Best Vegan Restaurants in Ledston

"Humpit are hummus experts and they serve up their delicious homemade recipe by the bowlful at the Corn Exchange. Have it the traditional way with whole chickpeas and warm pitta to dip in or load your bowl with a variety of toppings – there’s falafel, salsa, pickles, fresh salad leaves and spiced mushrooms, to name just a few. If you don’t have time to sit and dip, you can get the same tasty ingredients packed into a pitta that’s easy to eat on the go."

"We loved hummus but couldn't find anywhere to eat it in traditional style, in a bowl with a fresh warm pita on the side to rip & dip. With a load of innocence and passion, a borrowed gazebo and a small fryer from Argos, we set out around the streets and parks of Leeds and people started to fall in love with Humpit."

"Speaking of hummus and falafels, this delightful little joint has some of the best in town. Tucked away in the beautiful setting of Leeds Corn Exchange, you’ll recognise Humpit immediately – it’s the busy one. The menu is short and simple; fresh salads, rich hummus and packed, warm pittas."

Time Out tip: Look out for crab cooked in coconut sauce, excellent fried lentil doughnuts and toffee-filled steamed rice cake."

During the summer, the park is positively heaving with families and children indulging in picnics and ice creams, and in the winter you’ll often find couples snuggled together, taking a romantic stroll around the park.
