We pride ourselves on quality food, sourced locally by our chef.

I recently visited and had the best experience & meal! I’ve got a long list of dietary restrictions & came expecting to enjoy a glass of wine while the rest of the party had a meal. I was asked what all my restrictions are and the lady working, the kitchen and the staff went above and beyond to make me a safe delicious meal. I can’t tell you how much that meant to me. Thank you so much!

The Bingley Arms (905AD) is a public house in Bardsey, Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It claims to be both the oldest surviving business and one of the oldest surviving pubs in the United Kingdom. The staff are wonderful, cheery and helpful. The Real Ale was tasty and in good condition. The pub itself is a series of different rooms with more formal dining on the top floor and casual pub vibes on the first level. Access to the venue is via stairs from the front cat park. There is an extensive beer garden, perfect for Summer days outside. The Dutch Oven, located in the Tap Room, dates to 1738 and is one, of only a few, in its original condition, and the only one in Yorkshire. Highly recommended for pub history buffs.

The Bingley Arms is recognised as being the oldest pub, not just in Yorkshire, or England, but the entire UK - and possibly the universe! Steeped in character and history with lots of exciting and interesting things to see throughout the pub. From the massive old beams to the priest bolt holes in the chimney, the pub is an archive of fascinating facts. The walls display old maps, declarations and records, some dating back to before the dinosaurs!!! A fantastic find and well worth a visit. There's a tiered garden out the back with plenty of seating and space. I expect the car park gets quite full on a busy, sunny day as it's only quite small. A good selection of beers and food is on offer and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable, helping us to see the hidden holes up the chimney, in which the priests escaped persecution. Not an easy task if the fire was lit, I presume! Well worth a visit.

We were looking for a pub to celebrate a birthday. The menu seemed to offer the usual pub food but we were very impressed with the quality and the presentation. One aspect that stood out was the friendliness and kindness of the staff - there is a nice vibe there and we were delighted they arranged a birthday candle for the birthday boy. One of the staff members showed me around the pub and explained different parts relating to its history - very interesting with priest holes and tunnels. My only concern was that next to my table was something that looked like a knight in shining armour, but I was convinced he could have been after my pudding. Thank you for a positive experience.
