We’re absolutely over the moon to have been named one of the @goodfoodguideuk Top 100 Best Local Restaurants in the UK, coming in at #80.

It’s been a whirlwind three months since opening. This kind of recognition, coming so soon, feels a little ahead of schedule, but has definitely come as a welcome surprise for which we’re extremely grateful.

Huge thanks to all the wonderful guests who’ve joined us so far. Whether you’ve joined us for a quick pint, a glass of wine or a meal with family and friends, thank you. This wouldn’t have been possible without your incredible support.

Thank you to our incredible team, The Smithfield runs on your enthusiasm, diligence and energy!

And, thank you to the Good Food Guide for this acknowledgement.

We’re still young and our focus continues to be creating a welcoming community space, serving food and drinks we’re proud of, championing British and local produce and contributing to Leeds’s thriving hospitality scene

Massive congratulations to Leeds own @bavettebistro and @empirecafeleeds, both amazing establishments consistently raising the bar for what can be achieved in this city.

Congratulations to all the yorkshire venues @blackwheatclub @the_nettle_ @theorangebirdcanteen @normans_restaurant who were recognised in the top 100 local restaurants.

Here’s to many more plates, pints and amazing company….

...and here's to Leeds!

Whole Roast Turbot is this weekend’s sharer on the specials board. Around 1.2kg, roasted until it falls off the bone and doused in chicken fat butter and crispy chicken skin, with enough meaty, gelatinous flesh to feed 2-3 people as a main, and plenty of that butter left over for dipping your chips. taken in The Smithfield by @the_smithfield

I can’t believe it took me this long to visit @the_smithfield BUT now I have I’ll not stop shouting about it! And will be recommending left right and centre.

📍 North Street

Fun fact while we were there they actually got too that they had made it in the prestigious Michelin Guide… which having sampled the food, the service the atmosphere I can totally see why. So well deserved.

Head chef @jamesdonovanchef nails the elevated creative dishes that still somehow don’t feel fussy or over complicated. The menu changes, which I love. Local suppliers seasonal ingredients and perfect execution!

The welcome social and relaxed atmosphere makes you wanna stay for “just one more”… which we defo did.

Yep I’m gunna say it… this is a Leeds gem. One for the foodies! And I love that they have paid so much homage to our beloved Reliance. Well done sirs 👏🏽🫡 🫶🏽.

On the menu at The Smithfield, Leeds 🐔⁠
⁠
When The Smithfield took over the much loved former Reliance site on North Street this spring, they had big shoes to fill and they've filled them properly! A collaboration between Crooked Brewing and chef James Donovan, it's an independent pub and dining room built around seasonal, locally sourced Yorkshire produce, generous sharing plates and a proper welcome!⁠
⁠
On their menu right now: roasted Herb Fed chicken with Cyprus roasted potatoes and gem lettuce salad. Simple, seasonal, done right and exactly how our birds deserve to be served. ⁠
⁠
Just three months after opening, they were named one of the best local restaurants in Britain by the Good Food Guide. That tells you everything about the standards in that kitchen.⁠
⁠
If you're in Leeds, get yourself down to North Street. ⁠

We’re very pleased and grateful to have been included in the Michelin Guide.

To get this kind of recognition so early in our journey is a real honour, and one we certainly don’t take for granted.

Thank you to our wonderful guests for your continued support. Also, huge thanks to our brilliant team. The Smithfield is what it is because of your hard work, enthusiasm, energy and diligence. This recognition belongs to you.

We’re also hugely grateful to @michelinguide for the acknowledgement and for shining a light on what we’re trying to build here in Leeds.

We’re just getting started, and our focus remains the same: creating a welcoming space for our community, serving food and drink we’re proud of, championing great British and local produce, and contributing our small part towards Leeds’ brilliant hospitality scene.

This is a special one! it marks one year of Chomped so we’re going all out with a big ol’ vegan feast.

We’re buzzing that @the_smithfield invited us to takeover their kitchen and dining room. And it only makes sense to celebrate the launch of issue 4 with a supper club.

You can expect copious amounts of delicious scan from the kitchen baddie duo @bethshindler2.0 and @jaz.christou, as ever experimenting with vegetables to make them as sexy as possible. We’ll be tapping into the transitional vegetables as we say goodbye to summer and give a warm hug to all the autumnal produce coming in. We’ve got our eyes on aubergine, sweetcorn and fig leaves at the moment.

Our goal is facilitating connection. And this time round we’re bringing out sharing platters so you can chat with fellow cuties whilst you eat. Whether you book as individuals or groups we’re here to help you meet and connect with each other.

To book a spot you can grab a ticket from our Big Cartel shop (link in bio) Tickets are on a sliding scale £25, £30 and £35 depending on what you are able to and comfortable paying. If you can afford a higher tier please consider doing so as it helps cover our costs.

Food will be served at 7pm. And the zine launch will be starting from 5pm. Come hang out, meet the contributors and get your hands on issue 4!

Allergen information:

We’ll be posting the full menu in the next few days. But a heads up it contains celery, gluten, sesame, soya and sulphites. Gluten free options will be available. Please let us know any allergens before booking so we can do our best to cater for them. by @the_smithfield
