The Podger in Leeds

We had a leisurely lunch and a few drinks. Very friendly service and good quality food. We will definitely return and sample more dishes.

Always excellent service from very courteous staff , good always piping hot .Would highly recommend a visit , cater for all ages .

had a great time here, the staff are friendly and make you feel welcomed. the food is always fresh and hot and has good presentation

We got to the podger and had a quick chat to Lindsey who had just finished her shift. Lindsey always asks how you are doing and always has a happy smile for you. On approaching the bar it turns out that Katie had seen us chatting and had already pulled our drinks. Katie is so efficient and works extremely hard. Lucas served us later and he is so polite and nothing is too much trouble.

We visit every few weeks with friends who live in Garforth so we tend to come for lunch. Always friendly, clean and welcoming. We usually have mains and desserts as well as drinks. On Monday 19th August, even though they were short staffed due to illness, we had four lovely main meals, two delicious desserts, two pints, two cokes and a bottle of wine. All meals served piping hot, well presented and were tasty. Friendly service and we did not wait long to be served. Bill came to about £55 for the four of us and for “pub grub” we had no complaints. Would recommend.

Myself and a friend met at The Podger for drinks and food. We were given a warm welcome by Sarah who helped us choose the best place to sit for our needs. Ordering the food was easy and the Bar Man asked us how we would like the food cooking and choices of sauces and condiments. We were both amazed by the quality of the food for the price and the prompt service considering the pub was very busy. We would give our visit 5***** and will be going back soon Well done to Management and Staff

Lovely place for a catch up with friends and family . Staff always friendly and food was really nice would highly recommend.

This restaurant does NOT accommodate for everyone. I can’t have any dairy and not one item on the menu was suitable for me. I wanted to get the southern fried chicken rap but the coat the chicken in buttermilk. I asked if they could just do it with egg, flour and breadcrumbs and seasoning but they said no because it’s already pre made. The main waiter came over to me and said they can do me a plain grilled chicken rap but then he came back and said that they also cover the plain chicken in milk. No idea why. We went through the whole menu and the ingredients and every single item contains milk and there was also not a single vegan option of food. I ended up eating a small bowl of chilly heat wave Doritos that they brought me in a tiny bowl, no more than 5 Doritos. Then on the bill they charged me £5.26 for it. Absolutely joke. I spoke to the manager and he took the price off. Not good enough at all !!! Will not be going again and I don’t recommend this place to anyone with food preferences as you will probably end up with nothing.

A lovely place to meet up with my family, the fish and chips were amazing . The staff are so friendly and very helpful.

Came in last friday with a friend of mine around 6 o clock the food was flat cold and took an hour to get to begin with, bar staff slurring words and other bar staff smelling of weed

A friend and I take our babies here on a semi-regular basis and always have the best time. The food is good and is a fantastic price. The staff are gems, and so family friendly! Can’t recommend this place enough.

We had lunch on Monday. My daughter, her boyfriend and Grandaughter. Great friendly service and tasty food. Really good meal deals. We had fish and chips they were delicious. Nice friendly touch was automatically bringing a spare plate with a small knife and fork for my Grandaughter. The pub was clean and well presented. Sat chatting to a lovely gent who was clearly a regular. Will definitely go again and highly recommend.

Great service Great food Unbelievable value 11 of us went for lunch thought they had undercharged us Highly recommended

Lovely food at a great price, staff very friendly and accommodating ,mentioned it was my mums birthday an they sorted us out. Recommend definitely!

This is a good local pub offering a good selection of food and drinks. The staff are always friendly and helpful. We tend to visit lunch time or early evening and have not needed to reserve a table. The steak menu is a good option. There is also an excellent childrens menu with plenty of choices.

I went to The Podger a few weeks ago with my sister & our granddaughters for lunch & have to say I’m so glad we did. I took my husband for lunch last Sunday & we took our friends for lunch on Friday & they were all as impressed as I was. The staff are so friendly & welcoming, the food is delicious & the prices are really reasonable. I am gluten free & the choice is really good, the staff were really attentive to my needs & really went the extra mile to accommodate me, the lady behind the bar(I don’t know her name) remembered me & was really lovely & helpful. The children’s menu is really good too, the girls loved the ice cream sundaes. We would definitely recommend The Podger for a nice lunch.

Visited this pub with my husband and young daughter. The team at The Podger were nothing but friendly and helpful. They made such an effort with our little daughter. The food was yummy, such great value for money!

