Take the plunge into Pieminister's steaming hot gravy fondue where you can dunk a whole range of delicious dippers into flavoursome, rich gravy.
If there's one thing us Northerners love, it's gravy.
Whether its smothered on your Yorkshire puds or acting as a dipping sauce for your chunky chips, we will find a way to put that sweet nectar on pretty much anything.
So when we heard that Pieminister on Duncan Street were serving up hot gravy fondues, we couldn't quite believe our luck.

But what exactly is a gravy fondue you might ask? Well, it's basically a huge steaming pot of thick, savoury gravy which you can dip a range of delicious dippers into.
We're talking free range British honey and mustard sausages, crispy parsnip and kale fritters, onion rings, potato fries, halloumi fries, pork scratchings and so much more.
It's perfect for a group of gravy-loving friends or family who fancy mixing up their traditional gravy slurping tendencies.
And of course you can't go to Pieminister without indulging in one of their epic, award-wining pies.
From their Kate & Sidney pie which is filled to the brim with British beef steak, kidney and ale to their Wild Shroom which features portobello and chestnut mushrooms, asparagus and white wine.
There's also a huge range of pies for veggies out there including the Mock a Doodle with Tofu 'chicken' and the Mooless Moo which has Jackfruit 'steak', craft ale and black pepper.

The gravy fondue is the perfect way to kickstart your meal or just on it's own if you quickly need that gravy fix.
The gravy fondue costs £15 and that includes three dipping vehicles of your choice. To find out more and to book your table, take a look at Pieminister's website.
The UK Aids Memorial Quilt is set to go on display across Wakefield this summer.
The quilt - consisting of 42 quilts and 23 individual panels, representing over 384 individuals affected by HIV and AIDS - will go on display at WX Wakefield from Thursday 4 to Sunday 7 June 2026.
All 42 quilts will be on display, with WX working in partnership with the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt Conservation Partnership.
Across the same weekend, selected individual panels will be displayed at different venues across the city including The Hepworth Wakefield, The Art House Wakefield, Theatre Royal Wakefield, Pontefract Castle and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Part of the world’s largest community art project, this is a huge opportunity for the city of Wakefield. The project started in the USA back in 1985 by activist Cleve Jones, commemorating friends, family and loved ones lost to AIDS.
Individual panels were then stitched together to create larger quilts, which were shown outdoors as a form of protest to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.
Today, the quilt stands as a crucial reminder of those who were lost and of the continuing affect that HIV and AIDS has on the people of today.
At WX Wakefield, viewing the quilt is completely free and on Friday 5 June there will be a special late night opening up until 10:30pm to view the exhibition.
And on Saturday 6 June at 2:30pm, there will be a very special and poignant reading of the names of those commemorated on the quilt.

Leeds’ first frozen yoghurt bar is opening in Headingley this weekend
Clementine Hall
The frozen yoghurt craze is on its way to Leeds as Kefiyo is set to open in Headingley in just a few days.
It's a phenomenon that has caught the attention of the TikTok and Instagram girlies as of late, with frozen yoghurt bars popping up in Manchester and going viral online.
The ice cold sweet treat is supposedly 'healthy' and with a slogan of 'eat Clean. feel Light. live Better.' - this new spot in Leeds seems to be going down that route too.
Kefiyo will be opening in the old Sixes site on Ash Road in Headingley, and they've just announced that they'll be soft launching this Sunday 19 April 2026.
The space is already sporting a super cute pastel green and pink exterior, and it's exactly matching the aesthetic that you'd expect with froyo.
Kefiyo will offer a range of frozen yoghurt flavours with a whole bunch of toppings for you to customise to your tastebuds, as well as fresh acai bowls.
Situated slap bang in the centre of Headingley, we've got a feeling it'll be very busy with students on their way to their morning lecture or at night for those looking for a sweet treat that doesn't feel too naughty.
We'll keep you updated on more Kefiyo updates as and when we find out.
But in the meantime, you can keep an eye on their socials here. We'll see you soon for a scoop Leeds.
