Thoroughly enjoyed Ellen's Leeds Food Tour. Excellent array of food, with the highlight being the market. She is like a minor celebrity there; everyone knows her! She was very knowledgeable about Leeds and gives historical information that is interesting and unusual. I liked the fact that the tour was focused around Leeds but included some other high-quaity British produce also. Perfect for an afternoon with friends or family. In true Leeds style I was full and slightly tiddly by the end. I couldn't believe the amount of food, drink and attention we got for the price.I had never been on a food tour before. So, it was a spontaneous idea to join the second offering of Leeds Food Tours. And I am so glad I did! Ellen is a fantastic host and very knowledgeable about the history of food and drink in Leeds with a passion for sharing the information with you. It was...
I had never been on a food tour before. So, it was a spontaneous idea to join the second offering of Leeds Food Tours. And I am so glad I did! Ellen is a fantastic host and very knowledgeable about the history of food and drink in Leeds with a passion for sharing the information with you. It was wonderful getting to experience some of the hidden gems and independents of Leeds. Ellen had arranged for us to visit at least six different places with a variety of food with an option of water, carbonated drink, or adult beverages. Enjoy a nice walk through Leeds city centre with a personable guide and leave with a full stomach and brain full of unusual information. You will not be disappointed!Whether you're a visitor/new to Leeds or are Leeds born & bred - this is an absolute must-do! Such a different day out exploring both the city and independent eateries that you'd easily walk past.The tour guide, Ellen, is so knowledgeable and passionate that it's truly infectious.

Whether you're a visitor/new to Leeds or are Leeds born & bred - this is an absolute must-do! Such a different day out exploring both the city and independent eateries that you'd easily walk past.The tour guide, Ellen, is so knowledgeable and passionate that it's truly infectious. Great value for money as well, as you're nicely full afterwards and alcohol is included in half the stops! Great for families or a group of mates wanting to do something a bit different - I'm definitely taking my parents as a unique birthday present (she does vouchers!).Just when you think you know a place, someone comes and pulls the rug from under your feet!

Just when you think you know a place, someone comes and pulls the rug from under your feet! Leeds Food Tours is an enjoyable and immersive way to experience the city and have a good bite to eat on the way round. Ellen, the guide and owner, is incredibly knowledgeable on both her food and her city; she made the group feel at home immediately and I don’t think anyone left hungry! Without giving too much away, you’ll experience some great local produce, in some of Leeds’ best and most loved independent pubs and restaurants plus a well curated trip around Leeds market. Apparently Ellen has some more tours in the pipeline... Count me in!Went on this tour with my wife and we had such a great time. The host is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and took us to places we have never been before/even heard of despite living in the city for some years.

Went on this tour with my wife and we had such a great time. The host is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and took us to places we have never been before/even heard of despite living in the city for some years. All of the stops served us some great food and I had some things I would never normally order from a menu but thoroughly enjoyed. Would highly recommend this tour to visitors to the city or anyone local looking to find some great new places to eat. Thanks for a lovely day out, SamI've lived in Leeds for seven years and grew up not far away, yet the city still surprises me. I thought I knew it all but I was wrong. Deliciously wrong.

I've lived in Leeds for seven years and grew up not far away, yet the city still surprises me. I thought I knew it all but I was wrong. Deliciously wrong. Ellen provided not only multiple courses for the mouth and stomach, she provided a carefully crafted tasting menu of historic knowledge for the mind. I'm surprised at how little I actually knew about Leeds' food and drink history and the general history of the city. I won't spoil anything but to say it was an eye opener is an understatement. Furthermore, we were treated to a wide variety of foods from city institutions both new and old. Full advantage was taken of Kirkgate Market (which I still think is underappreciated by many). Fish, chicken, cheeses, veg and charcuterie meats took us all on a culinary ride through Leeds that establishes it as both a local produce champion and cosmopolitan destination for the discerning food lover. Ellen's knowledge and passion are clear examples of how much she loves the city and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. It also shows in her relationships with many of the traders at the market that she's deeply entrenched in the championing of Leeds, its traders and the culianry produce it offers. This tour is perfect for newcomers to the city, people here on a visit or even locally-produced residents such as myself. I'm looking forward to the next one.
