Customer Review Summary
The full English draws repeat praise, with one diner completing the "Mega breakfast" challenge and another trying it for the first time on a nearby shop worker's recommendation. Reviewers consistently highlight the friendly, welcoming staff and the river view overlooking the Leeds bridge. One notes a wait during a busy Sunday visit, though service still held up. Portions are called generous for the price.
