BLACKHOUSE GASTROBAR

Went here for food on Light Night and wasn’t disappointed. Everything was excellent. Great seafood starters including oyster, mussels and prawns. The mussels were quite small but still tasty. Steak was cooked very well and a good size. Staff very were friendly and professional. Cocktails were also very good. Good atmosphere with lots of people dining. Very good location for buses and trains. Would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately my experience at Blackhouse was disappointing. The service was extremely slow, our mains didn’t arrive for over two hours and when the meals did finally arrive they were subpar. I ordered from the Christmas menu and had the Turkey for main which was extremely dry and as you can see from the photo my pig in blanket looked to be cremated. Our desserts arrived just as we were about to leave as we had been at the restaurant 3 and a half hours at this point. The only positive to the experience was the lovely waiter that served us, who was completely embarrassed himself at how the evening transpired. We hope that this was just a one off experience due to it being busy.

Gorgeous meal yesterday at Blackhouse. We took advantage of their 50% off January new menu offer and it did not disappoint. The food was excellent and the service from Maddy was genuinely lovely — she was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even better. We started with oysters, fennel velouté, and scallops, then had steaks and halibut for mains with all the sides — everything was spot on. Really enjoyed the new Blackhouse Pilsner too. A nice touch to be welcomed with complimentary shots, which were delicious. Would absolutely recommend — and loving the new vibe in there.

Incredible evening at Blackhouse for their event with Whitby Lobster Conservation. The food was next-level — the mixed prawns were a standout starter, and the lobster main was honestly unreal. Knowing how rare it is to try Whitby lobster (only 5% stays in the UK!) made it feel even more special. (We got here from the guys at Whitby lobster conservation and I learnt so many interesting facts which added so much to the event was just about food but the story). The jasmine curd dessert was light, refreshing, and perfectly sized. Wine pairings were spot on — not the biggest fan of the dessert wine, but that’s personal taste (I prefer drier wines). What really stood out was the service. The staff were knowledgeable, genuinely passionate, and talked us through the menu with care. Easily some of the best service I’ve had in Leeds. An unforgettable experience — can’t wait to come back.

Went here a couple weeks ago for my wife’s birthday and had a lovely meal. Absolutely delicious steak and sides. The live pianist was pretty good and our server Saul was a lovely guy and helpful to us in choosing what to eat. will be back again!
