Though it pains me to give a Pub chain a positive review (I'm more of an independent pub man), the…read moreEleventh Earl does everything right, and more. Toby Carveries are, in my opinion, always a good bet - an unlimited amount of meat, gravy, vegetables and, most importantly, Yorkshire Puddings piled on to a plate for a around fiver (sometimes cheaper when special offers are on) just seems like a good idea to me. Yes, it'll never live up to your nan's Sunday roast, but it's better than anything you could make, and a hell of a lot less hassle and effort, so there are few reasons not to indulge in a carvery on occasion. If you're not wearing trousers with an elasticated waist, however, you might want to try something lighter (but less filling) from the extensive, if standard, pub food menu. A final word on the pub itself - the atmosphere is fairly good, and there are cask ales available, but I've never been here just to drink: the main attraction is definitely the roast. And quite rightly.

This Fox & Hounds is located almost on top of Horsforth train station, on the boundary between…read moreHorsforth and Cookridge meaning it has a very local feel about it - you're unlikely to find any students or out-of-towners in here. And perhaps this is just as well, because this place just exudes Yorkshireness, from it's cask ales to it's hearty pub grub and friendly atmosphere. The staff in here are very proud of their casks, and they will let you try-before-you-buy if you're unsure about which one is for you. They also welcome advice on which cask ales they should stock, which means you're likely to stumble upon a couple of elderly chaps locked in a fierce ale-based discussion. If, like me, you're not really a cask ale enthusiast, then don't fear - the food will definitely keep you interested. As a member of a chain - Ember Inns - you might expect microwaved tosh from the Fox and Hounds, but this is not the case. Their food is better than most pub grub you will stumble upon, and realistically priced - if you eat before 5PM, you can get two main meals for £7. Lovely stuff.

I wasn't disappointed in the slightest with my huge plate of cholesterol. Bacon, eggs, sausages, beans, toast , hash brown (hold the tomato though) and a tea or coffee for £4 represents excellent value.

One of the finest fry-ups (including my dad's) I've ever had. Go there and Eat!

Well I'm on for some bird action now. Nope I've not switched buses, I'm talking about the Owl Pub…read more Just out of Leeds in the Rodley area it's a nice little player. For a start it's a nice building and is done out well. The reason I like it though is because it's got quite a bit to offer. They are really doing their bit for the local and underground music scene and still have live gigs on most weekends. That has to be commended so I am. You'll get everything from blues to folk. Worth a punt even if the genre isn't essentially your thing. Next up the beer is good. Oh yes, we're talking good casks and local too. Fancy a sip from a Leeds, Skipton, Sheffield, York, Ossett or Saltaire brewer? Then no problemo, my amigo. You'll also find Tetley's and John Smiths too. Aint half bad lad. As for the grub, it's proper pub food here. We're talking roasts, burgers and lighter bites at lunch too. Never going to win prizes for originality but you've gotta love some pub food as it should be at times. Don't be fooled, this is a pub. It's not a bar but we like it for it.

The food is good, very traditional but good and there's plenty of room to sit down if you're eating.

The exterior is so attractive that you think to yourself 'I should have a pint in there'.

And you leave after one pint, admiring the exterior again on your way out and wishing you'd just stayed outside for the last twenty minutes.

Owned by the well-respected folk that also run Arcadia in Headingley, Town Street Tavern is one of…read moreTown Street's unsung heroes. Inside a quaint yet rustic little building you will find a very similar set up to that of Arcadia: a huge selection of British ales, European beers (such as the majestic Erdinger) and a global selection of wines. As with Arcadia, you may feel that the prices are a little bit steep, but take a moment to steady yourself and remember that you are drinking real quality alcohol and supporting dying British breweries as you do it. The atmosphere is one of quiet relaxation, as the more adult selection of alcohol tends to draw in the over 30s more than the under 30s. I have never tried the food here so cannot comment, but I would recommend stopping in for at least one drink (make it an Erdinger). Even if you don't like it, at least you can tell your friends that you went for a drink in a tavern - how many people can say that nowadays?

The Town Street Tavern is dressed to impress from the outside. It is housed in a period building and it looks the business. Appearances can be deceptive so I was still holding back on my judgment. Inside it's more of the same, lovely. They are a bar and a brassiere and manage to combine style with a cozy atmosphere. So far, so good. So fill my gapping stomach with some food please. Maybe I was a little more polite than that but I went for a big bad boy of a burger with excellent home made chips and coleslaw. No grumbles from me or my stomach. This is a very pleasant pub experience and even better than that it's not far from the train station so you can stagger home safely too.

The Queen's is definitely the most undervalued pub in Horsforth, and (due to the fact that it is a…read moreGrade II listed building), probably the oldest. Because of its age, it has a definite air of real, authentic tradition. The building itself is a tiny terraced cottage with a quaint little white paint-job that has been in place for as long as I can remember. When you enter, you almost have to stoop at the low wooden ceilings - but rather than making you feel trapped, this aspect gives it that real "Ye Olde English Pub" feeling. It serves a variety of traditional British ales at the sort of low prices that attract the retired clientèle. Before the smoking ban came in, I saw a guy in here who must have been approaching ninety, tugging away at a pipe and stroking his handlebar moustache. Proof, if it was needed, that you are unlikely to find a more traditional or English pub in the whole of North Leeds.

The oak beams and low ceilings allows this place to ooze with smugness over its status as the oldest pub is Horsforth (just mind your heads folks!) Its cosiness may make you want to stay in there all day and all night, but just watch yourself as you get enveloped by its great strong historical arms, and remember your livers need a bit of love. If you fancy a tipple or three, they serve a great range of ales, as well as lager and basically just about anything you'd want, although I think ordering an apple martini could get you a couple of odd looks!

The building is out of this world. It's a grand affair and dates back to the mid to late nineteenth century. You'll be impressed as soon as you see it from the outside. That's always a good start. Once you're in, it doesn't disappoint. I'm in love with the huge roaring real fire and could quite happily stay there for hours on end. The service is fantastic too and it's a great atmosphere in a beautiful building. As for the food, well it's good old decent stuff and the price is more than reasonable. I wouldn't say it's out of this world, unlike the location, but that's mainly because it belongs to a chain. You've got real ales to sink into as well and a fab wine list. You know I love my wine and this doesn't disappoint. All in all this is one pub that you really must get to. Is that clear enough for you. Brilliant.

A massive amount of fish, chips, salt and vinegar (and a large dandelion and burdock to go please!) costs under £8 so it won't break the bank. If you decide you'd like to have a more refined lunch, you may order from the restaurant that looks like something out of an old souped up saloon bar. Service is always excellent and the food is continually fresh, fast and affordable!
