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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
