The Woodcock in Leeds

Great food and they, or most importantly Carla, dealt with my Coeliac problem admirably.. I had the Beef Shortrib and fries. Spot on. We’ll go back.

Great food ant thank you Carla for what can only be described as sensational attention and service. Good beer, good food, Thank You 😊

Amazing food, amazing service, friendly staff, definitely be coming back. Chicken tikka skewer with skin in fries delicious.

We used the Woodcock on a number of occasions during august and September when we were having a kitchen fitted.We had every dish on the 2 for £11 menu between 5 and 6 pm and found the food to be hot , tasty and well worth the money , the food came out in about ten minutes , we were not disappointed 😊

Yet another excellent meal, this place has it all friendly staff, lovely homely feel and the food is amazing. If we have one complaint it is that it’s not near our home. Definitely worth the travel

This pub is a nice relaxed vibe with some great food on the menu. Polite staff and really reasonable pricing! You won’t get better for the money anywhere else! I took my partner and my daughter for Sunday tea, I had a couple of pints of course and we couldn’t believe how nice it was. Staff are really friendly as well!

First time being here for a good few years. Food was excellant, staff were really friendly and welcoming. Best of all the prices were reasonable and affordable. Would highly recommend and we will almost certainly be going again.

Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality when we came for my mum's 80th birthday tea. Lovely atmosphere, tasty food and wonderful staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed especially Carla ( blonde lady!) Thank you 😊

As a club of bubblecar owners we go out once a month for a drink, a bite to eat, and, of course, a drive in our cars. Since our last venue went toes up we've been looking for a new home to meet - and this might well be the one. Good sized car park, great food, great prices. What's not to like? Already booked for next month.

Love the pub after refurb. We ordered lunch today and found ourselves waiting almost an hour for the food to arrive. When it eventually did come, both ordered gammon were almost cremated and tough to cut. Had to request steak knives. We eat here regularly and the food and service are generally top notch. There was no satisfaction check back during or after the meal. Terrible aftertaste from the crozzled meat. The question is really, do you complain about the food and risk another 45 minute wait? We had to leave as our time was up.

I would like to comolinent the chef this morning for the food .. was so amazing. Was best food ive had in a long time .. the women herself come out to us and she was lovely. Kelly they call her ..thank u kelly

Lovely food. Burger was delicious. Great service. Hunters chicken was cooked superb. We will be back.

Another lovely meal here been twice in that last couple of weeks staff friendly food good only problem yesterday was the place it's self was cold but didn't spoil out lunch will definitely be back

Been to woodcock today first time .won't go back . First gave my partner a pint of cider which had been pulled earlier wasn't impressed . Got chicken wings to Start for 2 people there was 5 wings how does that go for 2 people very poor . I had steak and ribs . Ribs were tasteless steak was OK. Partner had a burger said that was OK. Just not impressed with place all won't be back

The server was friendly behind the bar the san Miguel was good. Sadly from there it went down hill the pub was busy so a wait was to be expected however the food was abysmal. The starter was nachos with no sour cream and the nachos was burnt. The mains we had were fish and chips again the fish was curled like a crisp. The steak was ordered well done and was pink with gristle all in all I could not recommend this place other than for a good pint of lager.

First time arrived today to find the staff are very friendly, love the stylish of the pub, very cozy and a great location. Loved the food, cooked perfectly and I would recommend to anyone.

Thank you to all the guys at the woodcock for helping us celebrate are parents birthdays the food and service was excellent. And to cater for 25 of us together was good team work .Will definitely back soon especially with all the offers on .

Lovely family meal at the Woodcock with our bogoff voucher. Burgers were superb and the staff lovely and friendly. Thank you for my voucher.

Enjoyed an excellent Christmas Day dinner with the family. The service was excellent and the 3 courses were enjoyed in a relaxed environment. Tables were decorated very festive and the pub was packed. If I could have booked for next year I would have done there and then. Thank you to all the staff for their hard work.

Just been for a meal at the WOODCOCK excellent service very good atmosphere and the cadbury sundae is to die for Would recommend this pub and the meals and the price is excellant

Lovely staff, great service , quick and tasty food - will defo be back! Great to see the place booming for Halloween too!

Wanted to order two gammon meals but asked to swap the peas for beans which they’ve happily done before. The server said she would check with the chef and came back with his reply which was ‘Yer if they pay for it’ Apparently the server said he’s not in a good mood. A total thumbs down from me and shame on Mitchel and Butler that this is the type of staff they employ. Disgraceful.

