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."

Now you're talking our language.
Souvlaki Corner told The Hoot: "We’re excited to confirm that Souvlaki Corner will be opening a new site in Morley, Leeds. Our targeted opening is in around four weeks, although we don’t have an exact opening date yet and will confirm this closer to the launch.
"One of the highlights of the new restaurant will be a traditional Greek spit where we will cook whole lamb in the proper Greek way. It will be cooked over charcoal to give the authentic Greek flavour that people would experience in Greece.

"Our chefs are Greek, bringing authentic knowledge and experience from Greece. The interior design will also reflect the style of the Greek islands, so when people visit they will feel like they are stepping into a little part of Greece."
They continued: "Souvlaki Corner was created to bring authentic Greek street food to Leeds, focusing on freshly grilled souvlaki, gyros, and traditional flavours served quickly and affordably. Since launching our first location, the response from customers has been fantastic, and Morley felt like the natural next step as we continue to grow."
