BaoBros23 will be bringing their unique Asian street food creations to Archie's Bar & Kitchen on Granary Wharf.
Award-winning Ossett Brewery are renowned for serving up their exceptional range of craft beer across Yorkshire.
And not only that, often collaborating with local street food vendors in their pubs and bars to tantalise customer's tastebuds whilst they sip on a few beers.
It's safe to say that their brand new venture at Archie's Bar & Kitchen located on Leeds waterfront has got us very excited.
BaoBros23 is an Asian Street food kitchen that has found great success within the Brewery Tap in Marsden and The Bingley in Horbury.

Taking an innovative approach to the beloved bao bun, their famous creation is the 'bao dog' - a fluffy, steamed bao in the shape of, you guessed it, a hot dog.
Stuffed to the brim with exciting fillings such as crispy belly pork and Asian style lobster and crayfish.
And not only that, you can also find a mouthwatering selection of crispy chicken wings, pork ribs and fully loaded fries.
BaoBros23 will be opening inside Archie's Bar & Kitchen on Friday 17 November from 12pm, with free bao buns for the first 100 customers.

Founder of BaoBros23, Dan Woodhead said “We're thrilled to team up with Ossett Brewery once again after the success of The Bingley opening and can’t wait to showcase our culinary creations paired with great beers to the people of Granary Wharf.
“Having the freedom to be creative in the kitchen and coming up with food concepts that sparks happiness for a former place or time, such as our lobster bao-dog that makes us nostalgic about the good old days (nods to a specific memory), while also being able to cater to a variety of different dietary requirements and have our menu be as accessible as possible is what our love for food is all about.”
Jamie Lawson, Ossett Brewery Co-Owner said “As a pub company we are committed to delivering an exceptional experience that combines great beer with the finest foods and believe our partnership with BaoBros23 will not only tantalise the taste buds of our patrons but also breathe new life into this iconic area of Leeds.”
Forget what you know about sausages, because Piper's Sheffield is changing the game.
There's no denying that us Brits love a good sausage.
It's a porky staple that crops up in our diet in numerous forms: sausage and mash, sausage rolls, sausage sandwiches - their versatility is truly inspiring.
But there's one person who loves them more than most, and that's the lovely Nick from Piper's Artisan Sausage.

Located in Crosspool, Piper's is a sort of butchers/deli that specialise in, well, sausages.
They have an ever-changing menu of bangers that are inspired by recipes and flavours from across the globe.
From a roasted butternut squash sausage and a Vietnamese Nem Muong to a pepperoni pizza-inspired sausage, you'll never want to eat a Cumberland ever again.
They even stock a selection of veggie sausages so no one has to miss out on the sausage party (sorry, I had to).

You can buy the sausages raw to take home, perfect for barbecue season if you ask us.
But they also make their own sausage rolls, sandwiches, sauces and plenty more, all using ingredients prepared in-house.
Nick and Libby also smoke their own ham in the back and make their own lasagna which is basically famous at this point, if you're not feeling sausages that day.
So if you're looking to stock up for your next BBQ or after trying something different with your mash, all whilst supporting a local business, then Piper's is the spot for you.
They're stocking high quality products unlike anything you'll find in a supermarket, and we're very lucky to have them here in our city.
An award-winning Leeds restaurant is now serving sandwiches from a street-side hatch
Clementine Hall
One of Leeds' top restaurants has unveiled a brand-new concept brilliantly named 'Here Comes The Bun'.
The Swine Bistro in Headingley is about as perfect as a neighbourhood bistro gets.
Run by husband and wife team Jo and Stu Myers, the cooking comes from the heart, with a menu focused on brilliant produce, seasonal flavours and sustainability. All served in a beautiful, cosy space with around 30 covers.
Back when they were located on North Street in the city centre, to survive during the dreaded lockdown they opened up a sandwich concept named 'Here Comes The Bun' (what a name by the way).

The concept was simple, serving up delicious hot takeaway sandwiches all served in pillowy potato rolls made in-house.
And now the concept is back and better than ever, as Here Comes The Bun is now operating from a street-side hatch just moments away from their restaurant.
There's some core staple items as well as rotating specials meaning you'll be back week after week to find your favourite.

On the core menu you'll find an absolutely stellar brekkie bun powerful enough to wipe out any hangover, and of course your classic fried chicken burger which is crispy, juicy and just downright perfect.
On our visit, the specials included a lamb merguez roll with a sausage patty, harissa mayo, chermoula and slaw as well as a chicken fried steak roll with country gravy.
Whatever the specials are, just know that they'll be absolutely class.
They're currently open every Friday and Sunday, and all you have to do is order via their website, turn up at the hatch, ring the bell and collect your buns. And as if by magic, you'll be treated to the best sandwich you've ever eaten.
