The Royal Hotel in Leeds

A cracking old pub that serves decent beer, what's not to like? Here for a birthday celebration and the buffet was terrific

I have Visited the Royal on several occasions with husband and family. Love the Sunday roasts and recently had a mixed meat Roast dinner platter for two with Yorkshire puddings which was very nice and an extra jug of gravy. There is a great selection of hot and cold Traditional English puddings for dessert. Good range of Drinks at average price. Cosy pub with a fireplace friendly atmosphere and staff friendly.. Adequate seating inside and a few tables outside.. Clean toilets, and Street Parking.

Best Sunday dinner I have had for a while, there were six of us and we all enjoyed it.

Booked the doghouse room upstairs for a private party. Communication was great and answered all my questions. We had access the morning of the party to set up. The room looked amazing. Lovely decor, from the tables to the buffet food. There was so much food and a wide variety. Frankie was on the bar and was so friendly to all the guests. I would highly recommend hiring the room. So glad I chose there

Staff were amazing. We did a surprise 80th party for my mother-in-law and the room was set out lovely .franky was very helpful couldn't do enough for you .all had a great time so thanks everyone at the royal

Very pleased to find a proper pub within (just about) walking distance from where we live. The beer garden is decent and the interior has plenty of period fixtures and fitting with lots of charm. How pubs used to be!

Very good local for a great selection of real ales. And do a great quiz on a Wednesday night.

This is the forth time we've been here for food , there steak pies are amazing, to be honest all the food they serve are unbelievable amazing , would recommend a visit here 100%

Attended as part of a congregation using the function room. The posters on the wall are great, but some of them are not child-friendly (curse words), however, this does not reflect on the service and accessibility of the building. Very cheap and friendly. Huge beer garden round the back and appears to have a BBQ for use during summertime. Highly recommended.

We have just been for Sunday dinner and the food was amazing. I had the beef dinner and it was delicious I have to give the green beans themselves a shout out. My 13 year old had the royal burger and he said it’s the best burger he has ever had (it was massive). The service we received was outstanding the staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you

Great food, great Guinness, great atmosphere and very cosy

A real traditional pub we a well kept cellar.

We recently had a surprise party here for my wife. I have to say I was a little stressed at the thought of organising things but I needn't have bothered. The landlady's sorted everything for me. Decorations, food, music etc It was a fantastic night, everyone enjoyed the food, the atmosphere was perfect and everyone commented on what a great time they had. Thanks to all the staff who helped make it a night to remember. I will definitely be recommend the venue to anyone.

THE best cottage pie ever, roasts dinners are amazing too - even do food for the dog. Cracking pub and amazing food.

High quality traditional Sunday lunch. The meal was superb, the team (staff, managers and owners) are relaxed and welcoming and the drinks excellent. The music and atmosphere was great as always. Over many years we have always relied on The Royal for a lovely relaxed place whether it's for a drink, food or their events throughout the year Long may it continue Also posted same review on TripAdvisor

Love this pub probably the best in pudsey.

Great pub,good selection of beers foods very good

A good selection of regular changing ales 🍺 and tasty food, all at reasonable prices.

Really gone down the pan. A year ago we had to pray to get a table for Sunday lunch, a late call we asked have you any available, we're told yes and we asked to come at 1pm, the place was Empty not one other diner which we thought odd. We ordered 2 beers which were actually warm but he had got them from a fridge.. Then the lunch arrived, I just was like... Wtf is that, congealed looking yellow lumpy mash piled up with what looked like a week old steeped peas though the bar man had not stipulated the peas were mushy peas and I assumed garden peas so my fault for not asking I suppose. I'd have rather gone and given my £30+ to some poor homeless person. They used to be packed out for Sunday lunches and also did doggy Sunday lunches too. The dog lunches they used to serve up looked better than what we actually had serve up today. The woman wasn't around and no one was behind the bar as we left so just left the food on the table. Will Never be going back there.

Nice local place! Dogs are allowed and welcomed

Great for drinks food and football and a fab outdoor bit for summer

Drinks⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Service⭐⭐⭐⭐ Vibe⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great local pub with a good selection of beers and the like. Nice setup/layout downstairs with good sized separate rooms. The upstairs room is a decent size and has its own separate bar. It makes the room great for private parties/functions/gigs.

Oh the pies! The reputation for their excellence is absolutely deserved. The food is uncomplicated and absolutely delicious! We don't get there often but always look forward to a fabulous pie!

Lovely local pub multi fuel log burning stoves in food also available 😀

Damn busy, great staff, reasonable prices. Proper pub.

