This restaurant in Leeds is selling epic-looking Yorkshire pudding burgers

Tangy blue cheese and a hand-pressed beef burger patty stuffed between two fluffy Yorkshire pudding? Yes please.

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.
