We're officially into spring - and with the new seasons come new food trucks over at Trinity Kitchen.

Following on from a successful stint at Kino, MorMor is kicking off the spring season with a nine week popup at Trinity Kitchen. The Levantine kitchen has been serving up a series of Levantine dishes like chicken shawarma, falafels and some of the creamiest whipped goat's cheese around - and is likely to become a new lunchtime favourite to Trinity Kitchen regulars.

Packed with flavour, grab a meal deal from Jimmy Macks and take full advantage of the three-piece meal for £12. There’s roast squash and black bean soft tacos with charred corn salsa and lime crema or the cult-classic beef brisket birria in crispy folded tacos served with tomato salsa; Mexican chicken with jalapeno salsa and that birria dipping gravy that’s got everyone talking. Every meal deal is served with seasoned fries and a soft drink of your choice, or there’s side portions like loaded nachos and fries to choose from too.

Home of the steam bao, you can grab hoisin brisket, Korean BBQ pulled pork or even braised jackfruit from Superbao. The newcomer truck has plenty of meal deals too - think bao, fries and a soft drink for £8 or opt for a boozy option for a tenner
Disco Dogs

With artwork from the faces behind Sela Bar and popular Trinity Kitchen popup Little Red Eats, Disco Dogs is a brand new venture bringing loaded fries and, you guessed it, hot dogs to Leeds. Choose from smokey, bacon, chilli or cheese options on either of the mains or opt for a meal deal for £11.
Jamrock Leeds

Ahead of the planned re-opening of Jamrock on Kirkgate, the Caribbean foodies will be cooking up a feast. Having previously been known for jerk chicken, ackee and saltfish, curried goat and plenty of vegan and veggie options - it's exciting to see Jamrock back in Leeds after closing its original restaurant back last year.

Bramley’s independent festival is back after a sell-out first year.
Three local businesses, no corporate sponsor, one big day.
That's the motto of Mill Fest - an indie festival returning to Swinnow Grange Mills in Bramley after a sell-out debut that brought more than 600 people through the gates.
Mill Fest began as a shared idea between three Bramley businesses who fancied putting on a proper day out for the area, and we're so glad they did.
Last August it turned Swinnow Grange Mills into a full day of live music, street food, flash tattoos, market stalls and cold pints in the sun. We can't think of a better way to spend the day to be honest.

This year Mill Fest is back and taking place on Sunday 2 August, and the plan is simple - keep what made it work and build on it.
There will be a full day of live music, the return of the flash tattoo day, more independent traders, street food and local beer. This time the team is keen to bring in more businesses and faces from around the area, and the full lineup and programme will be announced over the coming weeks.

Owen Wilson from Against the Grain Bar said: “We started this because we wanted to put something on for Bramley, run by the people who actually work here. Last year went better than any of us expected. The place was full, the sun came out, and it felt like the whole area showed up. We can’t wait to do it again.”
Danae Miller from Grays Salon said: "The aim for this year is the same day people loved, just a bit bigger. We’d love to get more local businesses and artists involved, and to see even more familiar faces down at the mill. If we get the weather, it’ll be another one to remember.”
American rapper cancels rescheduled Leeds gig AGAIN due to ‘ongoing illness’
Clementine Hall
Action Bronson cancels Leeds gig for a second time, and it's safe to say fans aren't happy.
Ariyan Arslani, better known by his stage name Action Bronson, is an American rapper, chef and TV personality with a huge following.
The star was meant to perform at Project House last Tuesday 30 June but the show was cancelled the morning of, and subsequently the venue released an updated date of Tuesday 7 July.
It seems fans of Bronson may be experiencing some deja vu, as the gig has yet again been cancelled with short notice.
Except this time, no rescheduled date has been given.

The statement by Project House reads: "We have been informed by Action Bronson's team that regrettably, due to an ongoing illness he will be unable to perform at Project House this evening.
"We're incredibly sorry to be cancelling at such short notice. We had hoped last week's postponements would allow for sufficient recovery time but sadly, that has not been the case. Action is as disappointed as we are and we'd like to wish him all the best. Refunds will be issued from the point of purchase."
And it's fair to say the comments are...interesting, with fans far from happy about a second cancellation.
One comment reads: "Well enough to play two shows in London and one in the Netherlands, but just can’t seem to shake a cold to get to Leeds."
Whilst another disappointed fan commented: "He’s not ill guys! Obviously not a knock on the lovely folks at project house, but that’s a bullshit reason he and his team have come up with for insurance purposes!"