Living a few miles away in Castleford we have experienced pub group food locally and never really been impressed thinking you get what you pay for. The Woodcock was recommended to us by a friend and wow what a transformation, quality food cooked exceptionally, friendly and efficient staff all at a reasonable cost , we will definitely be back , highly recommended, Thank you.

It is a long time since we last visited the Woodcock Leeds Road . Leeds. mainly because of Covid but today we went at around 3 pm. It was very quite when we got there, but a few more came in during our visit. my partner had ordered my meal as a surprise, I had no idea what I was about to eat. My main course was new on the menu, it was salmon and prawns on a skillet. it came with rice, which I barely touched, the grilled salmon sat on grilled onion, red peppers, and green beans, The prawns were in batter. Because it was served on hot skillet, it stayed warm whilst I ate. To finish. I had artic roll with strawberries and cream. My partner had strawberry with honeycomb ice cream sundae, also new to the menu. Every mouthful was wonderful and so tasty. I was also treated to a small bottle of prosecco. All in all, it was a very nice experience. The waitress was very friendly and efficient. We will not leave it too long before we return

Food was amazing, staff were very friendly and happy to go above and beyond to help, the place was very clean also

BrillIant food, fantastic time, kids loved it & can’t wait to go back. Such lovely happy staff who clearly enjoy job

Loved the food and atmosphere of the pub, very friendly staff really enjoyed our visit will be back soon

Called today had a sirloin steak which was cooked lovely but unfortunately the plate was very greasy also flies walking all over our meal one even got burried into our dish of chips as we were trying to eat yuk

Called in as not visited this pub before. Really wish we hadn't bothered. The place could do with a good overall and an atmosphere injection. Staff were and looked as miserable as sin. As for the food, it was utter tasteless and typical boil in...

Like an idiot I forgot to mention my allergy. Unfortunately, since my last visit the menu had changed slightly and the offending food item was sat sneering at me from the plate. Carl (Karl?) was very understanding though and insisted on replacing my food. Even...

First time at this Sizzling pub. The bloke who worked there wasn’t remotely welcoming. Baffling ‘kids eat free’ nonsense on arrival. Put it this way, if either one did eat free it wasn’t reflected in the bill. Anyway, we decided to overlook this as the...

Lunch for 9 family from teenagers to over 70’s. Everyone happy with everything, from curry to fajitas, burgers to sandwiches. Thank you Karl & Kayleigh for looking after us all! Very happy customers 😊

Is this now under new ownership/management? Drastically gone down hill. We have been regulars for many years, always had nothing but good things to say about the woodcock so did our friends however the last two visits have been very poor!! One visit (in December)...

Visited twice before Xmas with family. Both times we had a 3 course meal with drink for under £15. Can’t go wrong. Great food, great service, excellent value.

We visited the Woodcock for our Christmas Day lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, the food was lovely and the service spot on. We call in quite a lot through the year as we love this pub and will definitely be back next year for visits...

The food is ok, service is fine too. Nothing special but average for the chain and any chain in general. But, there are blue bottle flies everywhere - all over us today and a constant battle to keep them off of our food. I know...

Popped in on our way from Leeds. The place is small but the service is great. The food is good and really reasonably priced. Staff are attentive and really helpful. Definitely worth a visit.

Unacceptable is the word that springs to mind, Gammon presented burnt side down. It was mostly fat and couldn’t be cut . The lettuce that came with food was dry and brown . I’m sure the staff wouldn’t eat it so why is it ok to serve to paying customers.

Take a trip on the A58 from Leeds Ring Road towards Drighlington. Hopefully if you hit a red light at the Woodcock crossroads you will smell the burnt fat in the air. So close your windows. Avoid.

Never in my life have I had food as bad as this, Sunday dinner with no mash or Yorkshire’s, chicken microwaved to death frozen veg and roasties, walked out

Brilliant food brilliant size portions never been disappointed yet.The pub is warm and friendly meals are cooked to order.

Pedimos los 2 platos principales para 9 tanto Gammon ordenado que venía con huevo y piña y patatas fritas también fue rápido para venir a la mesa. Todo cocinado bien y el personal tomó orden y nos atendió nuestra mesa era agradable y amable.También tuvimos un postre cada uno.Buena relación calidad-precio y lugar agradable.Fue bastante animado para una noche de missy pero sin duda vale la pena echarle un vistazo si quieres una comida rápida y asequible.

We arrived at The Woodcock with friends after a day out. We managed to get the last available table. We ordered off the menu which we thought was good value two meals for £9. With drinks of course came to a reasonable amount. A popular and well patronised pub come restaurant. Recommend a visit if in the area.

