So when we took on the job of managing this years Waterfront Festival, one of our first meeting was with Tom and Anton from Calls Landing. We loved the cool 70’s décor, vintage furniture and fabulous terrace with one of the most amazing views of the waterfront!

Our affection for Calls Landing has grown…partly due to lovely hospitality from Bar Manager Anton but mainly because we just love the relaxed vibe and the guys’ passion for promoting local beers and produce.

Calls Landing is one of our top destinations for this years Waterfront Festival and there’s plenty of reasons why! With a dedication to supporting local produce and new business, the guys create an fantastic outdoor vibe with good local food, their house beers on tap and the best local coffee served from an orange camper to die for!

Heading down to the calls, you cant miss the Calls Landing land mark! 003

During the festival this year, you will find an outdoor space, filled with local food and drinks providers, burgers, coffee and beer, served from campers and retro army vans…you’ll sample street food, their signature dish Stew & Oysters all whilst chilling out to cool hip hop, soul, funk, live bands and buskers.

One of the reasons we love Calls Landing SO MUCH is that it provides a really chilled uber-cool environment that welcomes families and even your beloved dog!

News Flash! Life isn’t over when you have kids (or a pet) you can still hang out in a cool bar and enjoy good food, local beers and good company (only at Calls Landing though!).

If you are the kind of parent that loves a decent pint and bite to eat, you’ll love the bouncy castle, water slide and on tap Mr Whippy ice-cream all day at Calls Landing! So join us, at the best location to enjoy the sunshine and chill out with a decent drink and fun for all the family.

Wow. Being involved in Leeds Waterfront Festival is getting more and more exciting by the day! We are in the lucky position of co-ordinating all the activities at each site this year….so we get to hang out with some really lovely people and hear about their exciting festival plans…yeah its a tough job but someone’s got to do it!

Today we visited Calls Landing on Call Lane, hung out with Tom and Anton in their deceptively large bar with local beers, their signature Oysters & Stew and really cool retro 70’s décor! In love with it already!

For this years Waterfront Festival, Calls Landing is definitely going to be a spot ‘not to be missed’ with its own mini-festival of locally sourced food and drink stalls, live music, artists and designer makers providing demos, tutorials and selling their wares!

Tom and Anton are really keen to support local small businesses and artists, giving them the space to sell and promote their goods to all the lovely folk visiting the festival this year!

I’ve never actually eaten an oyster BUT you will be reading a blog from me very soon…I will be returning to try one in a day or two, boyfriend and beer-lover in tow! Great advice from Tom…for your very first oyster, lots of tabasco and lemon juice…hits your taste buds straight away and takes the idea of it right out of your mind!

Will let you know how it goes!

Lights!
