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 […]
Bar 166 & Bistro is just at the top of Town St in Horsforth, Leeds. It’s a popular venue for Friday and Saturday night drinks, and despite living in Horsforth for a few years, I had kind of forgotten that it does food too. I shouldn’t have, because it’s Good Food. Mr M, tot and […]
Box Pizza is supporting fantastic Leeds based charity Simon on the Streets, which offers support to the homeless people of Leeds. Throughout August there is a special pizza on offer, The Yorkshire Pizza, which has been created to celebrate fantastic Yorkshire produce and 10% of sales will go to Simon of the Streets. The pizza consists […]
I have always hoped that Emilia will have a healthy relationship with food; that she’ll enjoy it, interact with it, and know that a chip comes from a potato, and that a potato comes from the ground. I’ve wanted to get her helping the kitchen ever since she was born, and she has always been […]
Summer is the time for BBQs and it’s been great to have a proper summer in England this year, with SUNSHINE, and HEAT. Crazy. To celebrate this, we had some good friends over for a BBQ last weekend, and it was a great chance to try out our new pizza stone… I’m not sure about […]
You will be unsurprised to hear that when abroad my hunt for delicious food does not cease. If anything, it grows, especially when in somewhere like Menorca, where fresh fish is in abundance and the fruit and veg are plump, sun ripened, and bursting with flavour. The quality of fresh food is so much higher […]
My blog is going European (temporarily). We flew off to Menorca again this summer, and it was incredible… It’s such a stunning island; sun, sea, food, gorgeous scenery, space, vibrant flowers and plants, and absolutely no boring tasks to complete. The flat looks out to the bay (Platges de Fornells), and we keep the patio […]
On the outskirts of Leeds is Italian restaurant, Gusto. This modern restaurant is beautifully designed, and is built around a 200 year old olive tree that is decked with twinkling fairy lights. It’s an open, welcoming place that has a terrace perfect for summer afternoons and evenings. The wood burning stove is open to see, […]
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 […]
