Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Visted Thursday 4th February, early evening. This has to be my favourite restaurant at the moment. We have stayed at Rudding Park quite a lot and always enjoyed the lovely breakfasts there, but did not start using The Clocktower on an evening for some strange reason at first....silly us! This place is one of the best restaurants ever. The standard of everything is exceptionally high, and at a very affordable price. We chose to select our wonderful food from the local produce menu. Price at time of typing is three wonderful courses for £20.10. Bargain! We had drinks and nibbles in the lovely large bar area, then we were led through to the sort of table we prefer to sit at, when you can be next to each other, not opposite each other. We were then given bread with both oil and butter, both sorts of bread were lovely and i am sure will be home baked. My starter was a crab and sea food sort of thing, it was lovely and fresh and as ever presented in a great way. Husbands starter was a game terrine with fruit bread, he loved it. Mains were a great big pork chop with crackling with various vegetables to compliment it. I had the chicken served on a bed of mash and red cabbage. Both were cooked perfectly and yet again presented in a lovely but not over the top way that some restaurants do. Desserts, oh wow just so good. Rhubarb crumble with creme anglaise (custard!) Cant remember what my husband had now, but I know he wanted more! They tend to use as much locally sourced produce as possible. We had a bottle of Pinot Grigio, and also a large bottle of water. We chose to have our coffees and little chocs/fudge (home made)etc back in the bar area. Bill came to £75 which included the drinks at the bar. You are left to tip as you wish, which always shows a good place in my opinion. This is a very classy place, very clean and tidy throughout. High quality cutlery, glasses and linen.. I have to mention how impressed we both are by the staff at this place, and actually the whole hotel. It has been voted number 6 in the world I believe. The staff are friendly, have a great knowledge of the menu and are a delight to converse with. Thet are all lovely, but I will have to single Tomas out as a particular nice helpful young gentleman. I strongly would recommend anyone to try this place if you have never been before. It will become a firm favourite I am sure. Enjoy!

Really lovely food, hot and tasty with good size portions and good value. My husband and I sat in the restaurant which is beautiful. The staff were warm and friendly too.

very warm welcome and friendly atmosphere a table for the entire evening wide selection of excellent home prepared food

beautiful food great service. recommend highly

hi, this is a very nice restaurant in Bradford and the food is also not expensive and further it is unlimited food.

Cannot rate this pub highly enough. A traditional British pub which has managed to maintain a regular clientele due to it's high standards of hygiene, ambience and friendly owners and staff who always go out of their way to make you feel welcome. No overbearing TV or music, always just right to please everyone. The beer is ther best pint of hand pulled Tetley you will find. The outside area is great in the summer. Very safe with lots of room and equipment for children to play.

We celebrated an important family birthday at the China Palace last weekend. From start to finish the service could not have been friendlier. Two of us wanted something vegetarian that wasn't on the menu and it was prepared with no fuss. The food was as good as any Chinese restaurant I've been to - from London to Liverpool, the portions were generous and the bill was a pleasant surprise. Wine list was better than I expected too. They deserve to do well.

stay away, manners of a pig in there, we went in at five o clock it was empty, myself my wife and family. was turned away as they were fully booked in an hour, how on earth can a family of four take longer than an hour to eat a meal. attitude of waiter was atrocious we are full you, no manners whatsoever, ie you are not paying tonight i will not grace you with manners

my recommendation is to never, ever eat from Masala. The food took 1hr 20 mins to turn up. we rang twice and they were rude each time, making excuses over why its taken so long. now the food....the chips were raw and soggy, the naan bread was dry with the salad and sauce no where to be seen. the curry was cold. im struggling for positive feedback now. no i don't have any. rubbish. simples.

this is the best place to go for a chicken korma and the mango chutney is just delicious it seems to taste a different on the poppadoms that they make and all of the experience is just lovely went there last week and it was like i died and gone to heaven xx

Stayed for a birthday treat, in a log cabin..the cabin was great really posh and comfy,the hot tub was divine sat in it for hours really relaxing treat.. the food in the restaurant was gorgeous also the service was top notch, my only tiny criticism is that i felt it was a little dated and over crowded with props and the tables are too near one another.. really worth the money to stay over even though its not cheap.

This was most definitely the best meal I have ever had (Beef Stroganoff). My husband had the steak, I tried some of course, and I could not decide which was the best they were both fabulous. We have told numerous friends since and intend to go back, with them all. Thank you Andreas

small & cosey, seats about 40 huge menu choice but all excellent quality especially the starters very friendly staff, owner goes out of his way to ensure you are completely satisfied highly recommended

Went here over Christmas - food very poor, the roast lamb was inedible, steak at £14 accompanied by two small mushrooms cut in quarters and I know when a so called homemade chip has come from the freezer! The steak pie which should have been served with a jug of gravy was served already swimming in gravy. We were not alone in complaining about the standard of the food - by chance the next table had ordered similar meals so I know it was not just us being over critical Service also very poor, I didn't expect that we would be fetching our own cutlery! It's a shame because the building and decor is really nice. The meal was a treat to the family from my 87 year old mother so we were rather reluctant to complain but felt we could not let it go. The manager was actually very apologetic and took 20% off the bill so well done to him, but a rare family evening with everyone together in Yorkshire was spoilt.

WOW lost for words this place is the best ever = food, service and price you get whole package here [ zaff nt bad looking either lol] Try it guys you wont be disappointed..

What can I say about Brooks? Absolutely fabulous! I have visited this restaurant many times and I have never been disappointed. The food is gorgeous and plentiful!!! The service is impeccable and the staff friendly and welcoming! The ambience is relaxing and refined. A perfect dining experience

The best restaurant that i have been to in a very very long time. the food was to die for, the decor very cosmopolitan and the staff ever so nice and helpful.

Just visited Prashad for the first time, Fantastic place full of amazing looking food. On the recommendation of Bobby i went for a cheat and it was unbelievable, never had anything like it before just beautiful definitely go again!!