Fantastic food and service, staff 100/100 great staff always helpful and make time for you will be back again 😀

Very friendly helpful staff. Dog friendly. Great Sizzler food & a vast range of drinks. Go quite often. Has a large parking area & outside drinking area. Good for booking parties.

Came to the pub with family and enjoyed a fantastic meal with fabulous service. Ordered buttermilk chicken stack and was cooked to perfection and made to my specific requirements! Bar staff were attentive and friendly and all meals were hot and served promptly. A couple on the table next to us were chatting us about how they always go and order the mixed grill as it is the best they have ever had!

Excellent lunch at The Podger. The staff were all very polite and welcoming. We was served by Emma who was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We ordered the surf and turf and fajitas. The steak was excellent and my wife really enjoyed...

Decided to try their take-away delivery service, i ordered the Hunters chicken with seasoned chips, peas & barbecue gravy and my daughter ordered Grilled chicken burger. The delivery time was quick presumably because of the cooking method -MICROWAVED! The hunters chicken was like rubber along...

Second visit to The Podger to see if the first one was so good and we were not disappointed. Great menu choice, reasonable prices, friendly and welcoming staff then well prepared and presented food. Can't wait to call again to try other items from the...

They've outsourced all responsibility to the glass onion app but the info on the app disagrees with what they have written down at the pub. No understanding of the detail. Eg. Sirloin steak contains gluten. Presumably, the meat itself doesn't so is this just gluten...

Visited for food on Saturday. We used to adore the pizzas here and even recently (after the takeover) my partner had a great bean burger. But the menu has recently been changed yet again and it's gone chainy. Service was incredibly slow despite the place...

Well booked a treat night and was so disappointed. Service was so slow , only saw 3 other tables eating so nice too busy, waited 55 minutes for starters, bearing in my mind you order on your phone now there is little for staff to...

Made one of our regular visits to The Podger, and once again everything was excellent. The pub is part of The Sizzling pubs chain, but the food and the service do not disappoint. There were 6 of us, and everybody was more than pleased with...

Visited here as we were in the area, pleasant staff and a warm welcome received, food was served quite quickly, was hot and tasty. Nice pub / restaurant worth a visit if you are passing

We were a group of 17 with a multitude of menu selections from the Festive Three Course Menu. Despite a very busy Friday night venue all of us were served quickly and courteously by two ‘dedicated’ young ladies, Katie and Lindsay. Never having eaten here...

Can't recommend this place highly enough. Lovely staff, cosy atmosphere and the food was amazing. Came to the table so hot it was sizzling on the plates in front of us

A nice visit for a cheap and cheerful meal accompanied with a very nice pint of Tetleys and a glass of wine for my other half. Both our meals were good value and quality for money. The staff were also very polite and friendly.

My husband and I went for lunch today arrived at 13:05 ordered straight away finally meal arrived at 14:35, steak was tough and inedible. Will not visit again.

Visiting from out of area with my son, and staying in a nearby chain hotel. Son wanted to watch football so googled for food and footie in local area and took a chance. Glad we did food was great, hot and huge portions which were...

Eaten here many times since reopening. Food never disappoints ,food cooked scratch as far as I can tell as always piping hot , which is really what I want when I’m eating out 👍Staff always welcoming and accommodating 😊

Excellent value.will return.cheap cocktails.great service and food.relaxed atmosphere.clean place.friendly manager.first visit.looking forward to next time.can recommend the breakfast and purple rain cocktail 🍸

Drinks are cheap-ish, but food can be rather expensive for what it is. Mostly seems to be reheated, rather than freshly cooked to order.

Really good food and reasonable value. Great local pub for those midweek meals when you want a break from home cooking. We often eat at the Podger and have always had good experience. The staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Called in on spec on a quiet Monday. There were at least 6 empty tables in view but the barman told us he was sorry but they were booked solid and couldn't fit us in. No problem, we went round to Wetherspoons and dined like...

I recently visited the Podger with my children for lunch; my son has a peanut allergy and the care and attention we received was first rate with lots of information at hand to make informed decisions. Would definitely visit again.

Marvellous food for what you pay always well cooked and hot.Staff are brilliant so helpful definitely go again best value around.

Not the greatest pub in Garforth. Better off in Spoons or Gascoigne in terms of friendly Atmospheres

Met a friend for lunch today, first time since lockdown that we’ve got together. Have to say it just felt so refreshingly normal ! Very high hygiene standards, great food and the lad that looked after us was just lovely. Friendly and funny, a real...

