Olive & Rye

Olive & Rye is the vision of chef and owner Joe Hepworth alongside his team who strive to supply the people of Leeds with a quality retail and dining experience right in the heart of the city.

Situated in the iconic Queens Arcade Olive & Rye supplies an extensive cheese and meat counter full of both local and homemade produce not only to be enjoyed on the premises, but also to take away and enjoy at home.

Olive & Rye offers an ever-changing take away lunch menu, ideal for a quick bite while on the go. Floor to ceiling shelves stacked with locally sourced, jams, chutneys, wines, beers and foodie gifts for all tastes can also be made into one of our bespoke hampers built to order.

Alongside the amazing deli store Olive & Rye also has a 44 seater cafe/restaurant area serving brunch, lunch and small plates, wines by the glass, and amazing coffee by the guys over at Dark Woods Coffee Roasters. Every month they hold Olive & Rye evenings where customers can come along and enjoy a multi-course tasting menu, lovingly and expertly produced by our in house chefs and, on occasion, guest chefs from around the country.
