There’s been some serious foodie favourites coming out of Meanwood recently.
The little Leeds suburb has attracted attention from national papers, being dubbed one of the UK’s top 15 coolest neighbourhoods by The Telegraph and more recently included in the 30 things we love in the world of food right now from The Guardian.
One of the major pulls for the suburb is clearly the foodie offerings, and whilst there’s plenty of places to slumber down, grab a seat and a Sunday Roast, Braizin’ Squad inside Boot and Rally is officially one of the best, according to the Rate Good Roasts Guide 2023.
Taking a very respectable 14th place, Braizin’ Squad, who took over the kitchen inside Boot & Rally in Meanwood late last year, and are now temporarily taking over Number 8 Cocktails in the same suburb, hasn’t been in the Leeds foodie scene for long, but has certainly left an impression.
Every week there’s a slightly different menu, but no matter when you pop down you’ll be full to the brim- and dreaming about each course long after you’ve visited.
The herb-stuffed porchetta with a slow-braised pig cheek served in jus is an all-round crowdpleaser. Perfectly cooked with a soft yet crispy texture oozing with flavour, between this and the gorgeous served-pink grilled beef rump cap, any meat eater will agree that this roast really is a feast for the senses.
Although each roast comes with a huge Yorkshire pud, grilled seasonal veggies and roast potatoes, the sides are well worth adding for those looking to add extra flavours to the classic weekend treat.
There’s smoked mash, a proper cheesy cauliflower cheese and a seasonal special serving of sprouts with either fig chutney or ox cheek marmalade to add- either as individual portions or grab the lot and share between your company.

To complete that cosy, wintry feeling that we all need on a cold weekend, the basement serving space inside Boot and Rally bar is lit by fairy lights and candles inside spirit glasses, with low sofas and board games to allow you to truly forget reality and hideaway with great food in a truly hidden space.
You can find Brazin’ Squad inside Number 8 Cocktails on Meanwood Road serving up Sunday Roasts every Sunday 12-6pm during March.
