Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Had a really lovely Meal at the Magpie service was excellent and staff friendly certainly go back.

Staff very friendly food very good would recommend

Loved the food, great sushi, friendly service and all at a great price. What is there not to like!!!

Highly recommend! Place looks great, staff are friendly and helpful and the food was amazing! We had the sharing meat platter and it was awesome! We were going to order starters too but the waiter said not too bother as the meat platter is a big meal, he was right and I really appreciated his honesty and not just wanting extra money in the till. Will definitely be back again at some point

Brilliant food (the fishpie was amazing) and the staff are so lovely ! Will definitely be coming back and recommending it.

Beautiful meal. Morning ch better being able to book so no queueing on the stairs.

We recently visited the new premises on Newland Avenue after having enjoyed many excellent meals at the former premises on Anlaby Road. We expected it to be very good but it exceeded our already high expectations. The new premises have been very tastefully assembled. The restaurant is light and airy and exudes a very relaxed vibe. We went on a Tuesday evening and the place was buzzing, not totally full but with plenty of people in to create a very nice atmosphere. The staff never stopped all the time we were there, back and forth to the kitchen and bar and the service was excellent. As we have come to expect the choice of meals was excellent as was the food in terms of preparation, presentation, quantity and quality. We couldn’t fault it , easily 5 star. Keep up the great quality and service guys. You will certainly be seeing us again.

We highly recommend this pub to dine at, we used to be regulars here a few years ago and it has changed hands a few times and we were unhappy with the place and the food. However we tried it again a few weeks back and were pleasantly surprised, the new management are really good. Food is delicious and staff friendly and helpful . The manager remembered us and was very solicitous with me especially as I am disabled and unsteady on my feet , she couldn’t do enough for me

The dining experience at the Magpie is excellent because not only is the food, service and atmosphere is consistently good it is also a restaurant that you can eat and never be short of menu options because they offer a wide array of choices all exceptionally well cooked. We have visited the Magpie many times and always been delighted with every aspect.

Have been going to the Magpie for over 25 years and this last experience was not one of the best. Service was slow. Ordered bread and butter which finally came (after having to ask again) when we had almost finished our meal. Haddock is normally lovely but this piece was lacking in meat and the batter was not the usual light crisp texture. Skate also was not the usual white flesh but grey. Scampi starter is normally nice large langoustine/prawn these had shrunk in size and the breadcrumb coating not as light. I appreciate covid is having an impact but kitchen needs to up its game or we will not be back

In the years that I have been visiting the food is always nicely presented and looks delicious! I love the special lunch menu which is full of choice and you get a full meal - no half portions here. The evening menu has an amazing array of choice, the food tastes delicious, fresh and the portions are generous. Plenty of choice for vegetarians and vegans too. Love the décor and the restaurant is always clean and tidy. The staff are friendly and have managed their additional Covid precautions with kindness, politeness and efficiency. Looking forward to my next visit...

My daughter an I went yesterday and I remembered to book a table as its so popular! I've been before and it never disappoints! The food is beautifully cooked and presented, the best seafood for hundreds of miles! I wish this size would let me put on pics but sadly it doesn't. Anyway don't hesitate book and go! You won't regret it!

Excellent as usual! The new premises on Newland Avenue is a lot more open, airy and inviting than Anlaby Road with plenty of places nearby to park. Despite the restaurant being very busy with several large groups we received our meal in excellent time. The food was piping hot and absolutely delicious! The only slight complaint I'd have is that the bar staff was unable to make a cocktail - I'd suggest if the advertised cocktails cannot be made that the menu is turned around or removed from view.

Visited 20 July. 3 of us had standard fish, chips mushy peas and tea. Absolutely gorgeous.
