New fish and chip offering joins Merrion Centre dining lineup

Merrion Centre, the Leeds city centre shopping centre, has welcomed the opening of Hook and Line in the Arena Quarter.

The new fish and chip shop is the latest addition to the Merrion Centre’s offering of shops, restaurants and leisure outlets.

Alongside the traditional chip shop fare of haddock and chips, the new addition to the centre will also be offering squid, crab cakes and tempura prawns, as well as a number of vegetarian options, on the menu.

The new venue, which officially opened on Friday (23rd June), is the first venture for David Duttine, the head chef and owner.

David Duttine of Hook and Line, said: “For our first venue we couldn’t think of anywhere better than the Merrion Centre.

“Our location is in a great area that has seen some really exciting redevelopment, and is now a huge attraction for residents and visitors to Leeds. Our menu combines traditional favourites together with more contemporary items.

“We think we can be a great new addition and can’t wait to bring the nations favourite meal of fish and chips to the Arena Quarter!”

In addition to the main menu, David and his team will be serving ever changing “special” options to customers.

Helen Green, associate director at the Merrion Centre, added: “This is our first speciality fish eatery at the Merrion Centre, which we are confident will complement the existing food offering across the Arena Quarter which includes MyThai, Marco’s New York Italian restaurant & bar, Smoke BBQ, Bulgogi Grill, Burger King and Sticky Sisters.

“We are always proud to be able to welcome exciting new brands to the Merrion Centre and offer our customers something for every taste and budget.

“With continuous high footfall the Merrion Centre remains the ideal location where all of our tenants can access a wide customer base in order to maximise sales.”

Hook and Line is open daily from 11.30pm to 9.30pm.
