Reviews in Leeds and Yorkshire

This old pub has now become hidden so well, that only locals have any chance of finding it. But visitors should make the effort. A good, sound pub meal, but with enough choice to satisfy the jaded, is served by friendly staff at a pocket friendly price. The single bar is supplemented by a terraced garden area.Traditional ales available. It provides a cracking lunch time venue within a couple of minutes by car from the town centre. Sandwiches from around £3 and "main meals" about £7

A Jacobean mansion with delightful walled garden offers an unexpected setting, near Halifax, for an upmarket type meal, or accommodation vastly different from the chain hotels. Panelled dining rooms sparkle at night with traditional napery and the bar area offers an entrance to the garden for summer evening aperitifs. A well planned menu should tempt allcomers and the food is presented at a high standard to match the surroundings. The well selected wine list is varied and fair. Service was pleasant and professional; an interesting misselection, by the chef, of the salt cellar, when a sugar shaker was required, produced an alarming creme brulee based concoction, but it was quickly replaced and all puddings were removed, unprovoked by complaint, from the final bill. Definitely a hidden gem to be wrestled from the grasp of knowledgeable locals and to gain favour with your paramour, or to impress your elders. Surprisingly, Sunday lunch is not available. Budget about £40 per head to include house wine.

This wonderful Thai restaurant has quickly become my favourite eating establishment. The service is prompt and attentive without being fawning, the ambience is simple and relaxed but it's the food which is always allowed to be the star. Simple fresh flavours and authentic dishes are always prepared perfectly. I'd gladly eat here every day (and have been caught eating at their Headingley cafe on a lunchtime and the Guiseley restaurant the same evening.) The pricing is very reasonable for thai food, so you may find yourself tempted to do likewise. If you've not tried it yet, you're missing out.

First rate Thai food in an informal setting. The emphasis is on very fresh, clean and authentic flavours served promptly and with minimum fuss.

I often go to this restaurant with my partner and every time we go we are very satisfied by the delicious 3 course meal we have, the fantastic, friendly service and the great (cheap!) cost. I advise all of you out there to try the amazing chocolate glory dessert - what a way to finish your perfect meal. Treat Yourself!

Have been regular's here for over 10 years. Food is fantastic. Best indian food we have ever tasted. His garlic naan bread is to die for. Bangla lager is very nice, a little pricey but worth it. Service can be slow as all food is cooked to order but it is well worth waiting for. A taste sensation. If indian food is your passion and you are willing to wait for the best, then you must visit Jamal.

Tried their Sunday lunch - huge portions, and quick service for fresh food. Liked the variety of background music here - very mixed. Wish i lived a bit closer to it. Bit hard to find though.

A brilliant location, very homely with wonderful selection of cask ales and lagers. Alex is the landlord,ex Royal Navy, and a great character, down to earth bloke. The food is all home cooked and a delight to see and eat! Alex has all types of bands/artists performing on a regular basis outdoors, what a setting...the views are outstanding, great for country walks. Looking forward to the next visit.

fantastic food and great service good atmosphere but very busy on a friday night

Very nice food, but don’t take bookings so generally a long wait for a table at busy times, but definitely worth it

I have been to this restaurant on many occasions and each time the food was excellent. The quality superb with a choice to suit everyone's taste. Staff always friendly. Bar meals are the same as the restaurant but smoking is currently allowed in the bar (role on July 1st). The carvery is well recommended but leave room for a sweet from the trolley.

the food was way out of this world quality and value was outstanding highly recommended........ YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED

25/06/07 My wife and I spent a week in Richmond mainly for the hiking and sightseeing - imagine our surprise to "stumble" across this fabulous restaurant. On our first visit the whole experience offered by the host David Todd convinced us we MUST come back on our last night in Richmond. Everything sampled both times was outstanding. Do try the "house" gin and tonic and the local Richmond Ales in the lounge while deciding what to order. One of the finest dining events you will find anywhere.

Food was very good I was very impressed. There is the buffet as well as the menu and to say its only £6.95 for the buffet it's not bad at all especially when you have a selection of 6 starters, 10 main dishes and 4 deserts to choose from. I would recommend this to anyone and I'd put it on par with Anams (in Bradford). The only downside is the parking which is on Bradford Road and the view outside is jot exactly great but inside the decor is modern and hey I only go there for the food which as I said is excellent .. try it out.

Fabulous food. Would highly recommend it. Gets very busy though at times and booking necessary.

Excellent Curry! The staff are extremely polite and helpful. The delivery service is prompt and reliable. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

Gorgeous - Gorgeous - Gorgeous! My husband and I have just had a delicious meal at the Frenchgate Hotel. Faultless from start to finish. With superb recommendations from the proprietor; David Todd, we indulged in speciality gin & tonics, good beers, fine dining, superb wines and the most delicious cheese board you could ever wish to grace your palate with. Everything about the evening was just stunning. Without doubt we will return to enjoy the superb dining experience we encountered tonight. This has just become our new 'favourite restaurant!'

we have been here a few times now and its has always been excellent in both food and service well worth a visit, they have their own outside seating area with patio heaters so you can sit after your meal and enjoy a drink with them as well and i know the smokers amongst you will appreciate this. service is second to none well done guys you deserve it.
