Town Hall Tavern in Leeds

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch . The portion was just right . The Yorkshire pudding was one of the best I've ever had. Veg & chicken were cooked perfect & the whole meal was so tasty . Extra onion gravy served hot in a gravy boat & cauliflower cheese served separately. Worth every penny . Compliments to the chef . I'll definitely be back .

always nice to find a traditional pub..in a city....serving wholesome fresh food...we had the Sunday lunch...for around 13 pound....choice of beef..chicken...gammon...or a nut roast....I chose the beef and the missus chicken...both plentiful on the plate and very nice...served with yorkshire pudding and seasonal vegetables..with a side dish of cauliflower cheese...all in all well worth the money and very tasty....hats off to the chef....washed down with a traditional beer and a red wine for the missus...highly recommended..will be back....yum yum

Wonderful Sunday Lunch ,Excellent Ales , and a very Enthusiastic Helpful Landlord Joe

Randomly found this place while looking for some where to eat, and the Sunday dinner was more than what we expected...most of the tables were booked but the host joe was more than accommodating,and our group were well taken care of and we had a wonderful time and the food was better than expected well worth a second visit . P.s we loved meeting Taylor

We researched on trip advisor and the food lived up to the reviews. I had the roast beef and my wife had the roast chicken .I could not find a fault with anything on my huge plate of food .Only gripe is the place was almost empty and this needs resolving.Well worth the trip.out for Sunday lunch !

Cute little pub. Food was really good. Bartender A1

A great pub. Very friendly batman. Sunday roast was very good value. 😀

Didn't get food , am excellent pub with a well stocked bar , lots of choice if eal ales , good staff , great service , really enjoyed our visit

Top place for a great pint of Timmy Taylor. Highly recommended.

Good pub but I got a bad pint last time

Very nice pub that serves yummy roasted food and giant Yorkshire puddings. We went in on Saturday noon for lunch on 30th of December and it wasn’t busy at all but t it got busier later. The food was nice and fresh and the ambiance was nice and cosy.

A pleasant resting place between town and home. A fine selection of beers. The more the merrier. Keep bars open.

Was misleading for the Sunday lunches saying rich thick onion gravy and more like watery tasteless bisto

Great beers and the Sunday lunches are fabulous very tasty and very realistic prices for a pub in town

Your traditional pub serving decent beer (and food the last time we had it). Much more relaxing than "The Northern Market", from where we came.

Nice atmosphere! Good range of beers

Had a midweek lunch with our dog, excellent from start to finish. A dog bowl was brought over as soon as we sat down, good choice of beers and the food was great, fresh ingredients good hearty portions and decent value. We will be back thank you.

How can you knock the Town Hall Tavern? Since this pub has been taken over by Welcome Inns, it's had such a turn around! The manager Joe has been such a great edition to this pub and the staff are so pleasant! Outstanding food throughout the weekdays and weekend!

Went in specifically for the Ram Tam but unfortunately that was the one TT brew that wasn't on. However the Dark Mild (second choice) was very good.

First time at this pub, came here for the food which looks amazing but the kitchen closed at 3 so can’t sample it. Google maps says they serve food now until 7pm so that’s wrong. Will have to come back. No proper cider, thought it may do as it does real ales

Was recommended here by friends but did not know it had changed hands recently, staffed seemed to be still getting the hang of things so was quite slow. We were informed there was a delay in ordering and wouldn’t be able to order for at least another 45 mins. Food eventually came but was bland! Reminded me of school dinners, lumpy mash potato shaped out of an ice cream scoop and boiled veg, not the best! Meat was ok May be for some people or maybe we had a bad experience.

Hope you like Timothy Taylor beers..... very quiet on a very busy Sat night in Leeds. No atmosphere .

