Based out of a Leeds pub, local takeaway Puds and Grub has been a relatively unassuming new addition to the city's food scene - until now.
After being featured on the latest episode of Youtube chanel 'Rate My Takeaway', hosted by popular Leeds man Danny Malin, owner Gemma Beetham says they've been inundated with new order requests.
41-year-old funnyman Malin has become quite the internet star in recent months, racking up a whopping 143,000 subscribers on his Youtube channel to date.
Known for his hilarious reviews delivered in a no-nonsense style, Malin's been highlighting some of the country's best (and most overlooked) takeaway spots - recently driving down to Bolton's 'Grandma's Kitchen' with his own portable table to sample owner Ms Love's famous fry-up.
For his next video, he's put the spot light back on Leeds - driving up to Farsley Celtic Football Club to uncover a hidden gem somewhat closer to home.

Puds and Grub is Malin's latest discovery. Newly operating out of The Nest at Farsley, it's been going since the start of 2021.
Danny opts for their 'cow & chicken' burger (Cheeseburger and BBQ chicken fillet, smoked paprika mayo, bbq sauce, tomato and lettuce) and the excellently-named 'Chipsy king' (loaded fries topped with bacon, spring onions, grated cheddar, peppercorn gravy and rosemary), praising both enthusiastically.
Still with room to spare, he also tucks into the 'Big bueno hank' - three gooey cookie squares, stacked together and topped with Kinder Bueno, vanilla icecream and a mix of sauces.
So far, Danny's review has racked up nearly 200,000 views.
He sings the praises of his order enthusiastically, which has led to the takeaway being suddenly inundated with requests.
"We have had a lot of people getting in touch which is great." said Grub and Pud owner Gemma Beetham.
"We are expecting this weekend to be busier.
"Now we have a permanent weekend home at the nest we are looking forward to the next stage of opening whereby people can enjoy our food inside."
