We recently held a funeral tea at Salutes recommended by the Co-op funeral company.For £8.95 a head plus £30 arrangement fee we catered for 30 people and were promised smoked salmon sandwiches,honey roast ham sandwiches,egg sandwiches and cheese sandwiches,salad garnish,pork pies,chips,crisps,chicken wings and quiche.We didnt get the smoked salmon or honey roast ham sandwitches or crisps or salad garnish.The chips were in 2 small bowls and quickly ran out and the chicken was cold.Salutes have since admitted that there was no salmon sandwiches but are adament there were ham which there wasnt and we should have asked for more chips.At no time did anyone ask if everything was okay.Salutes have since offered us a gift voucher but its no use as we dont live in the area.What a rip off.

I, as well as my whole family and lots of my friends, are regulars at Salute. Food is always good, great value and an amazing choice. Try the chicken livers to start, fantastic!. If you want a good night out and cant be bothered to go into Leeds City Centre, then look no further than Salute. I wish there were more local restaurants like this!

Visited Salute at The White Swan for the first time last Saturday. Wasn't quite sure what to expect as we normally eat out in Leeds City Centre. Well, all I can say is WOW!!. From the moment we walked in, our party were made to feel extremely welcome. We were asked by the most delightful member of staff, whether we would like a drink first at the bar or go straight to our table, (which was ready on time even though the restaurant was heaving). Thought this was a nice touch and something that we are used to when eating in better restaurants in Town. There is a really lively buzz about the place and great music in the background just added to the ambience. The menu is extensive yet interesting. I defy anyone to find something that wouldnt take their fancy. When the food arrived, it looked and tasted as good as it sounded on the menu. Stunning starters and beautifully presented main courses were received well by all in our group. Although the staff were busy, they couldnt do enough for us and were only interested in making sure we were enjoying ourselves. I didnt order a desert as i was too full, but when i saw my partners, i wish i had. I cannot recommend Salute at the

Nice food and nice staff, but do not even think about going here if you want a nice atmosphere in which to enjoy your meal. It is heaving with unruly children whose parents let them run around all over the place. We wanted to enjoy our meal in peace but instead had to endure crying/shouting and running around with endless power slides being done across the carpet behind us. If I wanted that I would have gone to Wacky Warehouse! Never going back there again, shame.

Food was nice, but don't even think about going there if you want a nice atmosphere in which to enjoy your meal. It is heaving with children whose parents allow them to run riot all over the place.

Staff very friendly and the food was nice, but we will never go back. Shame.

Really poor food. The chef on duty looked quite unwell during our visit and this put us off, as did the pizza he prepared. It had the feel of a defrosted microwave job. The waitress was excellent though and very friendly, but it seemed she was the only one working as the rest of the staff seemed to be more busy planning their social life. Hoped for better. Here's a good idea. If you want your restaurant to do well, serve good food!

such a shame this restaurant is just average.

it's the only place local to me where you can take the kids without feeling out of place but the food is never nice enough.

my husband ordered a bolognaise pizza which looked like it had just had the sauce slapped on and tasted for too salty for him to eat.

we complained but the waitress just said 'oh well sorry', we were then charged a ridiculous service charge for 5 of us which we refused to pay as the service was lacklustre.

I was disappointed on all levels by Salute. Firstly at the bar why do soft drinks cost more than alcoholic ones?

£2 for a sprite (apparently the lemonade on tap wasn't working although later I saw someone using it!)

£1.50 for 1/2 pint of cider it makes no sense. On to the meal itself I had Ribeye steak 'Diane' £14.95.

The sauce was very nice, I was asked how I like my steak and asked for medium rare and ended up with medium to well done.

The thick cut chips some of them were under cooked and hard. I didn't feel the service was particuarly friendly especially when the dirty cutlery was dropped on me by the waitress.

Overall I would say 'could do better'. A very lack lustre evening which was a real shame I don't know if this was a one off.

I liked to go back and find out but I'm not sure I can justify the expensive fizzy drink and sadly I don't mean champagne!!
