The Good Food Guide has listed the 50 best Sunday roasts in Britain for 2024, and a Leeds favourite has come up trumps.
It is absolutely no surprise that us Leeds lot love a roast.
A proper Yorkshire pudding, crispy roast potatoes and lashings of thick gravy – when it’s done right, you just can’t beat it.
And now, a Leeds restaurant is being celebrated for serving one of the UK’s best ever Sunday roasts by The Good Food Guide, what an accolade.
The Ox Club was the only Leeds venue to make the top 50 list, and we can absolutely see why.

Famed for their tender roast rump cap of beef with bone marrow gravy as well as their black pudding and onion porchetta with pig trotter gravy, this is a roast that you'll be thinking about for the entire week ahead.
The real star of the show (in our opinion) are the Pomme Anna potatoes, layers of soft fondant potatoes with a crispy, crunchy outer edge. You won’t find a better potato in the city.
The Good Food Guide’s search for the Best Sunday Roast shows the importance of shining a light on the restaurants, pubs and cafes that are the backbone of the British dining scene.
After 18,000 public nominations, they came to the conclusion that a Sunday roast is by far Britain's favourite meal - with a whopping 75% of Good Food Guide readers saying so.
So it's safe to say that making the top 50 list is quite an achievement, and we're sure that people will be flocking to The Ox Club to try their incredible Sunday offering after hearing this brilliant news.
The tiramisu hype lives on, and this time it's coming to Leeds.
It really does feel like the traditional Italian dessert has taken the world by storm as of late.
Everything from tiramisu cups and tiramisu coffees have been popping up all over our feed, and now tiramisu in drawer form is popping up in the city centre.
Misu Tiramisu is an independent business that began at Manchester's Christmas Markets and quickly became one of the most popular operators, all thanks to its miniature tiramisu ‘drawers’.

The individually portioned and colourfully packaged desserts quickly became one of town’s top puddings, and owners Aleem and Aishah went on to launch a stand inside the Manchester Arndale too.
And now they’re branching out again in Leeds inside Trinity shopping centre for a two month residency.
You’ll find all their delicious flavours of handmade tiramisu, including classic, pistachio, chocolate, Biscoff, mango, and lemon - they'll also have some gluten-free tiramisu on offer as well, so no one has to miss out.

Misu Tiramisu owners Aleem and Aishah spent a year refining the recipe for their tiramisus after a trip to Milan, first launching with their first market stall in Sale.
Misu Tiramisu is now open inside Trinity shopping centre opposite Boots Opticians and Pop Specs.
They're open every day of the week for you to get your tiramisu fix, from 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and from 11am to 5pm on a Sunday.
And trust us Leeds, they're just as delicious as they are adorable.
