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 […]
Sophie Thompson was last year’s winner of Celebrity Mastershout (Terry Wogan coined that one) and now she has her very own cook book, called My Family Kitchen. It’s a collection of her own recipes, as well as ones from various friends and family members. It’s wholesome, it’s friendly, and it’s fuss free. The book is packed […]
Sebby’s Deli is a cosy nook of a cafe, found on Otley Road in Far Headingley, Leeds. It’s a shabby chic place, crammed full of cook books, travel books, beautifully ramshackle bits of furniture, chalk boards, pictures and postcards. It’s intimate, but not in an uncomfortable way. People are chattering away, sharing tables both inside and […]
This is the BEST new centre for children in Leeds. The Rainbow Factory is a place that brings books and stories alive. I hesitate to call it a play centre, because it isn’t really that; it’s an interactive adventure. Entering The Rainbow Factory, you go to The Gingerbread House to buy your tickets, and then follow the Yellow […]

Apparently, micro roasteries are a growing trend, and this one is the first to launch in Bradford. The company itself has been running for 15 years as a supplier of premium coffee machines to restaurants etc., but roasting […]

BangWok, Leeds
Bangwok serves thai street food every lunchtime from Monday to Friday, on Sovereign Place right in the centre of Leeds. Their menu is brilliantly simple having just a few choices on the menu and each dish is made to order right in front of you (which is entertaining in itself). These chefs are good. Order after order […]
NOSH Super Brekkie is a new breakfast drink / meal in a bottle. (I’m not sure I want my meal in a bottle, but there you go.) It’s a healthy yoghurt / fruit / super food style breakfast which is kind of a mix between a yoghurt pot and porridge, with fruit. The aim is that it’s a […]

Rola Wala, Trinity Kitchen, Leeds
I love a good curry, but the thought of having one at lunch time, on the go, isn’t really feasible, is it? It’s generally quite a time consuming affair, with all those bits and bobs to bring together, and then there’s the food coma that comes after it. Well, that’s how it’s been until the arrival of Rola Wala. […]
La Bistro opened in Horsforth a couple of weeks ago, and we were rather excited as it’s just up the road from us. It looks great. There are twinkly lights on the trees outside, which is a good start (“CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!”, exclaimed Emilia). The interior is modern, clean, and there’s plenty of wood and brickwork […]
