About Stick or Twist

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often point to quick, friendly service. Several call the servers lovely, and one describes a server's patience with a deaf child on a packed Saturday. Food and drinks are repeatedly called cheap, and the dishes named include the Loaded Spud, a Chicken and Bacon Ciabatta with chips, a BBQ stack, the steak and the boneless basket. Close behind are the cocktails and a Korean dish. One reviewer found the Korean dish bland with rice and thought a Christmas plate of four pigs in blankets over chips was overpriced. The sharpest criticism is aimed at management. One reviewer describes a manageress with a bad attitude on mornings, and another says the general manager answered handed-in lost keys with a curse. That same reviewer reports a strong smell of urine and faeces inside. Others describe the pub as spacious and clean, with plenty of seating and ordering at the bar or by app. One diner values the free refills on hot drinks, and another notes a man walking the terrace asking people to buy cigarettes.

    “Monday lunchtime with my wife after a walk round Leeds. Opted for The Loaded Spud with a glass of Shiraz for her, a Chicken and Bacon Ciabatta with chips and a Guinness 0%, which came in at a pocket friendly sub £17 between us. Service and clearance was fast, efficient and friendly, so will definitely come back for lunch again. Only niggle sitting outside (which is no reflection on the venue themselves) was a man constantly walking around the terrace area wanting people to buy cigarettes, which is slightly off putting when you're trying to eat.”

    “Spacious yet cosy. Choice of beverages including hot 💧 water for your tea. Alcoholic drinks 🍸 also available. The Leeds arena is in spitting distance while just across are the numerous shops which form part of the city centre. Wetherspoons Stick or Twist is large and comfortable making pram or wheelchair ♿️ access possible. It is also clean. The universities are within reach while the commercial or financial sector is close by. Do visit.”

    “I recently revisited this renowned restaurant (with a group from specialist autism services leeds) after an enjoyable experience at the hole in wand - leeds, And I must say, service at the stunning stick or twist, is as great as ever, the food (this time a BBQ stack) and drink (the usual diet coke/pepsi) tasty & refreshing as ever from my previous occasional revisits to the significantly uplifting stick or twist restaurant which I myself rate as tip-top 10 out of 10, in-fact... 30 out of 30. I'd look forward to revisiting yet dine out at the place once again, even to try out different bites to eat & refreshing soft drinks that I myself also forever recommend.”

    “Been in a few times on a morning and got served by the manageress, she has a really bad attitude and obviously brings her problems to work and takes it out on the customers. Not a very nice person at all. The rest of the staff are lovely although I certainly wont be going in there again.”
