Leeds Indie Food returns with a showstopping line-up for 2022

Leeds’ legendary celebration of independent food and drink is back for 2022, and it’s on a mission to promote the city as the ultimate foodie destination. Leeds Indie Food 2022 kicks off on May 19th, which marks the beginning of 10 days of unique experiences, events and collaborations from some of the best indie food and drink businesses around.

Highlights include a meeting of minds between Ox Club and Kirkstall Brewery, who are joining forces to lay on an exclusive tasting menu filled with Yorkshire produce and beers old and new.



Rolling Social Events is also set to team up with Starward Whisky and The Tetley to put on a unique, local supper club experience, and again with Plantation Rum and Bastards Bistro for rum-based shenanigans at Grindhouse on Upper Briggate.

Handmade pasta specialists Sarto will team up with Latitude for an evening of exquisite food and drink. The evening, set to take place on 25th May, will include a five-course meal paired with aperitifs, wines and digestifs.

Leeds Indie Food x Friends of Ham Anthony Bourdain inspired tasting menu

Exclusive collabs are just the start of this year’s incredible Leeds Indie Food programme, which also includes a vegan yoga and brunch event at The Tetley on May 21st, where lovers of mindful movement can focus on breath as well as breakfast. ‘Parts Unknown: A hammage to Anthony Bourdain’ will be presented by Friends of Ham, inspired by the cult culinary hero’s trips to Spain and Italy, a 5-course tasting menu will be paired with various wines, beers & cocktails. Each course will be introduced and inspired by a clip from the award-winning ‘Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.



Further exclusive events during the week will see authentic Italian cuisine Stuzzi host an evening of ‘zero miles dining’. Celebrating a whole host of local independent suppliers who supply Stuzzi on a weekly basis, produce will be provided by Yorkshire farms, producers, foragers and farmers. And Bao fans (i.e. everyone) will be treated to one of Little Bao Boy’s infamous Laksa evenings.
