The best restaurants serving British food in Kirkstall Leeds Yorkshire and The Humber

This has been my local for years. It was superb before Covid and I was a regular. After Covid, it's dropped in quality a bit. The beer is still good (Kirkstall Brewery), but some (not all!) staff are very rude -- something that never happened pre-Covid. Once a person carded me very rudely -- even others at the bar noticed. Just a few weeks ago, a very nasty staff member chastised my exhausted husband for sleeping. I understand that pubs have a no-sleep rule -- for good reason -- and we are fine with being told that. But this staff member did it very rudely "we don't have benches in here" and threatened to ban us for life. When we asked if the ban applied to only my husband or the whole friend group, the staff member replied with something like, "I'm not the police". My husband wrote to the pub with details of the incident and they replied asking for more info, which he gave. I don't know what has happened next, but we have decided not to go back there -- facing the unpleasantness from some staff members is not for us. It's very sad as we used to be regulars and have memories there, and post-Covid still looked on it as a place to relax, but that staff member was so extraordinarily unpleasant that we cannot return.

Dropped in today whilst out for a walk, terrible experience. Walked in and placed and order for food and drinks, immediately got snapped at that short staffed to day so we would have to ‘make do’ with what we were given! Really!!! It is 2022, not 1922! Interestingly the ‘make do’ food and drink was charged at full price!

Tried this place while passing with my family. Food was delicious we ordered fish and chips gammon and 2 childrens meals. staff were very helpful with my elderly gran. If their was six stars id give them that.