Booked for 2nd wedding anniversary meal and asked for a flower on table when arrived there was a bunch of flowers for my wife. Great food, great staff pleasant place for food or can go in next room for a chat

We met some friends for a lunchtime catch up at the Woodcock & had a lovely time with some nice food and drinks . The bar staff were very friendly and the food was good . We had Hunters Chicken & Scampi & chips at a very reasonable price .

Been coming here for quite awhile now. Had a lovely meal this evening and the staff that were serving are very nice and friendly. Definitely worth a lot more visits

Acabo de tener mi primera visita al Woodcock. Y tengo que decir que me impresionó.

We called in here for a meal having passed so many times. It is a typical Sizzler bar, the staff were friendly and efficient. The decor was clean and pleasant. We ordered meals with Steaks. Not the best steak we have had but it was Rump and wasn.t overly expensive. We would visit again maybe try something different from the menu.

Went for a meal on the spare of the moment. Ordered super food salad. Excellent value. Nice portion size. Tasted great. Bonus, it was a quiz night. Different from other quiz nights, it had a variety of different quizzes, music, a family fortunes type game, there was 5 different quizzes, a pound a go. You can choose if you want to participate in one game or all..your choice. Great fun. We'll be back next Tuesday.

Went to the woodcock for a birthday meal as a family we had 3 of us in a party of 8 all celebrating our birthdays on the exact same date when hubby walked in he asked if they had room for a table of 8 and was advised that it would of been better to book but the staff moved a few tables for us so we could sit together I then decided I didn't like where we was sat so we moved again and the staff moved the tables for is again all this was met with friendly cheeky banter from the manager who was pleasent all the way through our meals all came out together and the food was tasty and piping hot after we had finished our meal the manager brought out a piece of chocolate cake with ice cream on it and a candle for everyone who's birthday it was which was a great gesture big thank you to the staff and the manager for making it a great afternoon will defiantly be our go to family meal pub now

Visited here with my friend for our meal out for the month & the food was very nice. The young lad who took our food order was very nice.

Love coming here for food, great service and happy staff, big shout out to Tom for excellent service and for making us feel welcome recommend to anyone!

We called in for a quick bite to eat.

This place is cheap. The plastic food is cheap ,the beer is not so cheap just tastes like it should be. Very clique if you want good company take some with you.

Would just like to say a huge thank you to The Woodcock for looking after us on Christmas Day. The whole meal was amazing and the service was excellent. We had such a wonderful day and will definitely be booking again for next year. We loved it!

Arrived early as we had a few people we’re giving lifts to ...place packed as we expected it would be ,Went to bar to order drinks ordered a pint and a cider turned to my sister in law to say which one she wanted she said dark fruit then ordered wine at that point I noticed half of cider as well when I mentioned this she said you said cider you’ll have to pay for that now ,a little later we ordered more drink and mentioned to the young man we had a table booked for 6 people ,he came round showed us to our table which still needed cleaning but we just wanted to sit down as dad is 90 ...the manager I think said you’ll have to move which I understand and I said we just wanted to sit down we’ve been stood up a while to which he replied yes so have I ...I’m sorry but that’s not how you should be talking to customers...well starters arrived which were ok but didn’t need cooking an hour and a half after we sat down our mains arrived mine well the vegetarian tart was tasteless the sprouts cold the parsnips burnt Yorkshire pud had a blob of gravy in it and stuffing ball ...dads steak well I eat out a lot and never seen a 8oz sirloin steak like that in my life dad left it ,we all picked at our meals ...no one asked if our meals were ok ..the woman from behind the bar came to clear our plates and asked how it was I told her not good ..she said did you tell anyone before I could answer she was walking away saying well I wasn’t on the floor today ...I can honestly say this will be the last time we visit here.

Im writing this on behalf of the whole family, We take my Gran every year for her Christmas dinner as she doesn't get out much at 93, we had starters that seemed ok but you don't cook cold prawns and bread n butter.

Just had a fantastic Christmas meal with my friends. Food was perfect & the service was really good. Will definitely be going back. Thank you!

Myself & 7 of my friends came here for Christmas lunch. The food was lovely, the service from the staff was great. Thumbs up all round.

Just had a great Christmas dinner with friends here. Great food at a great price and lovely atmosphere. Would recommend.

