One of Leeds' favourite restaurants has had a gorgeous summer glow-up.
After gracing Leeds with beautiful fine-dining in the heart of the city centre almost ten years ago, Crafthouse hasn't looked back since its opening.
Now, bringing its stunning rooftop setting into the summer season, the Michelin-guide recommended restaurant and bar has had an exciting makeover- just in time for summer.

Expect a beautiful escape from the everyday on the rooftop with plenty of greenery and decor inspired by the changing of the seasons.
Zoe Yeoh the General Manager at Crafthouse explained: “Located in the heart of the city and with a view of the rooftops across the town, we have been inspired to develop our décor to bring the outside in. Mixing town and country and creating a green oasis for our diners to enjoy.

“The light, fresh and full of life scheme aims to relax our diners and envelop them in a world away from the day to day.”
Head Chef Simon Jewitt has even made alterations to the menu to reflect the interior changes with delicious choices of Nori cured Loch Duart salmon and pea & lemon verbena risotto soon to be firm summer favourites.

The A La Carte menu is also now reflective of the seasonal produce available, with the likes of pan fried cod and roasted cauliflower gnocchi with Swiss chard, ver jus grapes, almond foam, as well as barbecued maitake mushroom with broad bean and sorrel salad, black garlic purée, finished with nasturtium making an appearance on the new sunshine-inspired menu.
Meat-eaters will also be delighted to find the Hereford fillet of beef offerings with pastrami short rib, crispy potato terrine confit roscoff onion and watercress purée as an ideal late evening dinner option whilst day drinkers and salad conessuiers are expected to be blown away by the effortless heritage tomato & buffalo burrata salad, romesco sauce with lovage and parmesan.

Popular New York-style pop-up pizza business to open first takeaway in Leeds
Announcing the news to Instagram, Edge's Pizza said: "Well there’s good reason for our silence over the last few months, (planning permission pending) we’ve got a home! Seven months of looking and we’ve learnt so much on this journey already, from investment that didn’t work out, to dodgy buildings not fit for purpose. We’ve got there in the end.
"All that to say, we pride ourselves on perfection and wouldn’t settle for anything less. We hope this will be worth the wait, and that you’ll support us on this next huge step. We are terrified to say the least, but we’re also so excited and immensely grateful to you our lovely customers for this opportunity."

This would be great news for Leeds, as their pizza is something unlike anything we have in the city at the moment.
Forget the floppy, Neapolitan-slices that you fold before shoving in your gob. These slices are satisfyingly thin, perfectly crispy and just downright delicious.
We would love to welcome Edges Pizza to the city and we'll keep you updated with the progress. You can bet we'll be the first to order.
Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Clementine Hall
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.
