If there's one deal that should be on any menu, it's a Wings Wednesday one.
They're the best sports bar snack and when over 100 million pounds of chicken wings were eaten over the Super Bowl weekend, even back in 2012, you know that they're just too finger-lickin' good. These days, you'll find chicken wings on the menu just about anywhere- and for good reason.
The best offers always come around on a Wednesday- well, because Wings Wednesday has a nice ring to it and because we all need a midweek pick-me-up.
So where can you go for said wings? Glad you asked, here's our top picks...
Yard & Coop

The kings of fried chicken know how to get us through the door. On offer, there's 10p chicken wings in the bar every single day. Conveniently as they're shut on a Monday and Tuesday, that means your Yard & Coop week starts with 10p Wings Wednesday if you're snacking at the bar. Plus, if you order a main meal, you get a side of chicken wings free of charge every Wednesday night.
Two vegan and a carnivore all walked into a bar. One of the vegans wanted chicken wings that taste like meat, the other wanted a plant-based alternative. The meat-eater wanted real chicken wings. Brewdog Headingley had three different wing options that suited all their needed. Here, there's Wings Wednesdays with 90 mins of Cauliflower, Seitan or chicken wings amongst laidback customers, board games and a huge range of draught pints.
Dry Dock

Most will recognise the Dry Dock as the finishing point for the Otley Run, thus marking the fourteen plus pints you've consumed during this marathon of a pub crawl. As a result, few really know what it's like inside, it's all just a blur. Try going in sober or tipsy (just not Otley Run drunk) on a Wednesday night for 25p chicken wings and a whole load of sauces.
Kirkstall Bridge

Wing Wednesday also coincides with quiz night at Kirkstall Bridge, not that anyone's complaining. Grab a full box of chicken wings for a fiver with unique sauces like the Dissolution Hot Sauce, Black Band BBQ or Dexter and Blue Cheese dip. We did say they're the ultimate sports bar snack and frankly, what's more competitive than a pub quiz? Just be sure not to ruin your answer sheet with sauce and grease.
All you can eat food is always a good idea, especially if you're going with a large crowd- you just never know how hungry you'll be. Every Wings Wednesday is an all-you-can-eat wings and fries special at Absurd Bird. The wings are allegedly 'absurdly huge' so make sure to book in advance and grab a seat at the table for this sellout offer. Oh, and did we mention unlimited wings come to just £13.95?
The Library

For just 30p per wing, The Library have both chicken and cauliflower wings by the bucket on offer. The sauces are all barbecue-based, but each with a tangy twist: think bulleit bourbon flavoured, Korean BBQ and honey buffalo. If you need something else besides wings to fill you up on a cold Wednesday evening, the staff encourage you to add a side and make it a bargain meal- ideal.
Red's True Barbecue

Grab XXL wings every day of the week (not just on a Wednesday) for just 30p each, with a minimum order of 10 per serving. They're sauces are plenty and we're drooling over names like Unholy BBQ, Buffalo and Blue, Honey Sriracha and Vegan Devil Wings already. Reckon you can handle the hottest sauce of them all? There's a hot wing challenge that requires signing a legal waiver.
Neon Cactus

At Neon Cactus, all good things come with tequila so naturally you can get either a classic or Tommy's margaritas for a fiver when you get yourself a portion of finger-lickin' chicken wings- and we're not complaining. These guys have a mantra of "Stuff your face, feed your liver, lose your mind" and it seems too intriguing not to try at least once on a Wednesday.
Hoist House

