The 'punk-inspired' chicken wing restaurant Cult Wing is opening up in Leeds and offering some pretty unique staff incentives.
Coming soon to the Merrion Centre, Cult Wing promises not to be just your average chicken shop.
Celebrating freedom and raw individuality, the new foodie hot spot will be kitted out with bags of style through the funky decor, style of service and unique menu.
And it doesn't just stop there, Cult Wing are now hiring and have stated that they will pay for their employees to have a tattoo worth up to £500 after working with them for 6 months, pretty cool right?

So whether you're after a multicoloured chicken wing on your arm or a pint of craft beer on your leg, the company will pay for the art to be engraved on your skin forever.
Other amazing incentives include a free meal per shift, a free drink every Friday and Saturday night and invites to exclusive staff parties.
So, what else can you expect at Cult Wing? As the name suggests there'll be fantastic chicken wings which guests can personalise to their own desired spice level.

Pick from mild to extra hot or opt for unique flavours like ‘Rock Chick Chipotle’, ‘BBQ Bones’ and ‘Skulldive Herb’- all of which give an idea of the cool rock and roll aesthetic expected from the new restaurant.
Drinks wise there will be tequila flights, quirky cocktails and an extensive range of craft beers on offer to wash it all down with.

"After years of late nights, strong cocktails, and incredible stories; The Maven will close its doors"
It's a sad day for the Leeds night life scene, as a beloved speakeasy bar has today announced that it will be closing its doors for good.
The Maven has been a firm favourite for many years with those looking to enjoy some experimental and expertly made cocktails.
Hidden behind an unassuming door at the top of Call Lane, it was a great spot to visit if you were looking for something that little bit special.
Announcing the news to their social media, The Maven said: "From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being our guests over the years and promise that until then, we'll do our best to give you the best nights out on Call Lane."
Luxury Leeds steakhouse to undergo huge £1.2 million renovation
Clementine Hall
Leeds restaurant The Cut & Craft has announced further expansion plans for the spring.
Swanky all-day dining restaurant and bar, The Cut & Craft, is expanding its popular Leeds site, investing a whopping £1.2 million to create a new adjoining elegant bar, lounge and private spaces.
Located within the former historic Collinson’s Cafe, the renovation will transform the former neighbouring Paul Smith store, to extend the existing brand offering.
The extension will celebrate the original beauty of the space, whilst acknowledging the legacy of Wallace Hartley - a talented musician who played at Collinson’s Cafe in the early 1900s before his role as bandleader on Titanic during its maiden voyage.

The Grade II-listed building’s features including its iconic glass dome, stained glass and circular central bar will remain, with the addition of two beautifully designed private dining rooms.
The extension is due for competition this spring and will transform the existing venue into a space with seating for an impressive 370 covers.
Oscar Akgul, CEO at The Cut & Craft said: “Planning for this new chapter began within the first year of opening. By year two, it was clear that we required additional space to serve the city’s appetite for The Cut & Craft’s signature hospitality.

“The brand’s deep affinity with the Victoria Quarter and the heritage of the building played an essential role in the decision to grow here.
“We want to thank our regular guests and everyone who has joined us at The Cut & Craft Leeds since opening and we look forward to entering this exciting new chapter with you all.”
