Food for Thought

The Bird by Vineet is proud to be part of the Food for Thought programme. Just 99p added to your bill buys a tree to offset the carbon footprint of your meal.

Food for Thought, operated by the Green Earth Appeal in partnership with the United Nations Environmental Programme, donates trees to some of the poorest communities on the planet in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

As well as removing CO2 from the environment, these trees provide work and much-needed food for people and animals and also help to rehabilitate deforested land and preserve traditional livelihoods.

Give a person aid and they will eat.

Give a community trees and you empower it with food, fuel, financial opportunity and self-respect.

You can help by allowing us to add 99p to your table's bill. Please note, the full 99p is passed directly to Food for Thought.

CARBON OFFSET (approx)
1 tree = 750kg carbon offset in its lifetime
1 meal = 25kg carbon footprint

The Leeds Kitchen

Owned and run by celebrity chef James Martin, who has presented shows such as BBC1’s Saturday Kitchen, this is one of the most enticing restaurants in Leeds and we’re lucky enough to have it nestled inside the Alea casino. With its modern feel and chic, round booths, this is a place to enjoy the finer side of life and relax with some of the country’s best cuisine. Choose from mains such as roast duck with soured orange sauce, or delicious, slow-cooked feather blade of beef bourguignon.

Bird by Vineet

This stunning restaurant is the brainchild of Vineet Bhatia, who was the first Indian chef to be awarded a Michelin star. With its theatre kitchen, you’ll enjoy watching the chefs at Bird whip up an exciting blend of traditional and contemporary Indian cuisine, which is guaranteed to delight diners. In 2001, Bird won the Best Indian Restaurant award at the Oliver awards, for the second time, making it one of the best restaurants in Leeds to date. Try main courses such as coconut-chilli prawns infused with lime leaves, or char-grilled lamb chops braised with walnuts.
