Summer holiday feeds with tasty options for kids of all ages.
Looking for a place to feed the little ones can be a challenge, especially during the school holidays.
Banyan is taking the the stress out of the six week school break with their new 'Kids Eat Free' menu- and there's some seriously tempting options.
Replicating some of Banyan's bestselling foodie options in smaller portions, there's something for everyone (even fussy eaters) on this menu.
The mini Banyan cheeseburger is the ideal pit stop lunch or evening meal, whilst the new banana pancakes are perfect breakfast option for a busy day ahead.
Ensuring that their new menu can cater for a whole range of dietary needs, Banyan has introduced the likes of 'Meat’balls and Pasta made with vegan meatballs and a veggie-packed tomato sauce, plus there's vegan Jude’s chocolate and vanilla ice cream for those with room for dessert too.
There's even ample opportunity to sneak in your five a day, including on the desserts menu. The super Rocket lollies are made with fruit and veggies, and all the dishes with at least one of your five a day are marked with an apple on the menu- so you can identify them easily without your little ones realising.

The new menu suits big kids too. You can now super size a normal child’s portion to a bigger dish so that those who are way too cool to eat from the children’s menu but can’t yet take on a full sized adult portion can leave plenty full and satisfied.
During the summer holidays kids will be able to eat free with every full priced adult meal purchased. This offer is valid Monday - Friday, until 6pm until Friday 2 September 2022.

Popular Leeds cafe known for its fluffy Japanese sandos is moving to a bigger space
One of the city's best independents is expanding into a bigger premises.
Shokupan on Wellington Street is a proper little gem that food-lovers across Leeds will rave nonstop about if given the opportunity.
Husband and wife team Alan and Alison took inspiration from trips around the world to bring a taste of Japan to the city and over the past few years it's gained a loyal following.
They're famed for their delicious Japanese sandos made with pillow-like fluffy shokupan bread, stuffed with everything from crunchy chicken katsu and flavourful pork to fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
But it's not all just about sandwiches, they also serve rice bowls and katsu curries as well as small bites such as chicken karaage and octopus balls.
Their food is so bloody good, that they've had to find a better location and this time it's slap bang in the city centre on Central Road.
And they're joining brilliant company too, with the likes of House of Koko and Vinyl Grounds as neighbours.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Shokupan said: "You guessed right…we are moving to Central Road, LS1 6DE. We are nearly there…

"All the building work is complete and now we are finishing off the decorating. You might also start to see some signage appearing over the next few days…It has been lovely seeing some of our customers dropping by to see us whilst we slowly lose our sanity.
"Powered on caffeine and determination! Not long to go before we can announce our opening date and welcome you through the doors."
We can't wait to check out the new space, keep an eye on their opening date here.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this August
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this August.
