Tom Foolery in Leeds

Lovely bacon bap in brioche, coffee average, service average

The biggest asset here seems to be the staff who worked hard and remained cheerful despite being one team member short.( I presume) We sat at table 8 before ordering from the bar - and had our order delivered to table 5. Later, when we ordered again, we were told that we were sat at table 5 - even though the disc on the table said 8! We had poached eggs on toast which were fine and sweet chilli chicken sandwich which was not as it really lacked chicken. Not worth the £12 paid, despite the finely crumbled crisps on the accompanying salad! I tried to pay with cash - but was told ‘card only’ though didn’t see any sign to that effect. A further note on the theme of communication. The Gents toilets were down some steps, at basement level. So why put the ‘out of order - use upstairs (disabled) toilet’ notice on the door rather than at the top of the stairs?

We went for Brunch after my son's wedding. Excellent coffee. Delicious food tho some of our group had completed their meal before others were served tho our group was big ,25.

Called in for a brew and toast. Not impressed a lovely place, brew good. 15 minute wait for toast and as I was asking at the bar the waitress walked past, iasked if that was ours and she completely ignored me. Wouldnt bother again

Tom Foolery has been supported by my family from its early days under the professional eye of Marcus Emadi . During Covid Marcus changed the image regularly from a deli, superb takeaway and genuinely supported the Boston community . Sadly , of late, it seems to be slipping on the finer details….no napkins or cutlery ……smiley staff but very obviously under pressure ……..food not quite so spot on . In Boston there in now more choice ….please don’t let your standards slip. You have a large and loyal group of customers !

Superb menu. We were surprised what is classed as South American. Some lovely flavours. Great food and service. A well run local restaurant with a great chef. A super compliment to the many other restaurants in the village.

The food was tastey but was disappointed by the portion size for the price- A small sandwich, few bits of salad and 4 crisps for £14.

Good was good, friendly staff. Atmosphere wise we sat not too far from the kitchen and heard the front of house and kitchen staff swearing. Not a massive deal as I used to work in kitchens so know what it’s like but not great when you have kids with you. Overall though a nice place.

I went with my sister in law, I had £50 voucher and was told after ordering food I had to use it all in one visit which is impossible for brunch, which wasn't good, beans were cold, they wouldn't do my sister in law poached egg on toast as she don't like sourdough yet I got toast with my breakfast, the service was terrible no smiles had to fetch own cutlery and sugar, would never go again. Now means I wasted £30 on voucher

Best iced turmeric chai latte and protffesional and friendly bar staff 💯Keep it up 👍🤩

Good venue , very welcoming, varied menu , very well Presented.

Great place this. Nice food and water bowls a plenty. Would have given it 5 stars but you have another dog on the website and not me :-( Flame xxx 🔥

Great food and wine. Great meeting up with family there on the door step

Good food and relaxing atmosphere

So glad we went. We called in today (Thursday 30th May) for brunch. Really enjoyed the whole experience, the food was really good and the service was spot on. I don't usually write a review but the negativity within the reviews on here did not reflect the experience we had so I felt compelled to the relay the positive one we had. Have an open mind and give it a try.

Accepted only very little choice of food left at 2.45 but very ungraciously served and had to ask for sauces and go up and collect own cutlery No option to add even a lettuce leaf Very noisy.

It's a nice pub with a good selection of beers, although I came for brunch and didn't have beer. Full English breakfast was good but not great. I could taste that the poached eggs were cooked in vinegar, they came out looking good but had a slight tang to them. Mushrooms are cooked in garlic, which is a bit of an overpowering taste on breakfast in my opinion. They did offer to let me swap the mushrooms, which was nice, so I swapped for an extra slice of toast (very nice bread, too). Bacon was thin and fatty, I like a nice thick rasher, even better if grilled rather than fried. I would come back to try the pizza in an evening, if I'm out this way. Update: I've been in for breakfast a couple more times; the bacon was a bit thicker and the poached eggs were much better. I've increased the food score a bit. I do still miss having plain mushrooms though.

