The White Swan in Leeds

Celebrated my dad's 80th birthday here as its his favourite place. He's been poorly for a while, the owner and all the staff greeted him like a friend, it was so lovely. There was 16 of us and a long table set up in the snug was perfect. The food was brought out piping hot all at the same time and it was absolutely delicious. All 16 of us said how fantastic it was and we'll go back again. Thanks to Helen and your lovely team x

Not enough room to sit comfortably. Would ne improved with one table less

We went to the White Swan for mothers 89th birthday. We've been previously and not been disappointed. Once again the food, service and staff were very good. My fish pie was delicious I particularly liked the idea of putting chunks of potato in the pie rather than the usual mashed potato on the top. The accompanying vegetables where lovely. My mother had the pie with mashed potatoes and vegetables. It is served with a jug of gravy which for her was perfect as she doesn't particularly like gravy. My brother had the gammon which comes with 2 eggs and pineapple as well as chips and peas. A huge plateful and well worth the money. My mother and I had dessert. Ice cream for mother whilst I opted for the homemade blackberry and apple crumble. Absolutely delicious. All this and a round of drinks for £62. Can't go wrong, all fresh cooked and served with a smile. We will definitely be back. Perhaps for Sunday lunch when you can get a starter and main course for £19.95.

Booked in for Sunday dinner with the family. It was really busy, but got seated pretty quickly and ordered our food. The food was amazing, there were 2 Roast Chicken 4 Pork and one Beetroot Wellington served in our party and all were top notch! Also I would like to add the roast potatoes were the best I have ever had. Will definitely be booking again soon.

As a funeral director not from Yeadon and arranging a wake following a loved ones funeral. I really appreciated the help from Helen and her team in making the day run so smoothly. They quickly offered to make some more food, as more people had arrived than we'd expected and the chef even helped me sort the TV so that I could play a slideshow, which was much appreciated by everyone attending. Thank you so much for all of your help.

First time out in 7 weeks after an operation and I'm really glad I went to The White Swan! We had two roast beef Sunday lunches which were beautiful and the portions very generous. We were glad that we didn't order two sides of cauliflower cheese as it was massive! Overall, so good and such good value for money for the quality of the food The staff were all absolutely lovely as always. What's not to love?

Very polite staff and we were seated at our reserved table of 9 in quick time. The menu was full of options & came all at the same time. Which isn't easy for 9 people. Our food was excellent and in my opinion good value for money. We will be calling again.

Excellent food with good choice of drinks. Dog friendly. Large room at back for parties. Rooms available. Staff friendly, clean and well furnished. Toilets good. Would definitely recommend

Just had an ad hoc Sunday dinner this evening at The White Swan. We have been here before for roast dinners and pie before, but today was fantastic. Plate arrived piled high, rolls of perfectly cooked and chunky sliced beef, roast carrot and parsnip, greens, red cabbage, proper crispy and fondanty homemade roast potatoes, all topped with a large single yorkshire pudding and gravy. My son had the roast pork with trimmings and loved that too. Value for money, this place is the best local to us for a roast dinner and a drink at roughly £20 each. The other nice thing is, most places have closed for food service at 5pm for Sunday roast, White Swan was still open for food until 7pm, which sealed it for us. Service was also superb, thanks team 😊 We will be back again soon.

Excellent Sunday lunches we had the beef and chicken , great portions and totally delicious excellent value for money , staff very attentive

Excellent, well kept pub, can't fault it

INCREDIBLE value for the lunch menu,really good pub grub at a fantastic price Matthew was very helpful.

Great Sunday Lunch at The White Swan! We had a fantastic Sunday lunch at The White Swan—delicious food, generous portions, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the pub was really child-friendly, with great options for kids and plenty of space. A perfect spot for a relaxed family meal—we’ll definitely be back!

Lovely room. Close to the airport. Very friendly, helpful staff. Great value Valentines meal, had 3 course vegan option. Definitely recommend.

Lovely staff, surprising attention to detail and all round professional service

Perfect for the airport, 2mins drive away. Great selection of beers and good food. The rooms are a simple modern design, and very clean and cozy.

