As we say a sad farewell to Braizin Squad cooking up a storm on Green Room's rooftop, it's time to say hello to someone new...
And that special someone is none other than street food royalty, Bastards Bistro.
Taking over the kitchen on Monday 23 September, these legends will be serving up everything from brunch to lunch and of course Sunday roasts for their Winter residency at one of Leeds' hottest bars.
So what can you expect to munch on then?

Well, the menu is currently top secret but we'll fill you in on a few secrets.
A few highlights on their world-inspired menu include brunch bao buns stuffed to the brim with sausage, homemade hash and a fried quail egg, probably the perfect hangover cure if you ask us.
As well as chicken gyros, pork belly banh mi's and beetroot poke bowls.
They will also be cooking up a banging Sunday roast featuring everything from braised ox cheek to roast porchetta and chicken supreme serve with all the hearty trimmings.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Bastards Bistro said: "We are pleased and very proud to announce our next residency will be at the award winning Green Room. Taking over the reins from our pals Braizin Squad as they move onto another exiting project themselves.
"Expect Brunch / Lunch / Roasts and a few exiting events to be announced at a later date! We cant wait to move into our new gaff! See you 23rd Sept ya Bastards."
It's fair to say this news has definitely made the thought of transitioning into the colder months that little bit easier, and we can't wait to try out their fantastic new menu. Alongside a couple of Green Room's signature drinks of course.
Book your spot in advance to avoid disappointment on the Green Room websitehere, but walk-ins, as always, will be welcomed too.
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.”