A great place in Boston Spa for a coffee, we will back no doubt, thanks.

Just a quick drink, but it was a nice place

Visited for breakfast on a sunday morning, had the pancakes and the full English, can tell they use good quality ingredients, hot chocolate with all the fixings was lovely, great atmosphere very chilled, busy little spot, would definitely recommend

This potentially a very nice place to visit for a drink & food, it has a nice atmosphere. However if you can’t get a simple bowl of French fries right then you’re in trouble. We ordered a pint & a coffee which were produced in good time as were the fries but no knapkins , no forks, no side plates. The small bowl was full & as we picked at the fries they tended to fall onto the sticky table. Not great

Great food, speedy delivery, would recommend

Polly is the is the supreme master of service with a gorgeous smile and manner.. Totally on top of everything at the bar and does the job of 3 dimwits at Wetherspoon's. I hope she is on £30 an hour as she does 3 jobs at once.

No hot drinks available when we arrived. Disappointed as mother in law had made the effort to walk all the way into the village.

The coffee is spot on from here.

It used to be a lovely, family and dog friendly place to call in for lunch or coffee, early dinner etc. Not today. The service was awful. Even though it wasn’t busy nobody came over to clear the table before we sat down so we did that ourselves. No hot drinks available as it was the wrong time of day. The woman behind the bar was short on patience, difficult, unhelpful and certainly not an asset to Tomfoolery. The dog friendliness was non existent. I asked for a water bowl and was told to look for one myself. Barking isn’t tolerated. We were warned we’d have to leave if it continued. It didn’t, but if you accept dogs and are happy to take their owners money, then you have to compromise here. We definitely won’t be back after today.

Great venue,polite staff,dog friendly unless they are yapping and the owner can’t control them!

Excellent food, great service ,

Very poor service, took 40 mins to place an order for 4 meals then 3 arrived 30 mins later, they had forgot mine had to wait another 30 mins then the food was cold will never set foot in the place again plus its very expensive very very poor. Marvin & Friends.

Collected a large 16 pizza order from these guys via Just Eat. Staff were pretty cool & they worked hard to fulfil our order on time. Didn't have a drink, but this place looks pretty cool for a night out.

We met two friends here at eleven during twixmas, the place was very very busy with the addition of a christening party downstairs. We waited over ten minutes stood at the bar to place our order! There was only one staff member serving alcohol and taking orders, eventually another staff member came to take orders. She said drinks would be another fifteen minutes, however she didn’t mention that the food would be a further half hour after that! We had therefore finished our drinks before the food arrived. The bacon sandwich was lukewarm, the sausage ones were hotter and all the brioche bun tops were verging on being burnt. We do not live locally and had found this establishment as a convenient place to meet friends from afar. Needless to say we will not be returning, which is a shame, because if the management staffed the place adequately then I feel sure that all our concerns could be rectified.

Fantastic experience hats off to Tom foolery

I left a message in the notes to restaurant asking for no pickles or burger sauce. The burger came with both. Shame. The other people enjoyed their food.

Beautiful food, good value for money. If you collect take a bag.

Very overpriced. £6.75 for a pint of peroni. Same price if you make it a shandy as well

I went in last night and my cousins id got denied by the managed “holly”. Absolutely ridiculous. Everyone els was absolutely fine but hers. She’s 18years old she had her bank card, online banking, social media and still wasn’t okay? What more do you need to prove an id is real? Absolutely ridiculous when we are in there every weekend and there’s never been a problem before. She threatened everyone’s id to be taken off them even tho we’re over 18. Sort her out. She’s rude.

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID! Pathetic excuses for no delivery after 1.5hrs (Est 30-45 min). Claimed their system hadn't received the order despite acknowledging it. Then, after we asked for a refund, which they said wasnt possible, they marked the order as delivered. UTTER RUBISH - Don't believe a word they say!

