The best meal of the week now comes as a huge sharing portion with everything that roast dinner dreams are made of, and plenty more.
The new Sunday roast sharing platter from Gusto Italian on Greek Street comes with a selection of generous portions of three (yes, three) meats.
We're talking slices of perfectly-cooked beef sirloin, roasted chicken, strips of juicy porchetta-style pork belly with all the crispy bits and crackling, plus a skillet of three meat ragù shepherd’s pie with the most delicious mash potato topping- and that’s just the meaty helpings.
Elsewhere on the giant sharing board there’s more than enough veggies to grab your five a day.
Crispy, soft and all-round drool-worthy roast potatoes are piled high with winter greens, braised red cabbage, a skillet of seriously cheesy cauliflower carbonara cheese served piping hot and those all-important Yorkshire puds with a huge jug of gravy to finish it all off.

You’ll fill up two full plates and still have extra helpings left on the platter, this is seriously one for sharing.
Coming in at £42.95, the sharing board is piled higher than your average roast and the perfect alternative to the classic Sunday dinner.
And it’s not just limited to two people either, for an additional cost of £21.95 per person, you can add in extra servings to make your sharer stretch even further.
If you’re not a meat-eater or fancy something a little different, there’s also plenty of classic roast dinner options with one meat with roasties and veggies, or the mushroom pie is the ultimate crowd pleaser- crisp on the outside, soft on the inside and bursting with flavour!
After making a name for itself over in Leeds city centre, Alfonso's Deli 2.0 has touched down in Horsforth.
Famed for it’s toasted Cuban sandwiches, stacked subs and loaded breakfast bagels - Alfonso's Deli in Leeds' beautiful Grand Arcade serve up some of the best sandwiches in the city.
They've built up such a good reputation in fact, that they have now opened a second deli in the up-and-coming suburb of Horsforth.
Located in a prime location on New Side Road, this deli has a slightly different look to their original space, complete with a beautiful red awning and stuffed to the brim with American memorabilia.

Here you can find fresh Cuban coffee which goes wonderfully with their authentic toasted Cubano sandwiches, perfectly crafted with their house-made bread which are then pressed made-to-order.
New for Horsforth, they're now serving New York deli sandwiches on brand-new house schiacciata bread.
And the bread is as fresh as it gets, made in their own bakery downstairs alongside a selection of New York deli bakes.

‘This recognition belongs to you’ – Leeds restaurant added to the Michelin Guide just months after opening
Clementine Hall
A newcomer to the Leeds foodie scene has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide.
You may remember back in April when a Leeds icon was reborn under a different name.
The Smithfield took over the site that was home to The Reliance for more than two decades, and it's safe to say it exceeded expectations.
The team transformed the site to its former glory, taking the site's exterior back to its memorable dark red. But the efforts to recapture the essence of the iconic old venue go way beyond that.

The Smithfield, a collaboration between Crooked Brewing and Chef James Donovan, offers simple dining with seasonal food and natural wines.
It's the sort of place where you can rock up for a plate and a glass people watching through the huge window on North Street, or really get stuck into a sharing pie and chips with friends on a Saturday afternoon.
Either way we love it, and it seems we're not the only ones as The Smithfield has been added to the Michelin Guide just five months after opening.

Announcing the great news to Instagram, The Smithfield said: "We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.
"To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

"Thank you to our wonderful guests for your continued support. Also, huge thanks to our brilliant team. The Smithfield is what it is because of your hard work, enthusiasm, energy and diligence. This recognition belongs to you.
"We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene. The Smithfield."
