Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

This is the second time I've been and the food is amazing!! Excellent food. Excellent value staff are lovely will definitely be back again!!

Had a lovely meal with friends on Wednesday. Can recommend the smoked mackerel pate, the chicken ballotine, and the fish cakes. The meat dishes - lamb or beef are simply done but well cooked . Everything is nicely presented. My third visit in recent weeks and the food has been great on each occasion. Great to see the pub so well supported mid-week.

I’ve been here a couple of times the food is amazing and the service is great. If you want great sushi and authentic Japanese food this is the place to be!!

Great cookery - very well balanced dishes and they were delicious - top marks there. Few small suggestions - offer a drink at the bar rather than walking guests straight to table - and be a bit more attentive if a guest chooses to sit in a seat where you haven’t placed the cutlery. I wish this place all the best because the cookery is sublime. If you live near Horsforth - visit and support!

Recently visited for a family birthday meal as this is always my favourite go-to restaurant when in Whitby. As always, it never disappoints. Fantastic choice of dishes to suit most tastes with a great value two or three course winter menu. All of our food was cooked to perfection and although we were a large family group, everything was served on time with no hassle by Magpie’s lovely, friendly staff. Their long-standing reputation for quality and service is undeniably deserved.

Even though we booked a table for 5 people when we arrived we were squashed onto a table for 4. The food was ok but not the usual standard, portions seemed smaller, the onions in the mussel licker were still raw and the cheese sauce on the fish was tasteless. This used to be a real treat for our family but I don’t think we would rush back.

This is a gem of a small restaurant that deserves to be patronised more. The food is absolutely delicious! Easy parking on the streets around about or it's walking distance for anyone in Meanwood, Headingley or Weetwood. Highly recommended.

We’ve been visiting The Magpie since our honeymoon in October 1990 and have never been disappointed. Last night was no exception. The food was as good as ever and the staff were as friendly and helpful as always.

Amazing food . Excellent service and great value for money . Highly recommended and would visit again

Lovely food, fresh and tasty and friendly efficient service. We'll definitely be back.

Best fish and chips we have had. Service was quick and friendly would definitely recommend

First visit but will be back. Service was a bit slow despite it not seeming too busy. That said when we got our food it was very good. My wife had pan fried trut and I had chicken ballotine. We followed with an affogato and a sticky toffee cheesecake. Was all very good with friendly staff.

Went for a meal here, whilst on holiday. The service was excellent as was the food we had the set banquet very good value couldn’t eat it all. The food was hot and very good quality well presented. We would recommend a visit here for a meal and if we return to York we would visit the restaurant again.

Lovely birthday meal with friends. Food as always excellent. Friendly service with a smile including a little birthday cake. Nothing was too much. Great atmosphere. Very clean.

We had a gorgeous meal here on sunday. Food was outstanding and service was great. We will be back!

Having read the favourable review in the Yorkshire Post regarding the Aegeans's move to new location and the quality of the food etc we thought it an ideal place to meet with friends. However, we made the mistake of booking online so were unaware that a large party were booked in just before us, consequently service was grossly affected and the noise of chatter and music made our conversation difficult. We had a lengthy wait for our order even to be taken - compounded by the fact that we were not told from the start that the Meze was off the menu, and due to our wait we had to ask for bread and olives rather than they be offered to us which would have been courteous. The meat platter when it came was delicious and we all enjoyed it. We will return but will book by phone and check for the presence of large parties!

Meal was delicious and service was top class

We are so lucky to live within walking distance of The Crown. The food is always good and the specials are varied, different and very enjoyable. The atmosphere in The Crown gets better every time we visit and the service is great. If you have to wait a little longer than you might expect- don't complain it's a sign of how popular this pub has become and it's always worth it-and it gives you the opportunity to try out the new wine list! We have taken several of our friends there and they always are happy to return.