Excellent food & wine & a good selection of ales..can't fault it

We went for Sunday Lunch 3 adults 2 children. They staff are amazing. So helpful. The food is so fresh & hot. 2 adults had chicken with stuffing wrapped in bacon. 2 large pieces each. Cane with Roast carrot roast parsnip 4 large roast potatoes and a mix of cabbage carrot green beans & courgettes. A very large Yorkshire Pudding. Lots of gravy. We ordered a side of Cauliflower cheese. There was so much we took over half of this home. 1 adult got the same but roast beef. He said it was the best he had had in years. The kids had chicken nuggets chips and beans but both requested a Yorkshire Pudding and pigs in blankets. Again we ended up taking some home. They kids had chocolate cake & ice cream for deserts. With drinks about £90. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you. Lesley

Great pub ,really friendly service,allowed us to use the function room ,when a lot of us turned up on a Wednesday afternoon,we all got served quickly and well looked after

We had food and drinks in the pub. Lovely pub had a good selection of beers. Food was good. If we're in the area again would definitely pop back.

Great place good staff good food and drink Helen and her staff are fantastic great place for a 70th birthday party

The service we receive from all of the staff is excellent every time we come. We like to book a table and are always accommodated.

Lovely meal for the whole family. Great service. Patrick and Lucas were attentive and gave great great customer service.

Christmas Dinner, plenty of food,service good, had a quiz on very good, enjoyable evening

We had a lovely Xmas 3 course meal for a family of 16 of us The food was delicious and the service excellent Very cosy and welcoming

A very warm welcome from Helen and all staff. Food and service excellent. Enjoyable Sunday lunch, excellent value. We will return. Thankyou

Booked a table for a meal for four people. Been here a few times in the past with about twelve family members and always enjoyed it. This time very disappointed with service, didn’t stay for food, went somewhere else.

Just called in for a quick pint but we ended up having dinner. Scrumptious

One of the best Sunday dinners we have had. We all had different meats, beef (super thick), pork (with a lovely apple stuffing), chicken ( wrapped in bacon with a yummy stuffing inside). Very dog friendly and lots of space. The staff were very welcoming and it had a lovely Christmas atmosphere.

Lovely pint whilst overnight at the premier Inn

Great wholesome food! Really good value too! Really friendly staff. We will be coming back again for sure…………………………..

Perfect for a night before going to the airport. The food was outstanding and the room was large and very clean. Will definitely use again.

Brilliant roast dinner. Amazing value for money and huge portions. Brilliant with kids. Gave colouring to keep entertained. Will come back for sure.

As a large group of 15 work colleagues we had a faultless evening. Food was absolutely delicious. Service was spot on...special thanks to Fin who made sure everyone got the meal they had pre-ordered! Few of us stayed for the quiz...such a shame it was so quiet and we ended up being the only team! It's such a good quiz and we'll definitely be back to do it again! Thank you all!

Lovely pub, with great outdoor areas. Personally not tried the food yet, but my daughter says its really good.

Exceptional location if using LBA airport, plenty of parking and reasonable pricing. Our room was large and spacious with a decent TV. Check in was straight forward however it wasn’t exactly welcoming to have to walk into a packed out restaurant in our travel scruffs and we had to wait quite a while before we were seen to. Wasn’t exactly welcoming to have to walk into a packed out restaurant in our travel scruffs and we had to wait quite a while before we were seen to. Our ‘family room’ wasn’t family friendly at all. All the tea and coffee stuff left on a really low shelving unit so our toddler was straight at it, we had to put it up on the window ledge which then meant we couldn’t use it. The shower was really weak, washing my hair was a nightmare. The rooms looked clean on first impression however my little one dropped him dummy and when I picked it up it was covered in hair and dust, when I bent down to pick it up the area around the bedside table was filthy. The noise levels were insane, we could hear every word the room next to us and above us were saying and doors slamming all night. If you’re using it to use the local airport then it’s a fair stay but I wouldn’t recommend it otherwise.

Having recently read the reviews about the Swan on Trip Advisor I actually chose this for our accomodation which we were more than happy with plus our early morning flight. The evening meal was spot on, myself & my partner throughly enjoyed it. I must say the young lady behind the bar was such a good host, with excellent customer care skills & so friendly. Well run establishment with good staff.

Nice setting with lovely views. Quite expensive though

Had a great meal for my big birthday with family everyone enjoyed their meals service and staff were great

Disappointed that the treacle sponge and custard was actually jam sponge and the waitress/bar staff tried to say it was treacle jam 🧐 but other than that lovely food

Booked the White Swan function room for Mums 30th Wedding Anniversary party. Helen was our contact all the way through and was an absolute delight to deal with. Helen helped gove ideas that would enhance the ideas we already had and also made us feel very welcome. On the day of the party we were able to arrive early and set up which took a lot of pressure off. When we arrived the staff had already added some of there own decorations to the room. They had added sashes onto each individual chair which looked beautiful. The colour of the sashes was not in our colour scheme however still looked really pretty. Helen however (who arrived a bit later) instantly realised and changed every bow to the right colour for us. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a few issues with decorations that we had personally bought due to them not working however all the staff got involved and helped to make everything work! All the barstaff were very kind and helpful and went above and beyond to help us enjoy the evening. A huge thank you to all the team at the White Swan, Yeadon!!

