Unicorn Inn in Leeds

Full of drunks , nasty ATMOSPHERE SOON AS YOU WALK IN ...IVE REPORTED THEM FOR THE UNDER COOKED FOOD ..DISGUSTING

Good quality beer and great local entertainment.

Very nice food and for children bouncy castle and have a drink

Had a fantastic meal, Tuesday night promotion 50% off which was a bonus! Had sausage and mash followed by crème brûlée both were great! Can’t wait to try their Sunday lunch. New chef has made such a difference!

I am a bit biased by going here for over 41 years and not been let down yet. Has a lovely atmosphere. Now a sports bar with tv's visible throughout the 4 rooms. Car park to rear of building for warmer weather with a beer garden and children's play area. Good range of beers, spirits, wines and cocktails.

got my boney ahh bungus backshotted in the toilets of this place… got my spine in agony for DAYS…

Great food, lovely place very welcoming

Real family feel to the place and one of the friendliest and most supportive open mic nights I’ve attended in, well, forever… it’s rare that I miss one these days and I definitely head down when I can - I love that it’s also child and dog friendly - come down on a Wednesday and see some of the amazing local talent on offer - the guy running will even play for you (if he knows the song!)

Great pub ,excellent staff, range of real ales kept to perfection, quality food , there was a DJ running a Karokie he was brilliant, got the customers up and at it made for a great evening Highly recommend this gem of a pub.

Nice village pub....3 years ago! Now a youth club & creche!

Manager of her face on sniff, her friend throws glass at wall and thinks she immune from been barred, whiles manager quits and hand key over but changes her mind after she realises she is a idiot and she can’t pay her bills

Great food great value great atmosphere 👍

Absolutely fine without anything being outstanding.

Absolutely lovely home cooked food

Always a good atmosphere, a lovely beer garden for families, and good, homely and honest homecooked food, as opposed to the usual big franchise affairs serving frozen food. Worth a visit.

Friendly staff and great food and reasonably priced

Basic food but very friendly and nice beer (if not run out)

Great food served by friendly staff in a lovely little pub with a great atmosphere. The staff certainly aim to please.

Waiting for metal took an hour 😔 event was bot busy.

A lovely, dog friendly pub and really nice staff 🐶 We have eaten here a few times, good hearty meals at a reasonable price. Highly recommend, this is now our local.

The Unicorn is a small but very well organised bar. I felt thoroughly welcomed there and the open mic night was excellent.I have thoroughly enjoyed my nights out at the unicorn.There is a varied menu and a good selection of drinks .

Nice pint of carling,while watching the football,and top food

Visited the unicorn for a meal before going to an event at the local club, from the moment we walked in we were greeted by a lovely smile from the manager, even though there were a lot of TV screens they weren't overwhelming or intrusive, the food and service were second to none, all the staff were very friendly and helpful, would definitely recommend a visit.

Great place for food and a great pint

It was lovely friendly staff ,warm weather and cold drink

Need to think about the residents who are unfortunate enough to live nearby. I'm all for people making a go of a business but not at the expense of everyone else. Maybe think about enlarging the car park to prevent people from parking on the pavement by the road outside. Its an accident waiting to happen. Also, music ongoing until very late at night. Selfish.

Came today 31/7/22 for a family get together. The man serving us was so very attentive (I’m so sorry I didn’t ask his name!) We we’re initially sat outside as the weather was really good. He even brought out a bowl of water and a treat for Buddy - our dog!! Unfortunately, we were plagued by wasps outside! This is no reflection on The Unicorn but it made it difficult to enjoy being outside as the wasps would crawl into our drinks or fly around us 🤦🏻‍♀️. Eventually we gave in and went inside to enjoy our absolutely amazing food!!! We cannot fault it at all!! We all loved it! So, I have absolutely nothing negative to say about the venue, the staff or the food! All were fantastic! However, as a suggestion I would recommend looking into a way to reduce the annoyance of the wasps. Such a fab day today!!! Thank you!!!!

Been for drinks and enjoyed the atmosphere. Food looks gorgeous. Thats next..........

Had the spicey chicken wings , the wings were huge and good value , the staff were brilliant and could not do enough for you. This is a local pub for me and I will be returning.

