Leeds deli boards are a wonderful thing – a light meal with an assortment of delicious meats and cheese topped off with some bread and sometimes a vegetable or two. They are great for an individual meal or can be bought to share if you and a friend just fancy a drink and some nibbles. Deli boards are becoming rapidly more popular as a go-to option at bars and restaurants, but where can you find the best deli boards in Leeds?
This quirky little restaurant is not that easy to find and is situated at the back of Trinity on Boar Lane. With a lovely outside eating area and an atmospheric space inside, The Botanist is perfect for a lunchtime snack or a relaxing evening meal.

Part of Market Town Taverns, Veritas is often overlooked on Great George Street, as it’s very slightly off the beaten path from the high street. With delicious food and a great selection of drinks though, Veritas is not one to miss out on.
Their deli boards offer the perfect combination of meats and cheese and also come with an oil of your choice to dip your bread in. One of the best things about Veritas, is that if you liked the deli board, they also have their own mini deli from which you can buy any item of your choice to take home.
Currently in the process of a refurb, Friends of Ham reopens its doors on 27th September with a whole new layout and design. Situated on New Station St, Friends of Ham is perfect if you are meeting someone of the train or want somewhere central to grab a bit and have a good catch up.
They have an incredible selection of wine and craft beer, but the real draw to this bar is their charcuterie and cheese.

Close to the centre of Leeds but far enough way from the hustle and bustle of town, The Reliance is a great little bar located on North Street. The bar at the front offers a host of delicious drink options and the restaurant at the bar has a fantastic menu to choose from.
The chefs at The Reliance cure their own meat in the kitchen, so you can only imagine how delicious their charcuterie boards are. They use locally sourced rare breed pork from the Taste Tradition near Thirsk and let customers choose from a range of meats. All boards are served with bread and pickles, and are as expensive as you make them at just £2.50 an item.
