Yorkshire Deli in Leeds

My husband and I visited the YD in Wakefield on Saturday morning for breakfast. Very cute surrounds. We were the only people in but this soon changed and the place was full by the time we left. My husband had a full English will poached eggs, all cooked perfectly, I have mushrooms, crispy bacon and beans on sourdough toast, delightful! Coffee was great as was the service, couldn’t fault a thing, will definitely return.

Didn’t actually eat as I sent my husband in first to check about allergies as it saves everyone time and they couldn’t give him a clear answer, just pointed to a case of cakes. Obviously didn’t feel safe to eat here.

Booked table for lunch, the menu pages online were not the same as what was handed to us at our table. The menus handed to us had the allergy / dietary codes at the bottom of the menu, we needed gluten free food, but only one dish amongst all the plates was labelled gluten free - a child's vegan pizza. Not much use for an adult who is not vegan. We asked staff what dishes were gluten free, checked and advised most pizzas and burgers... Except the pizzas aren't labelled gluten free on the menus in the cafe (we checked many times!) and no gluten free buns left for burgers! Need to relabel the menus you have in cafe so allergy / dietary information for each dish is clearly labelled. Plates collected and 15 mins later no one came to give bill or ask if any desserts wanted. Other customers were approaching staff to mention poor service or delays. We were seated upstairs, looks like a large stockroom, tables pushed together, opened large multipack of Guinness tins on a table, multiple sauce sachets waiting to be sorted, catering trays stacked in the floor. Tills weren't working, staff having to wonder about to find a working till, toilets had loose fittings. To be honest not a brilliant experience and wouldn't go back.

Visited the restaurant today to use a voucher gifted to me for my Birthday. Restaurant is clean and well presented and in a lovely shopping facility. Menu was plentiful and price not bad. The restaurant was almost empty, which was surprising considering it was a Saturday lunch time. Staff were friendly on arrival and we were given a choice where to sit. However that's where Staff experience ended. Our drinks order was taken but it took over 30 minutes for the drinks to actually arrive. Our food arrived and it was really amazing, however I asked for sauces and none ever arrived at the table, I was told packets of sauces were in a bowl on our table, however I did point out there were none there. Staff appeared to standing around alot in conversations with one another and avoiding customers attempts to get their attention. Our table was not cleared and no offer of dessert. After waiting we went to the counter to pay, which clearly displeased the server as she said it makes it harder to find our table? The food in this place is amazing however if this is the service with an almost empty restaurant I would not consider coming back during a busier period as feel we wouldn't get served at all! Such a shame the service let's this place down.

Enjoyed a lovely lunch with my sister. She had salad with halloumi and caesar dressing and she said it was delicious. I had the hot Reuben sandwich of pastrami pickle and mustard with coleslaw. We shared sweet potato fries. Would go again if in the area

Me and my partner had finished work early so we could spend a groupon voucher we had purchased at the Yorkshire deli, which we could only use Mon-Fri up until 6pm. We walked in approx 4.15 pm to be met with, and quite rudely, the staff informing us that due to the Place being quiet, that they would be closing early. The staff weren’t very apologetic about this and showed extremely poor customer service by telling us just to come back tomorrow. We had more help from the couple that were currently dining than from the people that get paid to ‘work’ there. We have had our voucher refunded and it’s safe to say we will not be spending any of our money at this establishment in the future.

They only opened a small area upstairs with the balcony doors open which made the area freezing lots of people got complaining and they just said that there was nothing they could do. We had afternoon tea for 2 which to my surprise did not include the tea . There was only 2 choices of sandwiches and they were the bap type these were ok but the sweet selection was horrible and we could not even eat it . The scones were like nothing I have had before, they were like garabaldi biscuits then we had some weird cone biscuits filled with Nutella and one piece of cake to share . This was the worse afternoon no tea I have ever had and will never return

We had booked a table was taken upstairs were we were told to sit at a table with complete strangers we said no could we sit elsewhere which they were fine about but they sat us next to bifolding doors and it was freezing the service was fast and efficient but the place itself had no atmosphere no heating on and the food was bland and cold we won't be back the wakefield deli is much nicer

Sadly I cannot leave a positive review here. We visited on Saturday last, prior to an appointment to choose wedding dresses with my Niece, and two other close relatives. We had booked a table and were shown to it promptly. However, after that it's fair to say it went downhill from there on in. Our table was directly behind bifold doors that led into the outside seating and the arcade. We were absolutely frozen, I fact the whole restaurant appeared to have no heating. Whilst appreciating the need for ventilation is paramount, customers do need to be warm!!! Our drinks took longer than acceptable to arrive, the glass of white ordered was warm, the gin weak and the glass of red tasted very odd. One party member asked for water three times, we didn't get any. Food wise the two pizzas were acceptable but overdone, and the two Reuben sandwiches very disappointing. Overdone bread and slaw that was very lacking. Such a shame. Sadly we won't return.

