Garforth - Amenities

Amenities

Garforth offers fewer amenities than other towns in the City of Leeds, such as Otley and Wetherby. The town centre now resembles a local centre rather than a town centre. Garforth has a Tesco supermarket, The Original Factory Shop department store, several pubs in the town centre, a Co-operative, and several other shops such as newsagents, charity shops, travel agents and banks. There is also a large ex-catalogue shop. Garforth also has civic amenities such as a library and a One Stop Centre run by Leeds City Council. A relatively new appearance on Garforth Main Street is the Baraka Coffee House, which gives all of its profits back to projects in the town, functioning as a Social Enterprise.

Garforth has eight traditional public houses and a number of social/affiliated clubs. The pubs are Miller & Carter Steakhouse (Formerly The Old George), The Gaping Goose, The Bird in Hand, The Newmarket Inn, The Miners Arms, The Lord Gascoigne, The Podger and The Crusader. Some locals refer to these pubs as the "Garforth Gallon".
