The Lock 2 Wharf Approach, Leeds LS1 4BR

"The Lock boasts of a wonderful ambience, delicious meals and excellent customer service."

"Nice relaxing vibe by the Leeds Liverpool canal, 5 minutes walk from the train station. Helpful and polite staff, food was nice, little bit pricey. Worth a visit."

"Really enjoyable to be sat by the canal on a bright sunny day. They have black sheep on tap which definitely deserves a bonus point. Fish and chips was nice, the batter could have been crispier and the portion of fish a bit bigger, it came with a huge portion of thick cut chips which were very nice with the mushy peas and tartare sauce. I will be going again on a bright sunny day, food ok but the ambiance is great. Service was good considering the times that we are in."

"Arrived for lunch. Friendly staff we used a groupon voucher. Real value for money. Fabulous service. Great views around us. I had a normal burger n chips and it was superb. I'd defo recommend here."

"Popped in for a bite as I was staying in the nearby hotel... and found it wanting. There appeared no meet n greet, no instructions mentioning what to do. I found a wandering waiter who showed me to a table then left me with a menu but no further details, so was unsure if I needed to order at the bar. I ended up flagging down a passing waitress who told me someone would be over. Later, someone *did* come over - that same waitress. The place isn't what you'd call tranquil: they had music playing but at a high volume, making people speaking up to hold conversations so the whole place felt a bit loud and not something you could relax in, but there was some respite later when the music stopped to show the football match on the large screens I had a pie which came served in a metal tray with gravy in a pot and salad to the side. I found the pie a bit overdone, the crust hard and dry, but the gravy managed to dampen it down a bit. I ordered a second beer with the meal but this took a good 15 mins to appear. During the wait I observed staff going about their tasks, washing glasses and stacking plates whilst people stood at the bar waiting - it was as though serving customers wasn't as important as getting through the backlog of work accumulating. Given my experiences of how I was served and acknowledged as a diner, I didn't think the service was much, and won't bother returning here."
