Trinity Kitchen has been closed this week to make room for some rather unusual additions to the food court.
Trinity shopping centre will be welcoming some new additions to the Trinity Kitchen food court next week.
The major rebrand is bringing the likes of a VW Camper Van to the food court, along with the return of the repurposed horse trailer and others, which are yet to be unveiled.
The food court welcomed an old Pergeot J7 last year and due to its success, there will be four new pre-loved vans added to the collection, which was previously occupied byThe Pickled Porker. Specialising in smokehouse classics using free-range and locally-reared produce, everything on the menu is smoked for a minimum of 12 hours over applewood, oak and hickory wood chips for maximum flavour.

Since November, the shopping centre’s street food kitchen has also been home to Luigi Street Food, Spuds and Bros, Nelly’s Barn and Bombay Grab. The new vendors will be announced along with the refurb's unveiling next Monday 7 February.
Before the Trinity Kitchen took a short break for renovations, the street food trucks were paid a visit by Rate My Takeaway legend, Danny Malin.
It wasn't just the food at Luigi's that the takeaway champion was impressed with, Danny was keen to express his excitement at all the trucks in Trinity Kitchen:
"They're chucking some flavours together of the highest standards... some of these are the best in the land I'll tell ya".
You can see the changes to Trinity Kitchen for yourself on Monday 7 February- but if you can't wait til then, go have a sneak peek up on the top floor of the shopping centre to find out what's going on.

A sandwich shop in Leeds is expanding to the suburbs.
Famed for it’s toasted Cuban sandwiches, stacked subs and loaded breakfast bagels - Alfonsos Deli has made a name for itself for serving some of the best sandwiches around the city.
Such a good reputation in fact, that they’ve just announced a second location over in the leafy suburb of Horsforth. Get in.
Currently, you'll find Alfonso's in the Grand Arcade where their light-filled and airy space is slinging out sandwiches non-stop until sell-out.

It's not just sandwiches, though. They're also serving up fantastic Cuban coffee, beer and even Cuban cigars.
Basically, it's everything you'd expect to find in a deli in Miami.
The team shared the news of the expansion on social media, confirming that a brand-new Horsforth site is on the way.
While an official opening date is yet to be revealed, the announcement has already sparked plenty of excitement among loyal customers, many of whom have been calling for a second location since the deli first opened.
Alfonso's has built a devoted following in Leeds, with its signature Cubano sandwich becoming a firm favourite, while its breakfast bagels draw queues of hungover punters through the doors.
The move to Horsforth marks the next chapter for the independent business, bringing its popular menu to a whole new neighbourhood. And they're in fantastic company too, in a suburb that is flourishing with independent local businesses.
If the success of the Grand Arcade site is anything to go by, the new deli is likely to be just as busy from day one. More details, including an opening date and the full menu, are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Good luck to the team, we can't wait to check it out.
Miniature tiramisu drawers have landed in Leeds
Clementine Hall
The tiramisu hype lives on, and this time it's coming to Leeds.
It really does feel like the traditional Italian dessert has taken the world by storm as of late.
Everything from tiramisu cups and tiramisu coffees have been popping up all over our feed, and now tiramisu in drawer form is popping up in the city centre.
Misu Tiramisu is an independent business that began at Manchester's Christmas Markets and quickly became one of the most popular operators, all thanks to its miniature tiramisu ‘drawers’.

The individually portioned and colourfully packaged desserts quickly became one of town’s top puddings, and owners Aleem and Aishah went on to launch a stand inside the Manchester Arndale too.
And now they’re branching out again in Leeds inside Trinity shopping centre for a two month residency.
You’ll find all their delicious flavours of handmade tiramisu, including classic, pistachio, chocolate, Biscoff, mango, and lemon - they'll also have some gluten-free tiramisu on offer as well, so no one has to miss out.

Misu Tiramisu owners Aleem and Aishah spent a year refining the recipe for their tiramisus after a trip to Milan, first launching with their first market stall in Sale.
Misu Tiramisu is now open inside Trinity shopping centre opposite Boots Opticians and Pop Specs.
They're open every day of the week for you to get your tiramisu fix, from 9am to 8pm Monday to Saturday and from 11am to 5pm on a Sunday.
And trust us Leeds, they're just as delicious as they are adorable.
