Nestled on the corner of Church Row, the Lamb and Flag is one of those Leeds pubs that is always heaving no matter what time of day, or year, it is. Bursting with life and with a great selection of food and drink, it is no surprise the spot springs to mind when we think of the best boozers in the city centre.
So imagine our joy at finding out that the Lamb and Flag is launching a new menu – and the YEP were invited along to give it a try before opening night. Officially launching on Wednesday 5 April, the Lamb and Flag’s new menu ditches predictable pub grub and chooses a list of show-stopping dishes.
Read our review of the new menu below, and take a look at some of the delicious dishes up for grabs later this week.

3. Beautifully presented starters
Starting off with char grilled king oyster mushrooms and a warm roasted Jerusalem artichoke salad, it was clear that the chefs here had put a lot of thought into the dishes; each portion presented beautifully with delicate garnishes dressing the plate. Photo: Charles Craig
4. Combination of vegetarian, pescetarian and meat dishes
Up next: a fillet of rainbow trout cooked to perfection, laid on a bed of chargrilled courgette, potatoes and celeriac salad. An indulgent squash and goat’s cheese Wellington was also on the cards, served with tenderstem broccoli, roasted tomatoes and a walnut and parsley butter. Photo: Charles Craig
5. Pub favourites also included
But this new menu doesn’t just cater to the pescetarians in the room; also listed is a classic steak and ale pie with seasonal vegetables, and, of course, a Yorkshire Dales 8oz sirloin steak with all the trimmings. Photo: Charles Craig
6. Both light and indulgent puddings on offer
Pudding came in the form of an Eton mess and Black Forest arctic roll – both a delicious light finish to an indulgent midweek meal. Photo: Charles Craig
