  “We got some drinks and the Spanish sharing board - really good! Quick service and friendly staff. Outdoor setting is in a good busy location to watch everyone go by if you like people watching.”

  “We went into leeds for a date, hopping around wine bars, and our last stop was friends of ham. We met a wonderful server, who spent some time in Canada, who looked after us exceptionally. After a couple of glasses she came to us (after ordering two more drinks) and recognised we were more than “merry” and recommended we go onto softs. Even being VERY drunk we massively appreciated her care and acknowledgement of the situation. She is a very commendable and attentive server! Just wished we catched her name to applaud her on said service!”

  “One of the best bars in Leeds! Great selection of excellent beers and wines. Lovely cosy atmosphere and always busy. Staff are great and you're always looked after. Don't eat here very often but when I have its excellent! 👌”

  “We love it here, such friendly and welcoming staff, huge variety of beers and wines, and great snack/sharing food too! Only minor negative is the road works still going on on the street which detract slightly from the atmosphere, but this is no fault of FOH themselves!”

  “Visited a couple of times previously and it's 2 minutes from the train station. Every time I passed it was full so thought I'd try this trip We were seated and we chose a window view as lots of people pass from the railway station. We ordered the Spanish Charcuterie and a couple of extra meat and cheese items. Also the sausage roll, which was excellent. The food was amazing and the wine was probably the best of the trip for us. We ordered so much food we were moved to a table for 6 near the window 😂. The staff couldn't do enough for us and the atmosphere was great. At the end we asked if staff wanted to sit with us next time we travel to Leeds.”

  “Cute eatery with kind staff. It was quite a busy night but the staff tried to accommodate and fit us in after a short wait. There were very good selections of non alcoholic beers here as well as standard beer and wine selections. There were a few interesting options on the menu and we went for pork on polenta, pork pasta, winter salad as well as a few sidey dishes. The winter salad was great and had a good balance of flavours and unique taste. We loved the concept of all other items but felt the execution could have been better - all items felt a little over salted (except for the pasta which hardly had no seasoning) so was quite hard to finish the dishes. The place is quite noisy and is definitely not speak easy downstairs.”

  “Such a lovely place in the city centre and so close to the train station. The menu has a great variety and is perfect for sharing. The nduja toast and meatballs were perfectly cooked and went down a treat. I'd reccomend the mushroom pasta as well, really fresh and filling. One thing that stood out was the great service! Will definitely be back. For the city centre and the quality of the food the prices are really reasonable!”

  “Enjoyed lovely wine, ham and small plates at this place. Good value for the quality. We called in on a Saturday evening without a reservation, we were greeted as arrived and asked if wanted to wait at the bar, we were only a few minutes waiting before a table was available.”

  “Was down in Leeds for work and was recommended this place and WOW! Everything about it was spot on. Great and friendly staff; food that was sensational and a brilliant selection of drinks that you can't get in many other places. Only place outside of Scotland I've seen the Vault City Iron Brew (otherwise known as the greatest drink ever created). Can't wait for my next trip to Leeds to return and for now my wallet can breathe as the worry about how much I'd spend if this was in Glasgow is real.”

  “OK. I am writing this as I sit here. Firstly, it’s utterly superb. I was a walk in single diner on a Friday evening (working in Leeds Fri/Sat). It’s a cool, chic, friendly, laid back, fizzing atmosphere. I had a nice single table in the window. I let the waiters recommend wines - and they nailed it. Trust the chap with the beard - he knows what he’s taking about!! White, Red, Red. To eat I had the meatballs and the potatoes - again, waiters recommendation - sounds like the most boring dinner on the planet? Wrong, completely wrong. It was (to quote my teenage son) bang’in! Absolutely delicious - I would eat it again now. And I have only just finished it. Followed it up with a hard cheese, biscuits and a (boring but delicious) Malbec. OK. It’s not cheap. Dinner for 1 at £60 but it’s blooming good…..genuinely….really that good. Well done the Friends of Ham.Just to reiterate….it’s utterly superb.”
