The Whitehall Restaurant in Uttlesford

A great Sunday roast Best we’ve had in a long time. Our kids enjoyed their roasts too

THE BEST RESTAURANT IN LEEDS Cocktails in the bar - classic recipes and premium products Food - The Sunday roast could be the best in Leeds and we have tried many. Make sure you get the spinach side dish. Wine - Primitivo. Great value for money In comparison to quality. Service - Beth, Robyn, Adam, Lina so so friendly and genuinely make you feel like they enjoy looking after you. Hats off Whitehall 💫

This was our first visit and we were extremely impressed. The quality of the cooking was superb. The chef clearly understands flavours and delivers. The crab arancini kiev is so inventive and could have been a disaster but you can taste all the elements including the delicious truffle and mushroom sauce. The turbot special was excellent and then their version of a Jaffa cake is definitely to be tried. The wine list is strong and the Albariño so good we had to have two. It's busy (and you can see why) and loud which can make conversation difficult when it's full but you're not on top of each other. Best of all though are the staff - all enthusiastic and friendly and fun and knowledgeable about the food and wine. Portions were generous and service quick - and it takes some organisation to get food of this quality out to so many people so quickly. Apparently their Sunday lunches are legendary. Can't wait to try one.

Wonderful evening. Probably one of the best meals in years. I am a real foodie and difficult to please. Beef carpaccio was delicious. Followed by sirloin on the specials. Perfection. The waiting staff were an absolute credit! First time here and will definitely be back!

Hello, a lovely atmosphere Saturday afternoon. Great food service was good. Definitely worth avisit. Great Gluten Free menu

Went there and had their Sunday roast. Exceptional.

Really nice setting and atmosphere. The staff are great and always make sure you have what you need. A few minutes walk from the train station so very convenient. Food is top notch, nicely cooked. Really well seasoned. Some great options. Pricey but worth the money.

Great food. Polite and trained staff . Why 4 stars? Noise and long waiting for service. The large glass windows are nice , but they reflect the noise. They need acoustic panels.

Amazing experience and great food

Good hot food and courteous staff.

Spent the birthday here as a friend recommended this restaurant as his favourite restaurant in Leeds. The food and service were consistently good. Scallop was well cooked. Tuna tartate and seafood pasta were delicious too. Not disappointing at all! Recommended

Jakub was an absolute treat. He served extremely well on a very busy day and was lovely and approachable. Definitely would recommend as well when you are being served by him.

OUTSTANDING place and service! We came yesterday for my friends 70th birthday - and we were quite a handful in a good way and I MUST say - the staff were AMAZING! They truly made the day special going the extra mile and I wish I had the name of the lady front of house - long red hair - please extend our massive thanks to her as she really was 10/10 incredible - it’s service like that which makes you want to come back! Food was gorgeous too - we will be back

Nice interior. Quite good burger.

This is one of the best places to dine in Leeds. Fantastic customer service and the food is beautiful. Very friendly staff who go above and beyond.

I can honestly say I had the best burger ever! Companions both had fish and chips, their comments were the same. Lovely restaurant, definitely recommend going.

Had the early dinner set the food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and good portion. Great atmosphere and service. I can’t wait to come back next time soon!!

Thus is the best Sunday roast we've ever had

Brilliant food and excellent service. A little noisy at peak times.

Fantastic carvery menu on Sunday.

Noisy with business lunch customers. Lovely and attentive staff. Menu a little lacking in substance with extra costs for quite a few meals on the lunch menu. Nice wines and beers. Probably more atmospheric in the evening.

Lovely restaurant, great staff and generous portions, just rather expensive.

Great food, great staff, great service. Will definitely be back

Loved the food. I'm off back this week

Unexpectedly really nice pasta!

We were so impressed not only with the menu and food, but also with the staff. Truly outstanding service!

Great menu, attentive staff and delicious food. Really enjoyed lunch.

Best Sunday roast in Leeds and great service.

