Towngate Brasserie, is a modern affair. Almost immediately you are met with funky clocks and clever lighting that puts you instantly in the mood for dining.

Sometimes outstanding little gems are just on your doorstep waiting to be discovered. Chris Blackburn finally finds Erics Restaurant. Here’s his review.

White Swan Inn

When Claire Smith and her husband booked in The White Swan Inn in Pickering, North Yorks on New Year’s Eve, she was so impressed she had to spread the word.

1885 The Pub

Chris Blackburn was looking for a place to go and a place to recommend. He’s just found it at 1885 The Pub in Stainland, West Yorkshire. Read his review.

Brooklands Restaurant is still going after more than 40 years and is still serving up its famous dish – the Barnsley Chop. Read our verdict of the eatery.

marriott hollins hall

Free flowing countryside, easy access to Leeds and Bradford and a stone’s throw away from the original set of Yorkshire’s most famous soap. Where are we? An idyllic manor house, which resides a Marriot Hotel, named Hollins Hall of course!

moo bradford

At Moo Bradford Jonathan’s passion is flavor, rib’s are smoked for hour after hour before being BBQ’d and drenched in his own bourbon infused sauce, his burgers are of course hand made with an incredible amount of care and attention.

Fazenda Leeds

Nestled in the centre of the Granary Wharf area of Leeds, which incidentally has changed significantly (for the better) since I worked in the area some 15 years ago, is an establishment which get’s booked up week’s bordering on months in advance.

Vinny & Vito

Vinny & Vito – Village Hotel, North Leeds – Finding a tasty bite to eat that won’t break the bank can be tricky these days. In my experience, restaurants often tend to come in two categories: cheap and nasty or expensive and superb. Treating yourself to a meal can be a veritable minefield.

Beef dripping and whale bones may not seem very PC or forward-thinking for 2013, but they provide one huge trawler-load of charm in Whitby. Often called the sparkling jewel in North Yorkshire’s crown.
