Reviews Leadbelly's Bar And Kitchen

First time coming here and I was pleasantly surprised. The grilled prawn salad was the best salad I’ve ever had and I was served by the new manager Philippe and his staff member, Richard, who were both incredibly lovely and kind! Air con and well priced good food! Will come back here again! Thank you!

An excellent menu for breakfast/brunch. Food is beautifully presented and delicious - we thoroughly enjoyed the eggs & bacon Benedict, and the full English breakfast. I’d hoped to try their Shakshuka, which looks incredible on their instagram feed, but unfortunately I was told they’d run out of the ingredients required, which was a shame. The hot chocolate and latte was delicious, and we loved that the milk alternatives were free of charge. The staff were friendly, though there were a few odd things. When I arrived for my reservation, the restaurant was pretty much empty, and I was shown to a really tiny table with two very uncomfortable and tiny stools to sit at, which seemed a bit bizarre given that I’d booked, and there were plenty of other tables available with better seating (and usually you’d fill up your better tables first?). They were very happy to let me change tables. I was also asked several times if I wanted to order food, whilst still waiting for my friend to arrive, even though we weren’t late, it wasn’t busy, and there was no need for any rush. Despite the above, the food was good, it’s a convenient location to meet, and by midday it seemed a popular choice for families and there were a lot of young children around (high-chairs also provided).

Update: Due to the amazing feedback from the restaurant in the comment to my post, I have added another star. When I next get to attend I will be sure to make it a full 5 stars if what is said is true! Definitely check out this place for yourself and find out for me in the meantime! Server was very friendly & when ordering a milkshake, she suggested one she thought was great. Really helpful. Original review: The vibe here is nice. Spacious place. It was a cold, snowy day & we could feel the cold air on us from the vents above. When we mentioned it, the waiter said it likely wasn't that but then came back after with a remote, pointing to it, trying to fix it I suppose (appreciated). Ordered a tasty milkshake whilst deciding on food. We booked our table for 13:30 for our friend's birthday & arrived 10min before. They sat us right away. We had the large main menu on our table - one for each person. Told it ends at 14:00 & a different smaller menu would be out after. At 13:40 our whole party was nearing a decision but we were told they had to take our menus and replace with the smaller ones - 20 min before expected. The halloumi fries were good for a starter. The rest of our party seemed happy with their chicken & beef burgers! The birthday girl had a lemonade she really enjoyed. My husband and I ended up sharing a very thin & greasy pizza alongside an overcooked & loaded with mayo on both buns type of beyond meat burger (see business' comment as this may have been rectified since). My husband gave feedback about the burger so they were aware but we didn't let it go to waste and didn't want to cause a fuss as it was fine. The waitress insisted on helping when we got the bill by taking off the service charge - the one thing we would keep but it was done already. I actually want to go back now and try the new amendments to the recipe! They clearly care about what they do. Thank you.

The only "pub" in the area, so we didnt have a choice but to come here:) I like that the sports and the restaurant are seperate, so you can eat and have a drink without being disturbed by the sport and the fans. Good food, came very quickly. Friendly, polite staff and a good vibe.

Got there 30 mins before the kitchen opened at 5pm so we enjoyed a couple of happy hour cocktails and mixed nuts while we waited. Staff were friendly and looked like they actually enjoyed working there. We had the ribs and mussels and omg what value for money - well presented and tasty.. Finished with coffee as no room for dessert which was a shame. Nice chilled out place with outdoor seating and interesting artwork. We visited on a Friday, early enough that we didn't need to book

I been few days ago to have a cooktail and food with some friends , for the second time I felt at home, the staff is very friendly, the style of cocktails is high as lounge bar , the atmosphere it’s amazing! The food also reminds me Mediterranean place… delicious! thanks for everything. I'll be back again for an evening with friends ( brunch/lunch for sure;)

Really delicious vegan roast! And my fellow meat eaters who tried the pork and the chicken roasts also had rave reviews!!! The restaurant has a cool vibe inside, really beautiful art and we were given the option to be seated by the sports screens if we wanted! Only downside was that we all ordered roasts, but they mistook my order for a burger so I had to wait 10 mins extra to be able to eat... but it was still worth it! Hugest Yorkshire puddings I've had.
