Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

Went to the new look Woodside on Saturday night and WOW! what a difference... Gone is the pool table and in has come elegance and chic. The bar now looks swish and modern, no more optics which makes a big difference. The comfy sofas are just that...and you feel excited about drinking and dining once more. The outside area has had a rethink too along with swish new sign and trees lit with lights as you enter. his is no longer branded as a pub, its now a restaurant with a bar...and on entering you see why... its new decor compliments the amazing new carvery and menu...The carvery was my choice and for £7.50 was a good choice. The two young lads on the carvery were very polite and helpful, and you didn't get too much... just enough to fill my belly. There was a great choice of veg, and three types of potato as well as stuffing balls and Yorkshire puddings, as made by the head chef, Gary Lawson who holds his team of young chefs together very well to produce an amazing menu which includes liver and bacon, swordfish which may to some seem a tad adventurous for Horsforth but I couldn't fault my meal.I am going again for sure with my family for Sunday Lunch. The young staff are all polite and the waiting staff looked very professional in their long white aprons ... ALL the staff should give themselves a big pat on the bask after Saturday night cos It was a great success.All in all it was a whole new eating experience and one which I shall return too. It rings true I guess that if you go down to The Woodside today ...Your sure of a big, and very pleasant surprise.

This has to be the worst Sunday Lunch I have ever experienced in my entire 66 years! As an ex-pat Harrogate Yorkshireman I travelled 200+ miles from my present home in Wiltshire eagerly anticipating a traditional Yorkshire "Sunday Dinner" at what I remembered as the best eating establishment for miles around Harrogate. Instead we were treated to a conglomeration of undercooked vegatables of a variety that never existed in my day in combination - courgettes, broccoli and carrots, a helping of mashed potatoes that could have been heaped on a teaspoon, a Yorkshire Pudding that was unrecognisable in all of shape, taste and consistency and most of all, gravy that looked like coloured water and tasted the same. An absolute disgrace for a meal that for a party of six including 2 children and merely nominal drinks cost £70+. This establishment should fire its chef and its present management for allowing such garbage to be served as "food" and for denegrating both traditions of "real" Yorkshire food and of a hostelry renowned in the past.

The attitude of the staff was appalling, not at all professional, very dirty upstairs, lots of under age drinkers, mucky untidy bar area!!

a 5 star restaurant with a great leaflet boy kieran who interested me in buying your food

The food and the service was outstanding!very quick service even the chef came out to ask if we had enjoyed are meal. EXCELLANT

for a cheap tasty meal with friendly service cant be beaten. sunday lunches just like mum used to make and not the usual school dinner types. book early for Christmas meals so as not to be disappointed.

The food was very tasty and good value. I enjoyed the free olives aperitif. The salad accompanying the main course was delightful, as were the home made chips. I chose pork fillet steak with a peppercorn sauce and was definitely not disappointed with it. I think we were overcharged for the drinks though. A very small bottle of orange juice was £1.75.

very good mate spot on

This a regular eating place for us....probably the best and smartest in Rotherham. Service is excellent and very friendly and the food is to die for ! Recommend that everyone visits this superior restaurant. The lunch time menu is also extremely good value.

I have visited the Stansfield Arms on numerous occasions and have always found the food to be of a high standard. In the dining areas the predominantly youngish staff are extremely presentable and in the main very polite. However, I suspect that the staff have been recruited for these qualities rather than any serving experience or skills - I might be wrong. I have been disappointed with the level of service on every occasion that I have eaten in the Stansfield. I have found it always very slow & a bit chaotic - kitchen losing orders/food arriving on the wrong tables....that sort of thing. I have not been back to the Stansfield for some time since a very disappointing two hour wait for a main course that never arrived! Visit on a quiet day, allow plenty of time and you might enjoy some good well priced food....but you are unlikely to see me there as I don't have the time or patience that I once had.

I have been going to amigos for 5 years now and since the change of management it has gone downhill. The prices have gone up, the food has gone down. They seem to serve mayonnaise with everything the old management would not be happy to see this food. Instead of garlic bread we got 4 slices of stale bread with a huge dolop of mayonnaise, the potatas bravas weren't even cooked properly and then they put the prices up. We were very very disappointed and we wont be going back there.

Gorgeous food, excellent service and all at a very reasonable price. What more can be said!

nothing at all special about this place only average curries free poppadums with meal but these arrived when we had finished our starter

An absolute wonderful experience. The staff are soooo friendly, they are spot on, the pizzas, pastas, starters & desserts are the best Ive ever eaten, definitely the best Italian restaurant outside of Italy, I REALLY RECOMMEND YOU GO

I wasn't too impressed the previous time I visited, but was pleasantly surprised this time. The duck comfit was perfectly cooked and the desserts were delicious, although the crepe suzette was a bit overdone. Would definitely go back.

VERY, VERY POOR OVERALL, BRING BACK CHRIS & DIANE. A GOOD LICK OF PAINT, BUT SHAME ABOUT THE OWNERS AND STAFF. THE FOOD, WELL, CHEAPLY BOUGHT IN, AND KNOCKED OUT FOR A HEFTY SUM. TRY THE PUB AT WELL, MUCH BETTER!!!

this is the best tapas food i have eaten in years... defo best in Leeds and better than much i have eaten in Spain. since the change in management all the old cleanliness problems have gone and it is a fab place to eat

First class presentation. Monday lunch-time but still plenty of trouble and effort taken to ensure an enjoyable meal. Lots of interesting variety on the menu. Well Worth missing a train for.