Good Sunday lunch in a quieter part of town at the weekend. Friendly service, good value, decent quality Nice to see a full selection of Taylor’s beer Recommend booking, we popped in at 12 and it was empty, back at 1 and we got the last food service table (the only have a few tables)

Lovely little pub. Only found it after searching Google for pub food and saw it's only a two minute walk from The Light, where we were heading for the cinema later. Had the full range of Timothy Taylor's cask ales on, so had three while I was there. Also had the Sunday Roast lunch (which is all they offer on Sundays), which was very nice. Nice friendly staff who are knowledgeable about the beers. Will have to try and pop in on another day of the week as I quite fancied the Steak and Ale Pie.

great sunday lunch , food was lovely excellent value . We will be back , v friendly staff , new landlord , good luck , keep up the great food & service

Nice pint of landlord. Good new menu and some lovely simple food cooked well and tasty. Good spot for lunch.

came when it was quiet and just had a drink

Absolute gem of a place! Joe was the host with the most. Did you know they have a loyalty card as well? Love this little find at the bottom of town. My new go to place X

Very nice meal great service, excellent staff, nice customers over all I give it a 10/10 would come here again!

This is a wonderful pub in a great location. However for the past year and many times visiting the beer is either not available or stale. I've been here before and had great food and beer, especially the range of Timothy Taylors, but too many times recently it's been poor. The staff are great and the atmosphere is fine but the beer is just not good enough for Timmy T's

Ages since I've been here. Atmosphere was a bit cold. The place needed a bit of life in it

This is a good place to get a traditional Sunday roast. Paulicarus has been before. A traditional pub in the Timothy Taylor's estate oddly located near the Town Hall. A full range of Taylor's beers on the impressive bank of handpumps. Paulicarus chose the Boltmaker bitter three times. Very good. We all ordered the roast beef at £13.95. Chicken and gammon were also available plus a veggie option. Asked the bar staff for recommendations for the next pub..and it was a great choice..The Templar hotel.

The Town Hall Tavern has been my favourite place to drink and eat for years. I am not sure if it is new management or what but my last visit was simply dreadful! The food was both shocking and over-priced and the staff spent more time looking at their 'phones than serving customers. What an absolute shame that this fine institution that I have frequented for over 40 years has become so awful.

My thanks goes to David, who helped me out on a personal matter today! In my 23 years of living in Leeds and having walked past the tavern countless times, I have never been in! This has been a mistake on my part, as it really is a lovely place to grab a drink. Thanks again David, you were great!

Absolutely fantastic Sunday dinner! Couldn't ask for a more friendlier and efficient service! Would recommend to anyone for both food and real ale

The beers are all Timmy T's, need I say more and served with a smile. Like heaven in a pint glass.

A well established building that has served for many years. Drinks are reducing. Keep bars alive 💪

Brilliant pub, amazing Timothy Taylor beer, lovely staff. Well worth a slight stroll out of the centre. Perfect for a beer!

Expensive and warm beer give it a miss

What has happened to the lovely THT? It felt more like a Wetherspoons than a gastro pub as it always used to be. Just full of people shouting and swearing - food looked cheap and nasty - total atmosphere change. What a shame - was always our “go to” for a guaranteed decent meal and drink in a friendly place, but it feels completely different now. Avoid unless you like an edgy, rough vibe!

Those of us who work around the west end of the city centre are glad to see that the THT, as everyone calls it, has re-opened. There aren't many pubs left this end of town. Currently they are serving excellent Tim Taylor's beer. Not sure about the current food offering but the gastro pub menu seems to have been abandoned, sadly. There are new people in charge as of March 2022 so good luck to them: we need a decent pub!

Didn't have food,but beer ,service and a good atmosphere

Went for Sunday lunch. Staff were lovely and attentive. Drinks were flowing. Food was incredible and the portions were huge. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon!

Excellent Sunday Lunch. We all had the trio of meats that came with 6 fabulous vegetables (including their amazing cauliflower cheese)and Yorkshire puddings. Excellent customer service, the staff are lovely and can't do enough for you. Our new favourite dining experience in Leeds.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch - great food & lovely staff.

THT used to be our regular after work drinks venue but it has gone completely downhill. It used to have a lovely warm welcoming feeling but now is cold and soulless. There's absolutely no atmosphere and not even any background music to take the edge off. The service wasn't great either. There were no menus to be seen so I can't comment on whether they still serve food and if so, what it's like however, I did ask for a bag of dry roasted peanuts and was told they only had one bag of salted peanuts in the pub. The beer selection is still good but when I asked what wine they had was told to just look at the shelf. Such a shame that this has happened to one of my former favourites, but I won't be returning.