Decent beer peroni on draft , good family atmosphere and good service 👍

Nice owner and staff, very polite, approachable and helpful. Decent ales on pump. Owner even asked for my input on the next beer to put on sale on the pump.

We often visit the Unicorn for tea and drinks. Such a great place to eat, lovely play area outside for children. The menu is varied and the food always tastes great, not to mention the range of drinks on offer. What's not to love

Gone down hill since they opened, went 2wks ago for Sunday lunch, meat undercooked, I dish of veg for 2 people, 1 dish of cauliflower cheese, had to ask for more roast potatoes as only 3 small ones on plate,which were nearly cold,

2nd visit, very impressed with the 1st vist really disappointed with 2nd ,scampi very poor 3/4 hour wait for poor food,scalded with microwave peas .

Went to the unicorn last night for the first time in at least 5 years. Expecting great things from a change of ownership. It definitely looked different inside. Big improvement. Most of the staff seemed very young. Nothing wrong with that but the place seemed to be lacking any sort of atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be winging it. Ordered some food. My boyfriend distinctly asked for no coleslaw with my burger as I’m allergic to raw carrot. My meal did however arrive with coleslaw which was luckily in a small pot and a very small portion which I gave to my boyfriend. The Smokey Joe burger was nice actually although the pulled pork on it was dried out and chewy. The twice cooked chips were yummy. Would definitely eat there again though. My boyfriend was happy that Timothy Taylor’s landlord beer was being served as he is partial to real cask ale. After his second pint he went to order another one. Only to be told that they had unfortunately run out. What?!! On a Friday evening? He was offered white rat which is not at all the same as landlord. We ended up ordering a bottle of Sauvignon blanc which was mediocre but I have tasted worse. Another man in the pub asked before he left if there would be any landlord beer on for the football match today. Apparently the ‘manager’ I presume said he didn’t know and that it only takes 6-8 hours for beer to settle these days anyway. Which if you’re a proper landlord you know is bull. From doing beer festivals even I know that’s rubbish. Then when talking to the young staff behind the bar he was heard to say” I don’t know anything about cask ale!” Great! He wasn’t discreet at all. Was giving the staff a pep talk at the bar about how people need to know this is now a food pub as well as a drinking pub. Understand this is necessary but may be not in front of customers. Having said all this, it wouldn’t stop me going again. May be just my first impression. Think a friendly, may be older landlord or lady may be good to have behind the bar. Someone that knows banter and how to run a pub properly.

Absolutely appalling food, seemed like everything was warmed up, we had Sunday dinner, the vegetable were raw, mash potato were microwave mash and maybe a spoonful served, Yorkshire puddings had been warmed up and was like plastic, it was appalling for the price, the portion size for the price was ridiculous. There was 3 of us and none of us enjoyed it here. Used to be a lovely restaurant before they had changed owners over. Customer service by the girls were unacceptable, there was a nice lad who served us. He was polite. The cutlery came out wet and with no napkins, when asked for napkins they looked like they had been screwed up. Was really unhappy with our visit. It’s like day light robbery

Sunday lunch much enjoyed service very good. Nice, friendly place.

Not one member of staff wearing a mask,patrons coming from outside to use toilets from play area no masks .. New customer entering no masks no challenging no screens at bar serving customers taking orders at the bar . Server keeps checking her phone which she kept down back of her pants .! Food was fantastic tho

After some confusion for Father's Day Booking they managed to fit us in and was delicious Roast Beef.

Good service friendly staff good food.

Staff looked like they did not want to be there all stood round the bar eating bowls of chips when customers were waiting to be served.not one of them had face coverings on either.cannot pay with cash card only and wanted us all to pay on one tab because it seemed he didnt want to have to go to the bar more than once. It is such a shame as this used to be a cracking pub before the change.we will not be returning.

Miserable staff, card and app payment only. Staff just hung around bar with no mask. Couldnt chew steak. The homemade chips were nice tho. Wont be going again.

Great little pub with lovely food, good play area for kids, great service and great music will definitely returning.

