The Bingley Arms

morrocan chicken a little dry with rice and pickled veg, drinks expensive, but friendly and nice old world surroundings and a lovely beer garden at the back.

Lovely change to this last visit to the Bingley. Ate upstairs in the restaurant as a private party were using the room downstairs. Food excellent, service excellent, atmosphere excellent! Thanks to the Bingley team.

Great service, friendly staff and amazing hearty food. Would definitely recommend it. The sun was shining when we visited so we got to sit in the beer garden too.

The food was really good, very tasty and well cooked and presented. The young man who served us was really cheerful and cracked a couple of jokes with us. The pub itself was delightful and it was nice to have drinks and a meal in a pub with such character and history. All in all, a good night was had by all.

Lovely old pub, in a delightful village, & nice to think ggggg-grandpa hoisted a tankard or two here in the 1720s! Excellent food, friendly staff! We liked option of reduced size meal, too. Dark beer was delicious, too. Hope to stop by again next trip south.

Took my husband to the bingley arms after a lovely meal, the fish and chips was lovely, service great, the pub is a little warn down, could do with nicer parasols and toilets updated etc.

A warm welcome and excellent food and service in pleasant surroundings. The pub has a lovely, tiered garden, which is very peaceful and spacoius. Would definitely recommend this establishment.

Sunday lunch was extremely good. Staff attentive and very pleasant. We will return. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience as did our guests. The inn has a very interesting history too.

a lovely pub setting in a quiet idyllic place great food and excellent staff. The quality of the food and portions that are served are excellent. 10/10

Very nice meals , excellent friendly service we will defiantly return , when in area ., beautiful garden we have yet to explore , thank you

The restaurant was pleasantly busy, but not crowded. The staff were pleasant, friendly and helpful. The Sunday lunch menu provided a selection of starters and mains to suit all tastes. The food was of a good quality and served hot. We were particularly pleased with the varied selection of perfectly cooked vegetables. Overall a good meal at a reasonable price.

the food and service was first class. very busy as you would expect for father's day, yet this didn't deter from the quality of service. we will definitely be returning to the bingley arms.

Very welcoming, customer service oriented and to top it off the food was brilliant. I would definitely recommend it Bingley Arms to families/couples as it is somewhere anyone can go and eat.

First visit and was very pleased. Lovely place and lovely staff. Was quite busy but we weren't waiting too long. Bargain also as it was 2 for 1 on main meals. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning

The quality of the food was disappointing, staff were pleasant and Bingley Arms is in a beautiful setting. I would go back for a drink

Always good! Table ready when we arrived and never a long wait for orders to be taken by attentive staff. Good food, good service, good atmosphere.

Excellent evening out at the Bingley Arms. The restaurant wasn't as busy as the rest of the pub (night of England match!), so we were able to relax and hear ourselves! Service was quick and efficient. There was a good choice on the main menu, but lots of other choice on the "specials" board. My starter of chicken liver pate was excellent, and surprisingly, enough "proper" Melba toast was provided for all the pate! The lamb shank was melt in the mouth yummy, served with a Yorkshire Pudding and delicious gravy (rather than "jus") and minted mash. Vegetables were served separately. My companions' choices of scampi and steak & ale pie were all pronounced excellent. A decent bottle of wine and 4 coffees finished a really good evening and we'll certainly be going again.

Went here for Sunday dinner, lovely atmosphere, attentive staff, fantastic food - very oldy worldy pub with original features. Would highly recommend for either Sunday dinner or evening meal.

great food great service great atmosphere just great would recommend the venue to any one looking for something slightly different the booking of the table was so easy did it online in miniutes

Atmospheric pub with the most delicious food. Portions are enormous and the gravy is out of this world. Really helpful friendly staff. We will be back!!

I would normally have given this place a 6 any day of the week. They just seem to be getting a little complacent and letting their standards slip a little - it is still good but it's just not great. The service was also a little bit wanting. Two people had their mains served. Then there was a 5 minute wait until one lot of potatoes arrived. Another 5 minutes before any cutlery arrived, 2 more mains came and then the veg followed by the remaining potatoes, then we had to wait for condiments. The first two diners were half way through their meal before the rest of us had even plated up. The staff don't seem to be able to work together as a team to ensure all the food arrives for one table at the same time. We do still recommend it to lots of other friends as they have a great chef.

Always good food, good service, good atmosphere. The staff are helpful, efficient and friendly with Ryan at the helm making sure everything runs smoothly at all times.

It has been many years since we visited the Bingley Arms. We used to go regularly but stopped when the food became disappointing. It is refreshing to find that the food is of a good standard and the staff and surroundings equally good.

The pub is beautiful, food and service was average Sunday pub lunch standards; obviously a really popular place though, beer garden looks great for summer time.

Lovely restaurant with brilliant staff. Well-priced food that was of excellent quality. Only thing I can think of as a negative was the chimney/fireplace in the Snug needed a good sweep & clean; it was a little bit grubby & the room smelt sooty! A very minor quibble about an excellent venue.

VERY slow service. When the food finally arrived, one steak ordered medium rare arrived well done. All 4 steaks were dry, tasteless and of very poor quality. Their 2 for one offer on a Tuesday is obviously only possible by serviing low grade food. Other tables were complaining about the service (or lack of it). It's a great shame as this is a local pub with a lot going for it, but we will now go elsewhere for food.

