"Celebrating a family birthday. Nine adults three children. Sunday afternoon. Running a bit late with food but hey ho that is not a big problem just another drink. Table ready one of the couples has a prior appointment so their order was taken first and put through with the children's order, took no time at all so happy bunnies. The menu was very extensive for a Sunday lunch time so a lot of decisions to be made. Best to browse on line before you go. Starters half of the adults went for garlic mushrooms the other half prawn cocktail. Mains divided between the lamb beef and steak and ale pie. The starters portion was big enough for a main course, I had the prawn cocktail (well it was Sunday) it was absolutely gorgeous with fresh warm bread. The garlic mushrooms also looked ample and they were served also with a chunk of warm bread for dunking. wow. I had the roast lamb for mains served with Yorkshire pudding, fresh veg, roast potatoes ,fantastic gravy and of course the mint sauce. Then it was do we have enough room left for desert. Of course we do bring them on. I shared my vanilla crème Brule with a chocolate brownie just to compare for next time both absolutely gorgeous. The beer was spot on and several were quaffed and the red wine was second to none, but the taxi driver wouldn't let us take the rest of the wine home opened. All in all it was a fantastic afternoon in a splendid pub with very nice people. The landlord and lady were excellent the bar staff knew exactly what we had ordered previously and the chef and service staff were amazing. Can't wait to get back for another family treat.

"My son expressed his desire for a restaurant that wasn't too fancy or too casual. It's always a challenge to gather grown-up sons for celebrations when they are spread out, especially when you're unfamiliar with the restaurants in Leeds. After scrolling for hours and exchanging options, we finally settled on Gallery 41, which happened to have a 20% off deal on all food for certain days in November - perfect for N's birthday. After a long journey and a chilly afternoon at Kirkstall Abbey, we were ready to eat, and boy, did we eat well. The olives were a hit with my sons and husband, while the garlic bread was described as some of the best they'd ever had. The Skin Fries were a crowd favorite, so much so that we almost fought over the last ones. The main dishes were equally impressive, with the meat eaters raving about the Spiced Pepperoni and the Vegetarian option wowing my husband. I couldn't resist the Florentina pizza, a personal favorite of mine. Dessert was a hit as well, with everyone indulging in their sweet tooth. The atmosphere at Gallery 41 was perfect for our family gathering - quiet, cozy, and conducive to good conversation. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive experience. I look forward to returning with the rest of my family and indulging in more of Gallery 41's delicious offerings. In the end, it's the simple things like family, good food, and quality time together that truly matter. Thank you, Gallery 41, for a wonderful dining experience."