We really enjoyed our lunch today, hubby had the best burger and my sandwich was lovely. The lattes were hot and service great

If you haven’t been here already then you are TOTALLY missing out. What a brilliant Yorkshire Gem ☺️ My team and I booked our Christmas meal here, because we loved the look of the set menu and thought it was great value for money. 3 courses for under £25, whats not to love? Boy oh boy The Yorkshire Deli did not disappoint! The food was not only delicious but the portions were great - not to mention the attentive staff. Special shout-out to Raz for being so accommodating with menu choices and allergens. Also a major shout-out to Mobi, Raz, Louise, Archie and Gracie for making my team feel so welcome. Not forgetting the chefs who cooked us a mountain of scrumptious food! I can’t believe we ended up staying for 4 hours… This is a brilliant place for your daily pick me-ups, a catch-up with a friend or celebrating an occasion. I will 100% be coming back ❤️

Had a really nice coffee and great service from the staff. We sat upstairs which was very comfortable. The only negative is the toilets were a bit grotty and the seating areas weren't cleaned properly but other than that would highly recommend.

Amazing service from Rhi at the Yorkshkre deli in Leeds today, very politie server and very sociale- always happy to help and nothing seemed too much of a problem. Food was amazing, will most certainly be coming back!!

Ordered food and drink. Drinks arrived but no food. The same waitress came up to us after about 10 minutes and asked us if we were ordering food!! Eventually after about another 15-20 minutes the food arrived. By this time our pot of tea had gone cold. We asked the waitress if she she would warm the tea up and she charged us again. A truly awful and unpleasant experience. Would not Recommend to anyone.

Items on the menu not available- not a great start! Staff not knowing what tables ordered what. Wine glass filthy! No glass offered for beer asked twice!! We await the food with baited breath but this is shocking considering our first visit earlier this year was amazing. We won’t be returning.

If we could , we will not give a 1 Worse service ever! Noone welcome us, noone look after us. Asking 100s time the same question and have no answer ? What is going on in this place? Horrible expiriance with horrible food. No way...

Visited with 2 friends. Food was lovely but the service poor and against other bottomless brunches in Leeds this would my worst experience and I wouldn’t recommend. The rules were strange you all had to finish your drink before the next one was brought to...

If I could give this 0 stars then I would have. It started off by the manager ringing my friend to state that their brunch hours were 3:30-5 and that our brunch that we had booked through their website was at 5pm, as it was...

Popped in for a late breakfast at 10am, service was a bit slow but friendly enough. We had toast with toppings which were very delicious (an extra piece of toast would be welcome) so overall pretty good

Had a voucher for Yorkshire Deli Leeds (assume they need the customers if offering vouchers) valid til 6pm. Made our way there on a specific occasion visiting Leeds, arrived just before 6pm, would have actually been there sooner but it’s difficult to find - we’d...

Food was good , service really lacked hugely! I don’t think they could organise a certain time of event in a brewery! However the chef, made a lovely sandwich! Also please lose the John Lewis mixing bowls that they use as mugs! Can we have...

Had a bottomless brunch and the food and drinks was lovely but the service was awful, one girl with blonde hair was extremely rude and the service was terrible. She argued with us and wouldn’t bring our drinks

we have been 3 times now, each time hoping for an improvement that never came. The first time - 3 Saturdays ago, it was quite an enjoyable lunch experience with all the food as expected. Went back on the Sunday for breakfast. I had fried...

For £10.95 for the burger and chips it needs to be a lot better, the chips were ok and the place is nice inside but the burger was pretty bad hopefully the other food on the menu is better.

Had breakfast here on Saturday; Americano coffees and a croiffin which is a combination of a croissant and a muffin. Very dense but nice. Husband had eggy bread and extra bacon; a very large portion of bread, and 2 rashers of bacon were £1.50 extra....

Despite the website saying they opened until 7pm we booked a table on BH Monday for 5 pm to then have a call that lunchtime advising that unless we wanted to cancel we had to be there for 4pm. We had the 1 metre pizza...

Came in for Lunch but decided not to eat as the place was filthy One of the staff was lovely but the other obviously didn’t want to be there The pepper dispenser was just disgusting The glass bannisters and the glass balcony was just disgusting...

