For generations, The Abbey Inn has welcomed locals and travellers beside the historic walls of Kirkstall Abbey. Today, we continue that tradition with hearty Yorkshire food, proper ale, and honest, warm hospitality — the way it’s always been. Nestled beside the ancient walls of Kirkstall Abbey, The Abbey Inn has been a place of rest, comfort, and good company for centuries. Originally a stop-off for monks, craftsmen and travellers journeying through West Yorkshire, the pub has grown into a landmark of honest food, local ale, and proper Yorkshire hospitality. We’re proud to carry that tradition forward. Our kitchen champions the flavours and ingredients of this region — slow-cooked meats, fresh local produce, hand-pulled ales, and the kind of hearty plates that people return for time and time again. Whether it’s a midweek supper, a family Sunday roast, or a quiet pint by the fire, our mission is simple: make you feel welcome, well-fed, and right at home. Today, The Abbey Inn blends its heritage with a fresh, modern menu and a warm, relaxed atmosphere. You’ll still find the classic favourites alongside new dishes crafted by our team, all inspired by the comfort and craft that have always defined Yorkshire cooking. Some places come and go. This one stays — because it’s part of the community. From our family to yours, welcome to The Abbey Inn. Good food. Good ale. Good company. Always.
