Why? Because it's all in celebration of the restaurant opening on Tuesdays for the first time since launching, and that restaurant is the absolutely brilliant Bavette.
If you've not heard of Bavette then please allow us to fill you in.
Bavette is a gorgeous neighbourhood bistro that opened its doors over in Horsforth back in February last year.

Owners Sandy and Clément are the ultimate hospitality husband duo, and since opening Bavette has taken the culinary world by storm scooping up every award possible.
From securing a spot on the Michelin Guide to being awarded the best local restaurant in the UK by The Good Food Guide, Bavette has gone from strength to strength and has truly made a name for itself for being a real local gem.

Announcing the news to Instagram, Bavette said: "To celebrate opening on Tuesdays from September, and to give a little back to all you amazing people in our industry we’re offering 50% off drinks on Tuesdays in September to anyone who works in hospitality. Just pop a note in your booking, letting us know where you work. Hopefully see you soon."
The drink offering is just as great as the food, with a selection of wines from Clément's family vineyard in France as well as a well thought out aperitif and cocktail list, there's a tipple for everyone to enjoy.

Co-founder Sam Grainger, inspired by countless trips to Mexico, says: “Mexico is alive with passionate artisans and cooks, mastering everything from street tacos to regional delicacies. It’s a world where traditions blend and evolve and we’ve built that ethos into the heart of both Madre and Salon Madre.”

We’ll keep you up to date with their opening times but for now, we'll see you at Salon Madre for a boogie, margarita and game of pool next week.
Award-winning Leeds restaurant announces shock closure just months after opening
Clementine Hall
Emba in Leeds will be closing its doors with the owner blaming rising costs and pressure on the hospitality sector.
Back in April last year, one of Leeds' top restaurants The Owl closed its doors.
Run by renowned Chef Liz Cottam, The Owl was reimagine into Emba - a trendy restaurant tat bridged 'the gap between cosy bar and vibrant dining room'.
To open Emba, Cottam opened a Crowdfunder where supporters would be awarded with prizes such as VIP dinners and merch depending on how much they donated.
But sadly just months after opening, Emba is to close permanently.
Cottam confirmed the sad news with a statement shared with customers over the weekend, saying she was completely "heartbroken".
She said: “This is no longer the right time to own independent restaurants like Emba,” she said. “Under the current conditions they cannot survive and the recent budget confirmed what so many of us already knew: no meaningful help is coming for hospitality.
"The experience of being here and the harsh financial reality of running a business here no longer stack up.
"Being award winning, popular, admired and loved no longer means profitable and as an industry if we’re honest most of us have not truly been okay since Covid."
She signed off the statement promising to return to the restaurant world, she said: “What I do know is this, I am not done. I will keep cooking, keep creating and keep finding ways to do the thing I love.”
