Yorkshire Relish Main

Social groups are a great way to meet new people whilst simultaneously visiting interesting places, and Yorkshire Relish has been bringing people together in this fashion for almost 20 years now. Not only is it exclusively for the LGB T* community but collectively over the years, the members of this amicable club have visited most of the restaurants that make Leeds such a vibrant and interesting place to meet. From high end, well-recognised establishments to little hidden gems, it is the purpose of Yorkshire Relish to bring people together over good food and fine wine.

About

The group first formed back in 1994 and has been administered by a number of members since inception, and most recently taken over by Rob Wilson in January 2013.

Rob was already an extremely successful event organiser, having worked for a number of social groups in the Leeds area such as The Yorkshire Bears, Spice Yorkshire & City Card Leeds.

Meeting

We usually meet on a Friday evening every 6 – 8 weeks, in various restaurants within Leeds City Centre.

As we have members who travel from across Yorkshire we set a dining time for 8pm, however we encourage members to arrive earlier so that they can mingle and meet a number of other guests prior to seating.

New members are always welcome to join us! To join our mailing list please complete the Contact Us form at the bottom of the page to supply us with your email address.

The penultimate meal of 2016 will see us visiting Restaurant Bar & Grill, facing onto City Square in front of the Leeds train station.

We’re dining here on Friday 4th November, with bookings close 2 weeks in advance.

Book and Pay

I always look forward to a Relish night out. Usually held on a Friday evening it is a wonderful start to the W/E. It is a chance to catch up with old friends and hopefully make a few new ones. Everyone is made welcome and there is always plenty of time to chat over a pint or glass of wine followed by some delicious food. Then before you know it, the evening is coming to a close and I am off home with a warm glow having had a good night out.

I joined the Relish dining group earlier this year and have been to one event. From my initial email asking to join the group to attending the first event has been smooth and Rob was very encouraging. I attended the first event with some anxieties but these soon disappeared. The group were welcoming, and I felt that I was a regular attendee. The mood was relaxed, with no airs and graces, and more importantly no expectations. The conversation flowed as if you were out with a group of good friends. People shared experiences and gave information about other groups. I can not recommend this enough, and I will certainly attend future events.

Yorkshire Relish is a great non scene LGB event which is a welcome alternative to the usual offerings! The host, Rob, along with the other guests provide a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere for both newcomers and regular attendees. The group visits a wide range of Leeds’ best restaurants which provide culinary delights from around the globe. Relish is a wonderful way to meet new people of all ages whilst experiencing great food in friendly company. Having attended a number of events I always look forward to the next meal!

Me and my partner joined Relish when we first moved to Leeds to meet people and explore the city. We've found it to be a friendly and welcoming group and a great way of discovering some of Leeds many lovely restaurants. The organiser, Rob Wilson, is a fantastic host and made us feel very welcome. He has an in-depth knowledge of the city and what it has to offer, and always has an eye for a good deal! We've met some lovely people, enjoyed some fabulous food and had some great nights out. Looking forward to future events.
