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.

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.
The foodie-favourite restaurant and bar is now under new management.
The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that Woodside has sadly been closed for a few months.
We certainly have, and ever since December we've had a Woodside Sunday roast-shaped hole in our hearts that's been gasping for one of their glorious Marmite glazed parsnips.
But luckily, it has now been confirmed that Woodside isn't going anywhere as Superfriendz, the team behind Headrow House, Belgrave and many other top Leeds spots will be taking over. Hallelujah.

Woodside opened at the end of 2024 from the owners of The Brunswick and The Melbourne.
Labelling itself as a 'neighbourhood eatery and bar', Woodside quickly became a favourite amongst Leeds foodies and was known for its smoked meats, great cocktails and stellar Sunday roasts (do I need to talk about the parsnips again).
The menu was fresh and innovative, with oysters topped with kiwi granita and an incredibly garish banana split standing out as highlights.

We hope that the new management continues to maintain Woodside's brilliance, but mainly we're just so glad that it's sticking around.
Superfriendz take care of a whole host of spots in the city, including proper Leeds favourites Headrow House, Belgrave Music Hall and Waterlane Boathouse.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Woodside said: "After a longer-than-expected winter break, Woodside is back and will reopen on Thursday 19th March!
"Your favourite neighbourhood bar and eatery returns with the same warm welcome, but an all new management team.
"We can’t wait to see you so keep your eyes on our socials for news on great food and drinks, big screen sports, quizzes and more.
"We’d also like to thank Sam and the original team for all the hard work that went into setting-up the venue. We hope we can do it justice."
Horsforth Brewery to takeover and save beloved Ilkley tap house
Clementine Hall
A renowned brewery have announced that they will be taking over the reigns of a popular craft beer bottle shop in Ilkley.
Fuggle & Golding opened in 2015 on Leeds road in Ilkley and quickly grew a loyal following with locals and visitors alike.
Sadly they announced last month that their last day of trading would be Saturday 28 February, news which was met with huge disappointment.
However this is no longer the case, as Horsforth Brewery is set to reopen the venue on Wednesday. Hooray!
Announcing the welcomed news to Instagram, Horsforth Brewery wrote: "When we saw they were going to close we were determined to not lose another great venue from the local beer scene.
"We owe a massive thank you to George and the landlord for getting a deal across the line in quick order.
"We’re going to take a few days to put our stamp on the place and then we will be open on Wednesday!"
"Obviously we will be stocking our beers here but as anyone who knows will know, we love the beer scene so we will continue to have a good amount of guest beer on as well. We’ll even been joining in with the biggest beer launches from around the country.
"Want to know the best news? We’re doing this solo. No outside interests, no investors, no debt. In the current climate being able to organically grow like this is so so hard and it’s thanks to all our team that we’ve been able to do this.
"We’ve always been determined to grow our business in a healthy and sustainable way; it may have (absolutely has) been tough over the years but we’ve got ourselves in a position to take us to the next level in a sustainable way."
