The Scribbling Mill (jd Wetherspoons) in Leeds

You know what you're getting, the staff are pleasant and friendly when you need to speak to them and it's not too loud

Only went in for coffee but it was fine, coffee was good as always in Spoons 😊

Really nice pint of Saltaire Blonde for £1.79!!! Quick service too. Made shopping bearable 😁

Service was excellent, Aimee did a really good job despite being completely rushed off her feet. Seemed a lot of the staff were stood around doing nothing but chatting and leaving Aimee and another member of staff to run food and work the bar? Otherwise lovely time here

The pub itself was okay, very busy on a Saturday lunchtime, service was good, food was okay. The worst element was finding it. As it is part of a huge shopping centre and the signage inside and outside of the shopping centre was appalling. Parking was chaotic and took you around several roundabouts, also getting out of the car park at the end was horrendous but to be fair it was mostly down to a football match at Eland road, a poor ring road and only one exit for the whole shopping centre. The place did it's best considering it's an awful situation and probably only worth visiting if you are already committed to the shopping centre.

Just standard pub food and good value for money, staff always attentive.

Not a fan of the whiterose in general but in fairness this spoons was nice and give off a nice atmosphere.

The breakfast is nice, and the service is good

Birthday big breakfast. Absolutely brilliant.

Great spoons at white rose shopping centre opposite cinema and restaurants like tgi and pizza hut. Usual food and drink deals with a 99p Monday pint of ruddles today

Nice relaxed spoons. Didn't eat here but the had Ruddles at 99p a pint! Quick bar service.

the Lavazza coffee is always nice and the best 🤩 ever best is unlimited refill here for £1.59 only 😍 food-wise (breakfast)... fairly ok...

Nice food, decent service But when did witherspoon become so expensive.

Staff were lovely but the quality of the food has gone down but the prices have gone up!

We went for our tea to Scribbling MillI asked for an American burger,Iwas served what seemed to me to be a child size Burger It had,a tiny amount ofsome sort of relish in the centre of the tiny burger and a few scrappy chips.no salad leaf garnish.For almost £9 I consider this to be daylight robbery! No more weather spoons, for us!

Like most spoons great prices,clean friendly and good service

This was the first time I had been here and must say everything was great could fault it at all , Keep up the good work 👍

Sat in this pub for 2 hours whilst my wife and to kids went shopping in the white rose everything was fine until my wife and kids joined me i had half a pint left and one staff member said my kids had to let there chips go cold or we had to leave as weatherspoons policy wont allow them to eat food not bought on site to be consumed. Witch i think is daft as it wasnt busy and no one else customers of staff had said anything

It's a small pub compared to other Wetherspoons i've been in. I only had coffee, which wasn't too bad considering it is out of a machine, and you can't complain if you are getting free refills. The place was clean and tidy, and most importantly for me, there was no blaring music, so I had a good conversation with my friends.

Great experience , great service given.

Love being here friendly staff and excellent customer service good food also

Great atmosphere very friendly and comfortable and a real sun trap outside

Enjoyed Fish and chips and a couple of pints of Carling. Not over priced and fast service.

pleasant surroundings good ale selection

Brilliant place to stop for food and drinks. Staff are amazing and so kind. The best Wetherspoons I’ve ever been in. Came in for breakfast the food was great and didn’t wait very long for it either!!

Early start in Leeds and a family breakfast at The Scribbling Mill started our day. And it didn't start well to be perfectly honest. One of the Wetherspoons chain and a pub that has clearly lost its way. The place was drab, unclean and just very, very tired. The staff did their best to be friendly at the bar but the malaise had obviously spread to the kitchen, sadly. The traditional breakfasts were just tossed together really, but not with enough force to shift the thick skin on the beans. It was adequate, at best. Symptomatic of the entire pub. Go if you must, but hardly recommended.

Great beers, the range of bitters has been increased to around six now. Lovely team of staff, and a great drop in when the wife is shopping. Really cheap as well.

Good service. Food to Wetherspoons standards. Venue is terrible. They have packed as many chairs and tables in as possible. Feels very compacted and over crowded

I can't go above 3 stars because of the price. For reference, we ate at the Morley spoons a few days earlier and I got the exact same food but at almost 100% markup. It was about 8 quid there but here, it was 14 even. Everything else is like any other spoons so if you don't mind paying the shopping centre premium then it's great

Small eating area and more expensive than an out of town spoons. Nothing special but it's ok. Could easily become claustrophobic for some people when busy.