Stayed here prior to a flight from Leeds-Bradford airport. Excellent accommodation, clean tidy and comfortable. Lovely meat. Only downside was the stairs with holiday luggage but staff were really helpful. Would recommend .

Great little find 5 mins from the airport. Rooms spotless. Staff in the bar very friendly and great service and food. Would highly recommend

Friendly staff that were very accommodating. nice room with nice decor and very clean. Bathroom was lovely Thanks for a nice stay

This place ought to come with a health warning Absolutely disgusting food and complacent staff who don't care what Is produced or served Being a person on chemotherapy I take my eating out experience cautiously On arrival we were met with a very empty pub with lots of empty tables Maybe that was the warning shot, We picked simple food What could possibly go wrong A baked potato with Tuna and sweetcorn mayonnaise side salad And a Swan burger with extra bacon Well I was not long to being disappointed My baked potato arrived with very little filling and what was there had all being grilled Hot Tuna and cheese🤮 add to that a salad with no dressing but lots of slimy black mould on it 🤢 The burger was terrible chewie on a very very soggy bun with bacon you could sole your shoe with My poor other half couldn't eat his chips as he put the most disgusting condiment that was said to be vinegar and ought to get the place shut down It was filthy and left a very bad taste on his chips I tried to tell the staff who wasn't intrested to hear my complaints at all What a waste of £46 our time and this place needs a very good old food standard agency visit in my opinion Despite the owners warped version of events Note no mention of us coming in via rear entrance, And husband using the vinegar off the other table as ours had filth in the bottle clearly seen on the video And yes it was disgusting, Not a mention of cold fillings going to be heated up on the menu (or i would certainly NOT! Have ordered that nor have I ever seen a place offer it hot or cold as a choice before , and yes it tasted vile as why it was left and if you can't see the mould on the salad my goodness I suggest you use that rocket science and trot off to get the eyes tested (Just a tip) And re not approaching the staff not only did no one do a check back on the table (review your video of that ) And the fact as we were leaving by the rear entrance i tried to mention it then to the two young fellas larking about in that side But they weren't intrested to hear anything other than what was on each others phones 🙄 If that's how you run your business then people need the full facts And your sarcasm in your reply I'd say goes to the revelant standard of the place as a whole Dire!!!

Came for the quiz night, had alot of fun and lovely food. Nelson very entertaining and far knowledgeable than us!! Great evening

Really happy to find this pub serving food, we had a meal here before staying at another hotel (awful Travelodge) at Leeds airport. We were seated in the bar which had a good atmosphere and there is also restaurant room and it looked nice and bright. There was a private party in the back room which meant the bar and kitchen were both really busy Despite how busy they were the service was great from everyone. Our food took a little while, not a problem, but I could see a pizza on the service area and hoped it wasn’t ours (it was). The food was great, the fish pie really is good! The pizza was dried out and terrible, when I told the server they offered to get a new one straight away so cannot complain about this. I would just say this pub does better other food than pizza :) While there we noticed there are rooms available - this will definitely be an option for us on our next flight from Leeds.

Came for Sunday lunch today and was very disappointed I had my starter and lunch at the same time the main course was cold it was our first time we have called in for drinks a few time and said we will call and have lunch one day total let down

Food was absolutely incredible, very quick service. We ate here before our flight as not far from the airport and we couldn’t get over how nice the food was. Will deffinitely be flying from Leeds again just to have this food before

The white swan was a fantastic choice for our evening meal, the staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. The service they provided is second to none, and genuinely pleasant. The drinks were well placed and a range was available. The staff knew about various wines and how important where they come from is. The menu is well presented but does not do the food the justice it deserves. The food was excellent, cooked expertly and with good pace. The flavours throughout were excellent and appropriate to the region the food was derived. I couldn’t speak more highly of the whole experience, enjoyed it thoroughly throughout, I would rate this experience 5 star all the way. Thank you for leading us into our holiday and thank you for your hospitality and professionalism, it really is appreciated and respected.

Stay here one night with a few friends when we had tickets for a gig at the Kirkstall Abbey. We had lunch and a few beers when we arrived. Food portions were good and overall very good value. Good choice of local beers and lagers. Pub garden overlooks the cricket pitch which was nice. I'd recommend this place over the usual Premier Inn etc, our room was perfect for what we needed.

