Praise for The Highland Laddie is well deserved

- BY YEP REVEIEWER

I think I've found my goto recommendation for anyone visiting Leeds.

The refurbished Highland Laddie reopened earlier this year to much fanfare and received heaps of praise from a flurry of esteemed voices - and the hype is very much justified.

But anyone expecting another glamorous establishment with half an eye on social media engagement will be grossly mistaken - or, more likely, pleasantly surprised - as the Highland Laddie's refreshing charm comes from its inherent and distinct, determined pub-ness.

Absent are any hints of forced affectation and instead the pub is imbued with a natural and reassuring character that stretches to all aspects and serves as a remarkable testament to the sadly-waning allure of the Great British pub.
