A restaurant in Leeds is preparing to feed hundreds of families on Christmas Day despite facing their own problems in the cost of living crisis.
Mumtaz Restaurant has said it will be feeding people - whether they are in need or not - from 12pm to 2pm, but urged people to be conscious of those who actually need the meals. They will be preparing over 1,000 pre-made dinners to takeaway, a spokesperson for the restaurant confirmed.
They said the business is facing its own problems amid the crisis but they want to spread some festive joy during these “testing times” as people have less money to spend on luxuries such as food.
