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.
Gail's has finally set its sights on Yorkshire for the first time, with a new bakery set to open this year.
It's one of the UK's most famous bakeries, launching in London in the early 1990s to supply restaurants, before opening its first retail site and cafe in Hampstead in 2005.
Gail's founders set out on a mission to bake bread as it used to be baked: by hand, using quality ingredients and time-worn artisanal methods.
While Gail's has expanded aggressively into the north, opening around a dozen bakeries in Greater Manchester and its surrounds, it hasn't made the journey across to Yorkshire just yet.
All that looks set to change, with job ads now listed for roles within a brand-new Yorkshire branch of Gail's.
Based on the job advert, Gail's is heading straight to the spa town of Harrogate - which is a fairly predictable move.
It looks like Gail's is heading for HarrogateGail's will make its Yorkshire debut
It had previously been reported that Gail's would be going to Knaresborough, but the job posting appears to hint that Harrogate will be the first Yorkshire location.
When it does open, you'll find loaf choices including classic white and brown sourdough, Gail’s ‘wasteless’ loaves (made using a specially-created recipe designed to incorporate unsold bread crumbs), alongside seeded varieties, baguettes and batons.
Must-tries include Gail’s famous cinnamon buns, still-warm cheese and ham croissants, chocolate chip cookies, and – given the weather we’re having this week – iced coffees, all day long preferably please.
But given the number of fantastic local bakeries all over Yorkshire, the question is, does anyone want Gail's?
Kirkstall Brewery and Little Bao Boy unveil new Leeds taproom
Daisy Jackson
You know the venue, and you know the operators behind it, but things are looking a little different over on Sovereign Street.
Leeds' very own Kirkstall Brewery has teamed up with street food legends Little Bao Boy to totally reinvent the city centre taproom formerly known as North Taproom.
At the all-new The City Taproom, you'll find a way cosier space alongside their sun-soaked terrace, as they aim to reimagine a traditional city centre pub.
Across 16 tap lines there are loads of Kirkstall Brewery classics, like Kirkstall Pilsner, Virtuous and Judicious, plus a rotating selection of guest beers from top British breweries - and Guinness, of course.
The City Taproom will also feature two new cask lines: one serving Three Swords as a staple, and the other on rotation starting this month with Golden Hour.
There's a bigger kitchen for Little Bao Boy too, which means an even larger menu of bao and Asian street food, like loaded fries, noodles, and rice bowls.
Little Bao Boy was founded 10 years ago by James Ooi, specialising in home-made bao buns and traditional Asian street food with a contemporary western twist.
Kirkstall have injected the huge space with the traditional essence of a proper Kirkstall establishment, with that kind of cosy atmosphere you know them for at the brewery's other sites.

This is yet another of the local brewery's openings in the city centre, joining their recent renovation of The Victoria & Commercial in partnership with Whitelocks, plus their stewardship of the historic Tetley brewery building.
James Ooi, founder of Little Bao Boy said: "We have been part of this venue since day one, through COVID, outside seating, and new owners, and we are so excited for this refurb.
"On the food side, expect more collaborations, faster service, and a better overall customer experience. We are extremely grateful Kirkstall saw the value in this refurb and can't wait to get back open."
Steve Holt, founder of Kirkstall Brewery, said: "We're delighted to unveil a new presentation for the Taproom on Sovereign Street.
"It has been named The City Taproom after a famous but long-gone Leeds pub known as ‘The City’, which was situated where the statue of the Dortmund Brewer now stands. Images of the original City pub are a feature in the new look City Taproom, which can best be described as a 're-imagination' of a traditional city-centre pub.
"The City Taproom celebrates Leeds and its rich pub and brewing heritage. We hope that it will become a popular addition to the amazing and diverse venues that make Leeds such a vibrant City for hospitality and entertainment."
It's all the bits you loved before, just a little bigger and a whole lot better.
The City Taproom opens at 3 Sovereign Street on Thursday 23 April.