Been a few times now since lockdown ended and everything has been perfect. Good systems of control re hygiene and food quality excellent. Sam as efficient as ever! Will be back soon 😊

Was rather apprehensive about going back into a pub but must say I was very impressed by the measures that the Management had put in place to keep visitors and staff safe. Social Distancing and sanitisation was paramount to staff and the food is just...

I have been with my family a few times since the refurb happened around December. The food has been excellent every time I have been. Staff are always great and was a lovely atmosphere. I'm usually cautious of pub meals and particularly smaller pubs as...

Very friendly staff, and the food was very good, have been twice now and will def go back.not too far for us to travel to, the place was very well kept

Six decent plates of food for not a lot of money. Haddock and chips was excellent. Great service from all the staff, especially Sam. Only a young lad but a master at customer service, fantastic with the kids. Would definitely call again if passing.

Called into the Podger to see what had changed after the refurb. Impressed clear to see it had been brought up to date without losing its character. Food good, beer gd well worth a trip. Great friendly staff. You will not be disappointed.

Went at lunch time, for a snack,ended up having GoldenOldies menu,mushrooms in batter followed by sausage and mash £4-99.Excellent value.Stafff very pleasant,just been refurbished to a high standard.will certainly be returning.

A nice local pub that does good quality drinks at reasonable prices family and children friendly has a nice beer garden with a tv and shows lots of sports on over ten TVs they have there

Fantastic food and friendly bar staff. Thank you to Mark and the team. We would highly recommend this family friendly pub

He visitado el podger en dos ocasiones y en ambas ocasiones no estaba feliz, estaba con mi esposa que pronto sería un día soleado y estábamos hambrientos. Ordené del menú una envoltura de pollo. Le pregunté si podía agregar cebollas. Para envolverlo fue cuando me miraron como si hubiera prendido fuego al perro abridores "no, no puedes", después de unas pocas palabras elegidas, decidí dejar la discusión y comerme mi envoltura sin cebolla.Hoy fue la última gota que fui y pedí una pizza, ya que he comido pizzas de aquí antes de que supiera que no estaban a la par y necesitaba más queso, así que pregunté detrás de la barra si podía pagar un poco de queso extra y estaba No, no podemos hacer eso debido a razones de almacenamiento, ¿qué pasó con el cliente siempre tiene la razón? ¿Y si fuera a pagar un poco más, no sería un problema de almacenamiento, ya que el queso sería considerado y pagado?EL SERVICIO DE ATENCIÓN AL CLIENTE POR UN PUNTO RUBIANO NO ES SANGRE FELIZ! ! !

He sido mi local desde hace bastante tiempo, pero me he ido de mala calidad recientemente. Las sillas están gastadas y están muy manchadas, al igual que la alfombra, las áreas de descanso son igual de malas, las mesas parecen haber tenido un invierno afuera. Es una pena.

Gran valor para la comida de dinero. La cerveza está bien de precio para algunos pubs. Se puede conseguir un buggy doble alrededor del lugar que muchos lugares en los que tengo problemas cuando quiero salir para una comida familiar. El personal es amable y servicial. El menú para niños es excelente y tiene una buena relación calidad-precio. El deporte está bien anunciado y ofrece también. Vale la pena una comida fuera. Si quieres comida rápida y barata, ve a las cucharas, pero si quieres algo sabroso y con una buena relación calidad-precio, haz clic aquí.

Mi amigo y yo nos reuniremos para un paseo semanal de perros y hemos estado probando los pubs en el área local.

They have just changed their menu & the food was excellent! All 5 of us had something good to say about our meals & we will definitely return. Pleasant friendly staff as usual, good atmosphere.

The food, people and all around pub is incredible. People are great and service is amazing! Will definitely return!! 5 stars!!!

Always a great time to be had at the podger! Great pizzas too :) loads of choice vegan and vegetarian friendly too!

Been here with my wife and another couple and we were excellently served. Nice atmosphere, hosted by Mark and Jackie and very well served. Food was divine. Highly recommended.

Lovely atmosphere with great fresh food 😁 enjoyed a lovely family/friends meal on a few occasions. Never disappointed

The Podgers is the place to be in Garforth. From friendly great staff to the best food for miles. I love the place and will recommend to anyone.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I'm in England on holiday visiting friends and was recommended the Podger for their excellent pizzas. I travel a lot and can honestly say that their pizzas deserve top marks. They compete with Italy's best pizza places... Well done to all concerned... Excellent service with friendly staff.... Keep up the good work guys!