4 of us called in Saturday lunchtime and I think we just made it as they got full. We sat downstairs but there was an upstairs which looked full. There is a seating area outside and this was full too. 3 of us had a...

I arrived and was seated on the upstairs balcony which was nice to people watch. I ordered coffee and also Lasagne/chips. My order arrived and it looked a little well done. I found the lasagne too hard on top to even cut though with my...

We stopped here today for a coffee and a cake. To start with the waitress had no idea what cakes were on offer and gave us the wrong information. When the cakes arrived, they certainly weren’t fresh but just about edible. When visiting upstairs to...

Beef burger, chicken burger and Camembert toastie……..how can somewhere get these so wrong? Can’t remember the last time I was served inedible food.

We were served quickly and the tea pots were a surprise straight away as they were cast iron and looked great. Then the tea cups, which i thought at first were bowls as they were that big. The tea pot kept the tea lovely and...

We booked for lunch at midday on a Saturday. When we arrived the waiting staff immediately didn't seem to know what was going on and appeared confused when I said I'd booked a table. The other member of the party arrived a few minutes later...

Terrible!!!!! To start with they gave us the breakfast menu at 12pm they stop serving breakfast at 11.30am. 2 coffees took 30 mins to arrive and we had to prompt the waitress for them. We sat for another 45 mins without being asked if we...

The staff were courteous and friendly. The food was very good and presented well. Jack was welcoming and on hand in the background. A further visit will be planned.

Greatly enjoyed the Croque Madame and coffee this morning. The service was great, Jack I think. Have been before and it’s always been absolutely lovely. Very nice table on the balcony upstairs

Absolutely diabolical service. Waited a while for someone to take our order. Then served coffees but waited and waited for food. When eventually caught the attention of one member off staff we were advised someone else had been given our food and we'd have to...

Delicious - We had the wagu burger and bratwurst with cabbage at their pop up. Really friendly and doing their very best. Would recommend.

We left. After being asked to sit up stairs we were asked where we’d like to sit. We asked if we could sit on the balcony. The lady said she needed to clean it so would we wait at another table. After about 10 mins...

The worst host experience ever! Was shown a table upstairs and asked to sit at another table whilst they cleaned our table. Waited for over 15 minutes no drinks or order taken. Then other couple are shown to our table and served. We left could...

Have been several times now and service is poor. Have given them a few chances to get it right. One occasion ordered a ham and cheese toastie ... forgot the cheese. Slow service. Food not delivered with cakes. Regularly forget sugar and milk with coffee....

First visit, lovely area, bright and spacious. Went with Hubbie and 4yr old grandson. Got a table which was good, menus given out, had to ask for a children’s menu, very uninspiring. Picnic box ordered for GS, burger for Hubbie, Reuben for me. Waited ages...

My wife and I went here on Saturday to give it a try as we had not seen it before. The place is large and spacious with tables looking out onto John Lewis. I ordered a pizza with pepperoni and onion. The pizza base was...

Beautiful breakfast had smashed avocado and smoked salmon on sourdough. Big portions and tasted lush. Can highly recommend

Had a lovely lunch sat in the sun, pizza was amazing just like the fat sandwich. Will be back soon for more!

The place is very clean, the service was efficient and the food was amazing. I had the Ruben Sandwich which was class. Good portion sizes and tasted fantastic. Will be going again.

Confusion with the order taken led to all the food coming out at once. This could have been a problem but was sorted out immediately by the very efficient manager on duty. The food was excellent. Would definitely go back again.

Had a salmon bagel and hot chicken sandwich. Both were enjoyable. The bread on the hot chicken sandwich was especially nice. Our service was friendly. A bit confused. We were told there were no bagels so would have to be on ciabatta. Fine. Then a...

Positives: Decor of the restaurant is excellent. The place is very clean and is situated within Victoria Gate which is a magnificent location. Cons: The food was stale and bland and had to be sent back. I'm no food critic but it the food was...

Absolutely fantastic service from the very friendly staff, great food and drinks in a lovely setting. Definitely my new haunt in Leeds. Highly recommend!

We booked a table for five at 11am and was shown to our table by a very friendly young lady. The breakfast menu had lots of choice including vegan options, drinks were offered (with an option of milk alternatives) immediately which is always a blessing,...

We had coffee, tea and shared a cake (lime pistachio and coconut) - delicious. Coffee wasn't to our liking - more like a filter coffee than an Americano. Tea was nicely presented in an iron tea-pot although the teacup was rather ornate and oversize. Good...