Thought we'd struck lucky finding one of the few places that serve food after 6 on a sunday but when we got there were told we had to use a qr code to order food, asked if I could just order over the bar but apparently it was easy, it wasn't. Should have taken me to the website but nothing happened, I asked if I should just go on the website but was assured I should use the qr code. It didn't work, we decided not to bother and the staff didn't appear too bothered by this and didn't offer any alternative. Not really surprised there was no one else eating in there. It looked nice and clean inside and they had a nice little play area for kids but for us it was a wasted journey.

This was my first time on these premises. Times have changed since Covid19 had such an impact on our daily lives. The service was prompt and efficient and the beer was good. Orders were placed using a QR code on the table. Sitting right next to the bar helped with the speed of service! The only thing that I would add is the ability to pay via PayPal would be much more advantageous.

Staff really look after all your needs

The app worked great. The staff were quick to respond. The owner and manager were on hand. Gazebo was well equipped and the entertainment was really good. Overall a good night.

Excellent outdoor meal with wonderful friendly service. I had the Unicorn burger with crunchy onion rings, steak strips, peppercorn sauce and homemade chips. The pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord went down a treat.

Food was lovely & friendly helpful staff

First time out in over a year. Called before no booking required, first come first serve. So we walked up from home at the chance we would be seated. Then we was. Met friends unplanned but kept to our social distancing and less than 6. Food was on the menu we ate already. Then we was watching the food come out we had to order. We ordered the ufc southern fried chicken burger. Best ever 8.95 was full chicken fillet with the best batter ever huge shared between two. Homage chips to go amazing staff we used to come each week just for drinks prior lock down but will be old and grey when this pub becomes our last now thank you keep going all. Amazing honestly you have made all of us and more happy and feel normal. So thank you!!

Sunday take out roast absolutely fantastic two adults meals feed us and 2 small kids. Plus no washing up 😀 Definitely be back great food great value

Nice place to visit COVID safe. Chicken was a bit dry on our visit. But still i happens once in a blue moon

Great value home cooked meals and friendly staff. Definitely recommend. Rhubarb Crumble was one of the best Ive ever had!

We visited the Unicorn this afternoon as a half term treat for my kids and the service was great and the burgers absolutely amazing. Would definitely recommend a visit!

Amazing food, friendly staff and did everything they could to be covid safe. Would highly recommend.

We visit so many places up and down the country. Checking into hotels, Eating in and ordering out, they all get a review and this one is no different other than it's a big negative from us. Due to the covid situation everywhere is now taking bookings and we booked a table online Friday daytime, me, my partner and we decided to take along the dog. The pub was supposed to be dog friendly however we mentioned it on the booking just incase, booking accepted. We decided we would make a night of it and decided to check into the Ramada hotel at the new Skelton Lake Services just a few miles away from the Unicorn. Later that evening we made our way to the Unicorn for our meal, we had saved ourselves all afternoon for this feast.. When we arrived we both commented how nice and cosy it looked from the outside and as we made our way towards the door we read the sign outside about the covid rules. Looking inside we could see that staff were stood near the bar area so I moved into the doorway to make ourselves known before entering, thinking we had been seen we took a step back and awaited them, they never came so after a few minutes we made our way in. Immediately a member off staff approached us kind of looking strange at our dog and to why we was in the pub, I explained we had a booking and she again looked at the dog, looked us up and down and said "Sorry no dogs" I mentioned that we had had booked and noted it on the form that the dog was coming along and no one had got back to us during the afternoon / evening to say it was a problem, besides your a dog friendly pub.. Not giving much explanation the lady said it was the local licensing authority who had told them due to covid they couldnt allow in dogs and risked losing the licence if they did... we could always sit outside in the dark and rain if we wanted to eat!! Erm no thanks.. My partner then asked if the same applied to all the other local pubs and she wasnt sure. (Note) At this point I thought if they had been told no to dogs by the licensing authority then why didnt she know if other local pubs had been told the same, is it one rule for one and different for another) We walked away from that place to our car in the rain, hungry and embarrassed because we noticed other people had started to look as if there was a problem. We sat in the car for nearly an hour trying to book somewhere else which unfortunately at that time of night was impossible, so we ended up going back to the services, buying some food and eating in our room.. We couldnt believe it and its niggled us all weekend so Monday I decided to phone the local licensing authority and question this so called ban on dogs in pubs. It doesnt exist and they havent been advised they can not have dogs in the pub, that was a total lie to deny us access, probably because of the dog or we didnt fit in. Sorry Unicorn on this occasion you left us hungry, out of pocket and ruined our weekend, we wont be returning to sample the food without the dog and if people are thinking of going here with a dog, it's clearly not dog friendly unless your face fits.. 😠🖕

