The Real Ale Trail, The Beer Train, The Great Yorkshire Burp Fest or Angelina Vs The Hop...whatever…read moreyou call it it is a CRACKING way to spend the day hopping from pub to train to pub to train from Staybridge to Leeds with every stop a pint winner on the way. But then it happens, with a dawning realisation and not a little horror you discover that you are 3 sheets to the wind and your body cannot sustain you a moment longer on naught but beer and Scampie Fries. You need to eat. You need to MEAT. We decided Huddersfield would do just spanky, having as I recalled an Argentinian Steak House. Yes I was drunk and yes it is in fact a Brazilian Grill, a la Fazenda but waaaay smaller, no salad bar and about a tenner cheaper. But! The comparison is unfair. Fazenda (or 'Home' as I like to call it) is a huge, slick, cosmopolitan arrangement with more accoutrements than you can shake your rapidly hardening meat stick at. Botafogo is a teeny tiny one room affair with, I suspect, no more than 30 covers. You're going to need to book. Or alternatively you can stagger in stinking of Black Sheep, get told there's no room and then look at the owner with huge sad lambykittenpup eyes filling with sad tears until he relents and tells you he will try and squeeze you in if you come back in an hour. I recommend lots of mascara for a truly devastating effect if you find yourself in this position. One more pub and a zigzaggy walk later and we were enjoying free drinks whilst we waited for a table to clear. There were lots of apologies for the 20 or so minutes we had to sit, but the free drinks and homely atmosphere made this no problem whatsoever. Just like Fazenda you order your drink, pick some sides if you want them (fries and nibbles come free) and then sit back as the dripping meat skewers wend their way toward you, heavy with mindblowingly succulent flesh. We gorged, drank red wine, gorged some more, I was poleaxed and dropped a huge bowl of herby oil dressing all over Chris, they cleaned Chris up, Chris ate for almost an hour solid and then declared he didn't eat late at night and couldn't finish (I stress he had been stuffing his face for an hour at this point), we all laughed, 3 of us gorged some more and we were utterly sated. Well done Botafogo, you handled us so so well. A gorgeous, friendly, low key, well run, well staffed and sublimely well catered restaurant that deserves to become a landmark for Huddersfield. I thoroughly recommend the short train journey out of Leeds to give Botafogo the support it deserves. For Ade and I paying together plus a really nice bottle of wine was a very reasonable £54, without the wine you are looking at less than £20 a person- so get thee down there and wrap thy gums around some good meat! And remember, all life is sacred. Unless it is delicious.

Ate at this restaurant three days ago. It is the first Brazilian steak house I had eaten outside…read morethe United States and it certainly did a good job of showing me that Brazilian steak houses don't need to break the bank. It was a great price and they had a nice selection of meats. Most of the meets where very well grilled and spiced perfectly. I ate my self into a coma and honestly my meal with a full salad bar and two glasses of wine only came down to about 33 pounds. The interior was nicely intimate and warm with a nice compliment of colorful furniture. If you end up in this small town I definitely suggest that this is a place to have one of your meals or your only meal

The staff were warm and friendly, we ordered a bottle of wine which was opened at the table, our order was taken within 10 minutes of arriving and we were served a dish of delicious olives and thinly sliced bread whilst we waited for our starters to arrive. My starter of Pescata Trinacria calamari, whitebait, huge king prawns in the shell and delicate slices of fried courgette and potato with a creamy dip was very good although it could have easily been served as a main course, the rest of the meal was just as good and the portions were just as generous. I sent my complements to the chef who came into the restaurant and I thanked him personally, as Italian restaurants go for me this is one of the best and I'd highly recommend anyone to visit. Forgot to add, the earlybird menu is the same as the usual menu, you can choose any starter and any main for £14.99.

Having spent the best part of 4 hours driving back from Scotland on a Bank Holiday Monday, we were…read moreboth starving and we wanted a no fuss yet tasty dinner. We chanced our arms and went for a Besco favourite sans reservation, and popped along to Med One and were very fortunate to get the last table for two, early evening. Having prior knowledge of the portion sizes at Med One, we elected not to go for starters and went straight to mains. I had the lamb chops with accompanying potatoes and veg. My fella had a change from his usual and reliable Chicken Shawarma (which he loves) and had the Spinach & Chicken Gratin. Both of us fell silent whilst devouring the food, with the exception of customary food-appreciation noises, and both were very very good. The reason for the lower marks on the * rating is that the waiting on staff didn't get the order right in the first place and so we had to wait an extra 10 minute for mine to arrive (mixed up the reading of the order of gratin and chops with gratin and chips) and so when one incorrect dish arrived and the young lady realised there were two at the table, Richard's dinner was taken back and said it would be kept warm until mine arrived. Not brilliant but I suppose the positive that old style "writing down" an order by hand and not computerised is something to take from this family run business, and that they give a young person an opportunity to learn and earn (the young lady was clearly very new) is to be praised. Overall, great food and ok service, but a complimentary Diet Coke for the inconvenience might have been better received.

