Whitakers Arms in Leeds

had a meal on monday "gammon" cant prove it but i was so ill on tues i was in bed and the toilet for 3 days

Been before, and really good. It’s gone way down now, it wasn’t busy, ordered food and waited more than an hour, another couple walked out because the they didn’t get they food, and so did me and my daughter. Don’t take food orders if the kitchen is closed, I think it was shut because the chef was sat at the table on laptop with the other girl. The only one working was the young girl behind bar who was really nice and apologetic.Couldn’t tell what the food was like, got bored of waiting for over an hour for a simple fish and chipsPoor service,

Today (Saturday) we called in on the whitakers Arms for some pub grub. Started with extra cold pint of guiness before getting the menu from the bar. It's not a bad menu with prices to match, i had beef and ale pie with chunky chips and garden peas for roughly £11. The pie had nice chunks of beef and topped with puff pastry, would have liked a few more peas though ,but all in all very good.

Went here for a wake held in the function room.The room itself felt tired and dated, it felt unloved.The staff however were lovely and the food was pretty good, especially the chips. Though the pies should have been labelled as we had no idea what filling was in them and there were 3 to choose from.Good sized car parkVery conveniently placed pub for holding a wake, as it is directly opposite the cemetery.

Had my son's wake here in January, £8.95 a person paid for 35 people upfront and about enough food to feed 10-14 people. When another wake walked in we couldn't get served ,whereas they told me they opened just for us, no fire lit as requested. Changed management after I booked it, a couple of young people seem to be at the fore front.Complained that there wasn't enough food and got extra(undercooked) chips and cake. Absolutely disgusted that they take advantage of someone's bereavement. DO NOT USE.

Staff were nice pub seamed warm with friendly people

Absolutely fantastic food that's good quality and fresh. You won't go home hungry either! The pub was very clean and well kept with top service from the staff. Id highly reccomend a visit if you haven't before. I'll be returning again in future!

Friendly staff, food was fantastic. More pictures needed to provide evidence. I ate braised beef, was presented like restaurant style. For pudding had sticky toffee pudding, which I highly recommend.Shall return for defendant in the future

Well to say that a lot of time was had to stage a new opening to the masses so as far as I’m concerned all should have run like clockwork enticing customers to come back for great food and drink but;# To wait for over 20 minutes for a beer is shocking !# No menu presented ?# Waiter staff had no clue what they were doing !# Planning by management ?# Fish and chips ok, lacked taste/seasoning and a tad oily# The captive audience is here, please them !# Chairs lay broken to the floor, umbrellas lay upside or just collapsed and lay on the floor fir a tripping hazard# Hire runners to collect dirty plates and glasses-let waiters wait only# A nice fire pit or two to sit around would have been good !# A mobile bar outside would be good to reduce waiter runs and fill orders quicker# Serviettes?# Cutlery, sauces should be at the table before the foodWhat a million pound site that could make millions but lacks the mechanics to steer it in the right direction. What a waste of money for a poor 1st beer out !

Went here with family for Sunday dinner. Good food menu with plenty to choose from. Has children's menu for smaller portions. Beer was good. Food was excellent. Pool table and cosy real fire. Plenty of free parking. Staff are friendly and helpful.