A midweek chicken wing special is also available over at Hoist House on Wellington Place. For one night only, the bar offers half price wings from midday 'til late. Pair it with a draught pint of just about anything and bring the dog for a few drinks and an afternoon snack. If you're bringing a large crowd, book ahead of time for the best seats in the house.
A renowned brewery have announced that they will be taking over the reigns of a popular craft beer bottle shop in Ilkley.
Fuggle & Golding opened in 2015 on Leeds road in Ilkley and quickly grew a loyal following with locals and visitors alike.
Sadly they announced last month that their last day of trading would be Saturday 28 February, news which was met with huge disappointment.
However this is no longer the case, as Horsforth Brewery is set to reopen the venue on Wednesday. Hooray!
Announcing the welcomed news to Instagram, Horsforth Brewery wrote: "When we saw they were going to close we were determined to not lose another great venue from the local beer scene.
"We owe a massive thank you to George and the landlord for getting a deal across the line in quick order.
"We’re going to take a few days to put our stamp on the place and then we will be open on Wednesday!"
"Obviously we will be stocking our beers here but as anyone who knows will know, we love the beer scene so we will continue to have a good amount of guest beer on as well. We’ll even been joining in with the biggest beer launches from around the country.
"Want to know the best news? We’re doing this solo. No outside interests, no investors, no debt. In the current climate being able to organically grow like this is so so hard and it’s thanks to all our team that we’ve been able to do this.
"We’ve always been determined to grow our business in a healthy and sustainable way; it may have (absolutely has) been tough over the years but we’ve got ourselves in a position to take us to the next level in a sustainable way."
British Pie Week 2026 – all the best places to find a pie in and around Leeds
Clementine Hall
Sweet, savoury, filled or plain: pies are a staple in the British diet.
It's the best week of the year...it's British Pie Week, not that we need much of an excuse to celebrate that flaky, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth pastry, but we're taking all the excuses we can this week to embrace all things pie related.
We've rounded up al our favourite spots to grab a pie, as a lunchtime snack or on the go in the city centre - so take your pick, whatever the occasion.
Dave's Pies and Ales
Kirkstall Road, Burley | Open from 5pm

Dave's Pies and Ales is locally known as the smallest pub in Leeds - and whilst the menu and seating area might be teeny, what it does do, it does well.
Choose from a range of pies and peas with classic ales on tap to choose from inside this micropub 12-11pm every day of the week.
Whitelocks Ale House
Turk's Head Yard, just off Briggate | Kitchen open from 12pm
Image: The Hoot Leeds
Whitelocks is known in Leeds for its Sunday Roasts, warm fire and homely pub ambience- but their pies are the unsung heroes on the menu.
The beef and ale pie is made from Yorkshire Meat Co. beef, a Wetherby-based supplier that brings beef from the likes of Tancred Grange Farm in Richmond to Leeds. This one is served with chunky chips and sautéed seasonal veg, seat by the fireplace optional.
Pieminister
Duncan Street, Leeds city centre | Open from 12pm

Available as a Sunday roast, bottomless brunch or just a plain old (but beautifully presented) pie and mash, Pieminister is famous for its pies for all the right reasons. On the shelves in your local supermarkets and available as a sit-down scran on Boar Lane, Pieminister is a place where pies are guaranteed to make up the majority of the menu options.
Finer Pleasures
Multiple locations
If you don't know about Josh at Finer Pleasures, then you're seriously missing out. Josh is somewhat of a pie-oneer (sorry), and is the master of creating weird and wonderful pie creations from lasagna pies to gammon, egg and pineapple pork pies.
You can find him over in Crossgates most Wednesdays, but you're best bet is to keep an eye on his socials for the best chance on bagging one of his pies. Trust us, they're like gold dust.
Wilsons Butchers
Austhorpe Road, Cross Gates | Open from 7.30am
Image: Wilsons Butchers
Located in Armley, Morley and Pontfract - Wilsons Pies and Pasties is a small indie chain from Wilsons Butchers and crowned champions of the Yorkshire Small Pork Pie Championships.
At lunch time, the shops offer a true Yorkshire delicacy of pie and mushy pies with optional (but essential) mint sauce. All Wilsons pies and pasties are made using locally sourced produce in Garforth, so these a true Leeds pies, and well worth sampling.
