This time, Belgrave has picked up on our keen attempts at Veganuary and are hosting a vegan feast for all- and have found the finest vegan chefs around to serve up.
Here's what to expect this Saturday at the Music Hall and Canteen.
Dough Boys are always there when we need them most- often at 11pm after too many pints and not enough food. Grab pizza by the slice this veganuary and test out delicious combinations like What's the Quack? - a vegan duck pizza, and more.
There will also be a Dough Babies session during the vegan feast so that all the family can get involved in the cooking process.
The company shared heartwarming images from their previous Dough Babies session, stating that Dough Babies is "a free drop-in class for little 'uns to get really creative with their pizza toppings! They can absolutely choose whatever crazy combination they like from the selection available, we'll then finish them off in the oven before they can eat/take home for tea".

Little chefs are invited to head over to Belgrave between 11am and 12pm. There's no need to book in advance, just turn up and create some tasty pizzas just in time for lunch.
The Spicy Biker will be on hand to serve authentic Indian cuisine. Inspired by their mother's kitchen with a spicy biker twist, expect everything from bhaji boxes to curries, chaat bombs and samosa.
The talent behind Kuala Lumpur Cafe in Headingley will be sharing a culinary trip to Malaysia that's a feast for all the senses. With their signature dish Nasi Lemak featured on Masterchef and a published cookbook from their head chef, Norman Musa- expect flavours aplenty.
Baking hot vegan treats, Black Day Bakes is the baker behind cafe favourites like biscoff s'mores brookies at Fika North and more. Expect lineup bigger than Leeds fest from Crystal Black who runs everything from the baking to the social media. We're thinking brownies, cakes and cookies- but the baker hasn't announced the selection available on the day just yet.
Burgers from Patty Smith

The Leafeater (pictured above) is just one of the burgers that Patty Smith's have chosen to create after choosing to go vegan for January 2022. Available every day from Belgrave, we all know and love Patty's menu or delicious burgers and huge fries platters but this weekend, but their vegan menu is set to offer a taste of plant-based goodness at the vegan feast this week too.
For the rest of the afternoon, guests can take advantage of free arts, crafts and soft play upstairs in the Snug 11am - 4pm on Saturday 8 January 2022.

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.
