Award-winning independent bar and restaurant, Green Room, will be bringing the German Christmas Market spirit to Leedswith their new Winter Garden.
After an impressive opening summer which saw Green Room soon became the place to be in Leeds city centre, they are now unveiling their brand new Winter Garden.
Opening this Friday 21 October 2022, the launch coincides with a new expanded winter-inspired menu which is sure to get guests feeling festive over the next few months.
Designed to fill the gap left by the cancellation of the Leeds German market, the beloved rooftop has been completely transformed into a cosy winter hideaway.

Think roaring fire pits, state of the art heat lamps covering the entire decking and Yorkshire wool blankets for guests to snuggle into and get comfy.
Visitors will also be able to enjoy a limited-edition German-style pilsner, brewed exclusively by Kirkstall Brewery and served in traditional steins so you can live out your Oktoberfest fantasy.
Green Room is known for it's fantastic vegan food selection, and their new winter menu most certainly does not disappoint. It includes a Bratwurst Vegan-Dog featuring a succulent Moving Mountains sausage which is topped with sauerkraut, mustard, ketchup, crispy onions, and pickles, whilst the Currywurst Vegan-Dog is served with fries, pickled cabbage, coriander, onions, and chilli.

The daytime menu, served from 10 am – 3 pm, has also been updated with meat-based versions of some of Green Room’s bestselling dishes. Highlights include the Mexican Steak Bowl with a juicy flat iron steak and a delicious Chicken and Avocado Caesar Salad.

Speaking of the Winter Garden launch, Director Will Habergham said: ‘’We couldn’t have really asked for a better summer 2022 - not only did we get to enjoy our fair share of sunshine, but the people of Leeds really took to our concept, and we’ve had an exceptionally busy few month.
"I’m confident our regulars will love what we’ve done with the Winter Garden, especially those that have been pining for the return of the beloved Christmas markets. Our terrace has been transformed into a cosy space that’s perfect for enjoying a few steins, a Bratwurst and some great entertainment with friends and colleagues.

‘’We’ll also continue to serve up favourites from our Gron menu and have even added some incredible meat-based dishes to ensure nobody is left out. Summer will be a tough act to follow, but I’ve got a feeling that we’re going to have a winter to remember.’’

The 456sq m store will give shoppers the chance to fully immerse themselves in the world of LEGO building.
No matter what age, you just can't beat a bit ot LEGO.
And it's safe to say that excitement is well and truly building (get it?) as the LEGO Group has announced its new store will open at Trinity Leeds on Thursday April.
To celebrate the opening there will be specially-designed, Yorkshire-inspired LEGO models available to see and pose with on launch day.
The new and improved store will include a LEGO Pick a Brick Wall, where shoppers can search for the perfect piece to complete their masterpiece, start a brand-new build, or customise an existing LEGO set.

Steven Foster, Centre Director at Trinity Leeds, said: “The new LEGO store is bigger and better than ever before with some incredible interactive elements that will allow creativity and imaginations to flourish. As the only LEGO store in West Yorkshire, it has already proved incredibly popular here at Trinity Leeds, and this new store will bring even more of what LEGO fans love.”
The new LEGO store comes alongside a whole host of new openings inside Trinity, including schuh, Jerk Junction, Lane7 and Footasylum.
Announcing the news to Instagram, Edge's Pizza said: "Well there’s good reason for our silence over the last few months, (planning permission pending) we’ve got a home! Seven months of looking and we’ve learnt so much on this journey already, from investment that didn’t work out, to dodgy buildings not fit for purpose. We’ve got there in the end.
"All that to say, we pride ourselves on perfection and wouldn’t settle for anything less. We hope this will be worth the wait, and that you’ll support us on this next huge step. We are terrified to say the least, but we’re also so excited and immensely grateful to you our lovely customers for this opportunity."

This would be great news for Leeds, as their pizza is something unlike anything we have in the city at the moment.
Forget the floppy, Neapolitan-slices that you fold before shoving in your gob. These slices are satisfyingly thin, perfectly crispy and just downright delicious.
We would love to welcome Edges Pizza to the city and we'll keep you updated with the progress. You can bet we'll be the first to order.
