The highly anticipated new all-day drink and dining venue is very close to opening, and now we’re getting a sneak peek of what to expect.
The masterminds behind one of Leeds’ most beloved pubs, Whitelock’s Ale House, are bringing to the city White Cloth Hall, a brand new food and drink hall.
Based at White Cloth Hall (obviously), the 250-year-old unit is set to become one of the city’s newest dining hot spots, hosting multiple options for those looking to wine and dine in a piece of Leeds heritage.
They’ve been chipping away behind the scenes for almost a year now, and now it’s starting to get very real as the first three resident kitchens have been announced.
First up, the legends at Pizza Loco are bringing a new venture – Morty’s Focacceria, a new exclusive pizza and slice bar that we can’t wait to get our chops around.
Next up, Headingley gem Kuala Lumpar Cafe will be bringing their bold Malaysian flavours to the city centre. Expect colourful and flavourful Nasi Lemak, Rendang curries, Roti Canai and so much more.
Last but no means least, Whitelock’s will be bringing their new venture Lupton’s Chop House to the hall.
Inspired by the Victorian chop houses of all, this new grill and oyster bar we will be celebrating provenance and quality with interesting cuts of meat and the very freshest seafood.
The name is a nod to another Victorian classic – the legendary John Lupton Whitelock was the first Licensee of Whitelock’s in the late 1800s, and the man who gave Whitelock’s its current name, and so it really is the perfect fit.
Our bellies are already rumbling, and until they open their doors we’ll be waiting on tenterhooks for any further announcements.
To keep an eye out for yourself, take a look at White Cloth Hall’s instagram page.