Local resident! Called in for a coffee.. 15 mins later i asked were's my coffee please!!! Reply was! Im just doing it now... not impressed

Six of us ate at the Tom Foolery (where we had eaten and enjoyed on a previous occasion) at lunchtime on Bank Holiday Monday, but it seems that someone had failed to tell them that it was a BH, so no sausages and no sourdough was the starting point (by lunchtime it was quiet) A bacon sandwich and double bacon on the breakfast were accepted. All the bacon eaters were disappointed at how overdone the bacon was when it arrived. I ordered poached eggs on the focaccia substitute - a pity that there was no mention on the menu of the balsamic that was sprayed all over my food. Usually, I would have sent it back but the wait was not worth it, half not eaten. Other choices arrived without the promised side elements. Drinks were ordered; Dr. Peppers magically turned into Coke and one drink just didn’t arrive – it is digitally recorded on the till, so how are such basic errors made? Very disappointing and a location we will not return to.

Ordered a sandwich from the menu which stated fries were included in the price, but at the point of sale I was asked if I wanted standard crisps or to upgrade to fries for an additional fee. When I pointed to the menu and queried why I had to pay extra for something already included I was told things have changed and they are waiting for new menus from the printers and they can’t honour the current menu because the till has already been set up for crisps only. The manager confirmed the same, shrugged his shoulders and said there’s nothing he can do, despite being a director of the company. A case of ‘computer says no’ and a director who clearly values the small cost of a few chips over any repeat custom ever from myself and my friends. Some people just aren’t cut out for working with the public and have no concept of the meaning of customer service. The website menu hasn’t been updated either and is exactly the same as the menu I was given where it clearly states that the sandwich comes with house fries. Ps; Dear manager, please don’t bother to respond as I’ve already seen the shrugging shoulders and heard the weak explanation and would rather not hear any more.

The worst pizza I think I have ever had. So flat you could hardly see them. So crispy I almost cracked a tooth - waited 20 minutes past the collection time - to cap it all we paid £10 a pop and when we went to collect they are charging £6 on site…. Never again

Order was wrong, still waiting for promised refund.

Honestly very disappointed with the two pizzas we ordered. You could tell the base was frozen shop bought, not fresh and had an unpleasant after taste. I ordered the southbank pizza which was supposed to have pickled cucumber but none to be seen! Was very sparsely topped as well. Will not order here again. Order time was OK but when we arrived on time we had to wait an extra 5 minutes.

One of the best pizzas I’ve had, the posher than lady L was unreal! 10/10!

Very very expensive for what we had poor quality food service slap dash to busy chatting so I’m afraid we certainly won’t be going back, It’s so overpriced.

Delicious food and really prompt collection time

Food was cold. Pizza was covered in flour leaving it inedible. Really disappointed as the food sounded really good in the description.

Food is terrible, staff are more interested in talking and serving their friends than customers who are waiting patiently to be served

the pizza were great but the fries have changed to some cheap quality oven fries instead of their usual skin on fries with the salt clusters but they haven’t updated their menu to show the change

Absolutely amazing pizzas and the salt and pepper chips were delicious 😋

Overpriced poor quality and always having to substitute

Tom Foolery is a great place, it caters for a wider audience - fab coffee and/or lunch place in day and by night a nice bar with great food with a drink or two… Friday/Saturday it provides a place we can dance with good DJs. However what has blown it away was how great quiz night was last night! We often did another pub quiz in village on Mondays but our heads have been turned. See you soon TF! We even won £50 bar tab…. Loving life

We have been going to Tom's for quite a number of years now. We love this bar as its not only on our doorstep (Bonus) it has a great atmosphere, its friendly, serves good food and a wide variety of specialist beers, cocktails and drinks, we love it because our two dogs Holly & Pheobe love this place also. It's quite rare to find a bar now that make your dogs feel just as welcome as you. Nathan & Mark and all the staff, thank you, we look forward to our weekends, its' such a great place to visit.

