About The Cooking Pot

The Cooking Pot, a family-run café in Leeds, runs its own delivery from Throstle Lane, taking orders by phone and sending them out with in-house drivers towards Beeston and Broadway. Delivery is arranged by phone rather than through an online app, and payment is cash only, with no card option, so anyone eating off site should plan for that. Breakfast sandwiches, made on bread cakes, are a regular order. The counter works on a walk-in basis rather than bookings, and the doors open daily through the daytime. Outdoor seating gives customers the choice of eating outside, and high chairs make the room workable for families with young children. The café has changed hands to new owners.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return most for the breakfast, with the signature breakfast described as hearty and beautifully presented, and breakfast sarnies called the best by a longtime delivery customer. A bacon order made with no fat and well done arrived exactly as asked. Close behind are a chicken curry and a burger enjoyed by a parent and son, and a sandwich on bread cakes that a visitor devoured before taking photos. The coffee is described as rich and flavourful, and the café is called a family-run place with a friendly welcome. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and lovely, and several mention feeling at home. Delivery is a recurring thread: one regular says the team is always happy to deliver to nearby streets, and another wishes there were a card payment option. The one serious complaint comes from a delivery customer who reports a trip of well over an hour for under half a mile, with food arriving cold, and who was told every other order had to be done first because the address was far out. That reviewer paid anyway out of sympathy for the driver.
