The Turk's Head in Leeds

Outstanding old pub in the heart of Leeds, (which serves a great choice of real ales...I was able to have Theakstones Old Peculiar and Timothy Taylors Landlord - my two favourite ales!

Lovely little bar, great to chat in

Staff are so friendly. Great range of Ales and atmosphere.

I love the quirky alleyway at the Turks Head, having been previously only for drinks I decided to venture for Sunday lunch. It was £16.95 for roast pork, you get a decent portion (ask for apple sauce). Only downsize was the roasties were a bit soggy having been stuck underneath the huge (but tasty) Yorkshire pud. Will definitely be back to sample more tasty food though.

Great atmosphere in the heart of Leeds

It’s a great bar and stunning food! Lots of options and plenty gluten free. But please mark the allergy’s on the menu! The faff for the staff and us to find out what we can and cannot eat in a very busy bar is crazy. Makes the customer feel like they are a pain. Sort this and it’s 5star all the way.

The Sunday roast in England is a regular event of ours. In Yorkshire we discovered these giant Yorkshire puddings and their habit of pouring all the gravy onto the plate. Potatoes and vegetables (cabbage and carrots) cooked to perfection, the roast beef was well cooked but tender. On the side we shared a cauliflower pie with cheese and bechamel. All accompanied with a stout beer. We enjoyed everything. The Turk's Head is the "young" version of Whitelock's, the oldest pub in Leeds. They share the kitchen. The advice is to book on their website because, especially for Sunday lunch, they are both always full

Lovely food only criticism is you have to wait a long time for it to arrive. But it's worth it in the end

Cool little pub hidden away down one of Leeds alleyways! Cool theme to the pub, and a good selection of beers!

Nice atmosphere for a meditative cocktail. Will be back soon.

Nice food and little restaurant area. Only disappointing thing about the meal was they asked if we would like to see the dessert menu. Gave us it and never came back to take a dessert order or to give us our bill. We had to go up to the bar to pay for the final bill. I wanted another drink and a dessert. 3 staff stood around talking at the bar so not busy.

Great stuff, better before it was refurbished, more genuine.

Booked in for a (large) family Sunday Lunch the day after our wedding and from start to finish the service was exceptional. Staff were friendly and helpful with any questions we had prior to attending and on the day the staff were fantastically friendly and accommodating. The food was fantastic, tasting and value and the Yorkshire Puddings were a sight to be seen. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back.

Fantastic all round. We asked for a nice table if possible with it being our anniversary and we got a great spot in the corner, which was appreciated. The staff were great, friendly and efficient. The food was absolutely excellent. Great experience and a fantastic choice of ales too! Thanks to all the staff, chefs and management.

Hands down the best hidden gem in Leeds! Must visit

A great place for a quieter drink and a chat

Well, best Sunday roast in the city centre that's for sure 🙏🏻💯

So glad I called in on a quiet Monday evening to take this place in - truly amazing. Beers come in all measures you want including two cask options all poured by some fantastic bar staff.

My friend and I have been meeting at The Turks Head for at least 10 years now! We love the atmosphere & warm welcome from the staff!!! However, lately, when we have been enjoying our time together at a table, we have been approached by the lovely bar staff to tell us that our table has been booked for a meal at a later time & we need to vacate it before that certain time. This then puts us on edge as we’re constantly looking for where we can move to!! Yesterday we were told we needed to move before 5pm. We eventually found a table to move to but annoyingly, the people who booked the table we were initially sat on didn’t turn up!!! I think it would be better if The Turks Head took a deposit from people to ensure they turn up!

Great spot with a good selection of local ales and an authentic atmosphere.

It's an old pub with a ton of beer choices.

Enormous tasty Yorkshire pudding, delicious meat and veg.

Food was unbelievably delicious ( Sunday roast ) service was great

We went pre-match and away fans were welcome. Bar staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Good outside seating with heaters as well. Not sure if there are downstairs toilets and those with mobility difficulty should be wary of steep staircase to upstairs toilets. Great selection of beers!

Was a bit cold in there. The cocktail s were excellent

The plough man's lu ch was not like the picture. The ham was really thin(1slice) thin slices of gurkin and hardly any salad 😔

Ne er been here for food but the pub is good. Sitting outside in the summer is amazing too

Small, but a great place for food, good portions and great quality. They also have a really good range of ale.

Busy but good gluten free beer.

The apothecary theme is fun and the cocktails both imaginative and spectacular

An amazing place for Sunday lunch. Amazing gravy, great service, amazing Yorkshire puddings. I can’t wait to come back!

Saturday afternoon and we managed to get a table :) really good drinks, nice food, quick service! These little tucked away pubs are what I love about Leeds!

