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.

Whether you're popping in for a slap-up steak dinner or gathering with family for a Sunday roast that will knock your socks off, Bavette will never disappoint.
And if you work in the industry, then we've got some good news for you as every Tuesday you can get 50% off all drinks at Bavette throughout September. What a winner.

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.
So, tell your hospitality pals and get a table booked so you can make the most out of this fantastic offer.
If it's good enough for Anton Stach, then it's good enough for us.
Well, it really is the signing that nobody saw coming...and it’s happening right opposite the station.
Meat:Stack, the Newcastle-born, award-winning burger joint on Bishopgate Street in Leeds, is giving the people what they want - a burger with Anton Stach’s name on it.
Introducing ‘The Moustachi Burger', officially launching Tuesday 18 August where Anton Stach himself will be down at Meat:Stack to meet United fans, sign autographs and, of course, tuck into his very own creation.

Even better, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to The Elhadj Diouf Foundation (EDF), a charity chosen by Stach that supports children through education.
Not only that, but it's a great opportunity to support Meat:Stack that has been suffering from the ongoing road works for months on end now.
So really, you've got no excuse to come down and tuck into the special which will be available through the opening weeks of the season.
Anton Stach, Leeds United and Germany midfielder, added: “Leeds has felt like home from very early on, and a lot of that is the people and the places around the ground, the businesses fans go to before and after a game. Meat:Stack is one of them, and they’ve had a hard time with the building work on their doorstep. The Moustachi Burger is a lovely nod to my YouTube channel too.
"This is a team on the rise in a city on the comeback, and support has to go both ways. I wanted to back a business Leeds fans care about and raising money for a foundation my family has given so much to at the same time means everything. I’ll be there on the 18th, bring your appetite.”
Independent Leeds coffee shop crowned one of the UK’s best for 2026
Clementine Hall
A list of the UK's best independent coffee shops for 2026 has been released, and one in Leeds has come up trumps.
The coffee shop in question may come as no surprise to some of you, as some would say that after 15 years in the city it's become somewhat of an institution.
Of course it's none other than Laynes.
Founded in 2011 by Dave Olejnik, Laynes began life on New Station Street and quickly became one of the first venues in Leeds to focus on carefully sourced and roasted coffee beans, helping lead the way for the city's now-thriving independent coffee scene.

It's a proper Leeds staple at this point, sat proudly with its glowing yellow exterior and queues out the door full of punters looking for their morning caffeine fix.
But it's not just us who think it's flipping fantastic, as a new study has revealed the top 10 most popular independent coffee shops in the country and Laynes comes in at a very respectable number 8.
The list, made by Capital on Tap, analysed coffee across the UK looking at Google reviews, monthly searches and social media success.
Laynes was in some pretty good company including Idle Hands in Manchester and Kaf Coffee in Glasgow. But most importantly, none of the top 10 were in London - make of that what you will.
The top 10 most popular independent coffee shops for 2026:
Neighbourhood Café, Belfast
Colonna & Small’s, Bath
Established Coffee, Belfast
Hard Lines Coffee, Cardiff
Rough Handmade, Liverpool
Idle Hands Coffee, Manchester
Full Court Press, Bristol
Laynes Espresso, Leeds
Kaf Coffee, Glasgow
Dom’s Coffee, Cambridge
Bravo Laynes, a well earned accolade for one of our favourite spots in the city.
