I've always been a meat eater, but a new vegan takeaway in Hyde Park is now firmly on my radar as one of the best places in Leeds to grab a burger on the go.

Friends of Food has been set up by a trio of former University of Leeds students just a stone's throw from the Parkinson Building and it's already carving a name for itself among the city's student population.

Absolutely everything on the menu is plant-based, from the 'Gouda cheese' to the 'meat patties' - but it doesn't detract from the taste whatsoever.

The signature burger oozes with flavour, with the smoked Gouda cheese and the pickles making sure it's anything but dull.

Likewise, the shroom burger is caked in A crispy case of rosemary breadcrumbs. Pickled beetroot, onion jam and truffle mayo are also crammed inside the brioche bun.

The burgers aren't the only things bursting with flavour. The rosemary chips are sensational, while the kimchi is a nice side option if you're a big fan of ginger.

So forget the extortionate prices at Five Guys and traditional greasy burger vans and head to Friends of Food for something that's a little bit different - but still packed full of flavour.
