    Lovely place to come and eat. Lots of choice. Not just fish & chips. Licensed bar for those of you that like a drink. Fast and efficient service despite the restaurant being full. Very tasty fish & chips. Large portion of fish. The restaurant was also very clean and tidy. Well worth a visit.

    "A Culinary Voyage at Murgatroyds" A recent visit to Murgatroyds for a birthday celebration turned out to be more than just a meal; it was an unparalleled culinary experience. The ambiance radiated warmth, just the right setting for a memorable meal with loved ones. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the "Big Un". This dish wasn’t just generous in size but equally abundant in flavor. The fish was ensconced in a perfectly golden batter, crisp to the last bite. Accompanied by traditionally cooked chips, delightful mushy peas, and a slice of bread, it was the epitome of classic British comfort food. The unexpected pairing of a cup of coffee, rather than the typical tea, offered a refreshing twist, adding a rich depth to the meal's conclusion. Priced at Β£22, it presented exceptional value for such an indulgent treat. For those dining with children, Murgatroyds impresses yet again. The kids' meals are thoughtfully curated, striking a balance between taste and value, ensuring younger diners are equally satisfied. In essence, Murgatroyds is not just a fish and chip restaurant; it's a testament to time-honored culinary traditions served with a touch of innovation. If you cherish quality food and genuine hospitality, this establishment should be on your must-visit list.

    Hands down the best Fish & Chips! Look at that light and crispy batter… My family always have a great time here. Ordered the Billy Murgs 2 Course special (includes starter or dessert, peas and tea or coffee) so I ordered Calamari and Tiger Prawns for starters. The parents ordered the Citizens 3 course special for Β£14 with Battered Mushrooms and Yorkshire Pudding for starters and Apple Crumble and Ginger Pudding for dessert. The Apple Crumble was yum! Service was good; had to remind the waitress to bring the peas, and I think she may have forgotten one of our teas as we only had a small pot between us but we will know for next time!

    Lovely restaurant. Fish has nice crispy batter. Our party was served very efficiently. Plenty of choice on the menu. Well trimmed up for Christmas. The conservatory is light and airy.

    My husband saw a Facebook review video from here and we travelled from Manchester to try it out!! The food was absolutely delish! Staff were super approachable and accommodating. Our two young girls (3&2) absolutely loved having their own sharing plate. My only tip would be...we need you to be closer to home! 🀣

    A lovely treat for tea, crispy fish and good size, even the smaller choice had plenty, the curry sauce was yum and you get plenty of bread and butter. Choice of restaurant or take away. Always busy so would be worth booking, although when we queued for restaurant it didn't take long before we were seated. Staff were attentive and friendly.

    Update: Still fantastic 😹 Had a very tasty lunch today. The restaurant wasn't overly busy, which made for a very relaxing lunch. We love eating here, a treat and a half 😊 Original review: Fantastic trip to this lovely place. The staff were great and the food was brilliant. They're pretty big portions also 😁. They can be busy, so patients or booking ahead may be needed πŸ‘

    Highly Popular restaurant. Excellent Fish and Chips..... But there are other menu items too together with a large choice of traditional Nursery Puddings ...... Sponges and Crumbled with Custard or Ice Cream. Friendly and efficient Service in a Spotless environment. Since the slow and sad demise of the once great Harry Ramsden's, Murgatroyd's is now the best in the Leeds/Bradford area. Very busy Friday Evenings when West Riding folk take their High Tea.!!!

    Loved this restaurant. Though quite far from the city center but it is a must visit when in Leeds. The best fish n chips and soup restaurant in the city.

    My first visit to Murgatroyds Leeds travelled over from Halifax 45 minutes oh was it worth it has to be the best fish and chips I have had in my life time. The fish thick cooked to perfection for me a very light crispy batter on the top with ever so slightly thicker on the bottom with excellent flavour of both fish and batter. Mushy peas out of this world as well not something would normally even comment on the whole meal excellent experience with officiant but not pushy staff will definitely be on my constant to do list. And as for price very reasonable indeed if you like fish and chips even if you need to do a day visit its well worth it.

    This place is very popular so I'd recommend you book, especially around a weekend or bank holiday. The fish and chips are really nice. Light fluffy chips with fresh and tasty haddock in a nice light batter. The large haddock was probably too much for me so next time I'd pick the smaller version. Bread & butter provided too. Parking is a bit tight when busy so allow time to arrive if you have booked

    Meh. Not worth the prices they charge. This burger and ships cost Β£11 but came with frozen, stale and flavourless fries. The burger was dry inside. The salad was ok. Wouldn't recommend coming here for anything except battered fish.

    First time eating in the restaurant and really enjoyed it. Our waitress was so lovely and attentive. Can’t fault the food I just prefer chip shop style curry rather than fish shop, but that’s just my preference! The gravy was really nice and the helpings of bread were great.

    This place has a great reputation and it lives up to it. Had to queue to get into restaurant, was a large queue for takeaway also. Seems locals are used to it, but you can book. Very good fish and chips. This is a Big Un, beat me. Huge fish and nice with it

    Great restaurant, fish and chips are always top quality and portions sizes here are huge! The price is more than reasonable for what your buying

    We grew up eating at the original Harry Ramsdens, and we all agreed that this restaurant now carries the flame for being just as amazing. Ferdinana and her colleagues took fabulous care of us, food was great, didn't break the bank and we all had a fabulous meal. This is the first time that we have all been together for a meal in longer than I can remember, and this was the perfect venue. Thanks guys! We will be back soon! πŸ₯°

    Our first time, and our first 'fish and chips' in the UK, came from Keighley. It was unanimously suggested to us, and it does not disappoint. We reached around 6.15 pm and had around a 10 minute wait. The portions are huge and filling. Fish is perfectly fried and not oily at all. Chips portion is more than satisfactory and the mushy peas were good too. Tried the Dandelion and Burdock which was nice too. Our server Damian was amazing. He was patient and beyond helpful with our choices. This is definitely a treat and we will come again. Absolute loveπŸ₯°

    Only my second visit in 5 years! I should come here more often. I ordered the Big'un and I definitely was not disappointed with its size. MASSIVE!! Comes with extremely large fish, chips, peas, mushy peas or baked beans also comes with tea (the teapot came with 3 tea bags which was good) coffee with 4 slices of bread for good measure, all for Β£21.50 The staff was very friendly and the place was packed. Big car park but not many places available. Oh, and I couldn't finish it and I got a big appetite!! My only very small criticism was the baked beans, I was told they were Heinz but didn't taste right. Think they were microwaved and not as tasty from a saucepan!
