Reviews The Adelphi

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!

Brilliant pub with the loveliest staff. Last pub visit of the day and it was one of the best. The lady with her hair up in the bun was just so kind and nice. A beautiful pint of peroni at a reasonable price in a cosy, friendly and welcoming establishment. What more could anyone ask for after a day on their feet before getting the train home? It's a bit of a walk from the city but it's a nice walk all the same! I wouldn't hesitate to return to the Adelphi when I'm in Leeds next!

Great looking pub with an awesome interior. Friendly staff and although I didn't eat the menu looked good. Unfortunately asking £2.95 for half a pint of Pepsi took the shine off an otherwise pleasant visit.

We got married here in May 2023. The staff couldn't be more helpful, especially Tom. We held the reception in the main room upstairs, and it was great. We decorated the room how we wanted to, and staff helped to clear everything away. The food was fantastic as always. Lovely day, and the best bit was we got married. We wiil return often to eat and drink. Thank You 😊

Great evening meals from chef Jason. Really excellent atmosphere in beautiful pub with character. Top choice of tasty beers and great service from Dan and Paul. A perfect end to a great day in Leeds
