Trinity Kitchen is turning up the heat this summer with an irresistible new lineup of street food delights.
Fancy mixing up your usual office lunch? Well, look no further than Trinity Kitchen.
Offering an eclectic mix of vendors, hungry customers this season can expect everything from fluffy bao buns and Irish space bags to deep fried lasagna.
They'll be sticking around until the end of September, so you've got plenty of time to make your way down and try each and every one of them
So, let's take a look at who's in Trinity Kitchen then...
Deep Fried Lasagne Van

From the legends behind Stuzzi comes the triumphant return of the deep fried lasagne van. And it's just as epic as it sounds.
Top of the list? Their brand-new lasagna sando. Two fluffy, bouncy slices of bread hugging a slab of crispy, deep-fried Stuzzi lasagne. It’s the combo we didn’t know we needed, but now can’t stop thinking about.
It’s carbs on carbs on carbs - and we’re here for every single bite.
I Love Brioche

This new van are serving up a myriad of all of our favourite things: fried chicken, brioche and waffles.
It may sounds like a strange combo, but trust us it absolutely works. Stacked fried chicken sarnies made with fluffy brioche alongside perfectly crunchy waffles loaded with all the sauces. Delicious.
Doles Dirty Bags

If you don’t know, the almighty spice bag is an Irish delicacy that is often devoured after a few Guinness on the cobbled streets of Dublin, for example.
Consisting of shredded chicken, chips, onions and peppers – all deep fried, loaded into a bag and tossed in lashings of salt and pepper seasoning. It’s really really class.
And now you can get your hands on one in Trinity Kitchen, courtesy of Doles Dirty Bags. You're welcome.

Grab a taste of Asia at Bao Machine, who specialise in well...bao. These delicious fluffy buns are stuffed to the brim with all the fillings such as crispy and saucy chicken bites and tofu covered in a sweet and spicy sauce.

Last but not least is Masriwho are showcasing their Egyptian street food. Serving up Koshary which is a traditional Egyptian staple made up of pasta, fried rice vermicelli and brown lentils topped with chickpeas and a garlicky tomato sauce, alongside succulent Ribeye Kebabs and smashed falafel burgers - it’s one not to be missed.
If it's good enough for Anton Stach, then it's good enough for us.
Well, it really is the signing that nobody saw coming...and it’s happening right opposite the station.
Meat:Stack, the Newcastle-born, award-winning burger joint on Bishopgate Street in Leeds, is giving the people what they want - a burger with Anton Stach’s name on it.
Introducing ‘The Moustachi Burger', officially launching Tuesday 18 August where Anton Stach himself will be down at Meat:Stack to meet United fans, sign autographs and, of course, tuck into his very own creation.

Even better, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Elhadj Diouf Foundation (EDF), a charity chosen by Stach that supports children through education.
Not only that, but it's a great opportunity to support Meat:Stack that has been suffering from the ongoing road works for months on end now.
So really, you've got no excuse to come down and tuck into the special which will be available through the opening weeks of the season.
Anton Stach, Leeds United and Germany midfielder, added: “Leeds has felt like home from very early on, and a lot of that is the people and the places around the ground, the businesses fans go to before and after a game. Meat:Stack is one of them, and they’ve had a hard time with the building work on their doorstep. The Moustachi Burger is a lovely nod to my YouTube channel too.
"This is a team on the rise in a city on the comeback, and support has to go both ways. I wanted to back a business Leeds fans care about and raising money for a foundation my family has given so much to at the same time means everything. I’ll be there on the 18th, bring your appetite.”
Independent Leeds coffee shop crowned one of the UK’s best for 2026
Clementine Hall
A list of the UK's best independent coffee shops for 2026 has been released, and one in Leeds has come up trumps.
The coffee shop in question may come as no surprise to some of you, as some would say that after 15 years in the city it's become somewhat of an institution.
Of course it's none other than Laynes.
Founded in 2011 by Dave Olejnik, Laynes began life on New Station Street and quickly became one of the first venues in Leeds to focus on carefully sourced and roasted coffee beans, helping lead the way for the city's now-thriving independent coffee scene.

It's a proper Leeds staple at this point, sat proudly with its glowing yellow exterior and queues out the door full of punters looking for their morning caffeine fix.
But it's not just us who think it's flipping fantastic, as a new study has revealed the top 10 most popular independent coffee shops in the country and Laynes comes in at a very respectable number 8.
The list, made by Capital on Tap, analysed coffee across the UK looking at Google reviews, monthly searches and social media success.
Laynes was in some pretty good company including Idle Hands in Manchester and Kaf Coffee in Glasgow. But most importantly, none of the top 10 were in London - make of that what you will.
The top 10 most popular independent coffee shops for 2026:
Neighbourhood Café, Belfast
Colonna & Small’s, Bath
Established Coffee, Belfast
Hard Lines Coffee, Cardiff
Rough Handmade, Liverpool
Idle Hands Coffee, Manchester
Full Court Press, Bristol
Laynes Espresso, Leeds
Kaf Coffee, Glasgow
Dom’s Coffee, Cambridge
Bravo Laynes, a well earned accolade for one of our favourite spots in the city.
