We were invited to try the menu, and to be honest, I wasn’t overly enthused about what it would be like; chain hotel restaurants are often an afterthought of frozen fish and stale bread.

Soul Kitchen at The Wardrobe, Leeds
The Wardrobe has always served food, but it has never been a place that has popped up on my radar for it. I went a few years ago, ahead of going to see Daniel Kitson at the West Yorkshire Playhouse, and the food was ok, but not particularly memorable. Pre-theatre diners have become the sole […]

Hollybush Conservation Centre is found in Kirkstall, Leeds, just next to the canal on Broad Lane. It’s a real hidden gem of Leeds, and boasts a beautiful wildlife garden, which is secretly tucked away, so you’d never know it was there unless someone told you. The centre has launched a new cafe within their farmhouse […]
Box Pizza recently launched a brand new takeaway product; the piadina! These are an Italian style flatbreads served up with sumptuous fillings. As an alternative to pizza, they are lighter and less calorific, which could be great for summer months. They come perfectly packaged in neat boxes and are served with salad leaves, so are […]
