Craft brewery and Asian fusion food venture team up for new concept restaurant

A new restaurant is coming to Chapel Allerton, Leeds this spring from the team behind York-based craft brewery Brew York.

The venue will be called Brew+Bao and is a collaboration between Brew York and YUZU Street Food. 

Known for its Asian fusion dishes YUZU has been serving Brew York customers across its York venues since 2019.

Brew+Bao will offer more than 16 different fresh beers. These will include a curated selection of craft beers – some permanent some on rotation – alongside a handful of Brew York favourites.

Food will include an extensive bao bun menu, loaded fries and sides options, the majority of which will be exclusively available in Chapel Allerton.

There will be seating for 100 covers inside and 80 covers on an outdoor heated terrace.

The 1,700 sq ft restaurant will occupy the premises which were formerly home to Black Sheep Brewery, on Stainbeck Road.

Brew York managing director, Wayne Smith, said: “We have been searching for the perfect location to launch our first Brew+ venue, and the eclectic and vibrant Chapel Allerton completely won us over.

“It’s the ideal place for our new Brew+Bao concept and we can’t wait to be part of the local community there.

“Together with YUZU we believe we have created a unique beer and food experience, embracing bold flavours and a warm, welcoming atmosphere – something that has always been at the heart of Brew York – and we can’t wait to bring our passion and personality to Leeds.”

Fit out of the Brew+Bao venue is underway and works are expected to be complete in early spring.
