A well-known Leeds city centre independent bar and nightlife venue is launching an exclusive weekly deal with 50% off bao buns every Monday.
Loved for their unique cocktails offerings and impressive Chinese cuisine, Leeds late-night vendor Power, Corruption & Lies has launched a brand-new foodie offer.
This independent venue is offering you the chance to try its flavour-packed dough-pillows, more commonly referred to as bao buns for half price on a Monday.
The new promotion aptly labelled ‘Buns N’ Gyozas’ gives you the chance to take advantage of a huge 50% off the bar’s huge bao bun and dim sum range as well as bottles of prosecco from £20.
There’s something for everyone for try from the braised ox cheek to the char siu pork, as well as something for vegans and veggies with the panko oyster mushroom and kung pao tofu bao buns.
This deal isn’t limited to this menu item either, this Leeds independent bar is also slashing the prices of its dim sum offerings too which include a pork and kimchi gyoza and vegan chicken kastu too.
Power, Corruption & Lies are always on hand to serve up some colourful and fruity cocktails as well as some seriously tasty scran, all of which tastes even better when it’s 50% off, yum.
If you love a fluffy handheld cloud of flavour-packed joy in one hand and a glass of prosecco in the other, this deal was made for you.
Did we also mention that this bar is situated in Leeds’ prime nighttime spot Call Lane and when you pay them a visit they’re usually blasting out 80’s tunes and disco classics - name a better night out, we’ll wait.
This all new promotion titled ‘Buns N’ Gyozas’ is taking place at Power, Corruption & Lies on Call Lane in Leeds City Centre every Monday from 5pm onwards.
One of the city's best independents is expanding into a bigger premises.
Shokupan on Wellington Street is a proper little gem that food-lovers across Leeds will rave nonstop about if given the opportunity.
Husband and wife team Alan and Alison took inspiration from trips around the world to bring a taste of Japan to the city and over the past few years it's gained a loyal following.
They're famed for their delicious Japanese sandos made with pillow-like fluffy shokupan bread, stuffed with everything from crunchy chicken katsu and flavourful pork to fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
But it's not all just about sandwiches, they also serve rice bowls and katsu curries as well as small bites such as chicken karaage and octopus balls.
Their food is so bloody good, that they've had to find a better location and this time it's slap bang in the city centre on Central Road.
And they're joining brilliant company too, with the likes of House of Koko and Vinyl Grounds as neighbours.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Shokupan said: "You guessed right…we are moving to Central Road, LS1 6DE. We are nearly there…

"All the building work is complete and now we are finishing off the decorating. You might also start to see some signage appearing over the next few days…It has been lovely seeing some of our customers dropping by to see us whilst we slowly lose our sanity.
"Powered on caffeine and determination! Not long to go before we can announce our opening date and welcome you through the doors."
We can't wait to check out the new space, keep an eye on their opening date here.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this August
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this August.