Lovely place, bartender gave a great recommendation! Always nice to sit outside and the customers are always respectful.

Great place in the centre of town to drink

Great Sunday lunch, and a good selection of drinks as always.

Had no idea these bars existed - glad I do now.. Good kept little secret for a beer 🍺

Love the style of this small cosy bar. They have a selection of ales and other drinks plus do food although I've never eaten there.

Really lovely, fairly intimate venue, for Sunday lunch. Staff were pleasant. Food really nice. Beers on offer were local too

Nice place,beer and food.Service great too,especially the girl with the black hair and arm tattoo..she was lovely and reay helpful.She even helped me find my missus when she wandered off!

Terrible service. Worst part about the whole experience was they wiped down our table before we even left for the next customer. I was so insulted. So we got up and tried to pay at the bar and was just ignored. We then went outside to finish our drinks waiting for the bill. We should have just left. Server tried to excuse the poor hospitality because “they were too busy” but there was only 2 other tables than us. I wonder how many people don’t actually pay and just walk off without anyone realising, as we should have.

Very nice little historic pub/restaurant The Sunday roast was spot on! Nice drinks selection. You must prebook as there’s only 10 tables. Would recommend.

By far the best Sunday roast in Leeds, this place has stolen the crown. Great service, food is impeccable and ambience is superb.

I really like this watering hole hidden away in one of Leeds' historic 'loynes' - the narrow back streets between Briggate and Vicar Lane. The Turks Head shares its loyne with the more venerable Whitelocks and differs from it by being devoted exclusively to craft beers. Both pubs benefit from outdoor bench seating where smoking and vaping are permitted. There is overhead heating which makes the space survivable even during the coldest days of winter. My favourite aspect of the place is the preservation of the late Victorian shop frontages, which give a rare insight into the past. My second favourite is Five Points Pale, which is a truly delicious cask ale.

We came for Sunday Roast having read the good reviews, All can say is obviously some people are easily pleased. Our dinner arrived it looked okay at first glance. Until we tried it the little veg we got was cold the gravy was cold, we called the waitress she took it back to the kitchen ten mins later it arrived back absolutely swimming in warm gravy. Needless to say the food under the gravy was just being warmed by the actual gravy I attempted to cut into a roast potatoe but couldnt cut any of the three I got. Due to them being dehydrated I hate half of Yorkshire pudding and called it a day, My partner managed to eat a bit more than me, He said just shows you can't always go off reviews. When the waitress came to take our plates it was obvious with the amount of food that was left there was something wrong and to be fair to the waitress She asked was there a problem so we explained. She apologised and said I will take 50% of the bill which made us feel a bit better at 15.95 each I didn't feel has hard done by I certainly would not recommend having a roast here it's over priced for the tiny bit of veg you get there is nothing worse than a cold Sunday roast. .

Always feels like next best to the adjacent and mighty Whitelocks . Completely different decor and feel but shares the same yard . Just choice I suppose . Prefer Whitelocks but I think if it wasnt next door and stood alone it would get a 5 *.

Hard to rate properly as it was a completely dead Thursday night (the whole of the city was quiet and we were the only two in there) but the cocktails were really nice and I liked the music and decor. Will try again on a busier night

I came here for wine on Wednesday evening and the bar was not busy, which was great to enjoy the drinks and chat with friends. The atmosphere was cozy. Will come back to try the daiquiri and beer

Whitelocks was heaving so we grabbed an outside table at the adjoining pub. Possibly Casta's first visit to this pub or it has had a total makeover. Pint of Five Points pale was fine. Another card only bar which I detest. Food looked good. Outside had electric bar heaters. Might be reflected in prices.

One barman to handle 12 people. Nobody cares about the quality of service anymore

Fabulous food and very good selection of beers and drinks - very friendly staff

Great selection of Gin, good outdoor seating area. One of my favourites in Leeds.

Our usual place to have a few drinks on a Saturday afternoon. Good vibe and always a good selection of beers. Highly recommended.

The Turks Head is a great pub in a great location. Whenever I’m in Leeds I visit. Good selection of beers and a really nice outdoor area with a lovely atmosphere. Toilets are clean too 👍🏼

Expensive but the bartender was nice. Got drunk with my middle aged dad's co workers which was weird

Great beer, great service, what more do you want from a pub!

Great bar good atmosphere staff friendly will definitely return..

Cozy little pub in the centre of Leeds. Some fantastic staff and great choice of beer. Food is also decent and well priced.

Chilled out relaxing bar. Decent selection of beers. Outside seating in yard. Liked it.

A bit loud (maybe I'm getting old).

