Railway Arms - Leeds

Absolutely amazing meal for my father in laws 90th birthday. Food was amazing, staff were fantastic and went above and beyond . Definitely going back soon

It was a wet, miserable Saturday afternoon when we visited to have dinner with family. It had been recommended so our expectations were high and we were not disappointed. The large and varied menu offered enough choice to suit a wide range of palates. The portions too were very generous. You won 't leave here hungry! 'Homemade ' is a phrase that features a lot in this menu and here it reflects in the well cooked tasty fare that appears on the plate. A companion had the Yorkshire pudding starter, the size of a plate, which came with lashings of gravy. It looked so good I ordered a small one as a side for my own main meal. I had potato skins as a starter topped with bacon and cheese. More like a full small baked potato that skins. But good none the less. I was a little wary but tried the deep fried battered black pudding one of our party ordered and surprising this was very good. Our other two companions had been here before and sensibly saved themselves for the main courses. Two of us had Suet lamb pudding. A large portions packed with tasty chunks of lamb. You had the choice of chips or mash with these. I chose the chips (homemade and scrumptious). We asked for extra gravy and it came in little jugs. The whole was served with a range of vegetables that were well cooked and presented. Two of our other companions had the strips of beef in a peppercorn sauce. The meat was declared to be soft and tasty. The sauce has a little more to it that the average peppercorn sauce that comes as a side with a steak which was a positive addition to this dish. You get a choice of carbs too one chose rice the other half and half (Rice and Chips) The other party member had a Yorkshire Pudding wrap. There 's a choice of roast meats to wrap the pudding around our diner chose beef. Again these come with a choice of sides. They both looked and were pronounced very good. Three of us went for a crème Brule for dessert, one for ice cream and the other stated they were too full. the ice-cream was pretty average and I think the Crème Brule although tasty would have been better served in a smaller deeper dish. The only issue I would have is the £2 charge for a small bread roll and butter. We didn 't have any but if it stands up to the quality of the rest of the food served, who knows maybe they are value for money. I would definitely recommend for a wholesome, unpretentious family meal out.

Was very disappointed that the railway wouldn 't take my booking for my husbands birthday we had 9 adults and 2 children wanting to celebrate his birthday and they said they would not take a booking for more than 6 inclusive of children? Not even 2 tables of 5 and a high chair??? I asked if this was Company policy and he advised that it wasn 't fair on the kitchen staff as there was 2 menus on a Sunday??? As a ex licensee I would have been very happy with a booking for well over £100 especially after Covid. Well we have got somewhere else to celebrate that will accommodate all my family together .

Very disappointed after been here on three previous occasions. My partners food the nachos were all burnt round the edges they replaced it no problem. I had the surf and turf tried to cut the steak with a normal knife as the waiter never bothered to introduce a steak knife the chips were not good the gardens peas were microwaved.it’s a Shame because we liked it here maybe they have changed the chef.but we will not be back for food

What a fantastic place! Went with family for lunch. No table booked but they squeezed us in. It was busy and this was a Monday! All the mains homemade. My girlfriend had what she said was the best sea food pie in her life. I had the steak pie with homemade chips. They do giant Yorkshire puddings as big as a plate! I honestly could have eaten everything in the menu. Friendly staff and quick service. Highly recommended.
