There's a pub in Leeds whose owners love Yorkshire puddings so much, they eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Wapentake on Kirkgate dishes up pub staples in a cosy space, serving up the ultimate Yorkshire scran as an optional extra for every dish on its breakfast, brunch and Sunday lunch menu.

Popular menu staples include their 'Yorkshire breakfast' and breakfast hash, but there are also some super-northern additions - like crisp butties, Yorkshires with gravy, and stuffed Yorkshire puds.
The dedicated Yorkshire pudding dishes are what's really got us excited - like their breakfast Yorkshire puddings, which come filled with baked eggs, crispy bacon bits and Henderson’s relish.

Other must-tries include their Yorkshire pudding burgers, which come slathered in gravy and garnished with a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Available as a meaty or vegan option, these look beyond incredible - served with chunky hand-cut chips on the side.
Or, of course, if you really want the ultimate Yorkshire experience you could always spring for their roast on. a Sunday. The presentation on these makes it all about Yorkshire again: perfectly fluffy, large puds stacked on top of your main and its accoutrements.

As well as serving up Yorkshires a-plenty, there's so much more to be discovered here too - not least a brilliant selection of craft ales and beers, many of them brewed right here in Yorkshire.
There's also a solid coffee menu if you're at a loose end in the day, with some tasty home-baked options like fruit loaf, brownies and blondies to be enjoyed alongside.
Tea, meanwhile, is, of course, Yorkshire (gold or decaf) or Taylor's of Harrogate. We wouldn't have it any other way, PG tips is beyond sacrilege.
Wapentake has to be the most Yorkshire spot in Leeds - and based on their Instagram, it's about to get a whole lot busier after they posted that local Youtuber Danny Malin was down recently trying their aforementioned Yorkshire pudding burger.
The finale of The Celebrity Traitors is hitting our TV screens next Friday, and there’s a big screening party happening in Leeds especially for it.
Don't panic guys, it's happening.
Fancy sitting down to watch one of the cultural events of the year on a big screen with dozens of others who are just as invested in the show as you are? Well, now you can.
And that’s because Belgrave Music Hall, one of the city’s most beloved event spaces and bars, will be hosting a finale watching party and we’re all invited.
Taking place next Friday 23 January, fans of The Traitors are invited to watch the finale which kicks off 9pm in the canteen.
Best part? The tickets are absolutely free and we've no doubt there'll be some banging drink deals on to get the party started.
We’re already searching our wardrobes for an item of clothing that remotely resembles a cloak.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Belgrave said: "The world famous Traitors finale screening is back at Belgrave! In the past we've been graced with the presence of OG Faithful @theomayne1, plus our Clauds has been known to make an appearance (please scroll for evidence)... twists and turns are promised 👀"
So to give this series of The Traitors a proper send off, get yourself to Belgrave Music Hall from 6pm and enjoy a few beverages with like minded fans whilst screaming at the screen as Claudia makes her way into the frame.
Whilst we're on the topic, has anyone got an incredibly glossy black fringed wig we could borrow?

Hollywood Vampires formed in 2012, named after Cooper’s celebrity drinking club of the same name where the aim was reportedly to ‘drink until no one could stand up’.
Over the years, the supergroup has worked with the likes of Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, and Zak Starkey (formerly the drummer for Oasis).
A Three Presale for tickets will take place from 10am on Wednesday 21 January, followed by a venue presale on Thursday 22 January, then general sale from 10am on Friday 23 January.