Amazing Sunday Roasts, friendly and speedy service and a creative cocktail list! My 13 year old said the chips were 'heavenly'! We really enjoyed our visit here and will come back again thanks

I ordered beef burger and pint of Guinness, burger was without any taste, definitely was lack of herbs and my lovely Guinness... Unfortunately I love this beer and I never had a worse beer, taste was like Guinness mixed with water, light passed through the mug, which is impossible in circumstances where it would be original beer so out beer is fake or barman was he was unimaginably stupid and jeopardized the reputation of such a good restaurant by adding water to the beer. I do not recommend.

The Whitehall is my favourite place to eat in Leeds, always 10/10, food, service AND atmosphere which is a rarity. The Sunday lunch we had today amazing, hats off to the Whitehall team 💃🏼💃🏼

First time here and very impressed. The food quality was fantastic and super fresh. I had the Padron peppers to start followed by the best chicken caesar salad I’ve had in a long time. My mum had french onion soup followed by the burger (good quality beef with hand-cut fries, not the frozen rubbish you’d find in your local chain pub. Really makes the difference!) then Crème brule with a homemade shortbread. We had late lunch menu 12pm-5pm 2 courses £19.95 & 3 courses £25.95 which was great value with a range of options. The atmosphere was a little loud for my liking (I have autism and sat right in the centre of the restaurant close to a table of loud men who had clearly been to the football match so was noisy for me. Not the restaurants fault though & expected on a Saturday so will request a table out the way next time). The service blew me away though. The most attentive and helpful staff who took our coats and bags on arrival and really on the ball making sure each table was satisfied and had everything they needed. Your hard work does not go unnoticed and we will be back very soon!

I already had high hopes, but they were able to surprise me with a fantastic experience. The food was incredible, everything was super fresh and hot, the flavours were amazing as well! The staff was incredibly attentive, very polite, truly superb treatment. We chose Whitehall for our anniversary dinner and I couldn’t think of a better choice, they were even kind enough to surprise us with a very sweet decoration on our dessert. I recommend it with my eyes closed.

An enjoyable birthday lunch. Extremely attentive staff. Excellent 3 course lunch from the set menu. Would highly recommend this city centre restaurant.

Had an absolutely beautiful meal. The staff were so attentive from start to finish. The food was amazing, had the 3 course early evening menu, certainly well worth the money. Every course was beautifully presented and was delicious. Definitely recommend this place and will certainly be going again.

Had a very nice dinner! The £36 3 course with half bottle was a boom We ordered pork and pate with mango cheese cake it was nice The sea food pasta was delicious too! The kid pizza was excellent

Fantastic food and service from Mikey who looked after us with such warmth and expertise.

The service really let this place down. Asked for a jug of water with no ice, got one glass. Asked for a jug again, it never came. Asked a 3rd time which finally came with a thud. But the worse was when our food came and without warning the waiter pretty much barked “what did you order” at me. I was so surprised I asked him to repeat himself and he barked the same thing. He then plonked the onion soup in front of my sister without asking. As it wasn’t hers she passed it on then the waiter plonked another onion soup in front of her. A fork was dropped in front of water waitress who never offered to pick it up or replace it so we had to retrieve one from an empty table. The manageress was nice but the wait staff really spoiled the experience. Steak was cold, Halibut was over cooked but everyone else enjoyed their food.

Seated at table 9 which is a great position, awesome food and service only beaten by great company!

Really thankful we messaged ahead and they saved us some beef wellington! Amazing

Great place, the staff are amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. Will definitely go back

Decided to go here having considered it previously. Booked easily online. Had a lovely experience, fantastic food and great service by attentive, smartly dressed, friendly staff. Vegan menu which I hadn't known so, as a vegetarian it was great having additional options which they good also do as vegetarian (ie include cheese!) I had beetroot followed by risotto milanese and then creme brulé. My partner had carpaccio, venison and then the petit fours. All dishes were really good. If we had any negativesto mention it would be there acoustics of the building mean it can be a bit difficult to have a conversation or indeed hear the staff clearly. Also the service charge is included which can be a bone of contention. However, there was definitely no reason it wasn't deserved. Will certainly visit again.

Amazing as always. Hats off to all the staff. Rare to find a place with amazing food as well as amazing staff. Can’t emphasise enough how brilliant the service and staff are here! Thank you again! Can’t wait for my next visit! 11/10

Banging brunch attentive with the alcohol staff look like celebrities we love Adam and LUKE T BANGS RAISES ALL ROUND xoxo PSA

Very good food - well presented and delicious- with a wide menu choice including lots of vegan and vegetarian options.

