It's no surprise that we absolutely love the Cheesy Living Co deli located in the Corn Exchange, it's our go-to spot for some delicious charcuterie, local cheese and even a fondue Sunday roast.
Well now, their new venture the Cheesy Chip Shop is serving up cheesy chips like you've never seen them before. Expect mega cheese pulls, perfectly crisp yet fluffy chips and explosions of flavour from their exciting menu - guaranteed to cure any hangover in an instant.
With exciting combinations like the Buffalo Blue with buffalo sauce and blue cheese; a classic Chip Shop Curry curry sauce with cumin gouda, mango chutney, mint yoghurt, popadoms and pickled chilli and even Truffle Carbonara with parmesan and pecorino cheese, pancetta, truffle and parsley – it’s obvious every cheese and garnish has been well thought out.
Alley Cats Leeds

If you're a fan of big, bold, American flavours - then Alley Cats is the place for you.
The Consuela burger is going to be a standout favourite from these guys, this mammoth burger consists of double beef patties, American cheese, nacho cheese sauce, house-made salsa and jalapeños and we’re sure it’ll be drawing the crowds in to the top floor once news spreads of its arrival.
Based in Chapel Allerton, you can also grab seasonal specials like a sugar crusted, grilled toastie served with vanilla ice cream, Nutella and bananas or a mean works burger from their permanent home outside the city centre long after their residency finishes.
Luigi Street Food Italiano

The much-loved Luigi’s Street Food is just one brand that has taken over Trinity Kitchen this month, but their Italian speciality dishes are proving popular with just about anyone that walks up to their pop-up van. Known as a panzerotto, the traditional Italian dish is deep fried pizza dough stuffed with mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce and a choice of toppings- and they’re going down a treat.
We recommend the arancini balls or the cheese and tomato calzone which is sure to look like any cheese lover dream.
Dog Almighty

Another favourite to return to Trinity for another stint in the kitchen, Dog Almighty is bringing a drool-worthy selection of artisan hot dogs and vegan not dogs to the third floor of the shopping centre. Entirely handmade in Yorkshire with home-smoked toppings and plenty of dirty fries to keep you going, this is going to be a go-to for so many city centre workers.
Yoi Fried Chicken

The Pan-Asian fried goodness from Yoi Fried Chicken is absolutely worth taking a trip to Trinity Kitchen for. Taking over the black shipping container for the next nine weeks, expect everything from the classic fried chicken baos and burgers to creamy peanut satay and Katsu curry mayo.
Domo will officially open the doors to its Leeds venue this summer.
Get ready for Domo Leeds, a Sardinian independent born in Sheffield that is loved by many for its delicious food, inviting atmosphere and stellar service.

Domo has confirmed it will officially open the doors to its first Leeds venue on Friday June 5, so we really don't have long to wait.
Located at the iconic Tower Works development, Domo Leeds will offer a vibrant new canal-side destination, perfect for the summer months.
Alongside the main restaurant menu, there’ll be a dedicated bar food menu designed around relaxed dining and carefully crafted small plates designed to pair with the drinks offering creating a more informal way for guests to experience Sardinian flavours.
Domo co-founder, Sarah Elliott-Busceddu, said: “We’re incredibly excited to finally open the doors and welcome people into Domo Leeds. From day one, our vision has been to create a space where everyone feels welcome and somewhere that brings people together in the true spirit of Sardinian hospitality.
“Whether it’s an evening out with friends, a relaxed catch-up over drinks after work, or a big family celebration, we’ve designed Domo to feel warm, inclusive and full of life. We can’t wait for people in Leeds to experience not just the food and drinks, but the atmosphere and sense of community that sits at the heart of everything we do.”
The Sheffield institution serving the city’s favourite sandwich for over 60 years
Clementine Hall
Of course, it's the one and only Béres.
It all started back in 1961 when Hungarian butcher Sandor Béres left his home city of Budapest during the 1956 uprising against the Stalinist government.
After the government took control of his father's butchers shops, Sandor set out to establish the chain once more and so, Béres was born.
And thank god it was, as for over 60 years now their iconic pork sandwich has been fuelling the hungry people of Sheffield, and we'd go as far to say it's one of the best sarnies in the city.

Hot roast pork, herby stuffing, crispy crackling and fruity apple sauce all crammed into a soft bap - it really doesn’t get much better than that.
But, what makes it so special? Béres claims it's all in the preparation and quality control.
Being a traditional butchers, their pork joints are traditionally roasted and cured in house to give that succulent texture and crispy crackling every single time.
They use around seven tonnes of pork and four tonnes of flour per week to feed us hungry lot, and it's no surprise when you see the queues forming outside your local Béres every lunch time.

The very first shop was born at Wadsley Bridge where they quickly built a reputation for their sandwiches, this then allowed them to become a proper Sheffield household name after expanding rapidly through the 2000s.
They now have 14 sites across Sheffield, and each site is as good as the next. Not only are the pork sandwiches class but if you're ever faced with a hangover no matter how severe, their stacked breakfast baps are always there to save the day.
But why we love Béres most of all is the lovely staff who are always there to offer a smile and a chinwag, but what else do you expect from the people of Sheffield hey?
