11 Eat & Drink in City Centre, Leeds

Leeds is one of the best places in the country to enjoy a Sunday roast – Yorkshire is home to the Yorkshire pudding, after all – and you’d best believe there are plenty of restaurants in Leeds city centre that will serve you up a proper mountain of roast beef with all the trimmings and as much gravy as you care to clog your arteries with. But the traditional British carb hit doesn’t stop with a Sunday Roast, no, no. There are restaurants in the city centre of Leeds where one can find some of the finest fish and chips north of Cornwall – yes, that means pretty much the whole country – and if you track down a pub around Commercial Street, Briggate or Boar Lane, you might even find some proper pork pies.
