Sophie Smith Sophie Smith - 21st November 2022

The new street vendors have announced- and there's some seriously delicious options to finish the 2022 season with.

There's a lovely combination of old favourites and newcomers to feed us until the new year, and whether you're after a burger and fries or some gyozas drenched in secret sauce, these vendors have got you covered.

Keep reading to find out what you can grab from each of the food trucks, as well as The Hoot team's recommendations...

Jimmy Macks

Packed with flavour, grab a meal deal from Jimmy Macks and take full advantage of the three-piece meal for £12. There's roast squash and black bean soft tacos with charred corn salsa and lime crema or the cult-classic beef brisket birria in crispy folded tacos served with tomato salsa; Mexican chicken with jalapeno salsa and that birria dipping gravy that's got everyone talking. Every meal deal is served with seasoned fries and a soft drink of your choice, or there's side portions like loaded nachos and fries to choose from too.

Hoot recommends: Roast squash and black bean soft tacos with charred corn salsa and lime crema

Pickled Porker Smoke House

Back for another year, Pickled Porker is serving up smoked meats with the most incredible barbecue sauce. The huge menu includes at least 14 different options, including the gluten-free skinny loaded fries with 12-hour apple wood smoked pulled pork, melted cheese, sweet and smokey Louisiana-style BBQ sauce and cheese 'whizz' and veggie burger with sweet and smokey BBQ pulled 'chicken' or fiery jerk pulled 'chicken' with pear and lemon ponzu slaw on a toasted sesame seed bun.

Hoot recommends: ANYTHING with the sweet and smokey Louisiana-style BBQ

Big Mouth Gyoza

Big Mouth is serving up two different gyoza options, mushroom or pork belly, each of which that are packed with flavour, and generous servings of the brand's secret sauce. Choose from either a bento box with four gyozas in saucy, sticky rice with sesame, spicy, cheezu or curry toppings and house pickles sprinkled on top, or opt for the gyoza tray, which serves a whopping six gyozas in different styles.

Hoot recommends: Mushroom gyoza bento box with sesame rice and as much secret sauce as you can get your hands on

Luigi's Street Food

The much-loved Luigi’s Street Food is just one brand that has taken over Trinity Kitchen this month, but their Italian speciality dishes are proving popular with just about anyone that walks up to their pop-up van. Known as a panzerotto, the traditional Italian dish is deep fried pizza dough stuffed with mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce and a choice of toppings- and they’re going down a treat.

Hoot recommends: Arancini balls or the cheese and tomato calzone look like any cheese lover dream

Nelly's Barn

Those looking for a burger fix will be delighted to see Nelly's Barn making an appearance at Trinity Kitchen over the 2022 period. There's cheeseburgers, bacon and cheeseburgers or the Whoa Nelly- the double burger with cheddar and crispy bacon to choose from- plus plenty of sides. Think popcorn plant-based 'chicken' with fries and sauces like southern-style gravy, sweet BBQ, garlic mayo and parmesan garlic.

Hoot recommends: Grown up deal with a cheese burger, chips and a lager

Leeds’ first frozen yoghurt bar is opening in Headingley this weekend

Clementine Hall 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.

A post shared by Kefiyo Leeds (@kefi.yo)

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.

Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this summer

Clementine Hall Clementine Hall

An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.

If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.

The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.

Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.

And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.

The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.

And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!

Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.

It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.

The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.

We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this summer.
