We also offer a half-day brewing experience (which makes a perfect gift!).

I’ve been in several times over the past few years but realised I’d never reviewed (maybe I didn’t want to share!). Warm and relaxed atmosphere, great staff serving an absolutely quality product: blonde, IPA, gold, bitter - whatever your fancy they brew it (I’m on chocolate orange tonight)! A must for anyone who appreciates a decent pint, often hard to come by in LS22! Cheers ????
2. Tailors - The Perfect Measure

Tailors shop by day, illustrious gin bar by night - the 20s are back, and the speakeasy is open! Offering the perfect measure in both men’s fashion styling and bespoke gin, Tailors, is a concept store with a difference. A decadent 1920’s gin bar, with frivolities, costume rails and jazz on the gramophone - This is a gin bar with a difference!

I travelled a long way to Leeds Playhouse because I wanted to see Pride and Prejudice (sort of...). I was not disappointed. The show was superb and the venue was great too. We arrived early and used the convenient parking just over the road in the John Lewis car park. We then enjoyed some great food in the restaurant before taking our seats. The staff were helpful and friendly throughout. I hope I’ll be able to visit Leeds Playhouse again soon.

Went to premiere night in Leeds. Great seats on row E with a great view of stage. Kay Mellor has written another stunning adaptation for stage of one of her tv shows. Language is fruity, strong adult themes throughout but it has you gripped all the way through. Applause to a great cast who brought this great show to life. A must see.....

The Engine Shed was the venue for our son and daughter in laws, wedding reception on Saturday. The service food and relaxed attention to detail made the event so memorable. We visited the day before to leave decor accessories and the wedding cakes and Lee the coordinator put us at our ease and was most accommodating, in order to ensure that we could leave things in his very capable hands. The organisation of the day, the setup and helpful staff ensured we could enjoy the wedding with family and friends. Our thanks to all concerned.

I am lucky to live in Wetherby so I am able to visit every Sunday afternoon in the summertime to hear various brass bands play. The bandstand is sited by the river next to a large car park.
