Yorkshire Food Guide

The Yorkshire Food Guide was born due to the lack of reliable foodie focused content - and a missed opportunity to showcase the incredible restaurants, chefs, events and producers we have across the region.

Over time the business has developed from an online directory to a news outlet, events promotion, ticket sales platform and place to discover exclusive dining experiences from Yorkshire’s finest restaurants and hotels. This has led our business to being named one of the Top 100 most digitally transformational, resilient, and innovative businesses in the Leeds city region.

Q1 - Tell us a bit about your yourself and what led you to working with the Business Centre

The University Business Centre’s team are so friendly and welcoming. What’s more, the support the wider business centre offers have really helped our business grow and be recognised with awards that we may not have otherwise known to enter. The connections to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are invaluable.

Q2 - What have been the benefits of working with us?

The University Business Centre is in the perfect location with superb facilities and the team are so friendly and welcoming. What’s more, the support the wider business centre offers has really helped our business grow and be recognised with awards that we may not have otherwise known to enter.

Q3 - What would you say to someone thinking of working with the Business Centre?

I would highly recommend anyone to work with the University Business Centre. There’s a range of facilities for start-ups, sole traders, SMEs and larger businesses - together with the ongoing support and wider network the Centre can offer.

Q4 - What are your plans for the future?

We have launched a Yorkshire Food Guide app which showcases upcoming events and exclusive dining offers across the region. This will also improve the user’s experience, being able to ‘favourite’ upcoming events and offers, share with friends and store their purchases all in one place, ready to easily redeem via QR codes.

In 2022 we will also be partnering with several restaurants, chefs and producers to introduce a series of Yorkshire Food Guide curated events.
