Red’s True BBQ Opens in Headingley, Leeds

Their eyes widen, their voices hush, or they go to the other extreme, becoming high pitched and almost hysterical; THE RIBS!!

Left Hungry at The Calverley Arms, Calverley, Leeds

After Emilia was born I met a spectacular group of ladies at the post-natal group. They have saved my sanity several times, and have been great company and a huge support in figuring out small people and how to cope with the million and one odd things they throw your way.

Byron Brings Proper Hamburgers to Leeds

Not many people use the full term Hamburger anymore, which is a shame. It always reminds me of one particular evening of my misspent youth. I was probably about 15, and had been out for a friend’s “civilised birthday meal” … Returning to my friend’s house we were all a little worse for wear, but none more […]

Pancakes at Pooky & Grumps, Horsforth, Leeds

It was a few weeks ago now, but the memory lingers on happily in my mind… On a rare morning to ourselves, Mr M and I treated ourselves to a mid-morning breakfast / brunch out. Without a child. On our OWN. We went to Pooky & Grumps, which is a fabulous deli and cafe in […]

The New Inn, Eccup, Leeds

The New Inn is a country pub just outside of Leeds. It’s recently changed landlords, and with that change came new Head Chef, Karl Sowry (formerly of The Fleece in Otley). I hadn’t tried the menu before he took over, but last weekend, I went along with these two rascals to see what’s currently on offer.
