Meat:Stack is giving away 100 free burgers today as it opens its first Leeds restaurant

The independent American-style eatery was founded in Newcastle - and the Bishopsgate Street site is its first outside the North East.

To celebrate the opening, it is giving away free meals to the first 100 customers from 12pm today (Friday).

The brand was born as a pop-up in Newcastle’s Grainger Market before it opened its first high street restaurant in 2020.

It has been a hit with diners in the North East, serving juicy cheeseburgers with premium smashed patties, homemade sauces and mouth-watering toppings.

The team have crafted a concise menu of double or triple cheeseburgers, sides, shakes and desserts.

The beef is smashed into a raging hot grill, smothered with American cheese and all the trimmings, before being steamed.

Menu highlights include the bestselling French Canadian, which comes loaded with streaky bacon, blue cheese, garlic butter, chilli-maple syrup, hash brown, American cheese and signature Stack Sauce.
