"I thought I knew where all the good food places were in Leeds but I was
wrong - so many new venues I shall be revisiting for sure. Would highly
recommend this tour as excellent value for money" — Google Reviews
Somewhere new, guaranteed.
Been to every stop before? Drinks are on us.
It's never happened, not once, with 1,000+ local guests in the last 12 months.
Led by expert local tour guides who've eaten their way through every corner of the city, you’ll visit 7 independent food venues.
With all food included, every stop will reveal a new flavour, a local story and a reason you'll never look at Leeds the same way again.
You can expect an eclectic mix of restaurants, pubs, street food stalls and speciality shops (including an incredibly indulgent bakery!), with Ellen, Ellie or Lynda guiding you along the way.
This tour is designed as much for locals wanting to find their new favourite spot, as it is for visitors who want to feel instantly at home.

Accessibility
We are happy to adapt the tours for a range of disabilities, including wheelchair users.
Please let us know when you book if you have any accessibility requests. We can allow extra walking time, we can ensure venues are step-free and have wide doors, but we do need to know in advance.
Children
We are able to accomodate babies and toddlers on laps at no extra cost - they will not be provided food but are welcome to share some of yours.
Please let us know in advance if you are bringing a pushchair so we can swap out venues with steps and ensure there is enough baby changing facilities.
For children who want to participate, we don't offer a child ticket but you are welcome to book them an adult ticket and bring them along.
Dogs
Unfortunately our Leeds guided tours are not dog friendly, as Kirkgate Market does not allow dogs and a couple of our venues allow dogs in outside seating areas only.
However we can accomodate dogs on private tours as we are able to change some of the venues, so please contact us at hello@leedsfoodtours.com to enquire.
Our York food tour is very dog friendly!
