Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

excellent well presented lunch only 5 mins from jn 25 m62 but sits out in the country with lovely views really enjoyed my smoked haddock and leek risotto served with some lovely homemade bread nice atmosphere open fires good beers a cracking pub

I thought the old hall was amazing. We were seated in a room upstairs which was beautiful we will definitely be going again

Nice cosy restaurant, lovely food and good service

Last Wednesday was my first visit back to Lockwoods since Christmas, and I have to say things were always great there but now they are even better. The new decor has given the restaurant a really cosy and intimate feel. The service was friendly and smiling, and the food was delicious. There is an increased emphasis on local food, even down to the drinks with Lockwoods being the first Restaurant to offer Yorkshire Cider from Cropton near Pickering. I had the chargrilled vegetable and goats cheese stack with sesame roasted potatoes which was very tasty, and healthy. Couldn't resist the white chocolate and rhubarb tart, and looking forward to next time!

The pub is brilliant the food is fantastic and the service is brilliant it? just a nice little place to go and chill out

Perhaps slightly more expensive than other close by but this is balanced out by the quality of the food, the quantity and the ambience. Have been using this restaurant for close on 20years plus and the quality has improved with time. Tony, his wife and his staff do their utmost to ensure that the food. atmosphere is typically Italian.

I really enjoyed my experience at the Bruce Arms, the service was excellent, the food was outstanding. We will certainly return as the prices are unbelievable for the quality.

excellent evening out

it was very nice

The food was outstanding, so much so we went twice in the same week. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

A great place to have a quiet cosy meal with your girlfriend, not as loud as the other bigger restaurants around it enjoyed it!

The food on offer that this pub located in a village a few miles north of York is well worth the extra miles. A range of freshly made food including a specials board. I love the fish dishes and Sunday lunch is a family favourite. The wine list is excellent and the staff really seem to know about the wines they are selling.

The food is always of an exceptional standard. I have eaten many times at The Sangthai and keep going back for more. The duck salad has to be one of my favourite although the Green Thai curry known to most people is so fresh and tasty. The service is polite and friendly. I don? belong to the league that thinks you can only drink beer with hot food and therefore love this well chosen wine list. Please try to leave room for the deep fried ice cream rolled in coconut.

fantastic food and very friendly service. we go most weeks and if ali is cooking it is an even better experience.

I cannot believe how lucky we are to have such a wonderful restaurant in our village. I have never been for a meal here and been disappointed. The staff are always welcoming and every attention is given to any request. It has become by far the place for us to eat and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Every taste can be catered for - from the mildest dish to the hot and spicy selection that some prefer. It's so good we almost always order more than we can eat just so we can take some home and indeed where else would you find that when you have forgotten to take home your 'goodie bag' you arrive home to find that it has been delivered to your door!

Simply the best around, and have been for around 15 years..food & service is extraordinary

We would highly recommend their sandwiches to everybody and I?e never tasted pork scratchings quite like their's

Had a great meal at Sandinista on a Thursday evening a couple of weeks ago. The food was excellent - we ordered a selection of 6 tapas dishes to share based on 3 per person and I couldn't fault any of it. In particular the meatballs and pork belly stood out. This is the best tapas I've had in Leeds. Its not 100% authentic Spanish tapas but its not meant to be. It was very tasty, great value for what we had and was miles better than what you would expect somewhere like La Tasca. The atmosphere was really cosy and our waiter (don't remember his name) made us feel really welcome and was helpful without ever being over fussy. Oh and I should mention that we both finished up with a dessert cocktail which rounded things off perfectly. If you have yet to eat here make it a priority. We'll certainly be back soon!
