Beloved restaurant returns to Leeds under new name, ‘The Swine Bistro’
A popular Leeds restaurant ‘The Swine That Dines’ has announced the opening date of the much anticipated, The Swine Bistro – it’s new restaurant on Otley Road, Headingley.
Executive chef Stu Myers and new Head Chef, Kirsty Cheetham of Swine Bistro, have developed an expanded menu whilst staying true to their culinary roots.
What’s new for The Swine Bistro?
Jo Myers, co-owner of The Swine Bistro said: “It’s taken a huge amount of time and effort to realise our dream to revamp what was previously a hairdresser into a fully functioning kitchen and restaurant. It’s been a wild ride but we’re excited, and slightly nervous, to finally open our doors.”
“We love the vibe in Headingley and the time out has allowed us to have fun with our menu as well as take part in lots of essential taste testing. We can’t wait to welcome guests into our new restaurant!”
The menu will change seasonally with weekly specials, highlights including pork & pistachio sausage with lentils watercress, and mushrooms and twice-baked comte cheese souffle with hazelnut, sage & fennel.
Customers can pair their mains with a selection of natural wines, as well as local beers from Ilkley Brewery and Horsforth Brewery.

The team has partnered with a variety of Yorkshire suppliers including R&J Yorkshire for its fresh meat, Tarbetts fishmonger, cheese from George & Joseph cheesemongers and beans from micro roaster, Chipp Coffee Co.
Classic desserts include a tempting custard tart with rhubarb ice cream, or a sweet raspberry frangipane and vanilla ice cream.
The move to a bigger restaurant was the result of a successful crowdfunding campaign the team at Swine Bistro ran in 2024 where it raised £42,000.
Jo Myers adds: “Now we have a bigger, better kitchen we will finally be able to fulfil our crowdfunding pledges of lemon meringue pies, Swine pies and cookery masterclasses with Stu.”
