Bistro in Leeds

“Excellent service and food, good beer.. was passing through Howden looking for a place to late lunch (most places close between 2 & 5pm), found Bishops Bistro.. had camembert to start which was delicious and sticky salmon noodles for main, which were cooked to perfection. Blondie for dessert (white choc brownie) - again delicious and all made fresh in house. Would highly recommend, reasonably priced considering the quality of food.”

“We stayed at the hotel for a weekend break and tonight we had dinner here and the food was amazing , the staff were very attentive . Couldn't fault anything.”

“Pre Leeds Light Night three course menu plus cocktail. Every morsel of food on the plate was packed with flavour and each piece of the finest quality and presented like a portrait. The staff were friendly and professional and not rushed between courses. Thank you all”

“This is one of the best pubs/inns I’ve ever been to. I was staying at the adjoining campsite whilst riding for a national motorcycle charity and being bikers themselves, Rosie, John and family made our group feel extremely welcome which enabled us to celebrate the completion of our National relay ride. Our celebrations were accommodated to the highest level of hosting by Rosie and her team which just encourages us to keep returning year after year”

“Wonderfully welcoming pub with fantastic staff that truly went the extra mile. We visited here as a group of 8 for my mother in laws birthday and the staff were so great with the children and let us bring in our own birthday cake. No rushing us from our table when we finished, it was very relaxed. The food was also amazing, especially the steak pie that I had! We will definitely be back in the future.”

“I've never had Thai food or been to a Thai restaurant, so I was unsure what to expect. From the décor, the welcoming, the cleanliness of the restaurant, the choices on the menu, the service, the drunk and not forgetting the food - just phenomenal!! Patient while we chose our food. Food was served on piping hot plates. We asked for a certain side sauce to be made and they provided this with no disappointment. The wine was cold and crisp. The starter was enough to share. The dish was full of flavor, nothing was over fine and I really liked the fact the skin was left on the fish. All tasted so fresh! They were near closing time and they were kind enough to allow me to order dessert. All in all I would highly recommend here. Look forward to returning to try more if the menu. It's all we talked about after we left the restaurant, absolutely beautiful place, I would give more than 5* if I could”

“Absolutely fabulous food for the level of restaurant/takeaway. Hot fresh not oily great flavours. Perfect naan. Great value I was very impressed. Atmosphere a bit lacking, but if it's quiet you get attentive staff and attention to detail on the food.”

“I love this place. I have been here multiple times and every thing was on the high level. Food is delicious and always served on top level. Service is always nice and friendly specially Magda. She welcomed us with smile and nice chat. She took care of us all evening. Definitely will be back!”

“Great Indian restaurant! The food was great: very tasty and spicy and they also have kids meals so you can go with the family! Staff is very nice and helpful, they especially made a typical tea for me although it wasn’t on the menu. Deserts were pre-made and alright and I would have expected more traditional options. But still had a lovely evening!”

“One of the best experiences I have had in a long time .What a gem this place is its cozy the staff are extremely well coming friendly and helpful . The food was exceptional very well presented and delicious The reasonably priced cocktails were lovely too I will return very soon”

“The best in town. Quiet. Well run. Excellent freshly cooked traditional Italian food served efficiently and with first rate coffee. Staff really good. Great find.”

“Excellent pub with friendly staff and good beers.”

“Food is 10/10, absolutely loved the curries, the onion bajis were by far the best I’ve had! The mixed grilled starter hit the spot. Lovely atmosphere and the service was amazing. Staff were really friendly. Will be returning for sure.”

“First time at The Turnpike. Booked table for 4 on line. Great welcome on arrival. Fantastic food. We all had different dishes which were all fabulous - compliments to the chef. Extremely good Indian food which I would highly recommend. Great service, very clean, good value, good atmosphere and lovely helpful staff. We will definitely be going again! Best Indian food I have had in the area!”

“Loved it! We did not have a reservation, but luckily there was a table for us (8 pm Friday night). The service was good and they were very quick. The portions were very good and the food was lovely for a great price. We went with the dinner menu which is a very good deal. Would recommend!”

“Amazing food! Lovely atmosphere! Fair pricing and amazing deals!”

“Emma , Olivier, mo, grace and Emma again absolutely amazing service. We had an amazing brunch. Stunning drinks and fasr service. Food was beautiful. Thanks so much to the tavs group. Deffo recommend. Slayy”

“Absolutely blown away by the service! Our waitress, a vibrant redhead with the energy of a Broadway star, was nothing short of amazing. She zipped around the restaurant like lightning—every table checked on with perfect timing. But what really made the experience unforgettable? She sang her way through the day! Humming little tunes, belting out a few cheerful notes between tables—it was like being served by the lead in a musical. Her joy was infectious, and it lifted the whole atmosphere. You can tell she’s the owner as she was doing pretty much every job going! Five stars, easily. Can’t wait to come back!”

“We popped in to see their famed range of Timothy Taylor beers, and weren't disappointed. Beers in excellent condition and the landlord is friendly and passionate. Mrs Jones enjoyed her glass of wine too.”

“Popped here today for a few beers and a Roast beef Sunday lunch. The food was generous in size, really tasty, top notch food. Everything is locally sourced, service was excellent as was the beers.”

“Found this little gem of a place by default, a couple leaving said it was amazing food so we decided to nip in, and so very glad we did. We only had bar snacks (Yorkshire pudding with pulled beef and dirty fries). Both absolutely delicious, very good cask ales and nice selection of gins too, in a chilled, non pretentious atmosphere with friendly staff! We will be back!”

“Always makes you feel welcome. Such a lovely traditional pub with a generous portion of Sunday roast (2 for £26). Good coffee and a good selection of beer. It gets busy on Sunday afternoons, so the advice would be to book a table.”

“Popped in for a family meal on our son’s 16th and GCSE results day. The service and food were absolutely fantastic. Huge portions for the prices, definitely worth every penny.”

“Great local doing lovely food & a good selection of drinks. Loads of seating inside & out. Really friendly staff that can’t do enough for you.”

“Best Indian we have eaten, staff very at tentative the peswarni nan was best we have had in many years, loved it, lots of food large portions, fully enjoyed, will definitely be back, chefs biriani special, peswarni nan, pilau Afghanistan chicken was beautiful and tender, we're given the pickle tray, so tasty”

“Gluten free delight! This stylish pub has an extensive gluten menu that almost mirrors its non-allergy menu. Fantastic choice and a ‘dream come true’ for the gluten intolerant. 2 for 1 menu Monday to Friday 12-5pm, too. Lovely food and we’ll definitely return. (Photos: gyros was not gluten free; chicken burger with Korean spicing was gluten free).”

“Good deals on drink..not 2 noises..gets busy at times ...went in 2 days running”