I've been here a million times with friends, family and partner. Partner loves the beer and sports, I love their alcohol and pizzas!! The pizzas are delicious! Friendly and great service :)

Called for a quick drink and one of your fantastic pizzas never fail to be great. Great size great price and made before your very eyes once again thank you 😊👍

Lovely food a good atmosphere & great staff. Great place to go watch sport. Has a private room you can book for parties.

The pizzas are prepared with fresh ingredients and fresh dough made daily on the premises. I like that you can be flexible with your toppings and practically build your own pizza. They were Delicious.......will be back especially as the offer of 241 Monday to Friday is too good to miss out on! The atmosphere was casual and friendly and plenty of tvs to watch your favorite sport. The staff were friendly and efficient and I can't wait to return..... Thank you

We head over to Garforth from York each week to visit a friend and often call in the Podger for food and drink. We’ve tried a number of pizzas and they are all good, freshly made and baked in a pizza oven. They have deals all week with buying one pizza and getting one free. They have other food options too but pizzas are definitely a winner. The staff are all excellent and very attentive to customers needs. I’ll be back again next week.

Fuimos a la Podger con amigos pedimos dos pizzas y el pato envuelve y pelotas de masa.

Fui ayer con nuestros nietos. Las pizzas eran encantadores, ingredientes muy imaginativo y me gustó especialmente lo que podría llegar a 500 calorías. El personal era amable y estaba genial para ver unas cuantas personas relajante en un pub a las 6 de la tarde un martes

Gran ambiente, personal amable y pizzas frescas deliciosas. DJ era perfecto, jugando buena música para todas las edades.

Llamado aquí para el almuerzo en el lunes de pascua. Mi hija se ha trasladado a la zona, por lo que pensamos de la gente! El Pub parece como si ha sido recientemente reformado y muy bien también. . Muchas Televisiones. Para aquellos que quieran un partido, y cabañas retro espacio invasor de la máquina! No podemos ir sin tener un ir! Sin embargo, estábamos allí para el almuerzo y después, el menú brousing mi hija optaron por una pizza recién hecha, mi compañero tenía una hamburguesa y tuve un plato de pasta con pollo, con un poco de pan de ajo y tomé preciosa extra para compartir. Todos llegamos recién hecho y bien caliente y muy sabroso. Después devorando a nuestros platos principales decidimos coger un pud. 3 cucharas y, optamos por la manzana y crema pastelera calzone. ¡Dios mío! Fue massisve! Un montón de manzanas y flan casero en un fresco calzone pasty. . No para los pusilánimes y me alegro de haber encontrado a compartir sirve con algunos helados encantador en el lateral. . . Yum Yum! Toda la factura con una bebida cada vino a poco más de £38 una muy buena relación calidad-precio. El personal era muy agradable y amable. . . Sin duda volveremos. . ¡Bien hecho!

Con mi hija llamado después de unos días en Nueva York (viernes por la tarde). . . Estuvimos llamando para ver a mi hijo menor que vive en Garforth y eran poco temprano. . .

We've been many times on an evening. Lots of good seating if you want a quiet drink in a corner or a more lively area with sport on TV. The pizza is great and we definitely will be back

Great Local Pub run by a great team, plenty of events on and great pizza. Mark and Jackie also are involved with many community works including the local Amateur Rugby League team.

The fresh dough pizzas are amazing, so tasty. Great friendly and efficient staff and good selection of wines and beers. Can't wait to go back.

Pizzas are just like traditional Italian pizzas. Waiters are lovely great atmosphere reasonably priced as well.

My friends and I met at the Podger for a pre Christmas catch up. The Pizzas were amazing and the Slice Card discount made it even more appealing. The staff were friendly and happy to help and advice us on our menu choice. As it was our Christmas get together, it would have been rude not to sample one of their cocktails and I have to say it was every bit as good and as any I have had in a posh pub in Leeds at a fraction of the price. Well done Guys we will be back

Amazing atmosphere everytime great service and amazing food will always be number 1 choice in Garforth

This was my first visit. First impressions not great as seems beer garden had been set on fire! Food however was very good and extremely good value, pizza is 2 for 1 on a Tuesday. Toilets not the cleanest though and no baby change facilities!

Good choice of beers at good prices, fantastic pizza. friendly and efficient staff. A good local pub. I will visit again.

