  “Has your soul been crushed by the inscrutable burden of the anthropocene? Do you wake up on Sundays with an impending sense of doom, unable to fathom facing another week of meaningless drudgery, yet know you must persevere in the Kafkaesque charade called existence, if for no reason other than indifference to the perpetual roundabout of time? Are you chronically insatiable? If so, you are in luck! By virtue of the benevolent fairies that guide my thumbs, I have stumbled upon England's one-and-only life changing lamb. These meats are not to be overlooked. Just today, my weary soul was graciously plied by a delightful barmaiden named Hanna, who insisted upon a treatment regimen of Roast Rump of Lamb with Thyme-Roasted Potatoes. Finally, the apocryphal sermons of my youth have found mouth-watering actualization by virtue of Mikey's tender loins and a ramekin of mint sauce. No longer will the cabbages of nihilism haunt my dreams! For I have been lifted like the rising pudding of Yorkshire, rescued at sea by the sterling gravy-boay of Providence. If you are a relatively well-adjusted person, this food is not for you. Rather, if you are like me, and seeking salvation in unlikely places, I implore you, for the love of all things holy: do not miss this life changing lamb!”

  “A traditional pub with a relaxed and laid back vibe. It’s like stepping back into history. The food is of good quality.”

  “The experience was ok. We arrived with a party of 11 to three separate tables, as if we would want to sit separately? The food was okay, the service was okay - it was all overall okay. It would’ve been nice to have one long table instead of us conjoining two tables. There was no one else in the room we were sat in, the drinks and food took a while.”

  “Food was gorgeous and arrived promptly. We would argue it was good value for what we got, although we didn't buy alcohol with our meal! Food was cooked well and seasoned well. Service charge was added automatically, which was our minor issue. Once our food was served, we did not see another staff member until we left and paid our bill at the bar after waiting for a while for a return waiter.”

  “Jules and Mikey were totally and utterly brilliant. Amazing food, excellent service! We had a lovely Sunday Lunch here today, from the moment we stepped in and shown to our table, we knew that everyone here was focused on ensuring a friendly and a warm welcoming experience. Jules was excellent, always ensuing that we had enough drinks and that our food was also up to standard, safe to say, food was excellent and service simply brilliant. The ambience in this heritage pub was great as was the selection of beers and ales. Totally recommend this, especially as this was a recommendation from a friend too.”

  “Just had the most horrible experience tbh. Went for a pre xmas roast with 4 old uni friends - we’re all in our 30s/mixed gender, so definitely weren’t rowdy. The restaurant was quite empty, but the ambiance was cute! But then towards the end of the meal one of the staff came over and told us to be quiet, because we were talking too loudly, and that they were trying to do “a quiet, cozy sunday vibe”. Which I would completely get if we were shouting or singing etc - but it was a group of 5 in our 30s at 5pm! We’d had two drinks, it was just that everyone else in there was in couples. Even the couple next to us was like “did you guys just get told off?! that’s mad!”. If the restaurant didn’t want groups of over 2 or 3 in, I wish they hadn’t let us book, rather than making things weird and awkward and us having to leave early because we felt too awkward to talk.”

  “Really great pub in Leeds. A bit of a walk from the city center to cross the river but worth it. Super rustic, cozy pub with several rooms to choose from. Impressive cask options and the usual draft choices. The food stands out here. Really diverse and high quality menu. I couldn’t decide so I ordered a trio of bar snacks. All were top notch, fresh and delicious, and came with great sauces. Although super quiet on late March afternoon on a Monday, would still recommend a visit any time!”
