Loved for their unique cocktails offerings and impressive Chinese cuisine, Leeds late-night vendor Power, Corruption & Lies has launched a brand-new foodie offer.

The new promotion aptly labelled ‘Buns N’ Gyozas’ gives you the chance to take advantage of a huge 50% off the bar’s huge bao bun and dim sum range as well as bottles of prosecco from £20.
There’s something for everyone for try from the braised ox cheek to the char siu pork, as well as something for vegans and veggies with the panko oyster mushroom and kung pao tofu bao buns.
This deal isn’t limited to this menu item either, this Leeds independent bar is also slashing the prices of its dim sum offerings too which include a pork and kimchi gyoza and vegan chicken kastu too.
Power, Corruption & Lies are always on hand to serve up some colourful and fruity cocktails as well as some seriously tasty scran, all of which tastes even better when it’s 50% off, yum.

Award-winning Leeds restaurant announces shock closure just months after opening
Clementine Hall
Emba in Leeds will be closing its doors with the owner blaming rising costs and pressure on the hospitality sector.
Back in April last year, one of Leeds' top restaurants The Owl closed its doors.
Run by renowned Chef Liz Cottam, The Owl was reimagine into Emba - a trendy restaurant tat bridged 'the gap between cosy bar and vibrant dining room'.
To open Emba, Cottam opened a Crowdfunder where supporters would be awarded with prizes such as VIP dinners and merch depending on how much they donated.
But sadly just months after opening, Emba is to close permanently.
Cottam confirmed the sad news with a statement shared with customers over the weekend, saying she was completely "heartbroken".
She said: “This is no longer the right time to own independent restaurants like Emba,” she said. “Under the current conditions they cannot survive and the recent budget confirmed what so many of us already knew: no meaningful help is coming for hospitality.
"The experience of being here and the harsh financial reality of running a business here no longer stack up.
"Being award winning, popular, admired and loved no longer means profitable and as an industry if we’re honest most of us have not truly been okay since Covid."
She signed off the statement promising to return to the restaurant world, she said: “What I do know is this, I am not done. I will keep cooking, keep creating and keep finding ways to do the thing I love.”