Fantastic food and incredibly friendly people running it. We came for a 40th celebration meal and it was outstanding. Thanks so much.

Great friendly local pub, with good choice of real ales which are kept well. Good quiz on a Weds night.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff

Love going there friendly always busy

Lovely pub with lots of little nooks so you can have a nice quiet night if that's what you want, plus a good size beer garden when it's nice

Very nice pub with a lovely beer garden

Watched England brilliant afternoon/night Friendly clean pub. Highly recommend

Great pie food and beer not bad too.

Great pub! Visited for their annual Armed Forces Day music festival!! Great support to Royal British Legion - as always!!

Great pub, great beer, great staff. Always feel really at home here.

Not a bad place t chill nice beer garden.

Popped in for sunny day pint, was quite nice, esp the area outside, now a feature,not an eyesore.

Pies are great, beer selection great, ring ahead regarding food.

Fantastic pub - good range of beers on, friendly staff - great spot for a pie & a pint in the evening after work. Food served 3pm-8pm Mon-Thurs and 12pm-5pm Fri-Sun.

Excellent, good beer and a really decent place.

Honestly the worst venue I have ever had the privilege of entering. Organised a gender reveal party in their upstairs room, £50 for the room and a £150 deposit. On arrival the 1st problem was the shared toilet had no lock so anyone could walk in on you (women and children were at this party) so I find this highly unacceptable. The upstairs bar only had flat coors on offer as they had no gas ready. The 1st people who ordered were waiting 30 minutes for a drink as they hadn’t set the bar up. One of my guests asked if they could order food but were told that because we didn’t ask for catering we couldn’t order from their menu either…. Strange one but fair enough. What annoyed me was being approached by a member of staff and being made to feel like my guests had done something wrong for asking a simple question. There was no music for the 1st 90 mins then they kept turning it off and on. We finally heard a full song played through as we were leaving. We were told we could take the balloons home the next day, but as I was walking down the street from the pub I got a phone call from one of my guests. I was informed that unless we remove the balloons right now we would lose our £150 deposit. When I arrived back at the pub I found one of my pregnant guests had been made to carry everything down the stairs! Not good! I entered the premises to let them know I was unhappy and that I would like deposit back there and then. So they barred me for being aggressive (trust me, if I was aggressive they would know) the next morning we received a phone call saying that they were withholding £30 from our deposit because it took the cleaners 2 hours to remove food stains. Funny because we didn’t have catering and your staff refused to let my guests order food. So we paid them £50 for an unprepared room, put hundreds of pounds behind their bar, did all the glass collecting throughout the event and they have the audacity to try withhold even more money from a couple expecting their 1st child. P.s we were told as we left that the room was fine and we didn’t need to sort anything else out! There were more problems as well but even writing about my disappointment with place is upsetting. Thank you royal pub for ruining such a joyous occasion -5*

Cosy, decent beers, bit pricey.

Nice place friendly, well kept beers.

Great food, great beer amazing friendly staff... what more could anyone want? Highly recommend the Royal for a visit!

Food was delicious,and was given enough time to eat it in. Definitely be going back 👍😁

Good beers and a choice of four rooms

Lovely pub with lovely staff and a brilliant outside space

Great huge beer garden, plenty of rooms inside food smelled good.

One of the best pubs in Pudsey. Family and pets friendly, and you always feel welcome there. Great place to meet friends, have a drink after work, listen to a great music, watch footy, have a delicious Sunday roast, or to celebrate your birthday or any other special occasion. I was first introduced to this place by my good friend almost 10 years ago and visited many times since. This Thursday they organised a send off for my dear friend, the best send off one could wish for, with The mighty Cardinals playing great music. They took care of us as if we were a family, with a great food beautifully served and extremely friendly, hardworking staff looking after us. Highly recommended!

Great pub, friendly service, lovely beer garden.

Nice place for a pint. Shows live sport. Good hand pulled. Nice clean loos. Pieminster pies smell amazing.

Absolutely Brilliant Service and Staff a credit to the establishment

Sign in is required. Table service, quick and efficient. Didn't see much in place for Covid, aside from table social distancing.

First customer on a wet day; superb pint of cask and a delectable barmaid. Check out the Bentley Yorkshire Brewery stained glass in the back bar. A real pub.

One of the best pubs in Pudsey. Ample outdoor seating space, friendly and approachable bar staff and a decent selection of ales (they always have Punk IPA on tap). Great location (not far from Pudsey center) and the owner is dead friendly too. Cannot recommend this pub enough.

