Pub in Pudsey

“Highly recommend. I went to the Calverley Arms to treat my Grandparents for a Christmassy meal and it was amazing. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxing and the staff were beyond helpful and lovely. We ordered from the festive menu, we had the Sea bass, the chicken/pancetta/leak pie and a steak, with salted caramel profiteroles and sticky toffee pudding for dessert, it was all incredible. The chefs Danny and Amber cooked everything to perfection. All of the staff were lovely, but our servers Louise and Ellie were so friendly and were more than accommodating with slight changes to the food to suit my grandparents. Can’t recommend enough and will definitely go back.”

“What a cracking pub with a bus service to Leeds (and Dewsbury) outside! Warm friendly welcome and quality ale make this place a worthy entry into the 2024 Good Beer Guide. 3 regular cask ales plus 1 guest.”

“Tucked away in Sunny Bank Mills this pizza is heavenly. Din lighting supported by the natural light from the large old windows adds to the atmosphere, with the music volume perfectly sitting behind the background chatter. I had the garlic mushroom sauce wow, rich and creamy with a variety of mushrooms on a perfect garlic bread. The pizza was fantastic, wonderfully balanced sauce and tasty ingredients. Staff were cool and friendly, chill but attentive, and very welcoming. Loved it!!!!”

“Absolutely fantastic, I was heading somewhere else, but called in this place for a menu as I like pizzas , well !!! I've never had such a welcoming, such a happy chappy that made me feel at home straight away , he soon explained everything to me about the pizzas the showed me to the SPECIALS board , the food and the host was perfect so he convinced me to stay , and I must say I was very glad I did , without this young man at the front of this shop I would of left , all I can say he's a real credit to who ever owns this business, this chap called josh will go extremely far in the hospitality world ,, thank you”

“Great pub nice people and a good atmosphere”

“High quality traditional Sunday lunch. The meal was superb, the team (staff, managers and owners) are relaxed and welcoming and the drinks excellent. The music and atmosphere was great as always. Over many years we have always relied on The Royal for a lovely relaxed place whether it's for a drink, food or their events throughout the year Long may it continue Also posted same review on TripAdvisor”

“Love this little boozer. Food is fab and dogs are welcome. A great community feel with loads of events organised to fundraise”

“Great atmosphere and great music and great owners not many great pubs left but if you want a good night out with good music in pudsey then this is the place to go”

“Such a fantastic local pub. Proper ales, great gins, bar snacks. The staff are very friendly and the aesthetic is just right. There is always something going on sports, quizzes, bands. A great asset to the community”

“What a well run restaurant. The food is delicious and fresh and the service means you never have an empty glass. Well with a visit.”

“Absolutely delicious food and cosy atmosphere!! I've eaten here about 5-6 times over the past 2 years and each and every time the food has been faultless. People who know me know I wouldn't say that if I didn't mean it. I went last night as I heard they'd had a menu change and it did not disappoint. We had the Peppered Chicken and Chicken Parmesan, both served with an abundance of yummy side dishes (fries, roast new potatoes, dressed salad and seasonal vegetables). The warm cookie dessert is amazing. I could eat it just on its own with a lovely coffee (which they also do) i.e without the sauce or ice cream. It's everything you want in a cookie. Crunchy on the outside and gooey in the middle. They've had all their chairs reupholstered recently so it's looking a lot smarter than before making the vibe extra cosy. If you're planning a visit, make sure you book not to be disappointed as it does get very busy for food. Great selection of drinks too. 10/10”

“Staff were very welcoming and friendly, couldn’t do enough for us Food came quickly and everyone enjoyed! Great atmosphere with large beer gardens, highly recommend!”

“TV sports. Two real ales. Three quid a pint. Suits me fine”

“This is a great little pub, but unfortunately there is no hand pulled beer here. No food is served here. The staff are very friendly. Great night out at the weekend. A new 'turn' every Saturday night. I attended a birthday party have recently and it also makes a great venue for small to medium sized groups.”

“My first time trying the Bankhouse since it reopened! Beautiful views, really fresh food and lovely drinks + friendly people behind the bar and out n about in the restaurant/beer garden. This is probably one of the best beer gardens in the Pudsey area - the sounds of birds are so enjoyable as you look out onto the valley. For a non alcoholic summer drink I recommend the blackberry spritz - very sweet and refreshing without being too tangy. The club sandwich was DIVINE and the chefs hadn't scrimped on fillings. The meat was trusting and the salad leaves, cucumber and peppers were fresh and crunchy. The chips were the same vibe too! The portion size was nice and filling after a walk. It has always been a perfect location for a post stroll bite to eat but very enjoyable. You can expect to pay around £12.95 for dishes like sandwiches but the other pub classics are a bit more, you're looking at around 17/18 quid :)”

“Classic English pub. Very friendly staff, who can pull a good Guinness. Pub quiz on Wednesday, and they serve free food during. Lovely place.”

“It was Friday teatime and the pub was packed. The customers were really nice and healpful to us, being strangers. They had two real ales on, both of which were spot on. We could happily stayed for a session but had a booking elsewhere.”

“Absolutely fab! Great staff, great atmosphere and fab drinks menu...you'll have to go in about 2 and fall weeks due to refurbishment and from what's been said, the pub will be totally upgraded and made even better! Me and Zoe looking forward to going back in again. I would highly recommend this pub to everyone who' loveca great atmosphere and ambience!!”

“The Jug is an excellent pub with friendly staff and friendly customers :). There's always entertainment going on weather it be live bands/singers or sports on the tvs. I would highly recommend the Jug and barrel to all types of people and family's x”

“Held a 13th birthday party at the con club. Room is a good size. Sophie was so helpful, answering all the questions I had promptly. On the night Lydia was working the bar and couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you for letting us hold our party there. In my daughters words, she had ‘the best night EVER’”

“Went for a christening brunch. The staff are so friendly. It has a beer garden and pool and darts.”

“The old crown pub is my favourite pub in Leeds, Saturdays nights with music and karaoke are a amazing, great atmosphere, friendly staff and cannot recommend a place more.”

“Called in today. Was very quiet. Ordered our food. Admittedly we did wait a lot longer than expected but the food that came from the kitchen was beautiful. Definitely worth the wait and 10/10 to the girl that served us. Will definitely recommend”

“Absolutely fantastic place to have some fabulous food. Staff are amazing, polite deliver great service too. Food is extremely tasty. Atmosphere is just perfect. We had a birthday celebration and left with one very very happy girl and guests.”

“Great local pub friendly staff great range of beers, lagers, wines and spirits. Very clean and tidy inside with a beer /smoking area at the back. The local people are very friendly and like a chat with people from outside of the area. I felt very at ease and comfortable. It's a must try pub.”

“Great trendy spot in the middle of Farsley. Live music. Saw great local band No Big Deal here, definitely be back for them!”

“Well what can I say about this establishment... Since its been taken over and refurbished and clean... It's a lovely pub very welcoming, the staff couldn't do more to help you if you have any enquiries about anything, the prices are very very reasonable. They have some good entertainment on for the night times and go above and behind to put on charity events in the aid of MIND for mental health! Absolutely love this pub best one in pudsey in my eyes!!!”

“My wife and teenage daughters were based in Pudsey for 3 weeks as we were visiting from Australia to see family. We absolutely loved Spoons and the entire staff and community that frequented there. We were “frequent” visitors for meals and quiet late night drinks.The staff are 5 star. Thanks for a wonderful venue.”

“Awesome venue and friendly staff !”
