Our verdict · Named-butcher roasts and a real veggie option at the keenest prices, a short walk from the station.

Go if

Budget and an easy walk from the station lead your decision and you still want a named-butcher roast with a proper veggie option.

Skip it if

You want a fine-dining or grill-cooked plate, or the historic character of Whitelock's or the Cardigan Arms — it's a modern brewery gastropub.

From ~£12 pp

Indicative price at the time of review.

The Midnight Bell is the dependable value pick. Leeds Brewery's flagship gastropub sits on Water Lane in the regenerated Holbeck Urban Village, a short walk from the city centre and station. Its roasts — beef topside, pork loin and roasted chicken — are sourced from the named Yorkshire Dales Meat Co., with a nut roast and vegetarian gravy so non-meat eaters aren't an afterthought. Indicative pricing spans roughly £12–£22 with service from midday to 7pm, giving the broadest price ladder and the most affordable entry point of the five. It can't match Ox Club's grill cooking or the heritage of Whitelock's and the Cardigan Arms, which is why it rounds out the list — but for a relaxed, well-priced roast with brewery beers and named-butcher sourcing near the station, it's hard to fault.

The good & the bad

Pros

  • Broad price ladder from about £12 — the best value here
  • Named Yorkshire Dales Meat Co. sourcing in a relaxed gastropub
  • A genuine nut roast with vegetarian gravy, plus Leeds Brewery beers

Cons

  • A modern brewery gastropub, not fine dining or grill-cooked
  • Lacks the historic character of the older pub picks