Some days / early evenings its a lovely relaxing atmosphere but then others there is no where to sit as the bar / restaurant insists on having seating for 4/6/8 with high tables dotted around with most taken up with couples who are not willing to move their handbags or worse dogs!!! The manager seems to find it acceptable to let owners sit their muddy pawed dogs on seats that are fabric (booths for 6-8 that sometimes only have 2 people sat there with their dogs) & leather seats that are not wiped down after dogs have been sat on them. There is a couple who's dogs have baby talc all over their bottoms sat on seats that customers who are nicely dressed for the evening have to sit on. The young manager also lets a group of boys sit vaping all the time they are there without batting an eyelid... Could the owner invest in smaller lower tables, take the awful 2 booths out and replace with probably 12 tables for 2 along with the 3 high tables which could be replaced with more seating options??? Salt just up the road is cleaner(no dogs allowed on seats) slightly cheaper with a better atmosphere. Toms is definitely going down hill which is a shame. Why have that unusable silly sparkly booth in the corner taking up space??? Do the owners not realise customers are walking out because of lack of tables??? More seats for 2, if the groups are larger there is option to put together.

We Have ordered from here previously and it's been amazing tonight a different story ! , I have to say highly dissatisfied and have hardly eaten it , most of it's gone in the bin , the food arrived cold and the leaves on the salad were more brown than green , The Parmo we ordered had a very strange aftertaste neither of us enjoyed and for a place we've always had cracking takeaways throughout lockdown from this was a massive let down ,

Tasty food however somewhat disappointed that some of what we had ordered had been substituted without us being told and other things were missing from our order. We would try again though.

I have been to the pub many times and recommended it to others, never again will go her for food. Absolutely terrible in every way service and quality it was absolutely dreadful. My sister is a celiac and we checked twice to make sure everything she had chosen was good for her and we were told it was, but her mouth still swelled up as a result, my friend was sick all night. The standard of service and quality has drastically gone down hill never again.

Had my daughters baby shower here Saturday afternoon and had a super time. The downstairs room was cosy with the most comfortable chairs. Staff were extremely helpful and food and drinks were great. Thanks for a lovely afternoon.

We have enjoyed visiting Tom Foolery regularly for the past 4 years. The place has a great feel and we enjoy a light meal and a bottle of wine. We don't have a big appetites so sharing a pizza and fries with a bottle of wine was ideal. Very happy on our previous visit as the house red was only £16 compared to the usual £19. This week we were very disappointed to find the wine back up to £19 a bottle and Pizzas no longer on the menu. We chose a vegan sharer at £26 which was 90% chips and little else. Bill should have been £45 but charged £46. Will not be going again.

We were stopping in the area and fancied a quiz , we moved tables as not much room. And then the quiz host started insulting is so we left . He was unprofessional and you never make people want to leave a venue . He insulted us over the mic , as well as swearing a lot , fing and blinding . We want a nice night out , but don’t go to this place as the host is a idiot who thinks he is funny and is rude and I would never go back to this place , my partner was going to have a go at him , but I persuaded him to leave it , as he made us feel awful . Stay well away .

The burger was over priced, small and not great. Wouldn't buy again

We stopped here for lunch today, we were lucky to get a table when we did as it was super busy. There were 2 women serving & they were really run off their feet but they were polite & smiling. The food was nice we had poached eggs and a sandwich, and coffee which was good! I feel like some of the reviews before are harsh - yes understaffed but they turned up for work and served as quick as they could! 2 members of staff on the floor is minimal! We were just passing after a walk so probably won’t be back but give this place a chance, the bar decor is great and the food good - if they get more staff then it’ll be back on track!

Too pricy for portion size. Quality was average as well

Absolutely amazing food. Great delivery. Caring. Definitely order again.

It's been a while since I have been for food and drink at Tom Foolery. It maybe the same again. Popped in for lunch on a Monday. It was quite busy but still places available. Nice bustle about the place. Only two of us, we were sat down a good 10 minutes before anyone approached us. We weren't in a hurry, so no bother. When we had our order taken by the man, he wasn't engaging, didn't look enthusiastic and well, just miserable. The food was nice and coffee too. We ordered extra coffee's later and it was very slow service to get them. By this point the place was quiet so not sure why the delay. Come on TF, you can do better. A smile and some enthusiasm goes a long way.

