Horrible place. Food hygiene people need to visit. Raw chicken served second time in two visits!
foods rubbish, beers average but shows some football through their dodgy sky box.
another poor pub serving less than average food and being served by staff that seem to be happy to stand around chatting/having food fights/playing with their mobiles...
What happened to The Engine? Live music in the garden, birthday parties every week, real home cooked food..all stopped!
The new owner(s) have done nothing to improve the place except reduce the price of the draught beer.
I do hope it gets back on its feet to the levels of 2011, used to be a nice place to go.
heard a rumour this was ok but some rumours arent true are they? hair in one meal and egg shell in another..poor service and rubbish atmosphere..i think il stick to the harvester or the carvery..:-(
have to agree with the last comment. new owner seems more concerned with filling the place with cheap drinks and alcoholics than decent food and families. i tried a couple of times since it was taken over but stopped going in now..also,it feels like your disturbing one of the girls on the bar cos she cant remove herself from her mobile.not happy.
AVOID...Called last week for the first time since last November with some friends and could not believe how its changed..but not for the better!!
The smell of dirty chip fat hit as soon as we walked in the door, then the beer left a rank after taste. Add to this the lip stick on 3 out of 6 glasses and at best average meals we were not impressed. Dont know whats changed but we wont be rushing back.
The Engine, (hunslet), was recently recommended by friend Sheila in Hunslet Catholic Club. June & I called today and had an excellent meal with drinks. Will definitely call again - possibly on Tuesday to try their 'pensioner Specials'. The pub is now refurbished to a very high standard and has extensive exterior seating accommodation at the front and, secure for children, at the side. June and used to visit the pub regularly some 20 years ago when Charlie Baxter played the piano for 'sing alongs'.
Plus points- Good food at reasonable prices. Large portions and all home made. Large enough choice of drinks. Clean and tidy (even the toilets). Could do better- Car park not big enough. Little cold if not near the fire. Negatives- None that I can think of.
our friends told us it was nice and we really enjoyed our first visit to the engine. the menu has lots of choice for bigger and smaller appetites. friendly staff and even lit the real coal fire when we said we were cold- thank you. will be returning soon and recommending to all.
Had a Halloween kids party here what a waste of money poor burnt cold food. Disco at other side of pub no dj so it want really a disco just a lap top in corner and a flashing light. Kids nearly had hot food spilt on them loads of times due to being put near the kitchen then land lady had cheek to send a rude txt to my friend saying they shud have stayed stuck in corner loads of adults and kids in pub my till was £500 down don't now how she got £250 off me for a rubbish service plus bar money . Not family friendly and poor service don't book a party here .
Very nice pub. Real fires burning away in opposite corners. Great value food.
my partner and i go every thursday lunch and we love it.the staff are always friendly and the food is amazing.nowhere around can compete with the engine for quality.looking forward to many more visits.
Just been to the engine for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday with 12 children and 14 adults. Fantastic food, everyone commented on how tasty the food was. Lasagne was a popular choice but so too was the curries and steak pie. The chips are fantastic. Very generous portions. Kids all had a slush too at very reasonable price of £1 each. Food was cooked fresh to order and came piping hot and more or less all together. All credit to the chef and to the waiting staff. Lovely chilled atmosphere. Lovely beer garden too. Been lots of times and will be going lots more times too! Keep it up!
Best to go during the week when the staff and service seems much better.the food is always nice though.needs a bigger car park.been a few times now and pleased overall.
Thought i'd write another review cos we still eat at The Engine and it's still ace! Olympic Breakfast on Monday to see the torch was a one of and we all loved it. Keep up the good work.
We visited as a family of 6 on bank holiday monday,the pub was clean and we got a friendly welcome from the young man behind the bar. The food was delicious and very generous portions. It arrived quickly and was presented well. The pudding were also nice not to big just right size if you have any room left that is! It was child friendly and was busy the whole time we were there. Will definitely come back! The staff were all polite and helpful especially the young man who went ou of his way to ake sure we were all happy with our meals!
Thanks for a really enjoyable night out. Our food was excellent, we were impressed with the bar/serving staff and decor of the place is clean and trendy. Will be back again.
Went to the Engine for my friends birthday party a week ago and loved it. I just wish we had a place this nice in Doncaster. The staff are a credit to the landlady, they just never stopped! Next time i visit Leeds i will be sure to call in again. :-)
Had an excellent valentines meal last night at The Engine. The tables looked lovely and the food was amazing. Thanks for a great night.
We really enjoy going to the engine.The staff are pleasant and chatty and the food is always top notch.
Was told to go by friends and i have to say they got it right. all proper home made grub, it was delicious! One minor problem was lack of parking but was assured it will be done early next year.
thank you for our christmas meal. everything was perfect.
Went the other day after friends recommended it and was very impressed. The food portions are very generous and there was even a real coal fire burning away in one corner of the room. It has a very 'homely' feel to it. Cant wait to visit again soon.

Beautiful pub. Super meals and a good selection of drinks. Child friendly too with is nice.
Eight of us went yesterday (Sunday) for a little one's birthday. I was pleasantly surprised at what they have done to this old pub. Looks good from the outside and the decor inside was clean and modern. The food was hot and very good served by friendly staff.
We will visit again and recommend to friends and family.
Thank you.
love the new engine.nice tidy pub and good staff.thanks for looking after me and my family on my birthday.
Went in last week for the 1st time with friends that go every week and really enjoyed it.Staff were friendly and polite and the food was great.The home made steak pie and real chips were mouth watering.Its also a clean and tidy pub which makes a change.I would certainly recommend The Engine to anyone wanting a decent place to go in Leeds.Congratulations to the management for making a success of it.
nice place to go with the family.smaller portions for the old and kids meals.super slush machine.everyone enjoyed it.all staff are pleasant.good value too.5*****
Nice pub to go have A clean well priced pint
we just went to the middleton railway for a family day out and was told to try the engine for our dinner. very impressed. well presented food which was on a special offer (2 for price of 1) and nice staff. helped to make a good day out a great day out.
Just got to tell everybody about this place.its mint. Real home cooked food, friendly staff and good value. We pre-ordered our lunch so our lunch break wasn't rushed and it worked a treat. Will be returning again soon.
clean pint,hearty grub and pleasant bar staff.will be back.
Been twice now once with the hubby for an anniversary tea on the 14th June and then then following week on the 21st with my sister and her hubby. Both times the staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent .The home made soups are delicious and very filling and most definitely homemade and the chips that came with the main meal were good old fashioned proper chips. Will definitely be returning and recommending to friends.
got to write and say how impressed i am with this place.me and the girls went for lunch today and loved it.the man and woman on the bar are fantastic-happy,smiley and polite..the food was 1st class-hot,great value and full of flavour..and the setting itself is gorgeous! i wanna move in!! will be back soon.
went in Monday for first time and from the minute we walked in we felt at home.really nice place.young man on the bar seems to go the extra mile for everybody, our kids got pens and paper to draw on then snakes and ladders whilst we finished our drinks. the food was superb.we had curry, fajitas, nugget meal and a small roast beef dinner.every plate was virtually licked clean.will be back again soon.
this place gets better every time..don't get the review about greasy chips-they are the best homemade real chips i have tasted since moving out of my mums. just added all day brunch which was lovely-going back next Wednesday for special offers- buy 1 get 1 free on selected main meals and 3 for £5 on stella bottles..result.
just had a meal here and was very disappointed.the chips were greasy and undercooked and the "homemade" burger was pink and raw. we was offered replacements but declined the offer as we were put off. needless to say we will not be returning here in the near future. sharon leeds
