Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

I have visited the Wheatsheaf several times recently for lunch, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I would not normally take the time to review a restaurant/ pub, due to my own laziness. However, after reading the recent review in the Yorkshire Evening Post I felt compelled to do so. I can only imagine that the reviewer thought they were a Michelin Inspector, although the situation did not sound ideal, it does appear to me that it has been embellished for literary purposes. The food and service at this establishment have always been second to none and at an extremely reasonable price. All the reviews already placed on this site are testament to this. Shame on you Yorkshire Evening Post, surely a second visit (if they will have you) is in order to present a more accurate picture.

i have been going here since I was a little girl food is great an staff are fab

The Royal Eastern is the best and most authentic Chinese restaurant outside China!!! My husband and I have eaten here several times and each visit is an absolute treat. We are lovers of good food and wine and have travelled all over the world and eaten in some of the top Michelin starred restaurants... and we can honestly say that the cuisine on offer at the Royal Eastern is a good contender for any of them! The staff are very attentive and hospitable, and nothing is too much trouble for them. We feel very looked after by the managers/owners Matthew and Natasha and they will always come over to ask you if everything is ok with your meal. Martin the head waiter is a true gentleman and a credit to the restaurant, and Carina the singer has a beautiful soothing mellow voice to entertain you while you eat. They offer a selection of very tasty authentic dishes I haven't seen anywhere else, and will even make unusual dishes for you which aren't on the menu if you like to try new things. The quality of the ingredients they use is really fresh, and portions are always very generous - we alway have loads left over which they bag up for you to take home. I would especially recommend the Whole Sea Bass with Garlic, and the Szechuan Fillet Steak is to die for! Just thinking about the food at Royal Eastern is making my mouth water.... I can't recommend it highly enough! Brilliant :) Matthew the

I visited in December, 6 people and enjoyed it so much I have recommended that we take 12 people to eat on Wed. 9th Feb 11. Some of these people being visitors from Russia

I moved to the area recently and am not a big takeaway eater as I always think they are substandard, however yummy house proved me wrong my partner and I had the most amazing takeaway the other night, beautiful food that taste amazing and authentic , an efficient and friendly service also. I would recommend trying the duck And pancakes and special chow mein mmmmmmm just about to order again

The restaurant is really nice, small and cosy, with a very friendly staff. And when it comes to food...it's just great, probably the best Italian food you will find in Leeds! The pizzas are just like the ones that you can find in Italy and the desserts are also really really good. Above all that, I must say that the prices are fair and it's a good value and great quality.

Ur buffets r expensive 4 £10 pound u can get a starter maine dish and a drink .rip off!

This was our first visit to the veggie since the new owners took over,it has to be said we were somewhat reluctant.However we need not of worried,we arrived after a lengthy walk across ilkley moor & were welcomed in by Julie (the new owner) she was friendly & informative. After long look over the menu Julie helped us decide what to have, I choose the Veggie Mezze (large & plentiful) & my husband the Veggie Burger (much enjoyed) Both arrived promptly & were delicious & well presented. Afterwards we were unable to resist the temptation of the Guinness cake (amazing) & coffee. I must say we will certainly be visiting again soon. I feel sure Garry & Julie will do a marvellous job here.Good luck to you both.

What a brilliant inn. We came for lunch with our 91 year old mum and her 81 year old sister. It was mum's birthday.The landlady told us about the pensioner two course deal for £4.95 and we all had one. Excellent home made food at an amazing price. Mum even got a free dessert with a candle! The couple who run this inn are so friendly and welcoming and the pub itself is so characterful. Great choice of beers. We cannot fault this place and give it our wholehearted recommendation.

For my birthday in December my husband took me to Prashad as a surprise.... it was absolutely wonderful, food sublime service exceptional....a must

Just opened before Christmas, bring your own wine and beer, no corkage charged, great food, good attentive service and all round great value, can't recommend it more highly and will be back there very soon.

Aldo's Pizzeria in Cleckheaton is a little gem. When there you feel like you have been taken out of the UK and popped into a bit of Italy. The staff are friendly and will go out of their way to offer the best service possible. I have been going to this restaurant for years and have never had a negative experience. I have special dietary requirements due to allergies and Aldo's manage to make me feel safe and comfortable each time I go. Even the kitchen staff interact with the customers! Its lively with fun waiters/waitresses, great music - the atmosphere is so fresh, it would be hard to beat! I have never heard a bad word said about Aldo's - try it for yourself and you will keep going back! I recommend the Calzone Kiev (absolutely divine) however, there are many scrumptious choices on the menu. Pino (the owner) will greet you like an old friend! Excellent restaurant, it has put Cleckheaton on the map!

you can tell that the food is good fresh produce and value for your money

very friendly atmosphere, im going to try and book a table for 6 next Saturday evening, and check out the cuisine

Gigis is a fine local with friendly service -but the menu seems to have been stuck in a time warp and its like any Italian meal I could have had in 1984. My Saltimbocca was ok but did it really need a cream and mushroom sauce and microwaved cauliflower? A lot of curry houses have reinvented themselves and while they still do old school dishes there are newer modern interpretations. Pudsey would be poorer without Gigis but I think they need to try something different

absolutely abysmal food would never darken it,s doors again!!!!

this is a fantastic restaurant catering for everyone fantastic food fantastic service will be returning again very shortly

I won't gloss over the facts, I'll just give them to you straight! Booked a table for eight, including a toddler. The receptionist was cold, never greeted us and referred to our child as ''The Kid'' - such as.....Does the kid want a high chair etc. Not a good first impression. The high chair provided was dirty and caked in old food, this had to be wiped down by ourselves before it could be used. My husband asked if the onion soup was clear or thick...The answer from our server was that she didn't know, but it did have onions in it! The soft drinks were priced very high. A small glass of cola was £2.00 having ice a third of the glass! The food for our child was served on a plate so hot we had to put it onto side plates! Where's H&S here! I ordered a steak rare, it came very well done and was stuck to the plate along with the shriveled pea's(Obviously it had been placed under the lights to keep warm) I ordered a salad and got lettuce, half a tomato and two rings of onion..... The steak went back and was replaced with a steak that I couldn't eat as it had arteries running through it....It was supposed to be prime 'Rose Rump'....never the less our dog enjoyed it! The mash potatoes were disgusting, solid, cold and tasting powdery...they were left along with the hard pea's. We were never asked if we had found the service and food good, only the manager asked if my steak (Once it had been replaced) was cooked as I liked it, and it was except I couldn't eat it, if she had asked if it was to my satisfaction, I think booth barrels would have gone off! Seeing I asked for the steak to be put in to a doggy bag, should, I would have thought, prompted someone to ask why I had left it! I asked for a tia maria coffee and got an irish coffee and all the coffee's were cold. There were no condiments on the table, and I had to go and ask for some at the service area, then I saw into the kitchens and for legal reasons I shall ommit this information, save to say that we shall never, ever eat at this restaurant again. In all we spent over £170 on a meal not fit for purpose, it was a complete and utter unforgettable experience, and in our view there are more pleasant experiences to be had in Sheffield. Don't waste your money, nor time, unless, of course the service etc improves. NOT child friendly neither is it suitable for doing business/entertaining clients etc.