What has happened to this place? We like to have a trip out on Sundays and stumbled on this place a few years ago and always enjoyed our visits. The staff were always polite, friendly, attentive and well dressed. The food was different and interesting and it had a nice vibe. I was looking for somewhere to take my mum and my partner for their birthday this weekend and as my mum had never been, thought it would be a good place to visit. Their website says there is no need to book but as it was a double birthday and it’s about an hour or so drive, I thought I’d call to see if we could book a table. Called up explained that it was a double birthday, travelling far, wanted a table as we were going to eat etc. helpful guy said that there would be no need to book and there were two floors so I was happy that we’d get a table. On the website it says there are two menus, brunch until 3, and then the afternoon/evening menu. We thought the afternoon menu sounded better for what we were after so arrived at 2.30 to get settled and choose what we wanted. Arrived, hung around the bar to see if we could have any table, nobody bothered to acknowledge us, so we found a table. Went to the bar waited, waited, then finally was told by the lady behind the bar she’d be with us after she’d finished serving other drinks. Then it was our turn. Told they weren’t doing food, I explained that I’d called the week before and not told that. Shrug of shoulders, then she said that even if they were serving food it doesn’t start until 4.30. I explained that the website says 3, another shrug of shoulders. Drinks ordered and I had a bottle of AF beer. Asked for a pint glass for it, was handed a warm half pint glass by a very disinterested looking young man, I asked if I could have a cold glass, slight sigh from him as he searched for one. We returned to our seats to enjoy a cacophony of sounds from screaming kids running wild. My partner visited the toilets but there was no soap or hand wash. Like another reviewer has said, it’s a place run by disinterested kids without any management/supervision. Won’t be returning which is a shame.

Dropped into Tom Foolery this afternoon with the intention of having lunch. Left waiting in the doorway for over 5 minutes next to the sign saying "Wait to be Seated", only ended up getting a table when we alerted a member of staff who knew we were waiting but did her best to avoid eye contact. The member of staff just pointed to a table across the room and said "you can sit there" W sat waiting for another 20 minutes and no one even came to the table to take a drinks order or hand us a menu. The place was far from busy, must have be no more than 20 people in there. In the end we decided to leave, don't think the staff even noticed or were bothered!! This place looks like it is being run by kids with not a manger or anyone in a position of responsibility taking charge. What a shame, won't be returning!!

Ordered deliveries twice now, both deliveries 2 hours late and food cold.

Looked inviting from outside. Served quickly but then despite not many people in, waited a long time for food, then it was wrong order so another wait. Baked Burrata, Mushrooms, Truffle Oil sandwich a bit strange, bread warm and crispy on top, not much mushroom...

It’s not clear in just eat that you get fries with the burger. Hence We mistakenly ordered too many fries. Burger described as having 6oz burgers (plural). Suggesting two as opposed to one. Which we expects as some Burgers from tomfoolery used to be bigger and have 2 burger in them. Burgers are now too small and not worth the money.

Usually very good. However, food was 30 mins late, burger was dry, chips were luke warm. Beers were alcohol free instead of what was ordered so were sent back. Pretty disappointing overall.

Unfortunately, the quality of the food was not good. We have ordered from here before and have been very impressed. However, spending £30 we were left very disappointed. The pizzettas were extremely salty. The chips were overcooked and the arancini balls were about the size of half a chicken nugget. We are reluctant to order from here again until the menu changes and/or the quality improves. Disappointing.

We have visited Tom Foolery as couples with friends and most recently Fathers day. My husband and I had just returned from our holiday looking forward to a nice drink with Nachos and Cheesy garlic bread to nibble on... We were more than disappointed that...

It’s just ok. Not amazing but not bad. Burger, fries and a couple of pizza slices. Have had much better from here but the last few times have just been ok - a relatively expensive ok. Will give it a miss next time

Food has take a massive dip in quality recently. Pizzas are small and too greasy now. Chips arrived under cooked not pleased.