Two words; Mexican Heaven. Ok now for the rest of the words…read more Gringos restaurant, Huddersfield is one of those places that are a hidden nugget of a town, that soon becomes a little bit of a local legend. You walk in and you're greeted almost instantly by a member of staff, before you get to know your bearings, you see a brightly decorated restaurant floor. Purple and red are the colours of choice. The tables are grand wood things with matching grand wooden chairs. You're seated, and menus are delivered and drink orders taken. Scanning over the menu, there's something for everyone who's willing to try something different to pizza, pasta and curry. Don't worry if you don't know the difference between a chimichanga and an enchilada, it's all there for explanation. Personally, I decided to try the chimichanga. I was not disappointed. First I was in awe at the size of the plate. Portion size, HUGE. The gargantuan chimichanga was full of the spicy lamb filling I ordered, and there was a nice portion of refried beans and potato wedges, all tex-mexed out, naturally. I'm glad I didn't go for the starter, by the time I'd finished my absolutely tasty meal, I was packed out to the limits, as was the rest of the overstuffed and replete members of my party. There were eight of us in total, and as we had pre-booked the table, sat down, and ordered all before 7pm, and the bill was brought to us before the hour of 8, all of our mains were 241, or bogof depending on how you look at it. In my opinion it was a royal bargain. Call it £1.50 for a small coke, and the total bill price for each person was £6.50. The only down side of our eating experience was that we were so full with our yumtastic and sizeable meals that we were all unable to roll our bellies forward to fill them with deserts, which were not two for one, but were very tasty in their appeal. So pleased we were with our meal, we re-booked for a second sitting a few weeks later, this time with 12 in our party and at a later sitting time of 8pm. Again the staff were very hospitable, and the place was packed, all good testament to how good the food is. As it wasn't two for one, various bods were willing to try the steaks and specials available, again all with accompanying noises of approval. And as it was after work hours, there were indulgences into the cocktail pitchers available, and also the shooters for the more daring. The alcohol is a bit steep in price at £15.95 a pitcher, but apparently the taste warranted it. Gringos has a great atmosphere, one of those places where you feel you could spend all night and have fun in a casual environment. Beware of elbow room, so popular is the place that there isn't a lot of room for manoeuvring oneself. I say get booked and eaten for 8pm and enjoy a full belly at a great price.

Oh and the puddings are yum too! Two levels and two entrances. A couple of sofas of the first level with a few chairs and tables dotted around, there are a few steps up to the next level or you can walk up the full set of stairs to another slouchy seated area. Down a few steps from the top seated level is a level of chairs and tables all nicely low lit and great to sit down over lunch or dinner with some friends or over drinks. Lovely. Pleasant seating area outside too for sunnier climates and it's one of those places where I've never had an ounce of trouble, no matter what day or time of the day I've ever been in. There's always some kind of funky music playing throughout the day and when the day has turned to night a DJ takes over for more tunes. Oh oh oh the walls are covered with art by local artists, which incidentally is available to purchase! And there is a particularly kickass one on the backwall of the mid level which is 3D and purdy.

Then I was hungry. A few of my work mates had been for a visit and urged me to go, the only trouble was, initially getting a specific time to eat. No one really knew what Discovery Bay's opening times were. Now I believe Discovery Bay operates as an evening eatery only. What is there to love about Discovery Bay? It's wholesome hearty tasty gorgeous food in an environment that's more comfortable than it ever could be pretentious. The food isn't cheap, but you don't expect it to be, because it's absolutely gorgeous food. If you can manage to book a table, the latest press and chef attention of Mr Ramsey and Mr Rhodes has packed out the bookings at Discovery Bay, but if you can get a table between 5 and 6.30pm on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, then you can get three gorgeous courses for £12.95 a head which is a bloody bargain to be frank. The atmosphere is wonderful, the food is gorgeous, and the staff are lovely. Altogether it makes for a fabulous experience.
