Over in Guiseley, there's a restaurant selling epic-looking Yorkshire pudding burgers and we can't help but drool.
Housed inside an old HSBC bank, chic garden-inspired retreat The Potting Shed serves a homegrown menu made fresh daily using locally-sourced ingredients - but there's one, in particular, that has caught our eye.
The Yorkshire pudding burger, known as the 'Yorkshire Black and Blue' is comprised of a hand-pressed beef burger patty, dusted with Cajun spice and topped with tangy blue cheese. Wedged between two fat and fluffy Yorkshire puddings, it's a sight for sore eyes (and hungry bellies).

Served with a portion of fries on the side, it's only £7.95 with a soft drink when you done on the restaurant's lunch deal, which runs from 12-4pm, Monday to Friday.
Outside of these hours, though, you're looking at paying slightly more with the Yorkshire pudding burger priced at just under £12.
Part of an extensive burger list, other tempting options at The Potting Shed include the 'Gnome's revenge' (a pizza sauce-loaded burger with two beef patties, bacon, pepperon, cheese and onion rings on top) and the 'Steak burger' (a beef burger drenched in creamy peppercorn sauce and topped with a 5oz rump steak).

Not forgetting the veggies and vegans, there's also a halloumi burger on the list complemented with red pepper, mixed salad leaves and sweet chilli sauce; a 'garden pizza' loaded with mozzarella, tomato and Mediterranean vegetables, and a spinach, chickpea and sweet potato curry.
Elsewhere, you'll find treats like a stack of black pudding with crispy bacon, shredded mozzarella and smothered with a creamy pepper sauce; a steak and ale pie with fat chips, peas and gravy; 'posh' fish finger sandwiches; rump steak burrito and a huge range of kebabs.
There's also some solid pub grub classics to be enjoyed here, like fish or scampi) with chips, 10oz British Aberdeen Angus 28 day aged rump steak, and a large selection of wood-fired pizzas cooked to order on site.
Even better, they're dog friendly too - so you can bring your pooch along with you whilst you dine (and if you do, you're promised a very warm welcome).

Drinks-wise, there's a good selection of classic and signature cocktails on the menu - with favourites like pornstar and espresso martinis sitting alongside house specials like 'Goose and Juice' (Grey Goose vodka, passionfruit, vanilla, lemonade) and 'Watermelon ginbull' (Gordons Gin and Watermelon Redbull).
In fact, there seems to be quite a penchant for Red Bull-inspired cocktails here - with further examples including the 'Tropical Rumbull', a double shot Havana 3, perfectly served with ice, lime and a full cold can of Red Bull Tropical on the side, and the classic Vodka and Red Bull mixer.
There's also a good list of wines, beers, spritzes, mocktails and gin and tonic perfect serves.
Coupled with charming garden-inspired settings that see the outside firmly brought in, The Potting Shed looks a charming place to while away a few hours with some good food and company.

Reverend and the Makers frontman Jon McClure becomes chairman of Sheffield FC
Reverend and the Makers frontman Jon McClure has officially been confirmed as the new chairman of the oldest football team in the world, Sheffield FC.
He might be a die-hard Wednesday fan, but given the turbulence his lifelong club have been through over the past couple of years, maybe this is the start of a new love affair.
Sheffield FC had teased that important news was coming soon earlier this month, simply writing on socials: "Not long until we can tell all. We’ve been sitting on something big."
As it turns out, the news is that one of the Steel City's most famous and beloved sons is now part of the club's new ownership structure. McClure quickly took to social media to help join in with the announcement as well.
The veteran indie frontman and Day Fever co-founder has continued to branch out from solely music-related ventures, having gone into business not only with multiple names for the smash hit afternoon-into-early evening music festival, but also joining forces with a fellow Sheffielder.
Since November of last year, Jon's has often appeared alongside his brother Chris, who plays the comedy character of 'Steve Bracknall' on the Game's Gone podcast.
A bit like Yorkshire's answer to Alan Partridge, there remains a sporting throughline in pretty much all of the 44-year-old's career at the moment - now so more than ever.
Speaking online, McClure said: "What am I doing at the world’s oldest football club, you ask? Well, meet the new chairman of Sheffield FC.
"Our vision is that we honour the club’s roots and pay homage to its incredible history, whilst restoring it to its former glory." He's already been making his presence known around their home ground.

While some are still looking for updates on the plans to bring the historic outfit back closer to Sheffield proper - the non-league club currently playing at The Home of Football Stadium in Dronfield, Derbyshire - this fresh start for the now oft-neglected native minnows has still sparked some excitement.
At present, 'The Ancients' are in the process of developing a new 5,000-seater arena at the old Sheffield Transport Sports Club site in Meadowhead, which was initially slated to open this year.
But as for the musician, he went on to add that "There’s a lot to be done, but we’re ready to get stuck in and give Sheffield FC the love it deserves"; McClure and co. have dubbed this "a new chapter" for "the first in the world", and the update will no doubt bring some fresh hope to the organisation.
What do you make of the announcement, and is a local figure like Reverend and the Makers' Jon McClure the right person to help take over this community cornerstone and national institution?

Independent Nordic-inspired homeware shop closes Leeds store after six years
Clementine Hall
After six years in the city, independent homeware retailer North Home is closing its Leeds city centre shop.
If you're a lover of all things home then you'll have most likely visited the gorgeous North Home shop in the Victoria Quarter.
Stacked to the brim with unique pieces from striking ceramics to stylish soft furnishings, North Home is known for its well-curated stock and great customer service.
Seriously, we've probably spent a good hour in here in awe of all the beautiful pieces.

Last week, curious shoppers noticed the three-storey store was suddenly empty and now the company have confirmed that they have closed for good.
In a statement, they said: "After nearly 6 wonderful years trading in Leeds, we’ve made the difficult decision to close our physical store while we restructure the business and explore the next chapter for North Home.
"Retail has changed significantly in recent years and, like many independent businesses, we’ve faced increasing costs.

"Taking this step now gives us the opportunity to protect what we’ve built and focus on the future of the brand. North Home continues to operate online and all existing customer orders will be fulfilled as normal although delivery times may be slightly extended.
"We’ve loved being part of the Leeds retail community since 2020 and are incredibly grateful for the support we’ve received. We hope to share more about our plans soon."
We'll be sad to see them go and we hope this isn't goodbye forever, but you can still shop from North Home online here.