We ❤️ Tom Foolery and Just Eat 🍅🌮

As usual food was gorgeous and arrived home,love the food from here!!

My Husband requested a burger for Fathers Day and boy this place did not disappoint. What an amazing relaxed atmosphere, trendy vibe, a place where anyone of any age could turn up feel welcome and have great food thrown in. We were rather greedy as...

Ordered 2 pizzas for my friend's birthday with delivery time of 7.55pm selected. At 7.30, received a text saying the food was on its way. 8pm came and went and no food. At about 8.10, reported as late on Just Eat and it said I'd receive an update from TF within 5 mins by text. Nothing received. Tried calling them shortly thereafter - no answer so left a voicemail. Tried a further 2 calls - no answer. Sent a message via Instagram as a last resort. Got a reply within 10 mins (order now 45 mins late with no contact up to this point) apologising saying the chef missed the order, but it would be with us within 10 mins with a bottle of wine as a goodwill gesture. It arrived finally, almost 1 hr late. It was cold and chewy so most certainly had not been prepared fresh - guessing it had in fact been sitting in the delivery driver's car. This is not the first disappointing experience from them, which is a shame since the food is good once it arrives and if it is fresh.

Have wanted to go to this place for years as it looks lovely. I can't even remember what I ate it made such little impression. Oh, a vegetarian chilli bean something or other. It appeared within minutes of being ordered which suggested that the microwave had been free. It tasted very artificial and the rice, packet, although I'm sure it wasn't. This was the sort of food that I hate as it tastes of nothing and is unpleasant in texture. This place promised so much because of its look and style, which is funky, but I would leave the food for another time; probably never.

Lovely menu, I had the burrito bowl, tasty. Attentive staff, good drinks menu and all set in a really quirky enjoyable setting.

Brilliant, big order for a company and all arrived hot and on time! Highly recommended

Went for a lunchtime visit on Bank holiday Monday. Had the burrito bowl however it was very hit and miss. The mixed chilli beans were only luke warm and the chicken was dry. Cheesy garlic bread as a side was delicious! Food however took nearly...

We arrived at 7pm. We were shown to a table and a high chair provided for the 15 month old child with us. We were then told that we must leave as they would not allow the child. In this day and age this is...

Great pub, great staff and food!

Absolutely amazing as usual,can't fault anything we've had delivered from here it's always been spot on,our favourite place to get a takeaway from when we fancy a treat,best place in boston spa 👍

Just had a takeaway delivery. Pizza loaded fries dip and a bottle of larger. Worst takeaway I have ever had won’t be buying another from there. Cold tasteless and really inedible and was not cheap

Slightly strange set up limited menu as they were changing over to lunch so was running down breakfasts than and rolls were nice enough so no complaints there

We ordered at 6:15pm and it said it would be with us in max 45 mins. Once order was placed it then said it would be between 1hr 20 mins-1hr 45 mins so we couldn’t do anything to change it. The chef phoned us at 7:30pm to say he was just cooking it. It was finally delivered to us at 8pm. Would think twice about ordering again.

What a lovely place really enjoyed it we will be back ....Andy was awesome waiter couldn't do enough 10 star 👏 👌

Good choice for meeting friends for a coffee!

Really nice place to grab a coffee or breakfast (only have been in the morning). The food was quite pricey for where and what it was, but tasted really nice and was presented well all the same. The place is really baby and dog friendly. May seem odd to say a place is baby friendly, but the couple I went with found the staff were super accommodating to their babies needs.

Underwhelming welcome. Took ages to order. Told we had to order drinks and food separately as the kitchen was too busy. Treated as an inconvenience, despite the place being only half full. We asked to pay - waited over 10 minutes for the card machine...

I met 3 friends for Sunday lunch yesterday for a catch up. We were a little concerned after seeing some negative reviews but we needn’t have worried. The food was great and reasonably priced for the generous portions we received. Even though our table was...

Lovely food! Great staff, friendly and toasty warm!!
