It looks like vegans in Huddersfield are in for a treat as one of the best vegan junk food spots in the country has confirmed it'll be opening a site in the city next month.
Voted one of the top 10 venues of its kind in the UK, Doner Summer specialises in delicious vegan kebabs served on soft, pillowy Turkish flatbreads.
Elsewhere on the menu you'll find loaded fries, big fat butties, tater tots and burgers - all laden with delicious sauces and topped with colourful additions like herbs and pickles.
Everything here is 100% vegan, from the 'chick'n' to their sashimi, and some of the creations are absolutely mind-bending in the way they circumvent traditional expectations.

The vegan junk food brand already has sites in Leeds, York, Manchester and Hull. Its owners are a big fan of Huddersfield, having done many events in the city, so the move seemed like an obvious choice.
Sharing the news to their Instagram page, Doner Summer said: "We’re beyond excited to announce that our next location is HUDDERSFIELD! We’ve done many events in the past here and we absolutely LOVE the town.
"We’re keeping the exact location a secret for now. But it’s right in the centre of town and trust us, it’ll be worth the wait!
"We’re on track to open mid to late July and are on the hunt for a full time kitchen manager and full and part time Kitchen assistants."
"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
Luxury Leeds steakhouse to undergo huge £1.2 million renovation
Clementine Hall
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
