FAQs

If you book a guided food tour, you'll receive an email letting you know the start point.

I'll meet you there and take you to six places in Leeds: a mixture of pubs, restaurants and food stalls. At each stop I'll tell you about the restaurant while we wait for our food, which I've carefully selected to showcase the venue.

Throughout the tour I'll also tell you some fun food facts, and some of the history of food & drink in Leeds.

Food is included at every stop, and there's plenty of it!

The self-guided tours give you the option to do a food tour at your own pace, at a time that suits you.

Choose to collect your tour pack from the start point or have it sent to you. Inside you'll find a map (with QR code if you want to go digital), instructions, venue information cards, foodie fact cards, and tokens which are traded at each stop for a carefully selected dish.

You will have a few options to choose from at most stops, including a vegan option at every stop.

One self-guided tour covers two people, so if you're a couple you'll only need one pack. If you're in a larger group, please purchase one tour for every two people.

Expect to feel full by the end. You won't need a meal before or after the tour!

On the guided tour, each stop consists of either a main course shared between two, sharing platters for the table or a small, individual portion. An alcoholic drink is also included on this tour.

The self-guided tour focuses on street food, which is perfect for sharing! Some stops have individual portions, whilst some are a larger dish shared between two.

I'll keep the details a suprise!

On the 'Local Leeds' guided tour we visit a mixture of old pubs and modern restaurants, with a stop in the market too. Each stop is an independent business, with a focus on local ingredients.

On the self-guided tour, you'll visit six street food vendors. All of these are indoors e.g. pop up kitchens within a pub or street food halls. Again, all independent with a focus on local ingredients.

Yes! If you're on a self-guided tour there will be a vegan option at every stop. If you're booking a guided tour, please just email me at hello@leedsfoodtours.com after you book to let me know of any dietary requirements.

Allergies can be catered for, but I cannot guarantee that there will be no traces in the kitchens at each venue.

If you're on a self-guided tour, please let each venue know.

If you're booking a guided tour, please email me at hello@leedsfoodtours.com when you book to let me know of any dietary requirements.

There's no minimum age for the guided tours (and I've had a guest a young as 3 weeks old before!). Alcohol is included, but won't be served to under 18s.

Self-guided tours also have no minimum age, but some venues don't allow under 18s in after 8pm so please bear this in mind when planning your tour.

Most of the guests on my food tours are local, hoping to find new places to eat in the city. Nearly everyone that's ever been on the guided tour has discovered somewhere they haven't been before, even if they know the city well!

Absolutely - these are my favourite kind of tours! If you are booking for a large group or would like a bespoke tour (e.g. drinks pairings along the way!) then please get in touch at hello@leedsfoodtours.com