Brought my partner after going on how amazing it was and left disappointed. We got 1 slice of meat with a slice of fat/gristle that was folded in half to make it look like 2 slices of meat . when usually there are 3 or 4 thick slices of meat, so we couldn't share half beef half lamb like planned . 1 piece of kale and hardly any veg. Plate looked kind of bare. Felt quite embarrassed about how I'd gone on about how good it is.

Great selection of beers, food was good but not great

Came for 50th Birthday meal, all the way from Scunthorpe. Lovely meal, lovely friendly staff... couldn't do enough for us! Thanks guys & girls. as the show says.... YOU GOTTA EAT HERE!

Fabulous bar, excellent beers and cocktails and the food looked great too. Just a lovely, chilled place for a drink where you feel far from the busy city.

Nice inside, decent selection, well kept beer and if you're fancying a bit more selection you can go into Whitelocks and mix it up.

My first time visiting The Turk's Head and what an establishment this is 1 of the 2 oldest public house's (a.k.a pub's) in leeds city centre. The staff was and are friendly, welcoming and always at hand if you need anything at all. I had an axiety attack for the first time in a long time due to it being a busy saturday whilst leeds united was playing. The food they serve is delicious and caters for vegan's too, i had a gorgeous spiced cauliflower steak with sides to accompany my rosè wine which was a treat and half in itself. The staff made sure i was alright as well as looked after both in house and smoking area. Even the door supervisors also did the same and cant fault any one of them. Truly is a go to place for anybody wether its a quite tipple, meal out with the family (dogs are welcomed) or a meeting point with the girls/lads and even if you have pre-match jitters when your football teams are playing etc. Highly recommend!

Lovely Lunch and a couple of pints of real ale

Good food which me and missus enjoyed after a walk around Leeds shopping,also good selection of ales

Great pub but CARD ONLY payments for some strange reason. Quirky establishment. Good, professional staff.

As always a lovely bar with a fantastic atmosphere. Love it.

Nice beer(s) & wine. A few outside tables under cover. Helpful staff.

Awesome selection of sour beers

My favourite little bar! Definitely a hidden gem in Leeds. Super cool vibe whether you’re sat inside or out. Always have a different selection of drinks to choose from and food is always delicious!

Friendly, organised, clean, safe

Great bar .Great food and an absolute great service during this trying time .😃

Good beers, lovely steak and a pleasant environment

What a lovely pub great decor. Good choice of drinks.

Great food here, will defo visit again. Lovely to sit out in fresh air under little heaters. Well organised and good one way system for all you Covid safe fans. The best curry I have had besides my own.

Probably my favourite pub in Leeds. Lovely staff, great choice of drinks and a really cosy, relaxed atmosphere. A must visit

Tucked away bar in Leeds with great beer.

Great beer in chic setting with attentive, professional staff. A must see

Very tasty craft beers. The food is good but unexceptional: the fish in the fish and chips solid, the breading could have been crispier.

Really cosy and the staff are friendly with a nice selecation of ales to choose from!

Lovely quaint little pub down a back street. Really cool décor inside and a great beer selection. Lovely food, steak was particularly nice.

Always the right level of busy. Great beers and food

Helpful staff, relaxed ambience and delicious beverages! Next door to Whitelocks, which I'm told is the oldest pub in Leeds.

Needed mi glasses as couldn't read the pumps. Sadly didn't have em wi mi. Otherwise decent boiz

Though its in the centre of Leeds it wasnt to busy at all. There's a good beer selection and the prices are acceptable. Its not load inside and there's lots of seats out side under cover

Lovely place, nicely tucked away so not too busy. Great atmosphere and selection of drinks. Lovely outside seating area as well.

Wow... what a selection of super beers. I always pop in when possible...

Excellent Sunday lunch and a pint!

Good beer and great sit out with heating at thistime of year.

Love this little venue. Perfect for a catchup with mates are a date night

Good atmosphere, bar staff are great. The teams of spirits is good and they serve delicious beers! It's quite small image but that's good because it's cosy, lots more space outside where there are heaters. A little hidden treasure. Only downsides are that it is expensive, but it's a good place to sit and chat with friends.

Good little bar, next door to Whitelocks

A great addition to nextdoor Whitelocks, with a good selection of drinks, friendly bar staff, and an intimate, cosy atmosphere

Love the decor and atmosphere. Great selection of real ale and craft beers along with delicious food too.

Gem of a place. Very modern and comfortable off the beaten track

Great cosy atmosphere. Well priced decent beer, not cheap run of the mill stuff. Also had nice fancy pop for non alcohol drinkers

Good food , clean and much more quiet than the neighboring bar that belongs to the same owner.