I used to use this as my local before moving away so it's been a couple of years since I was last in. Needed a pizza in a less formal environment to the other place in Garforth. Great to see the place still works well, quick service, clean, although the toilets could do with a refurb. Mark and Jacqui run a great place here and have for many years, many congratulations to them for a pretty good team.Food is good, wines are fine, it is wall to wall sport on the TV but that is what the vast majority of customers in there want so it's well supplied and music takes over from commentary unless there is a big match on, I get that.All in all, really pleased to see it is a pretty clean and safe place to go with friends, family or just a solo visit

Great place where the pizzas are to die for! There's always plenty of sports and on a weekend there's live entertainment! This used to be my local but now I've moved I miss the place! Well worth a visit.

Very clean and pleasant establishment serving great beer and brilliant pizzas. All staff are very efficient and pleasant making it a superb environment.

Always going in for a drink. Not the best selection of beers but it's reasonably priced and is well stocked with other drinks. Interior is good with a mix of modern and original. Great for watching any sports and the food is great. Again the food is well priced and if you have a slice card it keep your returning custom for sure.

Good menu and nice home cooked food all made from scratch.good bar.large pub with huge car park and a decent sized beer garden.

The Podger is a fantastic, family run pub, with a great atmosphere. The pizza is delicious, really fresh and made right in front of you. The pub is perfect for watching sport with numerous screens!

Great local pub with a warm friendly atmosphere. Decent drink offers and the pizzas are amazing! I signed up for a 'slice card' (loyalty card) and got 20% off my food bill. So definitely worth a return visit.

Great atmosphere, food freshly prepared and very nice. Pizzas are so fresh and tasty, great place for a good night out if you just want a drink but good for families early doors for food. Big screen TVs for your sport so can be really busy when big sports events are on and a long wait for food on these days/nights.

Pizzas here are better than any takeaway around Garforth. Great pub also, keep it up ☺ great selection of sports on tv and great friendly staff. Highly recomend

Great food and very friendly staff , will definately come here again, two for one pizzas on a tuesday sounds like a win.

The pizza is absolutely amazing here, would more than recommend this place! I must admit I've only had the pizza but that's only because it's so nice!

Great service friendly staff helpful great food nice beer clean environment good atmosphere good food this is a pub that is well worth a trip to whether you want a Sunday dinner to a light snack or a birthday celebration this pub can cover it all

The pizza's a home made & you can see the chef making them in the bar area.As a family we like pizza, but on a Tuesday it's 2 for 1, so we can often dine for under £30 which includes drinks.Been a couple of times & had different pizza's each time & all have been fresh & tasty.

Extremely efficient and friendly service. Great atmosphere and good for all age groups. The pizzas are to die for probably the best I've ever had. They have quiz nights, discos (including 70's/80's alternate fridays) 2 for 1 pizzas on Tuesdays, 2 for 1 cocktails on Thursdays. There is something for everyone. Including a "Wall of Sport".

Fantastic tasty pizzas and salads, great value on 241 Tuesday's. Love the live Bands once a month and weekly dj.... Great friendly Local serving scrumptious pizzas and more....

The Podger is a great pub for watching sport, it has a whole wall dedicated to it, with large tv screen and comfy chairs as well as offering 100% fresh dough pizzas. A great choice that goes hand in hand with watching sport with your family or friends - plenty of parking with a great outdoor space

Must rank among one of the worst pizza ever - the topping from one slice was spread over the whole pizza - unbelievable - no taste - if blindfolded you would not know what flavor had been put in front of you - this is what happens when eating places are controlled by accountants

I visited the Podger with my family for a special occasion. The Podger did not disspoint with the staff members being pleasent and happy to help and advise on pizzas.The food arrived promptly after order and was of a good quality with a nice thin and crisp base (If not slightly overly crisp) and with flavoursome toppings. Although a member of our party did not recieve his chosen dish as we were told it would not be prepared in time for the other dishes so they decided to change their order. I appreciated being told in advance about possible delays as we all wanted our dishes to arrive at the same time so we could eat as a group.Overall for the price (On Tuesdays pizzas are two for one) you can't argue with the Podger. I have been before and on both occasions the staff and food quality have been more than acceptable.

So the podger is good for a quick bite, but if you are looking for a proper sit-down meal then this isn't for you. It's good for pizza etc.I'd recommend La Bella Vita if you want that in Garforth or jump on the train to Leeds City Centre

hand made pizza, sport on the TV and good selection of beer. What is there not to like. Cheap and cheerful and not pretending to be anything else!
