We're craving is hot gravy dinners - preferably with a Yorkshire pudding on the side.
Whilst we know Leeds loves a bottomless brunch, we confess that all this hankering for gravy has got us thinking about bottomless roasts instead. Fortunately, Leeds has these in spades too - so we've gone and put together the best, just in case anyone else is feeling similarly.
Keep reading to discover where to find a top-notch bottomless Sunday roast in Leeds.

Whilst it seems pretty easy to find a Sunday roast in Leeds with bottomless booze, finding bottomless meat is another task entirely. Lucky for you, we've done it.
Gaucho's never-ending roast gives diners 90 minutes of endless meat, Yorkshire puddings, gravy and veggies for just £37.
Available from 12 to 5pm on Sundays, there is a choice of three different joints, all originating from Argentinian, premium Black-Angus cattle, bred at hand-selected farms in the southern province of La Pampa, South America.
Meat is cooked in its own drippings, then served on boards with crispy roast potatoes, glazed carrots, buttered greens and Yorkshire puddings.
Neighbourhood is another Leeds venue giving you the option to go bottomless with your Sunday roast. Roasts are served every Sunday from noon, with choices like Roast Topside Beef, Roast Chicken Breast or Zucchini & Cashew Bake with roast potatoes, mash potatoes, a huge Yorkshire pudding, parsnips, carrots, cabbage and the best part - bottomless gravy.
Every Sunday for a full 90 minutes enjoy bottomless Prosecco, gin, pink gin, vodka, rum, seasonal cocktails and beer with your roast for £38. Now that’s what we call a Sunday Funday at Neighbourhood.
Crafthouse is up there with some of the swankiest in the city. Sat up high with stunning views across Leeds (and with a sister cocktail bar, Angelica, right upstairs), if you're looking to impress this is the spot.
The restaurant offers a bottomless Sunday roast set menu with two courses for £25 or three for £30. On top of that, you can opt for 90 minutes of 'free flowing' red wine or prosecco for an additional £25.
Mains choices span traditional roast beef and lamb dishes with all the trimmings; pan fried chicken breast with garlic kiev, thyme hash browns, maitake mushrooms and herb emulsion, as well as roasted parsnip risotto and cod schnitzel.
Elsewhere on the menu you'll find Lindesfarne oysters, torched mackerel, chicken terrine, strawberry Eton mess and a selection of cheeses.
Bottomless at Mad Frans is available all day Sunday until 5 pm, priced at £29.95 for a main and 90 minutes of unlimited drinks.
Roast-wise, think Yorkshire-reared beef sirloin, pigs in blankets, stuffing, roast vegetables, greens, giant Yorkies and roasties - as well as plenty of gravy of course. Alternatively, if you're not feeling the beef you could always go for some turkey instead. It's entirely up to you.
Silver's Bakehouse is finally here, and it's just as fabulous as we'd hoped.
Just when you thought Leeds’ favourite sandwich spot couldn't get any better, they go and open a bakery.
Silver's Bakehouse has opened its beautiful pastel green doors today over in Farsley to queues of excited fans eager to get their first taste.
So, what's on offer at Silver's Bakehouse?

Well, as masterminds of the almighty sandwich you'll be happy to know you can still get one here. However, their iconic sub sarnies have had an Italian makeover and are now served in fresh, springy sourdough which is baked onsite.
Elsewhere on the menu you'll find brown butter buttermilk brownies (try saying that three times), a range of delicious cookies, sausage rolls, soft amaretti biscuits and Dark Arts tiramisu.
There's also a fab selection of Italian drinks on offer in a swanky new fridge, as well as a coffee menu so you can pick a brew to go hand in hand with your chosen baked good.

The interior is just as gorgeous, complete with yellow walls, red tiles and a mirror hanging above the baker's table so you can really see all the magic happen.
And trust us, it is magic.
There's a couple of benches outside so you can plonk yourself in the sunshine to enjoy your sarnie, which is what we'll be doing in this glorious bank holiday sunshine.

You can really tell this is a proper labour of love, and Chris and the team have done a cracking job of keeping that Silver's spirit in there.
Go and say hello to congratulate them on this fabulous new opening, it's a great addition to Farsley and the Leeds foodie scene.
The beautiful West Yorkshire valley walk that ends at a top gastropub
Daisy Jackson
If your idea of a perfect Sunday doesn't involve a stroll in the countryside followed by lunch in a country pub - we can't be friends.
And if that does sound like your idea of a very nice day out, we've found a pretty spectacular walk-roast combo for you, right here in West Yorkshire.
You can start your day by strolling through surprisingly varied and very green countryside, with stunning valley views, before resting your weary legs beneath the table of an award-winning gastropub.
If you haven't guessed it yet - we're off to the Shibden Valley, just outside Halifax, where your gentle hike will lead you straight to the warm embrace of the Shibden Mill Inn.
The walk begins in the car park beside the pub, but don't get tempted in for a pint just yet.
There's an easy-moderate 5.6km circular that will lead you along a country lane, dropping down to cross a brook, then heading back up a gentle incline towards the top of the valley.
The views along the Shibden Valley from here are beautiful - lush green fields dotted with trees as far as the eye can see.
Then the route takes you along some wide open fields, with plenty of wildlife to spot along the way, before heading into peaceful woodlands.
You can take a break here to paddle in the stream before continuing on through farmland, with friendly horses to say hello to.

Then you'll find yourself back at the Shibden Mill Inn, a pub that's consistently finding itself in the prestigious Top 50 Gastropubs list.
Dating back to the 17th century, it's a pretty white building converted from a former mill, with ivy climbing all up its walls.
There's a sizeable beer garden - with a live musician playing when we popped in - but it's hard to resist the cosy charm of the pub's interior, where staff have to duck beneath the low ceiling beams and no surface feels totally straight.
The Shibden Mill Inn's Sunday roast offering does a set menu, with two courses for £40 or three for £45, changing seasonally.
You'll find pub classics on the starters, like chicken liver parfait and homemade soup, before delving into the main event - the Sunday roast.
We love a pub that gives you both mashed AND roasted potatoes, which the Shibden Mill Inn does, along with roast seasonal veg and a towering Yorkshire pudding.

There's roasted salt-aged sirloin of beef, cooked perfectly pink (though they're happy to give it a bit longer if you prefer your meat to not be blushing); or an excellent wedge of belly pork with crispy crackling.
And on the side, a portion of cauliflower cheese that is actually more cheese than cauliflower. Perfect.
Puddings are a nice mix of heavy winter favourites and lighter, fruitier desserts - but we go full stodge, with a chocolate fondant dessert topped with torched marshmallow, salted caramel, and sugared pecans, and have no regrets.
If you want to replicate this Sunday walk and roast, you can see the full circular route here.
