The ultimate food card gives one person unlimited free food for an entire year.
If you're looking for a hearty lunch whilst out shopping in Trinity, there really is only one place to head for a crowd-pleaser lunch that even the fussiest of eaters love.
Trinity Kitchen is famed for its unique food traders, including the ever-changing residencies inside the likes of VW camper vans and horse boxes, each converted for a kitchen-use.

One of the staple foodies at Trinity is Rola Wala, who specialise in fresh and healthy Indian-inspired meals. Open since 2014, the restaurant has gained fans like pop star Rita Ora and BBC chef, Rachel Khoo over the years- and now the eatery are giving you the chance to have a celebrity-status when dining in Trinity Kitchen.
Essentially, a black card is a sign of being a 'top fan' of a food or drinks vendor that gives you unlimited free food.
Nandos 'High Five' black card, as seen from the likes of Stormzy and Ed Sheeran started the trend and the concept has since become a national phenomenon.
Rola Wala is becoming the latest restaurant to join the rather exclusive club of black card holders in Leeds and they're giving customers a chance to win one for themselves whilst they dine in-store or at home.

Throughout March, every customer order will be entered into a prize draw: it's as simple as that.
Rola Wala has partnered with Deliveroo to offer the winner unlimited free food for an entire year, plus the chance to be one of the first to try out their new Indian street food menu.
The new launches include delicious flavours like Super-Hot Scorpion chutney, plant-powered 'Thali Triple' bowl, wholemeal naan and a full range of new salads and drinks too.
Of course, all their regulars will be on the menu. Think naan bread rolls packed with chicken tikka, sweet potato saag, meatball rogan josh or even paneer with cookies, Kombucha and poppadums aplenty- and mostly all under 500 calories.
Gail's has finally set its sights on Yorkshire for the first time, with a new bakery set to open this year.
It's one of the UK's most famous bakeries, launching in London in the early 1990s to supply restaurants, before opening its first retail site and cafe in Hampstead in 2005.
Gail's founders set out on a mission to bake bread as it used to be baked: by hand, using quality ingredients and time-worn artisanal methods.
While Gail's has expanded aggressively into the north, opening around a dozen bakeries in Greater Manchester and its surrounds, it hasn't made the journey across to Yorkshire just yet.
All that looks set to change, with job ads now listed for roles within a brand-new Yorkshire branch of Gail's.
Based on the job advert, Gail's is heading straight to the spa town of Harrogate - which is a fairly predictable move.
It looks like Gail's is heading for HarrogateGail's will make its Yorkshire debut
It had previously been reported that Gail's would be going to Knaresborough, but the job posting appears to hint that Harrogate will be the first Yorkshire location.
When it does open, you'll find loaf choices including classic white and brown sourdough, Gail’s ‘wasteless’ loaves (made using a specially-created recipe designed to incorporate unsold bread crumbs), alongside seeded varieties, baguettes and batons.
Must-tries include Gail’s famous cinnamon buns, still-warm cheese and ham croissants, chocolate chip cookies, and – given the weather we’re having this week – iced coffees, all day long preferably please.
But given the number of fantastic local bakeries all over Yorkshire, the question is, does anyone want Gail's?
‘Historic’ moment as UK passes bill to ban everyone born after 2008 from smoking
Emily Sergeant
The UK has now passed a bill to ban everyone born after 2008 from ever buying tobacco products.
It's been a long time coming, but in what is being described as a 'historic' moment, the final draft of the landmark Tobacco and Vapes Bill completed its journey through the Houses of Commons and Lords yesterday (21 April 2026), and is now on its way to receiving royal assent to officially become the law.
For those unfamiliar, the Tobacco and Vapes Bill will stop people who were born on or after 1 January 2009 from ever taking up smoking.
It will also give Government ministers new powers to regulate tobacco, vaping, and nicotine products – including their flavours and packaging, which make them more appealing to younger generations.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting has hailed the bill's passing as a 'historic moment for the nation's health' on the road to creating a smoke-free generation.

"Children in the UK will be part of the first smoke-free generation, protected from a lifetime of addiction and harm," Mr Streeting said after the bill was passed this week.
"Prevention is better than cure. This reform will save lives, ease pressure on the NHS, and build a healthier Britain."
The ban on purchasing tobacco products for those born after 2008 was first mooted by Rishi Sunak's Conservative Government a number of years back, but was eventually shelved ahead of the 2024 General Election, and then revived again by Labour when they took power.
The bill's passing parliament has been welcomed by charities and campaign groups - most notably Cancer Research UK.
"This is a historic achievement that will shield our children from the devastating grip of tobacco addiction and help to put an end to cancers caused by smoking," concluded Michelle Mitchell, who is the Chief Executive Officer at Cancer Research.