Excellent experience with wonderful service - portion sizes small given prices but very nice Superb service on a quiet evening - superb wine list

Lovely place food is amazing and the whole ambience of the place is great. Staff were really friendly and attentive would highly recommend

Incredible food and lovely staff, one of the best places for food value compared to other high end restaurants in Leeds - quality for the price is AMAZING. Robyn always makes us feel welcome and treats us like family - thank you!

Lovely food, perfectly cooked piece of tuna. A little too noisy for me though. Overall good value 👌

Sunday lunch was 10/10. Can’t recommend enough.

Lovely meal for my birthday, both ordered from the gluten free menu and there was so much choice! Scallops and steak were cooked perfectly, we'll definitely be back!

Absolutely stunning, the waiter was on point constantly and the gluten free menu was amazing

Nearly missed it because building work going on around it but glad we didn't. Service was first class as was the food we will definitely return when we are next I leeds well fine to all

Amazing restaurant. Service, attentive staff and food was superb. A big massive thank you to the "boss" for looking after us when our taxi didn't arrive to pick us up. A true Gent. Definitely recommend. It was excellent. Thank you again.

Excellent Sunday Lunch today, staff were so friendly and attentive, everything on the plate was cooked perfectly. Great atmosphere. Beef was probably the best I’ve tried on a Sunday Lunch. Great toddler/kids options too, my son had the beef burger and was very happy. Wine prices were reasonable considering how nice they were. Overall we really enjoyed and would definitely be back with more of the family or some friends. Thank you!

Had a fabulous bottomless brunch at Whitehall. Great choice of food (rabbit tagliatelle was excellent). Really attentive staff Will definitely come back.

Lovely staff . Food was excellent and reasonably priced.

I really loved this place. Food was amazing . I could easily work my way through the menu. Meat eaters paradise but don't overlook the fish and seafood. Service was top drawer.

Went for Sunday lunch. Had the roast beef and it was absolutely delicious! Best roast I've had in a long time. The beef was cooked to perfection. Around £20 for the roast and it was worth every penny. Service was also great. We got seated straight away and didn't have to wait around too long for our order to be taken or for our food to arrive. I will definitely be returning and trying out the rest of the menu

Had a birthday dinner and it was amazing! Staff so pleasant! Food was tasty! Lovely for the price

Great atmosphere, food and staff.

Absolutely top class food at this restaurant. Good service and good value for money.

The best roast in Leeds city centre, I’ve been to many roasts in restaurants around Leeds and Whitehall is definitely the best of them all. With good vegetarian choices and varied options if you are not up for a roast. Service and atmosphere is also TOP.

Amazing experience dining here. Staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Food was excellent, and the wine recommendation was on point. I look forward to coming back when in Leeds again.

Went today for my grandsons 21st. Food amazing i had the beetroot starter and fish and chips..staff were excellent definitely deserved the service charge. And the bloody Mary is to die for i went for 9 on the scale of spice

Best roast in leeds as I was reliably informed and it lived up to the title.

The venue is large and airy but not at all noisy as some large restaurants can be. We chose the lunch time set menu which was varied and offered additional extras. Relaxed dining with very attentive and lovely staff. You can really sense that they pride themselves on customer service and the quality of the food. Food - was beautiful! Scallops. Fillet beef.desert - all perfect. Would highly recommend this lovely restaurant. We parked in the multi storey off Wellington Street, just 5 minutes walk.

Came here for my best friends graduation on a table of 12 so had to preorder, they put out each of our orders on place names so there was no confusion with food !! Service was fantastic, food was delicious and well priced from the early evening menu. They even presented my friend with a little dessert plate and brought out a graduation cake we had brought along which was a great touch. Impressed. Only need more vegan options !!

Absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Beautiful food, amazing service and a truly wonderful atmosphere. Thank you for making my daughters graduation so special.

Business lunch with a customer today, food was great as was the service, very impressed, thanks very much.

