The new restaurant will be Burgerism’s first permanent site outside Greater Manchester as it begins its push nationwide.
The Meanwood restaurant will serve Burgerism’s existing menu, including a range of beef burgers such as Cheesed, Double Cheesed, Beefed, Double Beefed, Baconed and Wholly Double. The menu also includes the FreeBird buttermilk fried chicken burger, wings in BBQ, Buffalo or a lemon pepper sauce, skin-on fries and a brownie made in collaboration with Leeds bakery Get Baked.
Orders will be available in-store and through Burgerism’s website, with delivery via Deliveroo and Uber Eats.The brand previously operated a Deliveroo Editions delivery kitchen in Leeds, which launched in 2022.
“Ever since we trialled the Deliveroo Editions delivery kitchen in Leeds back in 2022, we’ve wanted a more permanent home here,” says Burgerism founder Mark Murphy.
“Somehow, it’s taken us four years to find the right location so we could get back to this great city; maybe we could do things faster, but we put a premium on doing things right.
“And Meanwood truly feels right. It’s got the same community feel as the Manchester neighbourhoods we operate from and we love the independent nature of the high street here.
Founded in Greater Manchester as a dark-kitchen delivery operation, Burgerism has expanded into five physical sites across the area including Salford, Aldow Industrial Park, Denton and Gatley, as well as its first dine-in restaurant in Piccadilly Gardens, which opened earlier this year, and a concession in Manchester food hall Freight Island.
The brand was also named among The Sunday Times’ Best Places to Work in the UK for the second consecutive year, alongside Ardent Group and Popeyes in the 2026 list.
“There is a clear appreciation for local brands,” adds Murphy. “That’s the energy Burgerism feeds off - we’re not coming to Leeds to be another chain on the high street and we really want to become a part of the community here much like we’ve done in Manchester.”
