    Hands down the best food I've had at a pub ever. Would pick this over many higher priced restaurants in Leeds. Had the barnsley chop lamb - best I've ever had.

    The food was absolutely out of this world! We visited for my wife’s birthday and from the moment we arrived, we were treated with genuine kindness and made to feel very welcome. A special shout-out to Jack, who took excellent care of us and helped make the occasion even more memorable. His friendly and attentive service really stood out. We had a lovely experience from start to finish and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for fantastic food and outstanding service. We’ll certainly be back! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
