Yorkshire pudding wraps, buffalo burgers, Indian food and vegetarian dishes, are just some of the many tasty treats on offer at this event.

For the very first time, the event will include a traditional British tea room, a large festival marquee bar serving local craft and traditional real ales, gin, cocktails, prosecco and Pimms, and live musical entertainment.

Leader of Leeds City Council, Councillor Judith Blake, said: “It’s wonderful to see the Leeds Food and Drink Festival returning and it’s always one of the highlights of the summer each and every year.

“It’s also a real opportunity to showcase the city’s world class food, drink and leisure offering and the growing number of impressive and inventive street food traders we have in Leeds.