Very quiet small pub, when for Sunday lunch, the food is lovely but quite expensive very quiet but lovely

Timothy Taylors flagship pub. Now brilliant after new landlord taken over. All beers are on. Getting busy again. Good atmosphere. Just as it used to be. Mild Mick.

Lovely bar, friendly staff and great food really enjoyed our time here.

Yorkshire pub in the middle of the city - Sunday roast was delicious and a great range of ales Staff were very welcoming ☺️ Will definitely return!

We visited on the first day of new licensees taking over and spent a leisurely lunch and afternoon with our old friends. A traditional old pub with a pleasant atmosphere, attentive staff and a good selection of beer. Lunch was delightful. A traditional pub food...

Fantastic range of keg and cask ales. Craft and trad. Many boxed ciders, if that's your bag (in box!). Bit rough round the edges, but I don't mind that.

Great place for a quiet pint and a nice conversation. Good selection of beers.

Had a pint of landlord, very nice.

didn't have any food but had a good chat with the blonde bar lady. (sorry, don't know her name). was a nice start to my Xmas shopping trip.

Had great expectations of this place due to the previous good reviews I read... food was very average beef chewy menu said pork came with crackling, but didn't get any and veg warm but not cooked...

Only called for a beer, it was good

I popped in for a drink. It was a Monday evening and very quiet. There were perhaps two or three other small groups in the place. You could hear yourself think. This is a traditional Yorkshire pub serving Timothy Taylor's beers. There is a good range of 5 or 6 of these: Landlord, Bolt Maker, a blonde beer a dark mild and a couple of others all on cask and although I can't vouch for all of them, the two I tried (Landlord and Bolt Maker) were very well kept. In addition there was a pump serving keg beers, at least one of which was a continental lager. The toilets were clean and there was a wide-door facility for wheelchair users. In days gone by I have eaten a very nice lunch in the place, but I didn't try food this time. I'd say this is a pub for the more mature drinker. It isn't trendy in any way and although there's music, it stays very much in the background so there's no need to shout. It's light and airy, but there are sufficient nooks and corners for those of a conspiratorial bent. In a word, nice.

Velice hezké a útulné místo, výborné pivo

So I’m a fan of Taylor’s beers. And this pub. Everytime Iv been anywhere in Yorkshire I come via Leeds on a train as it’s a cheeper ticket on the train and this pubs always been great. But it’s not great now. Food. Nothing vegan...

Called in for drinks with my son and husband who are Camra members. I'm sure it might be a thriving place but when we were in it at 5pm it was empty. Apparently the beer wasn't particularly nice either. It had a dull atmosphere and it had no character whatsoever as looks like it had been refurbished in a generic modern pub interior which can be found anywhere in the UK

absolutely gorgeous beer at it's best landlord food absolutely delicious service spot on very nice lunch

Excellent range of Timothy Taylor's ales. My go-to place when I'm in Leeds.

Very impressed. We all enjoyed our Sunday lunch. The beer Timothy Taylor’s. Was the best pint for a long time.

Had lunch here yesterday.... perfect away from crowds and fancy cocktail places... lovely food and great service....!

Something's gone wrong here! Beer was awful and so was the Guinness. Used to be a cracking pint! Shame.

I have not tried the food but the beer is decent, can't go wrong with Timmy T 👌🏻

I went on a Sunday for a dinner and it wasn't what I was expecting. It was brought out and and looked amazing if a little small. As me and my partner went to eat we realised how terrible it was. The meat was still pink-they hadn't asked how we wanted it and the roast potatoes tasted strange. The veg was a little to much Al dente. To top it off it was massively overpriced. I went back yesterday with my brother to have some special time which was ruined due to the draft beer being disgusting. The barmaid when I first went did tell me there were loads of complaints about the beer and gave me a tester first time which was OK but the next time I picked a different pint to my utter dismay. The biggest regret I have is not been able to give less than one star...

