About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Innovative

A proper pub on the outskirts of the city centre. Oysters shucked and served from the bar alongside, stout, cask ales, beers and wine. They also make an exceptional martini. Food is centered round an old fireplace where local quality produce is cooked over fire. From the team that own The Empire Cafe.

Incredible food, if you don’t like rare meat (or are pregnant) ask for it to be cooked a little more. Personally I loved it how it comes - the gratin is enough for 2… treat yourself to a scotch egg! Unreal! Really nothing I can fault, if your coming with someone older let them know though as some of the seating is high I’d say 20% or so. I only say this so people aren’t disappointed if they go and it’s too busy to get a seat that suits them. A mix of clientele but really nice and felt welcoming, our server was great! Didn’t catch her name but had a fantastic hats on and a great personality. They do oysters which I really wanted to try but my sister would have walked out if I ordered it to the table, I’ll be back for some though!

Enjoyed the food, thought the burger was slightly overpriced for the size especially when you add chips it's over £20 for a relatively small burger. Ham was excellent and the sausage roll. Prawns were £11 and we got 6 prawns which we wouldn't get again. We had a desert, it was £10 and it was lovely but incredibly small, again overpriced for the portion, should be £8 max. Drinks were nice but £6.50 for a Guinness when you pay £7 at an airport or in London is really steep for a pub in Leeds. Shame the drinks are so expensive or we'd come in for drinks more often. We know the cost of everything is going up but it needs to be comparable to other places and worth it for what you get. It is £85 for a meal for two and one or two pints. Service was good and everyone was very friendly. The bill was wrong as we'd paid for drinks at the bar while waiting for the table and then these drinks were on the bill as well, little bit strange but it got sorted. I really want to love love this place as I was so hopeful but it fell slightly short of my expectations.

Came after work for a couple of drinks and some steak and oysters, both were fantastic, small plates seem to also go down well here similar in style to the Empire. Quite busy but just how a pub should be, plenty of charm and character. Highly recommended
