The iconic waterside venue will host a series of tasty food pop-ups to celebrate the fantastic Leeds food scene.
Feeling hungry? We hope so, because we're in for a very delicious couple of months as Water Lane Boathouse prepare for the highly anticipated return of their summer food series.
Opening up their beautiful canal-side garden (which is the ultimate sun trap by the way) to a selection of food vendors, guests can expect a real celebration of our fantastic food offering that we're lucky to have right here in Leeds.
Kicking things off on Saturday 13 July is Oliver Awards winner Herencia who will be making their debut at Water Lane Boathouse.

Just a couple weeks later on Saturday 27 July, Leeds favourites Stuzzi will be hosting their very own outdoor pop-up. Expect delicious Italian street food from the boys that know it best.
Local legends, Sabroso Street Food, will be hosting the venue's annual taco and tequila event on Saturday 24 August which you most definitely don't want to miss out on.
Each pop-up aims to celebrate the fantastic food on offer in the city of Leeds, with the venue serving up seasonal drinks from the outdoor bar and resident DJs for the perfect summer afternoon.

Alongside the guest food traders, the venue’s ever-popular dog show, Scruffs, will make a return for its sixth year.
Featuring a number of categories including scruffiest pooch and waggiest tail, customers will be able to register their dogs on arrival and collect votes on the scoreboard before the winners are announced at the end of the day and prizes are awarded.
And the best part is, each event is completely free to attend and you can order your food from each individual trader as much as you please.
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
Inside the modern Japanese grill coming to Leeds from the team behind Fern Modern Sushi
Clementine Hall
We've been very excited about this one.
If you know anything about the Leeds food scene, then you'll know the absolute legend that is Chef Fern.
Her first restaurant, Fern Modern Sushi, is a firm favourite amongst locals and visitors alike. Known for their expertly crafted sushi made with the freshest fish on offer.
And now, she's turning her attention to her second venture - Tori Nori.

Tori Nori is a modern Japanese grill and bar inspired by the bustling izakayas of Tokyo.
Everything is centred around the fiery robata grill where guests can watch the chefs cook everything from grilled fish to delicious yakitori skewers right in front of their very eyes.
All designed to share, this is a place to hang out with friends, enjoy some delicious food and maybe sink a few Japanese-inspired cocktails whilst you're at it.

Located on Vicar Lane, the space has had a whole refurb and it's looking fantastic. Complete with perfectly moody lighting, plush banquette seating and beautiful Japanese-inspired wallpaper.
The menu features an entire yakitori menu, from cheesy chicken thighs and pork belly to grilled king prawn and Japanese A5 wagyu all grilled over charcoal.
There's also Fern's signature sushi on the menu, as well as big plates to share such as teryaki half chickens and miso lamb chops.

You just know that everything Fern touches turns to gold but don't just take our word for it, get yourself to Tori Nori and try it out for yourselves.
Tori Nori will officially open its doors on Friday 10 April. Find out more and book your table here.
