Midland Hotel Woodlesford — Restaurant in Leeds

Well.. where do I start... my friend and I came for food.. i ordered crispy prawns as a starter and the "surf and turf" main course. I did try to order a cocktail as well but unfortunately they didnt have the ingredients to make it which was a shame. My order was taken and i paid in advance and went back out to wait for my food. The very lovely friendly server came out to me and said there are no prawns left.. fair enough i said do me a cheese board instead. He came back 5 mins later and said there's no lobster for your surf and turf. (It was meant to have been served with 2 lobster and prawn fishcakes) i said you have another fishcake on the menu ill have it with that instead. Comes back.. no fishcakes. At this point id have probably left and gone elsewhere but id already paid so I said well what do u actually have? He said scampi 🤣 so i said fine scampi it is. When the food comes out to me it did look great but i was slightly annoyed by my 4 tiny pieces of scampi that was meant to be a replacement for the lobster! So i basically was served the rump steak main with 4 pieces of scampi. Im not sure it was worth the extra i paid to be honest! I basically paid £20 for 2 items that were 10.99 on the set menu. I actually paid £9.01 for 4 pieces of scampi. I then had to ask again for my cheeseboard that theyd forgot to give me! It was all a bit of a shambles! They should have offered a refund. I've given 4 stars because the food i did get was tasty and more importantly the lovely lovely staff. The guy behind the bar and the lady with red hair were so nice. The staff really need to be told the items that are not available before they take payment though. Also.. why are SO many items not available. The menu needs changing because they clearly can't keep the items stocked. I wont be back despite the wonderful staff. The stock needs much better management or just...

Easy to find, ok parking spaces. Obviously being a Friday night it was very very busy (always a good sign in my eyes!) Staff were lovely kept reminding us they hadn’t forgotten us. We checked in and were shown to our room which was in a separate building away from the main pub. Very quiet. Had our own front door not a communal entrance. Room was lovely with a nice coffee machine inside, was a little put off as there was mold in the shower including the ceiling of the shower. Slept relatively well until people coming back to their rooms at 3am were a little loud but that’s not the hotels fault and again it was a Friday night. Check out was at 10am, we went to check out and have our breakfast which was included, unfortunately this is where it has lost a star, very disorganised staff, waited far far too long so ended up going up to order our food and drinks instead of waiting to have our order taken like we were told would happen. Cutlery was brought over twice so we’re sauces. Food took quite a while to come out and my coffee didn’t come out u til were at the point we were about to leave. (Good finished etc) Beautiful place and staff are lovely but just the organisation is a...

We stayed at The Midland to break up a journey. Must say it was excellent value for money.

The welcome was friendly and the host showed us to our double room. The rooms are set aside from the pub with their own private entrance. The room was clean and warm with a comfortable double bed. Tea making facilities as well as a Nespresso coffee machine were provided with large cups (very welcome). The windows had shutter blinds and could be opened if fresh air was wanted. The shower was good with plenty of hot water and soft bath and hand towels were provided together with toiletries. A good night's sleep was followed by a very tasty hearty breakfast.

We also had a meal at the pub restaurant (which had a freindly family atmosphere) the evening before and this was excellent value and tasty.

Finally, pets are allowed which we loved (not to everyone's liking we know).

We will definitely be staying here again the next time we are passing through on...