Nicely prepared room that was clean & well presented. There was TV, Wi-Fi & coffee & tea making facilities. There was a large shower cubicle & towels. After an evening out, we we're able to have a drink in the bar. Great value. There is a cricket ground right next to the pub.

Really enjoyed lunch Good food nice relaxed atmosphere

Great pub with good food and excellent service.

Went for Sunday lunch with some visitors to our locality. It was a really nice meal with polite welcoming staff and a wonderful Sunday roast. There was enough food for 2 people on my plate! I had to leave some because I was so full. Our guests enjoyed the food and one who had the fish pie kept saying it was delicious! I will certainly come for an early Sunday lunch again. It was good value, good service and good food.

We had a great night lovely food andgreat service

The staff are welcoming,friendly and very helpful at all times. They respect people's privacy. The pub has a great atmosphere, and outside is a lovely place to chill. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Staff are lovely but not happy at uniforms ...skirts are far too short on the waitresses you could see their bottoms ...one girl had ladders in front and back of tights ...when she bent over it was not attractive . Sorry just speaking as a head waitress myself

Visited for Sunday lunch was very tasty even my children were happy and great drinks / deserts will be back at some point …. Staff make the place all friendly and very efficient

We booked for dinner this evenng. Staff had had no training and were not keen to make themselves known. We didn’t feel a welcoming greeting and indeed had to ask after ordering drinks and perusing the menu for about 40minutes if it was table or bar service to be informed we’d to order at the bar, which we then did. The food was nice enough but the service was extremely disappointing and rather cold. I don’t think we’d return.

Really busy on arrival ,with father's day and football ,but we managed to get a table to have food which was really tasty and good .

Brilliant local pub offering a wide choice of food from sandwiches to meals. The salmon is full of flavour and well cooked. Great service from very friendly helpful staff. Good food. Varied priced menu. Inside and outside eating and drinking. Well cooked food.Excellent customer service.Hihly recommend. 10/10.

Best Sunday Roast in Yeadon, comes with cauliflower cheese as standard! Reasonably priced, usually quick service and very welcoming staff - one of our favourites to go to with family or just as a couple

One night stay before early morning flight.check in was easy.room was clean and comfortable.Plenty of hot water for washing and showering.Tea and coffee facilities provided.We booked an evening meal and this was very good.The bar had plenty of beer choices.For a bit of variety we wandered 50 yards to Yeadon cricket clubs pavilion/bar.This was also good for a pint.Enough car parking at the pub.Its about 5/10 minutes drive to airport parking or off site parking.Definitely a more pleasant stay than using one of the nearby chain hotels

Very uncomfortable going up to a room with so many stairs. They don't offer breakfast, but it's very English, it has a pub and it's in a very nice place. Very nice people.

We went for evening meal, the steak pie was beautiful, best meat in a pie we've had for a long time, served with choice of chips or mash and a vegetable medley. Couldn't fault it. Well recommended

Held my grandaughters Holy Communion here. It was a fabulous experience from start to finish. The staff were warm and friendly and the food was perfect. Thank you Helen and team fantastic for an amazing service. We will be back ...

This was a quick booking and I wasn't expecting too much, but how wrong I wished I had stayed here earlier. Staff were very helpful and pleasant the food was tasty and hot just what you need. Many thanks to all and I will stay here again next time I'm working at LBA

Thank you to everyone at the White Swan, Yeadon for making a Special Day Special. The meal was lovely and the Surprise at the end really made it for me Thank you to everyone. It is a lovely place with a lovely atmosphere and we also met some lovely people. Thank you again

Lunch for 4 people on Saturday. Lovely food, reasonably priced, good beer on draft. A very enjoyable afternoon

Absolutely gorgeous Sunday lunch today! Huge portions, extra gravy, loads of vegetables and the meat was perfect. The staff were super helpful and lovely. We’ll definitely be recommending and visiting again soon!

Our go to convenient Sunday Lunch spot. Always very tasty and we leave feeling satisfied, stuffed and needing a Sunday afternoon siesta- happy days.

Excellent visit, lovely food, nice atmosphere our local pub is definitely worth a visit. Hayley and Harry were great would recommend

Great little pub, clean and food was great

What a great night at the white swan, we hosted our family reunion there and it couldn’t have been better. The food was amazing especially the hot roast beef and pork sandwiches dripping in gravy. Great team who really looked after us and decorated the room too. All in all a fab night. Thank you to all the staff.

Lovely warm reception, greeted by friendly waiters. Food was amazing very tasty great atmosphere highly recommend mckenzie and Bobby served our table who were very polite

Lovely greeting by the staff, very attractive and great service by a young man who was very polite highly recommended the white swan will definitely come back

We ordered the pork and chicken roast they were both delicious, couldn’t fault a thing, great service too from friendly staff & lovely atmosphere . We’ll definitely be back.

