The Swine Bistro

Cult fave, The Swine That Dines, will relaunch in two new forms this spring. Its city-centre site, now called Here Comes The Bun, will serve the Swine’s sensational hot sandwiches and US-inspired desserts, while its new intimate restaurant, the Swine Bistro, will open in suburban Headingley. Expect crisply executed, comforting dishes from exec chef and co-owner Stu Myers, such as sea trout, clams and borlotti; braised rabbit with Dijon mustard sauce, crispy bacon and broad beans; or homemade venison and red wine sausages, pickled pear, salsa verde and puy lentils.

Offering an enticing short menu of seasonal food at pocket-pleasing prices (for example, the Saturday lunch menu costs £18 for two courses; £22.50 for three), The Swine That Dines is an absolute delight. Open from Thursday to Saturday — with occasional Wednesday night specials worth making a trip for — the vibe is intimate and friendly, courtesy of the husband-and-wife team who create innovative plates that are ideal for sharing. The focus is on local produce and lesser-used cuts, with a monthly Roots to Shoots menu highlighting the benefits of going meat-free.
