Some things about Trinity Kitchen will never change, the friendly atmosphere, the picnic tables and garden furniture. But some thing do change, regularly. There’s a new crop of vendors in, and a returning favourite, and we’ve been trying the dishes first, so that you can make an informed choice later.

Vincenzo the Prosecco Van

With spring finally showing its face (some days) and summer hopefully not too far behind it, Vincenzo the Prosecco Van is here to bring some more bubbles to the kitchen. To keep things new the van are offering prosecco with fresh berry flavours, as well as an impeccable service.

Their offering is enhanced by also offering bubbles on tap. It’s exactly the same as prosecco, but due to Italian protections can’t be called that when dispensed on tap. It’s a cute niche, but something you’ll probably reserve to having just one or two glasses of during a visit.

Jah Jyot

With Sussex sourced produced and Punjabi flavours, Jah Jyot is offering little boxes of spicy heaven which have been perfectly tailored for the Leeds palate.

The portions are compact and yet more than adequately sized, so you won’t feel even a twinge of guilt about devouring it all.

The team behind the food clearly love what they do, and it’s really paying off for them. Jah Jyot — a street food provider — has started collecting awards usually reserved for brick and mortar restaurants. The enthusiasm for the produce is contagious, the smell of the spices carries across the space and beckons you in.

My verdict? I could have withstood a tad more spice in the dishes, but that’s just a personal preference. This is the kind of place you could happily run by for lunch, but I’d grab a side too if you’re looking to make this your dinner.

Angus McVenison

When we read the menu, I were very, very excited… and sadly, though it was a good sandwich, it didn’t live up to my fantasies about it. The venison used in the sandwiches is good, but thin. The hot beetroot chutney didn’t have that tang that your favourite chutney should have. The bread… was bread. And, I love bread, but it’s not enough on it’s own merits.

The desire to bring something new to the Leeds culinary table is something I love and will always champion. But, with a price tag of £11 for a venison sandwich with fries and a can of pop, I can’t say I’d do it again.

Chimney Chicks

This was probably the most Instagram-able food of the night, but desserts often are. The premise comes from a favourite dessert from Hungary — Kürtőskalács, or as we know them, Chimney Cakes. A gorgeously doughy cone is fried till crispy and then filled with ice cream and other treats.

The special on offer during our visit was the Jaffa Cake cone, and I couldn’t rate it highly enough, orange marmalade made an already great product incredible. There were other fabulous offerings too, with a ‘unicorn horn’ option which featured more sprinkles than any one person should ever safely consume. For the peanut butter obsessives there’s also a delightfully nutty cone, with a mix of nuts in the bottom, a middle of soft whipped ice cream, and topped with… you guessed it, more nuts and smooth peanut butter. Sound good?

Returning favourites

Though we were too full to try their fares, Eat Like a Greek and BangWok are back! Each of them bring their own unique twists to flavoursome cuisines with centuries of history behind them. For something lighter, we’d suggest Eat Like a Greek, and BangWok for something sweet and sriracha spiced.

Too full to try everything in one visit, I sadly can’t report on the cheese obsessed Gondola Raclette. But, I’ll let you know after my inevitable next visit.
