The city centre of Leeds has had a bit of a makeover in the past decade, and as it develops so too does the local culinary delights on offer. Leeds Street Food Tour celebrates the city’s diverse and intriguing independent eateries who are serving up lite bites and casual culinary delights.

In the Leeds Street Food Tour you’ll visit two of the city’s established street food hubs. Each of the hubs will take you on a food journey across flavour palettes, cuisines and culture. In a city with such a richly diverse mix of cultures, food is a place where we all find common ground and benefit from each others differences. It also makes for some exciting fusion cooking unlike your typical street food offerings.

In between the hubs Nell, your guide, will call in at a couple of tasty stops with five places included in the tour overall. Over the course of 3 – 4 hours, You’ll enjoy three alcoholic (or soft) beverages as well as tastings in each of the stops along the way resulting in an evening of utter decadence.

As you eat your way through the city you’ll learn about each of the places you visit. With anecdotes and stories of the people behind the food as well as learning about the food itself you’ll come away from the Leeds Street Food Tour feeling full of knowledge as well as delicious food.
