This time, Belgrave has picked up on our keen attempts at Veganuary and are hosting a vegan feast for all- and have found the finest vegan chefs around to serve up.
Here's what to expect this Saturday at the Music Hall and Canteen.
Dough Boys are always there when we need them most- often at 11pm after too many pints and not enough food. Grab pizza by the slice this veganuary and test out delicious combinations like What's the Quack? - a vegan duck pizza, and more.
There will also be a Dough Babies session during the vegan feast so that all the family can get involved in the cooking process.
The company shared heartwarming images from their previous Dough Babies session, stating that Dough Babies is "a free drop-in class for little 'uns to get really creative with their pizza toppings! They can absolutely choose whatever crazy combination they like from the selection available, we'll then finish them off in the oven before they can eat/take home for tea".

Little chefs are invited to head over to Belgrave between 11am and 12pm. There's no need to book in advance, just turn up and create some tasty pizzas just in time for lunch.
The Spicy Biker will be on hand to serve authentic Indian cuisine. Inspired by their mother's kitchen with a spicy biker twist, expect everything from bhaji boxes to curries, chaat bombs and samosa.
The talent behind Kuala Lumpur Cafe in Headingley will be sharing a culinary trip to Malaysia that's a feast for all the senses. With their signature dish Nasi Lemak featured on Masterchef and a published cookbook from their head chef, Norman Musa- expect flavours aplenty.
Baking hot vegan treats, Black Day Bakes is the baker behind cafe favourites like biscoff s'mores brookies at Fika North and more. Expect lineup bigger than Leeds fest from Crystal Black who runs everything from the baking to the social media. We're thinking brownies, cakes and cookies- but the baker hasn't announced the selection available on the day just yet.
Burgers from Patty Smith

The Leafeater (pictured above) is just one of the burgers that Patty Smith's have chosen to create after choosing to go vegan for January 2022. Available every day from Belgrave, we all know and love Patty's menu or delicious burgers and huge fries platters but this weekend, but their vegan menu is set to offer a taste of plant-based goodness at the vegan feast this week too.
For the rest of the afternoon, guests can take advantage of free arts, crafts and soft play upstairs in the Snug 11am - 4pm on Saturday 8 January 2022.

Everyone's in love with frozen yoghurt, and Leeds is about to get more of it.
Over the past year, the UK has become a little bit obsessed with frozen yoghurt - and Leeds is no exception.
We've had Kefiyo open in Headingley which met to queues round the block for weeks, as well as the UK's leading froyo brand Frurt open up in Kirkstall.
And now, there's a newbie on the block.

Introducing 'Yo-Go', your newest frozen yoghurt bar that will be opening up in Leeds' Hyde Park.
We don't know much about Yo-Go yet, but we do know it's female owned and is sporting some pretty cute branding.
The space is currently undergoing renovation, with the owner posting that she received the keys just a couple of days ago.
The window vinyls are up, and people are already getting very excited about the opening as they flock to the comments of Yo-Go's first Instagram post.
Announcing the news of their opening, Yo-Go wrote: "GUYS!! WE’VE GOT THE KEYS. And apparently they don’t come with a finished shop… rude.
"While we get to work, we need your input. Toppings, flavours, very specific requests, we’re taking notes. Drop them below and I’ll try my best to make it happen x"
Comments included requests for 'unlimited toppings' as well as warm sauces, cookie dough, marshmallow and honeycomb.
Sounds pretty delicious if you ask us, but for now, it looks like there's still some work to be done before the shop is ready to welcome its first customers.
We don't know of an opening date just yet, but we'll keep you updated as and when we do.
Inside the new all-day American diner that has just opened at Leeds Bradford Airport
Clementine Hall
A brand-new American-style diner serving smash burgers, hot dogs and thick milkshakes has opened at Leeds Bradford Airport.
We all know the holiday really starts as soon as you get to the airport, and Leeds Bradford Airport has a brand-new American diner to kick start it in style.
Welcome to Monty’s American Diner, the all-day dining destination bringing a taste of the USA to Yorkshire.
Located in the airport's departure lounge, this new spot is designed to give passengers somewhere to sit back and relax whilst enjoying a proper meal before jetting off.

Early flight? Breakfast is available until 11am with options including fluffy waffles, French toast bites, chicken and waffles drenched in maple syrup as well as traditional cooked breakfasts and American-style bagels.
Those travelling later in the day can tuck into smash burgers, chicken wings, loaded hot dogs, gooey mac and cheese and even a BBQ platter complete with ribs, corn and wings.
There’s also a menu specifically designed for the little ones, featuring waffles, beans on toast and scrambled eggs on toast, alongside burgers, chicken tenders and mac and cheese throughout the day.
And if you fancy a drink before take-off, because it wouldn't be a trip to the airport without a tipple, Monty’s has that covered too.
There's freshly poured pints on offer as well as cocktails, or you can have the proper American experience with a 'hard shake' - their classic thick milkshakes but made boozy.
