A couple of months ago, I went to the much revered Pieminister (read more about that here), and today I returned to sample their brand new VEGGIE pie. I wouldn’t normally choose a veggie pie, as I’ve yet to come across one that sounds particularly enticing. However, Pieminister went all out to create something to tempt even […]

Wolf Street Food, Leeds
A brand new street food concept has landed in Leeds, and it’s all Italian. Wolf Street Food opened recently, providing fresh, quality Italian food, for busy people on-the-go. The name of the venture can be traced to the legend of Romulus and Remus (twin boys raised by a wolf, with Romulus being credited with the founding of Rome) and the fact that Italy’s […]
Chaophraya is a Thai restaurant in the centre of Leeds, found tucked around the corner from the train station. It is named after the Chao Phraya River, which is Thailand’s main waterway, and the restaurant aims to take its diners on a journey through Thailand’s food by tasting the fresh ingredients and flavours from its […]

The Potting Shed, Bingley
The Potting Shed is a unique pub in Bingley that unites ales with gardening. The theme is carried through the pub brilliantly well. In the centre of large wooden tables, earthenware garden pots hold your menu and cutlery. There are gnomes around and about the place, little nooks and crannies with mismatched chairs and garden pots lined […]
A few weeks ago, a little bit of France arrived in Headingley, with the opening of Monsieur Déjeuner. This French cafe is owned and run by and actual French man, who comes from the south of France. It’s a lovely spot, right in the centre of Headingley, where you can while away the afternoon sat directly underneath […]

From a small stall in Bristol, their pies spread to London, to the Queen (ooh!), and after winning a ton of awards, they (finally) headed to the north. Pieminister opened in […]

Brasserie Blanc, Leeds
Brasserie Blanc, in Leeds, recently had a makeover and it’s looking so much better for it. It’s more modern in appearance, it seems more open, and there’s a lot of wooden flooring and brickwork on show. There’s also a bread carving station, and I LOVE that! We went for lunch on Christmas Eve, and I was […]

Roxy Juniors at Roxy Lanes, Leeds
We visited Roxy Lanes in Leeds and loved it!
Four years ago, I went to the second ever monthly meeting of the brand new cheese club, Homage2Fromage. Who knew that this club would not only spread cheesy joy to five other cities, but also create a new CHEESE CAFE? Amazing. At the top of the Merrion Centre you will find their beacon of local cheesy goodness. I […]

Northern Monk Refectory, Leeds
Northern Monk Refectory is found round the back of Leeds station, across the canal, in Holbeck. Please, don’t let that put you off – it’s only 5 minutes walk from central Leeds, and well worth it. The Refectory is on the first floor, and beneath it is the brewery, where many delicious beers are created. Like the […]