Cosy little pub. Pint & food was good (Punk IPA & Halloumi Wrap) & the price was about the going rate. Atmosphere was pleasant, not rowdy & not too noisy either. I'm unsure about the toilet facilities as I didn't use them, although I'm presuming they were up a mountain of stairs 😂

Honestly the food was pretty meh, the staff look and respond to you like the don't care about there customers and the atmosphere is pretty dead especially with no music, the creepiest thing is the CCTV in the toilets, won't be going back in a great hurry especially with other great choices nearby

Food is ok staff do seem to look fed up I did have to ask for clean cutlery and the cutlery i was given had dried food on it I think you get what you pay for and it's very cheap.

It's a Weatherspoon. New though, built to look old.

£1.99 for a pint of Abbot Ale, can't be bad. It's a 'spoons. What can I say? Didn't have any food. Staff seemed a little unenthusiastic, but maybe at the end of a shift.

Lovely pub to take a breather while shopping

Typical wetherspoons however it is a lot more pricey than other sites. Noticeable difference. No smoking outside which isn't really good for a pub but I imagine these rules are set by the whiterose center. Food was nice and didn't take long to arrive.

Pizza was nice but slightly over cooked.

Decent little spoons, didn't eat here but the food looked nice that was being served. Staff were very miserable and didn't look like they wanted to be there. The tables were dirty and the toilets were worse, with no working hand dryers!

Food was good, however my 20 something daughter found ordering food on the app an ordeal. Atmosphere was dark and noisy.

Would have given 5 stars if they had CUSTARD! The most basic of treats and we are denied! Come on Weatherspoons! Get your act together. Listen to your customers please.😀

The Scribbling Mill is a nice, cozy place to enjoy a pint. With its warm atmosphere and friendly service, it’s perfect for a relaxing drink. Always a good choice for unwinding!

Good spoons breakfast - good value and attentive and friendly staff

Freezer to Microwave food but not half bad

Good food and drink staff seem friendly only issue was when it was quiet no one was clearing tables

Best wetherspoons we have been in. Staff were happy 😊, great service and atmosphere.

The usual weatherspoons quality and value. Had a leisurely lunch enjoyed it.

A smaller than normal spoons but handy if you're waiting to see a movie.

Good choice of food and served quickly.

Always love this 'spoons..Nice little place so not overwhelming like some other locations.

Service was good, lady behind the till very friendly, but the food was not anywhere near as good as other ones we've eaten at, the eggs were hard and everything was just barely warm, put us off coming again.

The staff are always friendly and helpful. The place is very clean

Food was awful, everything was freezing cold, it took a while so I was hoping it would be fresh, how I was wrong. To top it of the staff have no concept of manners, especially the blonde woman serving in the striped top, talk about attitude, absolutely no need for it. At least serve warm, edible food if you’re going to have the attitude of a 6 year old who’s been told no👍

It's nice to have a JDS not too far

A busy bar, unfortunately, once we managed to get a table, staff were slow to firstly collect previous family's food plates and glasses, however it wasn't until our food arrived that we were asked if we would like the table wiping, it was mining, why ask, but more to the point why wasn't it wiped when the table was cleared. Disappointed also that there were no steak to be had. It was a moment of let's eat, but disappointed generally.

Great pub at beckon shopping centre. The white rose fifth grade staff. Great service, great ambient Great. All in all great

Awful food bland badly presented very disappointing no extra out me off going again which is a shame

Exactly what you would expect from a Wetherspoons, cheap, clean, efficient.

Busy, most expensive (Wetherspoons) in Leeds. Coffee still good value

Food was absolutely shocking, the service was disgusting and there's cameras in the toilets. Worst Spoons we've ever been to. Chicken burger got sent back to the kitchen twice and it still wasn't cooked properly..

A lively pub, nice food great service and a very continental atmosphere in the sun.

Breakfast - stopped in for a breakfast. Friendly staff and clean premises. Is a small place, can imagine may be busy later on in the day. Food as to be expected for a Wetherspoon, no complaints though. Happily recommend.

Went on a sunday . Good service . Lovely breakfast and latte . Ideal for when shopping centre opens.

Decent food and service. Tables crammed together, with chairs almost touching the next tables chairs. Very claustrophobic. 2x eggs Benedict and 2x refillable coffees just over £18, so not cheap either.

Been a long while since I’ve been to a Wetherspoon; it wasn’t too bad of a meal. We had to clear a table ourselves as many of the tables were full or had trays/food/drinks on the table. QR code ordering - the website isn’t the best to navigate, we often referred to the menu on the table and used the search function to find the food. The drinks came promptly, and the food came not too long after. The shawarma wrap I had was a little lacking - the chicken was a little TOO shredded and the wrap was just a tortilla wrap. No pita or naan here! Chips were good and the halloumi-style fries were adequate (but not for £6.70!) and they begged the question of why they was called “halloumi-style”. Overall quite a mid experience.

Great atmosphere and loads of options for every age group. Rates are very competitive

The food was lovely, better than other Werthers I have been to.