The white swan is always busy for Sunday lunch. We have been previously and not been able to be seated as it's too busy so today we made a reservation! Nice seating space outside. We had Sunday lunch which did not disappoint. Staff friendly and service good

We visited the White Swan in yeadon for Sunday lunch, we booked as it's usually busy. Food was great and staff friendly.

We were up at the business side of the airport and needed lunch, Café was packed, so we went into Yeadon. Signage was good, parking was good… give it a whirl. Only 1215, so wasn’t expecting a packed place, but the two folks on duty were fab and friendly. Just wanted a light, bite, they suggested the wraps and fish finger sandwich…. Sold on the sarnie. I had a pint of local ale, beautifully presented and tasty, pal had Coke as he was flying 🤣 For a light bite, it was a whopper ! Superbly cooked, fish was excellent, fries were crisp, salad was zesty. I would say 10/10, but we were not sure if the tomato ketchup was actually what it said on the bottle 🤣🤣🤣 Let you off 🌹

Booked a Sunday lunch for four. The staff were very attentive, showing us to a lovely spacious seat. We ordered at the bar along with drinks. when the Sunday lunch came, I was very pleased to see the plate nice and full.. But better still, , the Sunday roast was really well cooked. We all thoroughly enjoyed the Roast, and a desert. Prices were reasonable, food great, and the young girls who waited on our table were excellent. Will be making this a regular Sunday Afternoon out.

I would avoid if your staying before going to the airport, there was a wedding on with music playing, walls are very thin you can hear every thing, also the room we was in near the road you can hear the road noise even without the window opened. The beds are very hard which is supposedly "out of there hands" certainly won't be going again. I should also mention a taxi to and from the airport is going to set you back £14 each way before any parking charges from the hotel (we parked on the street) so its probably worth just booking parking at the airport.

This was our 2nd stay after being very impressed the first time. Location is great for a nights stay before heading to the airport. This stay wasn’t as good. The staff were all nice as before, but the atmosphere was off. The vibe wasn’t as good as before. The food wasn’t great. More akin to Weatherspoons than anything. Maybe a new chef, not sure. Very odd to order one thing off the menu for dessert and get something different and when asked why the response was “we don’t have any of them”. Would have expected to be told beforehand so the alternative could be accepted or a different choice made. Not the best business practice when the venue doesn’t know about a patrons possible food allergies! Potentially dangerous! Would we go back, we aren’t planning flying out of Leeds now for at least another 12 months so we might, but can’t possibly give any certainty. Not like we could after our first visit.

We had our Wedding Celebrations here last week and we can't recommend them enough, for this! For everyday pub dining, a nice quiet pint, sports TV or a celebration, Helen and her team are outstanding, awesome and amazing! Nothing is too much trouble and they are really friendly and just lovely! We also stayed over and the rooms are clean, simple but have everything you need. I can't recommend them enough 🩷💕🩷

I had a family gathering for my 30th in the function room, the buffet food was fantastic, can’t believe how much of it there was either! Staff were really attentive coming and checking everything was okay every so often. Really happy with the day and would high recommend if you’re looking for a party/family do venue.

Super helpful staff who greeted us with a friendly smile. We booked for an evening meal and arrived early. They accommodated us with no problem. The menu is varied and the food was well cooked and served hot. Can't fault this place. Enjoyed our evening and will visit again.

I was on my way to the dam with my dog and my shoelace got untied. I wanted to sit on the bench in front of the White Swan. The tarmac is uneven and I tripped. A couple walking past helped me up. The staff at the White Swan came out and took me inside. They put some plasters on my knee. They made an incident report. Many thanks to anybody involved.

Pre booked a family dinner for 15. The snug was reserved for us. Food was hot and tasty. Service by Leigha and other staff was good.

Had a lovely birthday celebration with family and friends. We had ordered a variety of food ranging from Sunday lunches, pizza, burgers and scampi. All were cooked and served beautifully. Helen and all the staff were brilliant and so helpful. Will definitely be back

Our new favourite place to eat, excellent food, really pleasant efficient staff which we really appreciate. Added bonus my husband loves their sullivans ale, a more enjoyable pint than another similar and probably more popular dark ale. We visited yesterday for dinner, food was plentiful...

We visited here this weekend with some friends. It is nice pub food and very reasonably priced - we will definitely be coming back!

Family get together to celebrate a birthday and retirement. Pre ordered our Sunday lunch and the service was very good. The meal was presented very nicely, generous portions and delicious. Definitely recommend the Sunday roasts!
