Roxy Lanes and Roxy Ball Rooms are the place to go in Leeds for a mate date.
Whether you're looking for a game of pool after work or bowling on the weekend with the family, there's always a great reason to head over to one of the three Roxy venues.
Naturally, the food options here are always spot on for any occasion. Serving up a range of light snacks ideal for sharing and pizzas loaded with cheesy, salty and meaty options that you can sit down and scran with a post-game pint.

Now, Roxy Lanes and Roxy Ball Room are serving up a brand new menu that's bound to have pizza lovers walking through the door, even if there's no games booked.
The Roxy Dogs are an autumn staple, and the perfect way to celebrate a belated Oktoberfest. The bratwurst sausages are served in light brioche rolls with Roxy fries and piled high with crispy onions and sauces on the classic version. The Big Dog adds pepperoni slices, jalapeños and cheddar cheese into the mix for an all-out special bound to curb any appetite.
Pizzawise, there's a whole feast of options to choose from- we're talking seven different options, each with its own bragging rights.
Besides your standard margarita and pepperoni options (which certainly shouldn't be underestimated), the hand rolled Italian pizza options include a spicy buffalo chicken pizza with salt and pepper chicken, jalapeños, buffalo sauce and topped with rocket or a garlic sausage with cheesy mozzarella and sausage with a garlic butter base.
The Meat Feast should be reserved for those looking for a standout showstopper: packed with mozzarella, sausage, salt and pepper chicken, pepperoni, spring onion all topped with a generous drizzling of maple and bourbon BBQ sauce.
And if that's not enough, Roxy Lanes and Roxy Ball Room have fused the best Mexican flavours into a nacho-style pizza. A tomato base loaded with crushed tortilla chips gives this one a crunchy kick, balanced out with mozzarella, guacamole, sour cream and chives dressing with jalapeños, chunky salsa, red chilli and spring onion.

There's also vegan cheese and gluten free bases on request.
Those looking for options to share should take full advantage of the side options, available as three for £15. There's nostalgic crisscut fries and chilli cheese bites perfect for picking between rounds of ice-free curling or bowling, as well as nachos loaded with melted cheddar, guac, sour cream, salsa, red chilli and spring onion.
Besides the salt and pepper chicken with maple and bourbon BBQ sauce, the side options are entirely vegetarian, and with tasty staples like mac and cheese bites or the OG Roxy Fries to choose from, it's unlikely you'll miss the absense of meat in their food.

Best of all, the food options here aren’t limited to those wanting to play games, you can pop in for a bite to each or cocktail anytime, and take advantage of all the options on the menu.

A modern Mexican restaurant made famous in Manchester is opening in Leeds city centre next week
The North’s favourite Mexican restaurant is arriving in Leeds.
You've met Salon Madre, but have you met her older sister Madre?
This fabulous new restaurant is bringing a taste of Mexico to Leeds, and after making a name for themselves over in Manchester you already know it's going to be good.
By day, Madre is a laid-back space designed for relaxed lunches and by night, it transforms into a lively restaurant serving a menu that celebrates the breadth of Mexican cuisine.
Expect everything from rich Oaxacan-inspired moles and salsas to Baja-style mariscos and Sonoran grilled meats.

At the heart of Madre is the Mexican tradition of sobremesa - the art of lingering at the table long after the meal is over. It’s all about good food, great drinks and even better company.
Madre’s famous Taco Tuesday will also be heading to Leeds, launching on Cinco de Mayo and running every Tuesday thereafter, guests can enjoy two-for-one tacos all day, every Tuesday.
Madre joins its sister venue, Salon Madre - the lively tequila bar and taqueria- which opened just a few weeks ago. Just a few minutes walk apart, the two spots are perfectly paired for a full day or night out.
We're talking dinner at Madre followed by a few margaritas and a couple games of pool at Salon Madre - class.

Co-founder Sam Grainger, inspired by extensive travels across Mexico, says: “Mexico is alive with passionate artisans and cooks, mastering everything from street tacos to regional delicacies. It’s a world where traditions blend and evolve, and we’ve built that ethos into the heart of Madre.”
Madre Leeds will be located on Wellington Place and will officially open its doors next Friday 17 April, you can book your table here.
Take a look inside the huge Tulip Festival that’s just opened in Yorkshire with over one million tulips
Clementine Hall
Farmer Copley's Tulip Festival is back and it's just as beautiful as we remember.
Spring has officially sprung and with it, so does Farmer Copley's iconic Tulip Festival that officially opened last Sunday.
Based in West Yorkshire, nestled between Pontefract and Featherstone, the Copley family really know how to get you feeling ready for the season ahead.
Just moments after entering the festival, we can assure you that winter will feel like a distant memory.

Spanning over 8 acres, Jack and the team have planted over 600,00 tulip bulbs consisting of 100+ different varieties of all shapes and colours that arrived directly from the Netherlands.
In addition to the 500,000 planted last year, that means there's over one million tulips to enjoy - now that is pretty impressive if you ask us.
Varieties include Carnaval de Rio, Tom Pouce, Gavota, Lily Flowering Mix, Blushing Appledorn, Wedding Dress and Rodolfo.

The festival includes five sections that have been split by 5 metre walkways enabling the best customer interaction in the field.
There's two dedicated pick your own areas where a mix of bulbs have been planted to ensure that visitors have a wide range of tulips to explore, pick from and create the perfect bunch of tulips. How lovely is that?
Of course there's plenty of photo opportunities, fairground rides and a bar to enjoy the view with a tipple or two.
This really is the perfect family-friendly day out and with the weather looking gorgeous (for now), we'd take the opportunity to see the tulips looking their best whilst you can.
The festival is on until Sunday 3 May 2026, with tickets starting from just £9.
To find out more and to book your ticket, take a look at Farmer Copleys website. We'll see you in the tulip fields.