Nice food, but disappointed the price for the Yorkshire Wrap was incorrectly noted on the menu you download as well as the website. When challenged over this after we received the bill, the staff produced a menu that had a handwritten new price and didn’t offer to change the price. Doesn’t make sense the price of the wrap is the same as a full Sunday roast.

Amazing food an staff cant do enough for you. We will be back.

Great food great people .lovely and helpful staff.would recommend

Nice village pub. Food was really good. TVs outside to watch the football in the sun which we enjoyed and also a bar outside.

Lovely food and brilliant with kids

Just been to the unicorn and can honestly say had yet another lovely meal in there . Lovely atmosphere staff all fab and can't do enough for you. So lucky to have this n are door step 😁

Amazing! Unimaginably tasty food, kudos to the chef. Well priced and super friendly. It will be my favourite from now on. Try the unicorn burger, recommended

Lovely place . Food was excellent we had prawn cocktails and the beef and gammon really good price . Will definitely go back a must try

Visited under the extended eat out scheme. Happy with the distanced tables and clean pub. The food was back to high standards with a new kitchen team. Lovely rib eye cooked to perfection with a fabulous real mushroom sauce. My wife had an impressive Unicorn burger which was also excellent.The menu has been revamped and the prices are reasonable and portions good. I hope this stays consistent as some people are quick to point out when it’s not. The young service team we’re looking after the customers well and the atmosphere was good. No complaints here.

Bar staff nice. A menu of not much choice apart from burgers, maybe a result of Covid. My burger was a bit dry. The Covid precautions that were in place were very good. I felt safe.

Visited the unicorn last night for food and drinks with a friend.Lovely refurbishment, food was very good, service was excellent, good prices, would go back again and would recommend a visit here.

The Caffreys beer was cloudy so we asked for another, the barrell was changed but then we were forgotten about. The drink was eventually offered along with the bill but we were leaving! The staff did apologise and it was taken off the bill but considering it wasnt busy we were quite disappointed. The beef baguette was not on a baguette and although it was nice on the menu it said came with salad it did not. Not good enough in our opinion.

Staff very polite and pleasant, pub clean and very nicely refurbished, felt safe re covid precautions and food arrived in the correct amount of time. Main courses were delicious but very disappointed with the desserts, jam roly poly with minimal jam, at least this was edible though because the rhubarb crumble had a topping like uncooked pastry and rhubarb so green it had no flavour and it hadn't been sweetened enough. Didn't eat it. No tea/coffees on the menu, odd for an eating establishment. Would definitely return but wouldn't touch the puddings.

Lovely pub, friendly and helpful management and bar staff. I didnt eat but the food being served looked delicious!

We went on the eat out to help out scheme. So not sure if this is why the portions were so small?! I would have not been happy paying full price for what we got tonight. We’ve all come away still hungry. The girl who served us was lovely and it’s a nice local pub but we wouldn’t rush back for food as it wasn’t anything to remember!

Visited 27/08/2020 after a recommendation from a friend. My missis had chicken Caesar salad, the chicken was burnt to a crisp and the croutons were fried bread pieces, disgusting, The staff were very nice and welcoming and very polite and nothing was too much trouble, the food was very bad and we will not be returning.

super clean, polite and friendly staff and the food was amazing. i honestly cannot recommend the unicorn enough. its a must try.

Good freshly cooked food and friendly service. Handy parking either behind pub or opposite.

Had the Unicorn burger and it was excellent. I've never tried Unicorn before but I would highly recommend it 😀 Will definitely return and have the steak next visit as the steak strips on the burger were excellent. Thanks to all the staff.