I haven't visited the Woodcock for a while now but because I had a friend from abroad I decided to take him there as previous visits were very pleasant with friendly staff and excellent food. Today's visit however was the opposite. There were three of us, two ordered sirloin and the third a rump steak, all medium rare. I used to be a mystery shopper and I have never experienced a sirloin with gristle, neither has my friend and my mother-in-law found hers too tough to eat. When the waitress came to see if all was o.k., I replied our sirloin was gristly and it didn't taste like a sirloin (it was also tough). to which she replied, maybe we got a bad batch! What type of establishment serves 'a bad batch'? My mother-in-law had hers replaced and the second one was just as tough. I have never had a tasteless, gristly, tough medium rare steak and can only think most chefs cut out any gristle and/or it has been frozen and/or there is a new chef. My friend was even more upset because he has trouble biting and only ordered the steak because he had a taste of a sirloin on Monday at Glasshouses in Wath, which melted in his mouth. Would not recommend this place for steak. I cannot comment on any other food as I said previous visits were fine but I would suggest staff training be improved. Flippant answers are not the way to satisfy customer grievances.

just been to the Woodcock for an evening meal. Didn't book but managed to get a table Staff were very helpfull The meal was excellent and the service was excellent and the pub looked very festive definetly recommend anybody to go there.

I wish I'd read the previous review about the 'never buy cheap steak' as I think I too suffered from this.... it was chewy and pretty tasteless. The sizzler effect made for a greasy meal, lots of onion might have helped but it wasn't sizzled to the point of being tasty.... and the mushroom and tomato just seemed to rest in the fat.

Nos detuvimos en Woodcock ya que estaba a mitad de camino a casa durante la hora punta y el tráfico era intenso y teníamos hambre.

Ok being here lots of times usually really good ,shopping ,lunch, low key ,good value,excellent staff,have they got new chef ,not so good today ,minimal portion ,less choice ,😫,very quite no excuse ,disappointed,could have being bad day for chef !

Encontré esto en Trip Advisor y es una pequeña joya! El menú y la selección de comida eran muy buenos y los precios eran razonables. El personal era servicial y amable. El pub parece bastante informal, sin embargo, me gustó esto ya que quería comer en algún lugar donde me sintiera cómodo. ¡Vale la pena una visita!

Visitamos la comida que estaba deliciosa y llegamos en poco tiempo! Las porciones son generosas y tienen una gran relación calidad-precio.

Visitamos por comida un domingo por la tarde. Éramos 4 de nosotros. Tuvimos la suerte de conseguir una mesa, ya que normalmente está muy ocupado. La comida era deliciosa como siempre y el personal es muy amable. Definitivamente recomendaría una visita, pero no olvide reservar para evitar decepciones.

Me, my husband and my young family visited the The Woodcock on Friday! I have to say what a great evening we had! The food was tasty and came so quickly considering how busy they were! The staff dealt with us amazingly as they were rushed off their feet! Looking forward to going back! Thanks so much The Woodcock! Xx

Despite the fact that it was quite full, our meals came very quickly. The staff vere very friendly indeed.

went to day four of us had the 10 starters for 26 pounds which were very nice ,but the lettuce on each starter was inedible was only fit for the bin we have had this before ,you would think it would tell the chef something when you send all the lettuce back,I would have complained but my daughter would not let me we will try again but will make sure we don’t have salad dressing.

Fantastic foodie pub - awesome food - friendly staff & great experience all round - very welcoming indeed

So I hve always had good things to say about this place, however took some friends back in July and the food was worse than terrible. I didn't eat a single crumb and said informed the waiter who came over to take away my full plate of food..and he replied ok.!! It wasn't the usual staff on, and this made even ordering complicated for them !!So paid and just decided not to come back. Well me being me decided to give it another chance, as we all have so bad days so returned a middle August and it wasn't great, but not as terrible as the previous visit.So we where in Leeds today, so I decided to have dinner in there today (28th August ) I wish I hadn't !!!! The menus where stuck together, so had to swap them from another table, then another table as they were lso filthy and stuck together. Greg got a burger and cold soggy frozen chips and pathetic frozen cold and soggy so called onion rings. I got Veggie Nacho's, which I asked for extra cheese (which I will gladly pay extra for and extra jalapenos ) The very small portion of Nacho's arrived with a pinch of cheese, a tea spoon of sour cream and guacamole and 5 jalapenos. So now I shall Definitely give this place a WIDE BERTH . No more chances.

