddings yummy under new management new head chef give it a try won't be disappointed

Excellent food very nice atentive staff. Comfortable dinning area and easy parking and easy to find just off the motorway.
