5.00I wanted to say thank you to our management team for all their hard work — so I planned a little surprise day out! 😉 Always a risk in case they hated it! We loaded into taxis and headed into Leeds to meet Ellen, our guide for the afternoon. We finally revealed the surprise and ended up having the best four hours eating and drinking our way around some of Leeds’ most iconic and hidden gems! What a great day we had! The perfect balance of a little Leeds history and sampling some of the city’s hottest spots! Can't recommend this brilliant day out enough! Big thanks to: Whitelock’s Ale House Chilli-Shop Leeds Merrion Centre Neon Cactus 🌵 Underground Bakery @delhiwala @amazinggyoza Leeds Markets
Happy to have added Leeds to our trip.

5.00Leeds was a great surprise. Coming back after forty years the place is transformed. The developments in the canal areas are a welcome change with most heritage buildings benefiting. The new plaza areas are a good addition. Lots of food options along with some nice pubs. Enjoyed the Light Leeds’ installations or as we know it “Nuit Blanche “
A great day out

5.00My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon in Leeds being introduced to some new places to eat and drink. As Leeds is such a big city, it was nice to have some great eating places pointed out to us. Our future trips into the city will be all the more enjoyable, having a base to start from. Ellen was a delightful guide, very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend to people interested in good food.
Don't eat anything that...

5.00What a great way to spend an afternoon, my friend and I throughly enjoyed meeting the very knowledgable and friendly guide Lynda as well as the other foodies that were with us. The food venues were all very different but excellently chosen some were tasters and some more substantial meals, you will not go home hungry!
Absolute RIP OFF

2.00How can anyone sell something that isn’t the full product. We did the Leeds street food tour yesterday & brought friends with us. The voucher was £60 per person & said we go to 6 different venues to eat. You are told you can’t have everything off the menu we are only allowed small plates which was priced on all menus at £5. (1 taco & 1 Boa bun) We was happy to eat at all 6 places but, Northern Monk told us they’d not sold food for a few years now & Neon Cactus was closed for refurbishment so we had 4 venues to eat all costing around £5. So my maths tells me the voucher should be £20 not £60. What an absolute rip off. Please if you are aware 2 venues won’t be serving food at least have the decency to arrange somewhere else for the tour. RIP OFF
A very enjoyable afternoon.

3.00Generally good - wouldn’t have eaten quite so many chips if I’d known the best bit ie the Asian street food was to follow. Would have preferred something sweet at the end as opposed to the bao bun

4.00Enjoyed the tour but would have preferred the Indian course at around course 4 as by course 7 I was very full. It would have been nice to have had a dessert course. As a large group it felt as though we were drinking quickly to get to the next course but Lynda was great.
Enjoying life group

5.00What a wonderful Sunday afternoon in Leeds on the food tour. Lynda was very knowledgeable and managed our group 14 extremely well. We were all very full at the end of the tour. I would highly recommend. 😁
