Haley And Clifford
Delicatessen · Restaurant · Oakwood
A delicatessen and café at 43 Street Lane in Roundhay. The company now behind it, Haley & Clifford Ltd, was registered in July 2026 with Araz Imani Veghaslou as sole director and shareholder, and is classed at Companies House for specialist food retail, café and takeaway trade. The shop is considerably older than the company: its own website records a Deli of the Year award in 2012 and appearances on BBC Look North the following year. The counters carry Yorkshire and European cheeses, bread baked fresh each day, smoked fish from Yorkshire producers, and jams and chutneys from Raydale Preserves in North Yorkshire, alongside oils, condiments, pasta and grains, cakes, biscuits and chocolates. The café serves breakfast, lunch and coffee, and the business makes sandwiches, takeaway suppers and hampers and takes catering bookings.

La Palmera Restaurant
Restaurant · Oakwood
A family-run Mediterranean restaurant on Park Lane in Roundhay, beside the golf course in Roundhay Park, with tables looking over the greens.

The Yorkshire Evening Post reported that it opened in May 2021.
