Individual Restaurant Group Leeds Invite: Your Guide to Dining Deals at Riva Blu

Let’s be honest, that stretch between the New Year and spring can feel a bit long. The big celebrations are over, and everyone’s watching their wallets. But what if there was a way to get that brilliant feeling of a meal out, with fantastic food, without having to check the bank balance on your phone under the table? Well, it turns out there is. Two popular restaurants, Riva Blu and Restaurant Bar & Grill, have decided to extend their amazing dining deals all the way through to March, meaning a top-tier dining experience is still on the cards. It’s a bit of good news everyone can get behind.

A slice of southern Italy without the price tag

Imagine being whisked away to the sunny Italian Riviera, even on a grey afternoon in Leeds. That's the feeling inside Riva Blu. It’s a stylish but super-relaxed restaurant that’s all about bringing that vibrant Southern Italian vibe to cities across the UK, including Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and Hull. They've extended a brilliant deal called the Riva Venti menu, which is perfect for a proper treat. For just £20, diners can get two courses – a starter and a main. And this isn't just a lunchtime thing, it’s available all day, every day until the 31st of March.

The Riva Blu menu is packed with authentic Italian classics. For the starters, think classic Bruschetta Pomodoro with the freshest tomatoes or crispy Calamari with a Southern Italian twist. And for the main event, the secondi dishes are proper comfort food champions. There’s a rich, slow-cooked beef lasagne, a spicy Penne Arrabbiata for those who like a bit of a kick, or a genuinely authentic Spaghetti Carbonara. These are the kinds of dishes that make everyone happy. The Riva Venti menu makes deciding what to have simple and affordable. The whole point of this restaurant is to deliver brilliant food in a beautiful setting. The Riva brand is all about that authentic experience.

Sometimes, though, you might not want a massive meal. That's where the new Lighter Bite collection comes in. It features reimagined Italian classics in smaller portions, so there’s no compromise on flavour. And for those moments that call for something a bit extra special, a few indulgent dishes on the menu are available for a small supplement. Fancy some Linguini Gamberoni with juicy king prawns? That’s just a £3 supplement. Or how about a 170g fillet steak for a £10 supplement? It’s a great way to elevate the dining experience without a hefty price tag. All of these dishes are available on the new menu.

And what about Sundays?

Ah, the classic Sunday lunch. It’s a British institution, but sometimes the thought of all that cooking and washing up is just too much. At Riva Blu, the Sunday Roast is part of the amazing two courses for £20 offer. So, instead of stressing in the kitchen, people can be sitting back and choosing from a fantastic menu. The options cover all bases, from herb-roasted chicken and roasted beef rump to slow-roasted pork belly. There's even a delicious vegan nut roast, so nobody misses out. And, of course, they all come with the essential trimmings: roast potatoes, maple-glazed carrots, braised red cabbage, seasonal greens, a proper rich gravy, and a fluffy Yorkshire pudding. It’s the perfect end to the week.

The perfect spot for birthday celebrations

Trying to organise birthday celebrations can be a headache, but Riva Blu and its sister restaurant have an offer that makes things a whole lot easier. For a limited time, they are making birthday guests feel extra special. At Riva Blu, the birthday person gets to enjoy two courses from the Riva Venti menu completely free. The only catch is they need to bring at least three pals along with them. It’s a fantastic way to celebrate without the birthday person having to spend a penny on their food. This offer is available for birthday celebrations until 31st March.

The same goes for Restaurant Bar & Grill. If birthday guests are celebrating there, they can enjoy two courses from the '26 Collection' menu on the house, as long as they are in a group of four or more. It’s a brilliant excuse to get everyone together for a meal. Both offers are for a limited time, so it's a good idea to book in advance to make sure you don't miss out on this fantastic deal for birthday guests.

For something a bit different: the 26 collection

If Italian food isn't quite hitting the spot, then the Individual Restaurant Group's other venue, Restaurant Bar & Grill, offers a different kind of vibe. This restaurant is known for its luxurious settings, often in stunning historic buildings like the old Post Office in Leeds or the magnificent Halifax House in Liverpool. Here, the deal is called 'The 26 Collection', and it offers two courses for £26. This menu is all about celebrating incredible ingredients from both land and sea, with a global fusion of flavours.

The dishes are a mix of timeless classics and modern creations. For starters, there are options like Miso Roast Leeks, which blend Eastern and Western flavours, or Korean Fried Chicken for a bold and spicy kick. The main courses are just as impressive. You can find a perfect Fish and Chips with homemade tartare sauce, or go for the Ultimate Angus Beef Burger, which is piled high with braised ox cheek and raclette cheese. There's also a hearty Vegan Cottage Pie, proving that plant-based dishes can be just as comforting. Like its sister restaurant, this menu also includes lighter bite options for smaller appetites. It provides a truly exceptional dining experience.

The important bits to know

So, a great meal out is definitely on the cards this March. Whether it’s the Southern Italian charm of Riva or the global sophistication of Restaurant Bar & Grill, both offers are too good to pass up. Here’s a quick summary:

• Riva Blu: The Riva Venti menu gives diners two courses for £20. It's available all day, every day, until 31st March 2026. This includes the Sunday Roast.

• Restaurant Bar & Grill: The 26 Collection menu offers two courses for £26, available until 31st March 2026.

• Birthday Offer: Birthday guests can eat for free from these special menus when dining with three or more other people. This is a limited time offer, also running until 31st March 2026.

It's worth remembering that drinks are not included in these deals, and the birthday offers are valid on bookings of four or more. But with deals this good, having a fantastic dining experience in Manchester, Birmingham, Hull or Leeds just got a whole lot easier.
