Six months in the making, the new burgers are being marked with a 50% off deal.
Almost Famous have declared that they have found the 'best burgers ever', and although they might be a little bias, their juicy burgers haven't failed us yet, so we'll happily take that risk.
Partnering with butchers Aubrey Allen, the popular eatery have launched their 'juiciest ever burgers', after changing their production method to produce tender fall-apart burgers.
To celebrate, two new burgers have been added to the plentiful menu, including the namesake 'Juicy Double' burger.

It strips back all the extras to let you concentrate on the 'juiciness' of the burger, but what it makes up in added toppings, it more than makes up for in flavour. Plus, its double in size, which helps.
Double cheese, double burger patties and double sauce: the Juicy Double is the best way to try the new Almost Famous burgers, just don't forget to double up the rest of your dishes for a true supersize meal.
The other new burger 'Blame it on the Whiskey' shouldn't be lost in the limelight of the Juicy Double. Inspired by a hangover craving, its dripping with chipotle hot honey, pepperoni, bacon, bacon may and crunchy 'wonder dusted' waffle fries.

If this doesn't make you want to get off the sofa after a night out, we don't know what will.
The new juicy burgers are backed by the Aubrey Allen legacy. The butchers not only serve Buckingham Palace, but they have also been ranked in the top 1% of butchers in the world.
Apparently the flavour comes from a minimum 21 days of maturing to enhance the texture of Angus, Hereford and Devon Red varieties of beef.
Almost Famous have been transparent about the swap to Aubrey Allen beef, stating that:
"It’s cost us almost double but it really is the best. At a time when provenance, ethics and sustainability is more important than ever we are able to secure this partnership and do what we know is best and right for Almost Famous."
To celebrate the 'juiciest ever burgers' at Almost Famous, all burgers will be available 50% off on Wednesday 24 November.

This one-day deal will celebrate the best of burgers at all Almost Famous locations, but given the chain's existing popularity, we recommend booking in advance if you plan to visit the Great George Street venue.

One of Leeds’ most loved sushi restaurants has just opened a second location in the city
Because one Fern Modern Sushi wasn't enough, we've now got two.
And guess what? It's even better than the first.
Fern Modern Sushi located in the unassuming Central Arcade has become a firm foodie favourite after opening just a couple years ago.
Run by the wonderful Chef Fern, who you could say is somewhat of a local celebrity at this point, the restaurant is known for serving delicious sushi with the freshest fish possible and traditional Japanese dishes with modern flair.

Full with hungry punters no matter the time of day, it's no surprise that Chef Fern has just opened Fern Modern Sushi 2.0 on Park Row.
This beautiful new space is serving up all the classic Fern dishes, from stacked donburi bowls and perfectly rolled sushi to miso glazed cod and hearty bowls of ramen.

Different for this location, though, is their exclusive cocktail menu - so you can wine and dine to your heart's content.
The interior has also levelled up, complete with a huge open kitchen so you can pull up a chair and eat whilst watching the magic happen.

And this isn't all that Chef Fern is up to, after opening Tori Nori on Vicar Lane a few months ago this will be her third restaurant in the city centre, and that is no easy feat.
She's even got another restaurant imminently opening in the Central Arcade which will be focused on traditional katsu dishes, and we wouldn't be at all surprised if she had something else lined up in the pipeline.

Fern Modern Sushi 2.0 officially opens on 19 November, but is open now for soft launch with limited bookings.
A pub in Leeds has been crowned the third best in Britain by The Good Food Guide
Clementine Hall
A Leeds pub has been crowned one of the very best in the country by The Good Food Guide.
The trusted guide has just released its 100 Best Pubs in Britain list, and we're very chuffed with the results indeed.
Taking the coveted number three spot is our very own The Highland Laddie, a 100-year-old city centre institution that reopened in April 2025 in the hands of new owners Sam Pullan and Nicole Deighton.
These guys also run the Empire Cafe, so you just know it's going to be good.
Last year they soared straight to the top of the list and were crowned the best pub in the whole of Britain by the guide.

This time, the Queen's Arms over in Eccles came number one followed by The Cow in Notting Hill.
We still think bagging third place is quite the achievement, and if you've visited The Highland Laddie yourself you'll know just how much of a special place it is.
Don't just take our word for it, The Good Food Guide labelled the Laddie as 'a true pub with a genuine community vibe'.
They also said: "Reenergised by the team behind the Empire Cafe in 2025, this is everything that a proper English pub should be – 'oh, and they have a mustard menu!'
"Inside, the Laddie ticks all the boxes, preserving the essentials of a traditional old-school boozer and maintaining a genuine sense of community while letting the good times roll. As for the food, it’s ‘both high-end and accessible’, pulling in ideas from all over, whether you fancy a freshly shucked Lindisfarne oyster, a keema toastie or an elevated ham roll with bread cooked over the coals.
"Dig deeper and you might find a lobster madeleine with Yorkshire chorizo butter, a treacle onion tart or pork schnitzel with two fried eggs. Club steaks are served by the inch, there’s no creative let-up when it comes to sides, and the nostalgia is ramped up with the likes of strawberry and Champagne trifle with ‘sprinkles’.
"But never forget that this is a self-proclaimed ‘drinkers’ pub’ dispensing everything from ‘properly served’ British brews and ’the best Guinness in Leeds’ to a staggering line-up of whisky optics."