Tasty Sunday Lunch… we visited the THT yesterday for lunch, the first time under new management… we were unsure if the previous Sunday roast which was very much to our taste, would have changed much… however it was more or less the same and very good! We would have liked the vegetables to have been just a little less ‘al dente’ and there was no evidence of the fresh herbs that used to be added to the roast parsnips/potatoes which all add to the taste but plenty of gravy, delicious roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. The staff were also very friendly and helpful but please note their online booking system isn’t working again yet so you have to phone to book!

Menu good but bar man couldn't order it for us, went elsewhere.

Good pub, friendly regulars,good beer. Just closes far too early so loses a star!

Visited yesterday for the first time. We had overseas visitors who wanted to have British pub food. We were so impressed. The food was really very good. Portions are very generous. Fish and chips were lovely. The beef, ale and mushroom pie was incredible. The...

Full range of Timothy Taylor's beers served in excellent form.

Drink good. Atmosphere good. Service good. No beer garden. Definitely would return

Came here on a Sunday afternoon back in August 2019. A Timothy Taylor's pub, so that means weak watery beer. We had gin and tonics. Very good. Service was spot on. I read the food here is good but we were heading over to the Northern Monk so we decided to wait and eat there instead.

Very friendly, great food, good portions, you'll be stuffed.

Worst Sunday roast I've ever tasted and at £14.95 a head there are better places to go , I wouldn't go there again

Nice ambience and relaxed atmo. Hopical Storm had run-out and no (apparent) barristers

Great place for a pint, but slow food service.

A nice place but mostly Timoth Taylor ales which are not my favourite.

What has happened to this pub. Lovely staff. Food disgraceful. Was the best Sunday lunch pre lockdown now the worst. Food undercooked. Cold and the meat I would not feed to my dog. Dry fatty and £16 a head. Money hard earned. Don’t waste it...

Really friendly bar staff there. Couldn't do enough for us.

Very friendly service (despite being run off her feet!), and a nice pint.

Really friendly, helpful staff, great beers, excellent service and good food. Lovely to get Landlord Dark.

Good selection of Timothy Taylor beers. Friendly service!

Great traditional pub, very friendly staff and customers, fantastic atmosphere.

Food was mostly good - veggie burger bland, pork partly uncooked, roast good, fish & chips good) Service was good until we were kicked off of our table half an hour before the end of our booked time as they’d ‘taken a phone booking’. Staff didn’t deal with it well when one of the party was rightfully annoyed at the fact the new booking was more important than one they had for us. So unfortunately 1* for the terrible service & non-apology.

Great Sunday lunch, one of the best we've had, and plenty on the plate, too much to fit a dessert in, we were visiting Leeds for a shopping trip and decided to book online, we weren't disappointed, great service too, made us feel really welcome

Lovely pub and food normally top notch. However the sausage and mash had three sausages that had clearly dried out. Told staff 3 times, no offer of to change.

Yes its always lovely in there the staff was so nice can't wait to dine there

Not the place it was. F%^& the covid

Beer was spot on. Didn't eat but the Sunday lunch looked amazing. Would recomend this place on a Sunday afternoon for a quiet pint 👌

The food was excellent, the garlic mushrooms were magnificent, the service was very good and the beer was well kept and pulled and served very good also.

Ate at the Town Hall Tavern Sunday 30th January, outstandingly good lunchtime roast beef, top service, fine beers and wine, could not fault it in any way. An excellent city centre establishment.

Excellent food and staff. Will definitely be back. Thankyou

Excellent as always I had garlic mushrooms the quality on the dish was as good as any Michelin stared restaurant. Followed by bangers and mash. The sausages were excellent butchers sausages with a creamy mash.

Can't believe this place was empty, food is to die for, friendly staff, only a ten minute walk from where we were, worth coming from teesside for.

Good choice of beers cask ales and lagers friendly staff

In Leeds for a night away and decided to try this pub based on their online menu and thank goodness we did. I had the beef shin and mushroom pie and my husband had the burger with hand cut chips and onion rings. The food...

Good selection of real ale and very pleasant surroundings.
