New healthy food dining destination launches in Leeds city centre

Business owners Andrea Bethell and Roddy Dilasser have teamed up with chef and high street food retailer Ian Kendrew to launch a new healthy eating destination in Leeds city centre.

Based on the ground floor of the Whitehall Riverside building on Whitehall Road, HIVE was created with an aim of providing city centre workers an option for a fast but nutritionally balanced breakfast, lunch and/or snack.

Independently-owned HIVE is also fully licensed to serve alcohol and has an outside terrace overlooking the River Aire, as well as interior dining space.

With a menu developed by the owners and in conjunction with Roz Witney, a food industry nutritionist, HIVE has a focus on natural, unadulterated wholefoods, which are naturally low in fat and sugar.

HIVE will add to the food and drink offering around the Wellington Place and No 1 Leeds estates, to serve the south side of the city centre’s business community.

Andrea and Roddy commented: “As working mums, we truly understand the juggling act that everyone faces on a daily basis to meet deadlines while caring for families and indeed themselves; all whilst striving to maintain a nutritionally balanced diet.

“HIVE channels our shared passion for food that’s good for you but also tastes great, and is convenient for when you’re on the go.

“Leeds has a thriving independent food scene that we’re really excited to be a part of as a brand new business, and we’re looking forward to welcoming all of our guests in for food, drink and a chat!”
