The Lock Kitchen & Bar, Leeds – Sandwich and salad
The question you may be asking is why is the sandwich wrapped up like a parcel? Could it be because of the English obsession of serving food hot? Or could it just be a unique presentation? Whatever the reason, I’ll always remember this sandwich as it was delicious.

The Lock looks like a cozy, inviting space. I love that it overlooks the locks and canals for an interesting view. Funny that the sandwich was wrapped like a parcel–I didn’t know the British were obsessed with hot food. It looks cute, though!

The cheeseburger looks delicious, and not just because I have been on a low carb diet and haven’t been able to have one in a while. Good food is always better with a good atmosphere and it seems to have that also. I love the wrapping for the sandwich and would have been curious myself as to why

I reckon I visited the Lock Bar on a few occasions when I used to live in Leeds. I used to love the burgers there! And as it’s under the hotel it never got too busy that you couldn’t get a seat.
You are absolutely right Vicki, we offer a plenty of comfy seating and have a huge terrace overlooking the Leeds-Liverpool canal if the sun is out! We hope to welcome you back soon.
I like the ambiance of The Lock Kitchen & Bar. It looks cozy, stylish, and spacious. Actually, I like that the sandwich is wrapped because it will preserve its freshness. It looks like it is handled properly too. The burger and fries have a reasonable portion and look delicious. I would definitely go here if I have a chance.

I love the interiors of the place. It is unpretentious, understated and classy. Though you have not mentioned but this looks like a vegan friendly place. Being a vegan I love such places. And I loved the wrapped sandwich. Quite unconventional!
We are glad you like it! Indeed, have a nice selection of vegan friendly salads and vegetarian sandwiches…Hope to see you soon!
Yum, a grass-fed burger sounds delicious right now! Lock Bar & Kitchen seems to be a good option, especially as it’s good value for money and within quick walking distance of the train station. I like that they have their own deli too; it would be handy for taking a sandwich and exploring Leeds.