Good choice. Nice food. Great portion sizes. Service ok not outstanding but not poor either. Just would say wipe down the menus they are always sticky but on saying that have been back a few times

We both went for a burger meal, my girlfriend had a black and blue burger (Stilton cheese and beef) with chips, and I had a Skyscraper burger which was a doubly stacked burger (succulent and juicy), with curly fries. We were served within fifteen minutes without any problems with our food. Our drinks were also refreshing and ice cold.

Had a lovely meal with my wife Good staff and food Exallent service Good quality food at a good price Wine good price too

After reading some of the reviews on here,I was a bit apprehensive but thought we should try for ourselves. I am so glad we did. The bar in the restaurant area was tidy and clean. Food was efficiently served from the kitchen HOT, staff were aware of customers waiting at the bar and quick to help begins the bar when needed, even if that meant leaving a job they were doing.

The mananger did not let me have a family pint even though i was 18 years old he was like we will take the drinks from you cause you are breaking the law wont be going back there again.

stopped going to our local after hygiene issues and a rant with ceo of company, daughter thinks its great so tried another locally, now we know we were right to stay away. pub looked ok when we arrived and not too busy for a bank holiday, told there was a wait for food as it was so (!) busy. after a short wait food arrived my medium rare steak was very well done, and my daughters chicken nuggets were incinerated and had no bbq sauce as promised by the menu. our waiter had no idea how to treat us when i told him these truths, and he immediately forgot my daughters pudding. Sizzling pubs should train staff on how to deal with when issues arrive, free pudding is not the answer when we had already ordered and paid for pudding, oh well, back to mr wetherspoon it is.

We were looking forward to a nice romantic meal, but unfortunately we couldn't hear ourselves speak.

Me & my wife have visited the Woodcock 3 times now in May this year, for drinks and a meal.. the service is “excellent”... the most friendly and welcoming people who run this pub are so obliging.. the meals are very good, prices for our age group (over 60’s) are really excellent...I just thought I had to mention this pub as it deserves praise.

Just such a wonderful pub. The staff are ALL so friendly and incredibly helpful. Nothing is an issue . The food is top notch , and never fails to impress. Its my new go to pub for great all round drink and food.

Been planning to visit many times as I have passed however today finally managed to get there whilst I was that side of Leeds. Must say I wasn't disappointed. Good choice of food, fantastic prices. I can steak pie my friend had scampy. We were both impressed with quality. Staff were lovely helpful. Place was clean tidy and we are both impressed and will return again.

Come here regularly and it’s always amazing for both food and drinks. The staff are absolutely brilliant always attentive and very friendly. The manager/landlord is incredibly funny and this seems infectious creating a great atmosphere for both the staff and customers alike.

Love this place that we now go once a week - the food is awesome & the overall experience is top notch - such friendly welcoming staff - a real credit to the Woodcock - the place is always lovely & clean when we go...

Visited here on Easter Saturday the food was really good, the staff were friendly and attentive good value for money will visit again.

Love the breakfast at The Woodcock. It’s always nicely prepared, and on hot plates. I love the music they play and feel very welcome each time we go, a proper home from home x

Met best friends here for a meal and a catch-up. Food was really good and staff was very friendly. very busy pub Book a table ahead if you can

been back 4 times since last review. food is excellent ,the staff are very good and the girls very pretty..tables are cleared promptly. only bug bear is still the car park. .food and staff brilliant

Visited here today for my birthday and it was such a nice pub/restaurant. Very very clean, food was beautiful think it was the best I’d had in a while.. the food arrived quickly and was very very hot definitely needed a drink to cool the food down.

Great food at great prices. Pub and cliental friendly, along with staff too. We called 'off the hoof'. Tables available and no big wait for our food being delivered to our table. Would recommend for quick and cheap meal out. We also downloaded the app and got an extra £5.00 off our meal paid 12.00 for 2 meals and drinks too.

got there around 7:30 greeted by polite and friendly staff food well presented and tasty ( i recomend the mixed grill ) reasonably price to would return and recomend

Just had lunch and found it very good it was are first time hear . Nice large portions at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff . Will be making another visit.

We had Christmas Dinner on Christmas Day 2017. The food was very good, served and presented well, at the correct temperature and it also tasted good. For value for money it was second to none.

I had a couple of bad experiences here a few years ago. Lately, two different people recommended it. It's now a 'sizzling' pub and apparently the food is now lovely.

We went on Tuesday after noon had a lovely steak on a bed of onions mushroom and a grilled tomato with chips it was very nice enjoyed it my husband had the hunters chicken again on a bed of onions ,chips and tomato cannot remember was else he had .I was busy enjoying my meal .Will definitely be going back
