My mum and I had lunch here last Friday. Absolutely gorgeous food. We both had a sandwich (mature cheddar and apple chutney in ciabatta bread) which was served with salad leaves and homemade coleslaw. We shared a portion of skin on chips. Thank goodness we shared the fries. The portions are more than generous. Very nice venue, lovely helpful staff and great food reasonably priced. Can’t ask for more. Thank you.

Some of the tastiest food I have had in Leeds. Great flavour and good portion sizes, will definitely be returning. Nice pint of Cobra to go with the meal as well.

We had a lovely meal at Sambucas last night, food was delicious & atmosphere great.

Made a last minute booking online for myself, husband and 11 year old son for Saturday evening. The food was absolutely to die for! Lovely staff, attentive. The prices were fantastic value, atmosphere and decor fab. Will definitely be returning.

Food was incredible but I had no idea a lovely tapas bar would turn into a really busy going ‘out out’ bar by 7. So wasn’t the kind of restaurant I was really after.

We can always be certain of great food, great choices, and great service in a well established, local family restaurant. A thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Brilliant meal. Great value, good portions. Sunday lunch is a must.

Outstanding food as always, the Sunday lunch is just perfect, plenty of everything and great value for money. Service is always great made to feel welcome and never a long wait. Good atmosphere plenty of other families in there

Great pub, good beer and food .

I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful Sunday roast at The Craven Arms, and I must say it was an absolute treat. The experience was made even more enjoyable as we sat outside in their picturesque beer garden, basking in the warm sunshine. Now, let's talk about the star of the show—the lamb shoulder. It was cooked to perfection, boasting succulent and tender meat that practically melted in my mouth. The flavors were rich and robust, with just the right amount of seasoning to enhance the natural taste of the lamb. Accompanied by a medley of perfectly roasted vegetables, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, and a generous helping of velvety gravy, it was truly a feast fit for a king. The attentive and friendly staff at The Craven Arms added to the overall wonderful experience. They were quick to assist, ensuring that our dining experience was top-notch. The ambience of the beer garden was idyllic, with lush greenery, comfortable seating, and an atmosphere that exuded relaxation and contentment. To top it all off, the pub offered an impressive selection of beverages to complement our meal. From crisp and refreshing local ales to a variety of wines, there was something to suit every taste. In summary, my experience at The Craven Arms was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of the sun-drenched beer garden, mouthwatering lamb shoulder, impeccable service, and a wide range of drink choices created an unforgettable Sunday roast experience. Whether you're a local or just passing through, make sure to treat yourself to this culinary delight. You won't be disappointed!

First time in the place, all was fine. Beer choice good and IPA that I opted was all i could hope for. Burger choice was good and defo only one chips needed for 2 people. We will be back and staff told us there is secure push bike parking.

Lovely delicious food and lovely staff

Absolutely excellent food. We had dinner and breakfast during a one-night stay. The halloumi salad and lamb hot pot were outstanding for dinner, and the salmon and eggs were perfect for breakfast. The Craven Arms served some of the best food we have had in our two-month tour of England and Wales.

We enjoyed a delightful afternoon tea, sat in the lovely dining area overlooking the gardens. Tea was served promptly by our friendly and helpful waitress. All in all a faultless service. The food was delicious, would definitely recommend.