Nice garden, good service, sunny peaceful afternoon so why why why did we have to have ( not great) music playing ???

Fantastic service, the food was great and there's the Sunday lunch for your furry friend too.

Definitely one of my favourite pubs in Pudsey

Great pub, lovely friendly staff and large choice of drinks. Covid safe too

Great outdoor space for a sunny afternoon

Can't fault them staff brilliant well organised very efficient 👍

Friendly staff, lovely pub. Good social distancing and table service. Cosy room with the wood burner on

Our first indoor meeting of the GreensideGreenway for some months last night.

Visité un domingo muy ocupado con mamá. A pesar de que muchas mesas reservadas, el personal servicial y amable logró sentarnos.Maravilloso almuerzo del domingo, sabrosa carne de res y pollo perfectamente preparado. La mejor parte fue la salsa casera, llena de sabor y generosa porción.Muy recomendable pub local con un gran ambiente, volveremos pronto.

Lovely atmosphere. Warm welcome. Great pub.

There's nothing to fault if you want a nice pub with good friendly staff .

Great function room. Made to feel very welcome.

Came here after trying the Fleece for a Saturday afternoon drink. The fleece is not child friendly however The Royal was really welcoming, Lovely staff who were all accommodating of our 1 year old. Plenty of room so didn’t feel over crowded and Maintains traditional pub decor which we really liked. Will definitely be returning.

Really nice bar staff, family friendly environment, delicious pies and football on the tv! No complaints at all!

Visit for the works quiz night in Novrmber. Lovely pub and always lay on a fantastic spread for us.

Nice staff, decent beer and food. Good old pub!

Amazing food and lovely staff!! Definitely going again!!

Good local. Nice beer, nice atmosphere and dog friendly for those interested

Great little find. Fab outdoor barbecue area with lots of seating.

Well it was my first visit but I thought it was food wise inventive, yeah good

Fine - great pub unless it's 'too busy' (days I avoid these days)

Fabulous afternoon celebrating armed forces day

Excellent pint and good atmosphere!

Was here as a DJ, nice staff and great room. Would recommend for a small get together

Great place, great staff, and it's a pub. So great.

Great pub and has live music on sometimes

Lots of lovely beers, gins and all the usual drinks. The food is delicious and very fairly priced, even the dog can get a meal here. Lots of different groups meet up and there’s plenty of room for everyone.

Fantastic homely pub. The food is fantastic and the staff are brilliant. It's also dog friendly and they do a special Sunday dinner for your canine friend.10 out 10.

Fantastic pub with great staff, varied and high quality drinks selection, and excellent food on Sundays

Great pub very cosy .friendly staff

Our 1st visit - nice, friendly and welcoming acoustic open mic group. Will definitely come back.

Reservé esta sala de funciones de los pubs para mi 60. Realmente empujaron el bote, abrieron la sala 8 horas antes para que la banda se estableciera, decoraron la habitación con todo el balón, etc., se aseguraron de que el bar de arriba estuviera bien. atendió y puso algo de comida encantadora - gracias a Carrie y Ange, Frankie, Ajedrez, Jen, Kieren y Joe.

Great local pub, great choice of real ales, craft beers and lagers. Something for all with entertainment on certain nights.

This is a oldie worldly pub with a great atmosphere

Great place, lovely atmosphere. Great food. Highly recommend, one of the best pubs in Pudsey

Absolutely stunning pub. Great drinks and had an amazing pie. Really lovely bartender too. Great service. Look forward to returning!

Good beer good friendly service nice surroundings

Muchísimas gracias a Frankie y Joe y a todo el personal del Royal por ayudarme a que mi fiesta de cumpleaños 60 saliera tan bien. El lugar es perfecto para una banda en vivo con mucho espacio para cualquier bailarina. La comida del buffet frío y caliente era maravillosa y el chile vegetariano era para morirse. La cerveza era brillante y muchos de mis amigos y familiares comentaron sobre la selección de otras bebidas disponibles. Muchas gracias, si está buscando un lugar para una fiesta en Pudsey, o simplemente para ir a una buena cerveza, ¡no necesita buscar más!

Smashing pub. Super friendly staff, Punk IPA on tap and ace PieMinster pie's.

Great atmosphere with the Haley's, great night of country music

Lovely friendly pub, plenty of gin choice too

Very friendly staff, a really nice place to eat & drink

Muti-room pub with horse shoe bar in the middle selling real ale, only two on my visit but it was a Tuesday. Local Leeds branch of motorcycle action group meet upstairs in a function room . Friendly lot . Worth a visit.