Really nice Sunday lunch, one of the best in leeds. If I could give any feedback it would be that there was too much pepper on the beef it’s all you could taste really and it was quite rare, I like it pink but it was really pink, other than that can’t fault it everything was lovely

I'm sure it was due to all the scaffolding that it was almost empty because the food and service was great

I went on Saturday with my sisters and a close friend, we couldn't fault anything - great value, lovely food and impeccable service. We would certainly go again 😊

Waited nearly an hour for main course which when it arrived was nice. No updates provided by staff. Espresso was v v nice

Whitehalls is our family favourite. We have shared special events and times here, it is our go to. Whitehalls has never disappointed us and always left us astounded. We have introduced many of our close friends to this establishment as we thoroughly enjoy every meal here since our first. The service here is exceptional we are extremely well looked after, the staff are incredibly knowledgeable and can answer any queries. Hannah goes above and beyond along with George who both provide fantastic service. Thankyou for continuously wowing us

Thank you Fatjon and the team for a great table for the family at Easter and for mums birthday on Sunday. As always we were made to feel very special, especially mum with her birthday plate. The food and wine were delicious and the service was super friendly and the attention to detail made all the difference. Can't wait to come back soon. The Waite family

A superb lunch with great staff .

One of the best restaurants in Leeds. Search it out , you won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic Sunday lunch and great service as always 🥰

18 of us dined here on Monday for my daughter’s 30 th Birthday celebration , the food and service were amazing.The choice of menu was lovely, and the food was delicious especially the chicken Marengo. and sticky toffee pudding. and we pre booked the order which ran efficiently and ,the service and waiters were spot on couldn’t do enough for us. We will definitely be back.Such a lovely restaurant with classy surroundings and great ambiance not to be missed. Would highly recommend.

Great Sunday dinner very friendly staff just a great place

Nice ambience with excellent food

Visited for Sunday lunch for a friends birthday. Extensive menu options and portions are generous. Food very tasty and plenty of cocktail options. Service was a tad on the slower side and some of our order was missing (and rectified once brought to the attention of our server). Good overall, measured against the price of our bill and the level of service. Would visit again.

Great vibe, service and food. Very patient with us when sorting out payment methods.

Nice food, nice place, service good until some boss guy decided to ignore request for coats twice after saying he was getting it, then got his own and sat down at a table drinking with his friends..., stupid let down really. Other staff fab

Love the pasta dish! Really lovely restaurant and staff too

We were staying in the Novotel hotel across the road and were looking for a handy restaurant . We certainly hit lucky in our choice ! Top notch food and service. Its not the cheapest . However on this occasion it was so worth it. Would highly recommend 👌

Had an excellent roast meal with the family. Between us, we had lamb, belly pork, beef, and chicken. Pork was excellent with great crackling, beef nicely medium rare and chicken moist. Lamb was a bit chewy. Good wine selection. Overall, it is the top end of price range, but probably worth it for the quality.

Had a lovely meal here whilst staying in Leeds with my partner, Robin managed to fit us in quite last minute and I mentioned that it was for my girlfriend friends birthday and with that she got many well wishes that evening. The food was excellent and portions are great, I had the fillet steak followed by the after eight dessert 🤩.Thank you to the Whitehall and team!

Best Sunday dinner ever, and the staff were so attentive and lovely. Can't recommend more

Fantastic Sunday lunch for a special birthday

We have used Whitehall for several work night meals now, catering anything from 15-40 people. Throughout the whole booking process Vnay, Robyn and the team were extremely helpful and very easy to communicate with. They went above and beyond from start to finish and the food was fantastic. Would highly recommend!

Amazing food amazing staff amazing service 10/10. Absolutely faultless and we will be returning with the family.

Busy at lunch and dinner Great spot the staff are well trained and the food is top end

Nicely presented, quality food. Great price for a set menu

Food and service excellent, a little noisy though.

Came for dinner with work colleagues. Service was superb from all the staff and food was soooo delicious! We shared a mix of starters which were all fab and my main of monkfish risotto was just divine - not eaten anything this tasty at a restaurant in a long time! Highly recommend:)

Just had an absolutely banging Sunday roast at this place! Great value for money and service was fantastic. They were so sweet with my little boy. Wine list was great and again good value. You must go!!
