Food Scene

Leeds has grub to satisfy every appetite. Try something new or stick with your tried and tested favourites – there are budget eats on every corner.

  • Food markets – Pick and mix your favourite dishes and cuisines at Trinity Kitchen or Kirkgate Market. From Indian curries to Mexican burritos, the world’s your oyster.

  • Sunday carvery – Indulge in a classic British roast at one of Leeds’s many gastropubs. The Brunswick and Meanwood’s Beck and Call serve two of the best-rated roasts in the city.

Weekend Activities

Once you’ve done eating, drinking and soaking up the culture, relax and unwind with a weekend of fun.

  • Day trips – Leeds is the perfect hub to explore the Yorkshire Dales from. Hop on a bus on train from the city centre to popular scenic destinations like Haworth, Ilkley Moor and Bolton Abbey.
  • Group games – From escape rooms to classic crazy golf, Leeds has no shortage of fun entertainment options. Check out Roxy Ballroom, Whistle Punks or Electric Shuffle for shuffleboard, bowling, axe throwing and more.
