Having headed out straight from work and without sustenance I was quite amenable to my friend's suggestion to head into Stew and Oyster for more drinks and a bite to eat. I can't believe I've never been to a Stew and Oyster before, I love a good stew and here they have stew in abundance and in so many very tempting varieties. I opted for a lamb hotpot which came with a large hunk of marvellous (and I'm told, local) bread and a portion of garlic butter. This was stew heaven! Full of chunks of potato and carrot not to mention loads of tender, lean lamb and perfectly seasoned. The whole washed down with a glass of Shiraz (I have decided to forgive them for running out of Merlot). Due to my losing track of time and the imminent arrival of my bus we didn't have the opportunity to finish a very cold night with a hot chocolate and brownie but there is always next time and I;m determined that won't be too long.

This set menu was very good and the staff super friendly and quick. The firsts thing you'll notice when you look at the menu is that every dish has tons of ingredients. That's because it's all meticulously arranged and the very delicate. The food isn't outstanding but very enjoyable. We also ordered a bottle of Rioja which was nice and not too expensive (about £30). Although we didn't get one, there's tons of tables and seats by the window which means you get a beautiful view of central Leeds. I would come back and recommend it.

So, it's about time I wrote my review for Crafthouse, being as I went a while ago, and haven't yet…read moreshared my thoughts. I was going to meet a friend for lunch, and we took advantage of their lunch time deal, saving a few pennies. Now, bear in mind that you're saving little compared to other lunch deals, but that the extra cost does assure you this: the food is great. I don't know what else to say, although if you've read my reviews before, you'll know there's always more to elaborate on. I chose the roast chicken, being as I can't resist a Sunday lunch, and for dessert the creme brûlée. The chicken came in the most delightful pot, and the leg portion was more than enough for lunch. It felt like I was basically having an evening meal, which is no bad thing. We had ordered some side veg, that had been steamed and buttered with finesse, as much as you might consider veg to be cooked with flair. The leg came complete with the gravy of goddess, and couldn't have been cooked better in my humblest opinion. It was juicy, tender, and was finished off with a crispy bit of skin. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it, and I rarely find chicken interesting enough to ponder. The creme brûlée was probably one of the nicest I've had. Not overly creamy, not sugary. A perfect balance. As for the ambience, well. I guess this would depend on your preference. I can't deny there's an air of exclusivity, and not least due to the prices. That being said, I'd encourage a visit for several reasons. As a treat it's fabulous, and I can tell you now, I've walked in wearing jeans and had no comment. Not even a look. The staff are all lovely, and the view is, naturally, totally glorious as well. Locally sourced menu, beautifully presented, and super tasty. Job's a good 'un!

G-wu has a nice little bar area on the ground level where we were warmly greeted with a glass of champagne and then went upstairs to be seated at our table. For starters i had chicken and sweetcorn soup and hubby had the chilli hot and sour soup, both lovely and fresh. The next course was a muxed platter consisting of honeyed bbq ribs, salt and pepper chicken wings, crispy won tons and some amazing chicken dumplings. After a breather, the main course arrived, i chose crispy beef in ok sauce and john had shredded chicken in garlic and chilli sauce. Both served with fried rice, then followed with a gorgeously light mango pudding. A wonderful evening of glorious food, the leftovers of which were boxed up to carry home.

I was not even aware of Brett's presence until a few years back when a friend suggested we should…read morego in after watching a cricket match at Headingley stadium. Before visiting Brett's, I had been satisfied with the other two standard Headingley chippies, Midgley's and Bryan's (both excellent) but, as I realised on my first visit, Brett's outshines both. There are many, many reasons for this; firstly, it just feels like a chippy - always a long queue of cold Leodensians dying for something warm and fattening, staff who yell orders to each other and have aprons covered in chip fat, and a couple of rickety sheltered benches just outside the shop for those who can't wait until they get home. On top of this, the setting (inside an old, ivy-covered terraced house on North Lane) makes Brett's both quaint and perfectly located in equal measure. Whether you've been at the cricket, the rugby, or just on a ten hour drinking binge, Brett's is always a welcome sight. But it is the food, of course, which makes the biggest difference. Rumour has it that the reason that Brett's batter tastes crispier than anywhere else is down to the use of beef fat, rather than vegetable oil - a stroke of genius I'm sure you'd agree (as well as making the food taste better, it also means there are no vegetarians ahead of you in the queue!). The cod and haddock itself tastes and feels fresher than any other Leeds fishery I have stumbled upon, and the chips are just glorious. Go to Brett's. Go now.

However, with the increase of students in the outskirts of city, KFC's, clubs and bars, the town is almost recognizable. This is apart from Bretts Fish Restaurant. The is nowhere else you can sit and eat a takeaway or sit down and have a meal in a 1930's oak paneled surrounding! Bretts ivy covered restaurant really does stand out from businesses such as Lucky's and Gangster's takeaway on the same road with very contrasting, modern exterior. Bretts has many famous specials (as well as their gorgeous, traditional fish and chips...very scrummy) such as Lincolshire Maris Piper potatoes and Icelandic Haddock. Bretts has put a classy twist on a meal that has been branded in modern society as a dirty, greasy takeaway. You can eat a well presented, fish meal in Bretts restaurant with a lovely bottle of wine off the extensive wine list! Due to it's location Brett's is often frequented by cricket media and fans!!!

She only eats chips & cheese so anywhere suits her but I have to have kebab! Being as we had to trek to the station to get a taxi we passed Mill Hill. Now I'd usually ask the taxi to take a detour past my very regular kebab shop but seeing as there was no Q and the place was clean and it actually smelled appetising we popped in! Kebab meat and salad on chips and cheese is usually something ppl get wrong (there is a specific science to it!!!) but they got it right- with a very short wait. It didn't last long- tasty enough to demolish every last scrap! The downfalls here are- It gets MEGA busy and due to this is gets food remnants and packaging left on tables so doesn't look inviting They never seem to have enough staff so sometimes you have to wait AGES!(or what feels like ages when you're drunk!) They also cook food to order so there is a wait (also a plus I'd say!) All in all it's a reliable stop off point for a late night feed (just don't go past in the daylight!)

If we're being honest, there are much more refined kebabs you can find, but it's just not that sort of place. The guys are the counter are always friendly - especially when you consider how much abuse they have to take from drunken idiots. Cheap and cheerful, which is how it should be.
