Sunday lunch is a British institution, dare to declare you're not a fan and most will stare and point at you. I'm not one for eating Sunday lunch out, I've been spoiled by the best homemade Sunday lunches, and often restaurants don't come close. On this occasion a trip in to Leeds city centre was needed and a good belly full too, so me and T decided to look in to Sunday lunches - via the help of twitter. The top recommendation was the Adelphi. Roasts are priced between £10.50-12.00 dependent on what you order. The selection on this day included pork, chicken, beef and nutroast. I went for the most expensive option the beef. Each roast is served with veg, Yorkshire pudding and potatoes. T went with the pork and cracklings option. As you can see the Yorkshire puddings were sizeable, although a little stale for my liking - I'm used to them fresh out of the oven. Gravy came already poured on... I would have preferred to have had a little jug to do it myself. The beef was really good quality but personally I could have eaten it a little rarer - always a gamble when ordering beef. T had no complaints with his pork but wished for more crackling. The veg was okay, I'm not a massive fan of boiled cabbage give me brocoli with my roast over cabbage any day. The roasts again were okay but not as crispy and fluffy as those in which I have become accustomed to. I realise I sound very critical in this post but when you've had the best you can't help comparing. It's a good standard pub Sunday lunch and if that's your thing I'd certainly recommend it.
Really great pub in Leeds. A bit of a walk from the city center to cross the river but worth it. Super rustic, cozy pub with several rooms to choose from. Impressive cask options and the usual draft choices. The food stands out here. Really diverse and high quality menu. I couldn’t decide so I ordered a trio of bar snacks. All were top notch, fresh and delicious, and came with great sauces. Although super quiet on late March afternoon on a Monday, would still recommend a visit any time!
Very old large Tetley pub. Lots of rooms off the bar. For food, music and just a drink. Outdoor seating. It was a quiet Wednesday afternoon. But I believe it's very lively at the weekends.
