We're craving is hot gravy dinners - preferably with a Yorkshire pudding on the side.
Whilst we know Leeds loves a bottomless brunch, we confess that all this hankering for gravy has got us thinking about bottomless roasts instead. Fortunately, Leeds has these in spades too - so we've gone and put together the best, just in case anyone else is feeling similarly.
Keep reading to discover where to find a top-notch bottomless Sunday roast in Leeds.

Whilst it seems pretty easy to find a Sunday roast in Leeds with bottomless booze, finding bottomless meat is another task entirely. Lucky for you, we've done it.
Gaucho's never-ending roast gives diners 90 minutes of endless meat, Yorkshire puddings, gravy and veggies for just £37.
Available from 12 to 5pm on Sundays, there is a choice of three different joints, all originating from Argentinian, premium Black-Angus cattle, bred at hand-selected farms in the southern province of La Pampa, South America.
Meat is cooked in its own drippings, then served on boards with crispy roast potatoes, glazed carrots, buttered greens and Yorkshire puddings.
Neighbourhood is another Leeds venue giving you the option to go bottomless with your Sunday roast. Roasts are served every Sunday from noon, with choices like Roast Topside Beef, Roast Chicken Breast or Zucchini & Cashew Bake with roast potatoes, mash potatoes, a huge Yorkshire pudding, parsnips, carrots, cabbage and the best part - bottomless gravy.
Every Sunday for a full 90 minutes enjoy bottomless Prosecco, gin, pink gin, vodka, rum, seasonal cocktails and beer with your roast for £38. Now that’s what we call a Sunday Funday at Neighbourhood.
Crafthouse is up there with some of the swankiest in the city. Sat up high with stunning views across Leeds (and with a sister cocktail bar, Angelica, right upstairs), if you're looking to impress this is the spot.
The restaurant offers a bottomless Sunday roast set menu with two courses for £25 or three for £30. On top of that, you can opt for 90 minutes of 'free flowing' red wine or prosecco for an additional £25.
Mains choices span traditional roast beef and lamb dishes with all the trimmings; pan fried chicken breast with garlic kiev, thyme hash browns, maitake mushrooms and herb emulsion, as well as roasted parsnip risotto and cod schnitzel.
Elsewhere on the menu you'll find Lindesfarne oysters, torched mackerel, chicken terrine, strawberry Eton mess and a selection of cheeses.
Bottomless at Mad Frans is available all day Sunday until 5 pm, priced at £29.95 for a main and 90 minutes of unlimited drinks.
Roast-wise, think Yorkshire-reared beef sirloin, pigs in blankets, stuffing, roast vegetables, greens, giant Yorkies and roasties - as well as plenty of gravy of course. Alternatively, if you're not feeling the beef you could always go for some turkey instead. It's entirely up to you.

The charming French bistro that’s been a Leeds favourite for over 30 years
Clementine Hall
Tucked away from the bustling streets of the city centre you’ll find a Leeds institution that has been serving diners since 1991.
You've probably walked past Sous Le Nez hundreds of times and not popped in.
But if we can convince you to do anything, it's to head down those unassuming stairs on Quebec Street and ask for a table.
Set in a cavernous basement, the space is full of nooks and crannies, and in a flash, you’ll be whisked away to the South of France with stellar service and white tablecloths to match.

Their food is classic French cuisine done to an excellent standard.
We're talking indulgent French onion soup, rich pan-seared duck breast, juicy rump steak with silky peppercorn sauce and moule-frites served in a sauce good enough for drinking.
And if the food isn't enough to get you excited, then wait until you hear about the wine list.
Featuring over 300 wines, you'll find a tipple to suit every taste and every flavour on the menu.
As well as its a la carte menu, they offers it's menu du soir which is available until 6:45pm on weekdays and on a Saturday lunch time.

It includes three courses including half a bottle of excellent wine per person. I mean, you really can't get better value then that, can you?
More recently, renowned food critic Jay Rayner praised Sous Le Nez for its fabulous food and we couldn't agree more. And if it's good enough for Jay, then it's certainly good enough for us.
This is the sort of spot that is full of regulars no matter the time of day, whether they’re stopping by for a quick lunch or indulging in their evening menu - it’s no surprise they’ve been a firm Leeds favourite for over 30 years.
You can find out more about Sous Le Nez and book your table here.
