The Cut & Craft Leeds

The Cut & Craft is the pick for groups and big appetites. This steak-led restaurant on King Edward Street in the Victoria Quarter runs a dedicated Sunday lunch menu whose headline is the Sunday Sharing Roast for two — beef, half a roast chicken and crispy pork belly with all the trimmings on a single board, indicatively £50 for two people. Individual roasts are also available. Its central location and straightforward online reservations make it the easiest of the five to book, which matters given how quickly Leeds roasts sell out. It scores below the pub picks on character and on value for a solo or couple's traditional plate, and it is the most meat-centric option here with the thinnest dietary coverage. But for a mixed group who want variety and a polished setting with steakhouse sourcing, nothing else on this list is built the same way.
