From the masterminds behind Doh'hut comes Things In Bread, your new city centre sandwich shop ready to satisfy all your lunchtime cravings.
When it was announced back in September 2022 that Doh'hut were expanding into the savoury offerings, we simply could not contain our excitement.
Having eagerly awaited their opening date since then, you best believe we were first in line to sample their sandwiches when they opened last Friday.
And of course they did not disappoint, Things In Bread are serving up sandwiches the way they should be. One thing's for sure, we won't be picking up a bog standard supermarket meal deal any time soon.
Their concept is simple, classic sandwiches made to order using their signature freshly baked bread.
We spoke to the owner Tom Stafford who explained that the menu is based off your classic meal deal selection with familiar flavours such as ham and cheese, egg and cress, BLT and roast chicken salad all up for grabs.

But these sandwiches are so much more than meets the eye, the flavours are elevated to the highest degree with only the freshest ingredients used, and the sarnie artists behind the counter certainly don't skimp on the fillings.
The real star of the show though is the bread. Their signature Shokupan milk loaf is specifically designed to create the perfect sandwich: crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside and satisfyingly square. We haven't stopped thinking about that bread since we took our first delicious bite.

And it's not just lunchtime where you can get your chops around these sandwiches, stop by in the morning from 8-10am for an epic breakfast that will no doubt set you up for the day ahead.
The Full Breaky features Lishman's sausages and bacon, free range omelette and gooey American cheese which makes for a brekkie only fit for kings. They also have a vegan sausage sarnie on offer so if you're more veggie inclined, you don't have to miss out.
And of course your lunchtime fix isn't complete without a drink and a packet of crisps, which they obviously have in abundance. Pick your sandwich, your preferred bag of Pipers crisps and your drink from 'Things in Fridge', it truly is a one stop shop to make all your lunching dreams come true.

"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.”