Arrived after pre-booking online. No record of booking and member of staff stroppy and unapologetic.....was abit weird really. Would say it was due to re-opening after COVID lockdown but staff like this before. Some hospitality training needed I think. Really a shame as a local place I'd like to support. Not sure how many chances to give though!

Our first time back since the lockdown. New options on the menu, with something for everyone. Very good meal and value for money.

First time visit and was very impressed. We like to eat out and love good food- so glad we’ve found a local pub serving quality homemade food. Sunday lunch was cooked perfectly and very tasty. House wine was a good choice and reasonably priced. Staff attentive and friendly..... looking forward to our next visit already!

Food was good, service was a bit slow as they struggled to cope with new social distancing rules and swathes of people not following them. I'd go back, just not on a Friday or Saturday night given the current situation.

Nice food .. just waited an age for the food to arrive

Staff very aware of social distancing policy Helpful, informative and extremely welcoming Highly recommend a visit

Great staff, great atmosphere. Good value

Great quality food. Piping hot generous portions. Very impressive service. Well done to all involved.

Just had some excellent gourmet burgers from the takeout service.Perfectly cooked and with a generous portion of real chips. Looking forward to visiting when they reopen after lockdown.

One of our fave places. Used the takeaway on a couple of occasions in lockdown and always great quality. Tried the Sunday dinner yesterday and we were not disappointed! Just beautiful. Great value and delicious.

Prior to the current situation we had eaten and enjoyed a number of meals at The Unicorn. But today was our first time trying their new take out menu. We both had the gammon Sunday lunch and opted for it to be delivered. It arrived on time (we booked the day before) was piping hot and the portion size was very generous. Highly recommended.

Felt warm and welcoming and the food was gorgeous.

Melt in the mouth steak & cheese panini

Went to the unicorn for Sunday lunch with my family.I have 2 young boys, so eating out is always stressful!The staff were welcoming and very accommodating, helping with high chairs etc.The food was lovely! Great portion sizes, compliments to the chef! Would definitely recommend going, I know I’ll be returning!

Beautiful Sunday we had ,lovely clean place and service would definitely recommend will be most definitely be going back

We came on Saturday night and had a few drinks great host by the bar managers. We decided to eat and what an little gem food was very good. Better than expected. In fact it was that good we returned today for sunday lunch which was equally as delicious! Thanks unicorn see you next week.

We use to come all the time. Not anymore customer service was shocking food was freezing and the host said he wouldnt try get use more food as it's not any better.He was more bothered about his friends who were on the table next to us.

Sunday lunch Awfull thin slices of meat more like sandwich meat than roast, veg hard and cold, small portions for the price 😑

Wasn't impressed with Sunday lunch at all the meat was very thin and more like sandwich meat than roast, the veg was hard and luke warm also small plateful for the price.

Absolutely fantastic first time going was recommended by a lot of friends... Food was absolutely gorgeous cooked how we wanted it.. beer was lovely a really good pint. Staff were amazing couldn't do enough to help said they were short staffed in kitchen but personally thought everything came out on time and cooked well... Thanks guys for a Lovely night 👍

New look,new menu great service at the table all very different to what we are used to however the food was as delicious as always

Recently went to this superb pub for my sons 18th Birthday lunch with family . Fantastic place , food was absolutely lovely , great choice on the menu and all meals were thoroughly enjoyed. Staff amazing so friendly, made my sons birthday really special, couldn’t do enough for us. Would highly recommend to anyone , we certainly will be visiting again in the near future. Well done to all at the Unicorn xxx

We called in for lunch the other Saturday, we have not been in since re vamp.On entering had a lovely friendly greeting, it looked really nice inside We had a quite a wait for our meal, the barmaid did come over and explain the reason why, once our food arrived was very well presented and really enjoyed it, We will go back as good value also

Very friendly and beautiful food. We will be returning :)

Really nice place to grab a bite to eat. Friendly staff and nice light pleasant place. Quite a varied menu with plenty of choice. Shame pies were not ready, so we opted for the chicken kebab skewers. They were delicious, so tender, flavour was amazing and it was piping hot. Worth a visit, as price is very competitive. Many thanks to staff and chef.
