More breakfast reviews, I’m afraid.
Timoney’s is a lovely little cafe in North Leeds on a parade of shops in Oakwood not far from Roundhay Park and conveniently down the road from the office.
We’re often in there and it’s an incredibly friendly little place. The people that run it are lovely and they can never do [...]

Sufficiently inspired by my outrageously successful breakfast visit to Harvey Nichols, G dcided to join me for the latest instalment of my relentless search for the very best breakfast experience Leeds (and its environs) can offer.
This week: City Bar and Grill.
Occupying a great location in city square and if the weather is fine, there’s not [...]
We decided a few weeks ago that we would attempt another hog roast in the summer months, so last night we held a planning meeting where we could work out who’s doing what in terms of logistics, ensuring we have even division of labour and crucially, how many bread buns we will need.
Hosted by D&G, [...]

Cape Sea Grille - Harwich Port
Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 22nd, 2009
Another of our Cape Cod dining experiences, but first we need to set the scene. We had spent the day whale watching departing from the colourful ‘Provincetown’ and the weather at sea had not been kind with plenty of rain. We returned to the ‘Captains House Inn’ at Chatham (review later) at around 20.00 [...]

A little late but a very worthy addition to the site is the Blue Lion at East Witton. D and I have been wanting to visit the Blue Lion for over a year on recommendation from Pat and Tony P so our anniversary was a good excuse. The Haynes took Mr Chester off our hands so [...]

Posted in Uncategorized on Jul 13th, 2009
Hot on the heels of my visit to Anthony’s, I was off again last weekend on my quest to find the best breakfast our fine city has to offer.
With recommendations flooding in via Twitter, I opted for Harvey Nichols Fourth Floor Restaurant on Briggate. Leaving the girls at home chilling out I headed out bright [...]
