The winners of Deliveroo’s 2024 Restaurant Awards are in, and Leeds venues Slap & Pickle, GET BAKED, Zaap Thai and Mythos were among the many winners.

The awards celebrate the best and most loved independent restaurants across the UK and Ireland - from local independent burger joints to neighbourhood sushi restaurants and all the dishes, cuisines, and flavours in between.

This year there was a total of 60 awards up for grabs, including Independent Restaurant of the Year, which was won by Dublin-based Greek restaurant, Yeeros.

There were also several ‘above and beyond categories’, including Beating Heart of the Community, Rider Love, Most Sustainable Restaurant and Customer Innovation.

Slap & Pickle took home the top regional gong as Independent Restaurant of the Year North of England & Midlands 2024 after customers cast their votes online.

Slap and Pickle is famed for its 40-day dry-aged Swaledale beef smash burgers and succulent plant-powered patties.

A further five restaurants were recognised in the region’s best cuisine awards, with winners including GET BAKED (Best Dessert) and Zaap Thai (Best Thai).