A nice comfortable pub with very substantial and enjoyable food - you don't need a starter if you are having the steak and ale pie! Good wines by the glass and bottle.

All three diners were impressed with the service and food. We were made to feel welcome and the attention throughout the meal was excellent. Thank you will come again.

The staff were lovely - The food was very tasty - We have been twice and will definitely return to try different things from the specials board. Many Thanks Suzy Galbraith

We tried two dishes, the Rump Steak Imperial and The Steak and Real Ale Pie one with mash and one with the Bingley's famous chunky chips all cooked to perfection. Great food, great service all round terrific experience.

Nice Place With friendly staff and good service. Good Food and beer. I can recomend the Bingley Arms for everyone. Only a short distance from Leeds!

Setting and atmosphere was great. Food was ok but not outstanding and service was a bit hit and miss with cutlery missing and side orders not quite right but resolved fairly quickly.

Very friendly / helpful staff, Food excellent main course too much for me but very good. Beautiful historic setting to enjoy Easter Sunday lunch .

Good atmosphere and extremely helpful staff at all times. Table ready and set up on arrival despite it being Good Friday and obviously a busy time.

the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. food is all freshly presented and is delicious. staff are very attentive and polite. we have booked for Fathers day, can't wait. yummy.

Excellent staff who were all very friendly and welcoming. Very nice food and lots of it. Great atmosphere in the Tap Room, the locals made us feel very welcome and made a fuss of our dog......which he loved.

Food was lovely, staff really friendly and helpful, service was just a bit slow considering the restaurant was only about half full - we booked for 2.15 and didn't leave until almost 5pm. I would still recommend though!

If you would like to eat at a table surrounded by noisy foul mouthed drinkers, be served by a rude middle aged waitress who flies into a hissy fit when you inform her of the language you have endured. then addressed by a totally disinterested manager/owner, then this is the place for you. Three tables of diners adjacent to us also complained about the noise and behaviour of the drinkers, the response was a shrug and "what can we do? we've had a word with them........" The food was average and overpriced, we left most of our main courses as we couldn't wait to leave. The evening was further enhanced by one of the drinkers sitting by the exit to the smoking area, smoking in the bar with the door ajar. When I told the waitress, she said that this could not have happened!! if this site would accept a zero rating, that is what I would give. A never to be repeated experience. One final tip, book online, it guarantees you the worst table in the place.

Nice beer garden, part of it had a lovely sun trap. Freshly cooked food. And Full of character. My elderly mum & 2 daughters loved the history of the place.

Gorgeous food friendly staff cant wait to go back soon

Excellent quality food, massive portion sizes. Really friendly staff and good service. It was our first visit and I'm sure we'll be regulars in future. Excellent

Very nice, helpfull staff, comfortable surroundings, good food, just what i expected. Easy to book a table. Perfect place to meet my family, I think we'll be going back at som point.

The restaurant may have a valid claim for being the old pub in Britain but the place looked drab and ready for an update on the décor. Booked a table for 13:00 and arrived on time but it was 13.25 before someone took our drinks and food order. Not offered a menu on arrival, we did ask for some menus at about 13:15. Even two Ladies who left the Pub at about 13:20 (who frequently had Sunday lunch at this pub) commented that we had not any food served, in response I said they have not even taken our order yet. We all (3 people) had the same main course, steak and ale pie, which was served hot and in reasonable time after we had ordered. It was sound pub grub but not my idea of Gastropub dinning. We only had the one course and finished off with teas and coffee. When I asked for the bill I had at least another 10 minute wait as the staff were having problems in printing the bill from the electronic till. The pub was clearly doing sound business for a Friday lunchtime and my review is not consistent with what I have read in other review. However, I did a 240 mile round trip to take my 90 year old Mother in Law out for lunchtime treat for Mother’s Day and the experience fell well below expectations.

Are you looking for somewhere to go for Sunday lunch, we'll look no further the menu choice catered for everyone and we even had room for a dessert! Fabulous pub with friendly staff.

Disappointed by the experience having had to wait for 50 mins for a simple main course meal of lasagne, fish pie and sausage and mash. Rather expensive too for the food quality.

We had a fantastic roast for Mother's Day with very friendly and attentive staff. Wide choice on the menu too. Would highly recommend a visit to England's oldest pub!

From the moment we arrived the staff where warm friendly and attentive ,we orded four different meals they we all brilliant. ,I would recommend the Bingley arms for a great atmosphere thank you .

Absolutely brilliant evening - the menu was well thought out and covered all tastes - thoroughly enjoyed and will be back again soon, the staff are excellent and made the evening even better!

Well what can I say. We had booked a weekend away in our touring caravan for our anyversary, and when booking we looked online at nearby facilities. The Bingley Arms the local pub/resteraunt. I looked online and noted that Bingley Arms was the oldest pub in England which really appealed to us with its traditional character and charm. We booked in for Sunday lunch and was pleasantly surprised at the decor and facilities. The food was amazing along with fantastic service. I would recommend friends and family to eat here and I will be coming back in the near future.

Excellent service and food nice friendly atmosphere. We will definetly go again when in the area. Four of us visited and all had excellent meals