It's a witherspoon what more is there to say

First visit to a Spoons. Ordered fish & chips with a soft drink (£13), did this via the app while I waited at my little table outside. I didn't fancy eating indoors despite the gloomy weather outside - all the tables seemed to be pushed too close together and I didn't really want to be eating food whilst listening to a Karen telling her hubby off. Service was pretty quick, my drink was brought straight away. The meal was fine, maybe a bit stingy with the chips, especially as I passed on the veg. Overall, I would happily eat here again..although I'm tempted to try a closer one (Batley), I think the menu may be cheaper. I've uploaded some menu shots of The Scribbling Mill with my review just incase anyone wants recent pricing. Edit: Regarding The Union Rooms at Batley, The same meal cost me £10.

We called in for a couple of drinks first round was perfect,our next round of drinks two Carling the head was not anywhere near to the top,has the head was going down it wasn't even near a full pint,my wife went up to the bar and asked if the girl serving could top our drinks up,in a abrupt manner the girl behind the bar said that's the best you're going to get it and handed them back,this will be the last time they get out custom...

Very nice pub I thought it was a bit cramped with tables. Food was over cooked slightly only just warm as it was waiting to be served. The staff were very pleasant but needed more staff.

When food arrived it was all cold, When I complained I got no response or apology. Would not go back.

I love Wetherspoons pubs, but this place is absolutely shocking. The staff are rude and miserable, food is rushed, and there isn't enough space to swing a cat. The atmosphere is ok, but its also an expensive spoons compared to other larger establishments in the area.

Great choice of ales very good service 👍 staff very friendly and helpful

This place is small for a JD but can get quite busy, ordering was easy, and there was a meal deal on. I don't normally order from JD with being in the top 10 percent of Google food reviews, but ordering was easy, when my food came out it was very quick but the food was cold, the curry was frozen in the middle, I complained and they did me a fresh one, the service staff were quite nice about this, but the food is not that great, most is microwaved, if you want something without the microwave go for something fried like a burger or something similar. Or just simply don't buy food from here. The pictures are from the first one that was still frozen.

Nice relaxing atmosphere. Food good for what we paid. Including a drink not bad! Lovely staff would go again.

Always busy but a good atmosphere and mixed crowd. Usually shoppers taking a rest

My 800 th. Spoons. Busy place.

Great place to meet friends and catch up even tho the service was a bit slow. Free coffee refills and great atmosphete

Food is great and staff are so friendly x

Please stop the couple working the bar and kitchen to stop canoodling. Otherwise, nice spoons.

Much of the breakfast was cold, paticularly the "toast", bacon and eggs. Note "toast" = bread had been waved in front of a toaster.

Hmmmm. Ok for a pint when she's shopping

Very busy day. Food,drink and service did not suffer. Was nice, clean and staff were friendly

Always fast service, the quickest of any spoons ive been to. There is no compromise on quality and the food is always hot. Staff are friendly and check up on you. Seating can feel a little crammed as it isnt the biggest room but it hasnt caused any issues

Food was great and service okay. However it has poor disabled access, especially as they are an accessible restaurant. From my experience one bar style table near door entrance needs removing as is preventing people like myself and those with prams inadequate access. I ended up bashing a couple of chairs to get past to other seating, with no assistance from any staff. Otherwise ok.

Typical weatherspoons, good to call in for a no frills meal

Friendly staff. Good quality food.

The Scribbling Mill was very beautiful and they have nice cider on we will call again

Prices have increased in recent times which unfortunately does not represent the food received. Lager prices are still cheap and a wide range to choose from. Food unfortunately is not worth it anymore considering the competition that is out there. Greene King etc...still, great staff, great atmosphere and probably the best locations, my favourite being "The old unicorn" in Bramley.

Typical spoons ,,, not very good food , not cheap now either!

Quick service, used the QR code on the table. Waitress IDed my daughter which is good as she is only 18. Food hot and delicious. It was very busy but we found a table, only down side is that the prices have gone up quite a bit since we last went, but it still wouldn't put us off going again.

don't use the app to order items out of stock advertising steak night this pubs don't do steaks spent £50 on curries then the waitress told us you have to order from the bar to get full menu got an apology but no food voucher

We didn't eat here but a very nice pub with great service.

Spicy chicken and chips and two classes of Leffe beer I was in heaven.

It's a spoons! Great value good location by the quayside.

It's a Wetherspoons. You know exactly what you're getting at a good price

It's a wetherspoons, nothing more to say really

The food was very bland the chef was very rude when I returned the food and complained that it had no taste and was very greasy, he even tried to not take the food back and say it was me who was the problem so I had to get the manager involved which made the situation more uncomfortable so we had to leave with my family and go somewhere else, probably the worst experience iv ever had in a restaurant pub.

Didn't eat so I can't rate the food but it looked good and the coffee is always good
