I've recently had some work done to the car following a small accident. The Front left suspension and steering Rods and bits have been replaced. The steering has felt a little different (perhaps a bit firmer) but has been driving straight so I've not been too worried.

However today I had a passenger in the car and noticed the car was pulling to the left slightly. I had to have the steering about 5-10 degrees to the right for the car to drive straight.

Could this just be wheel alignment? Is this likely to be more pronounced with extra weight in the car?

could be down to the extra causing the car to follow the camber of the road. However if you've recently had some suspension work done recently, it might be worth getting the steering geometry checked for peace of mind, could help you stop any uneven wear of your tyres
