It’s Bonfire Night. And for many, that means enjoying a warming serving of pie and peas while watching the fireworks.
The traditional combination is a Bonfire Night favourite, with pubs, clubs and food businesses across Leeds serving up hearty pies alongside mushy peas, gravy and other classic accompaniments.
Instead of listing sold-out Bonfire Night events where the classic dish is served, we’ve instead focused on 10 butchers, pie shops and cafes in Leeds that serves a classic pie and peas.
