https://www.littlebaoboy.com/ Not for the first time, my plans for the day had gone awry and also not for the first time the disaster turned to triumph. I had chosen a venue for my review before I left home rather than winging it as is my wont, but the place I had earmarked was not really…

http://www.the-reliance.co.uk/ When I started this series four years ago I set myself some rules, most of which I have since broken. Hey, what else are rules for? This visit to The Reliance Bar and Dining Room has prompted me into abandoning all of them and just doing what the heck I like. Two of the…

https://www.eatyourgreensleeds.co.uk/ In the words of another grumpy old man, ‘I don’t believe it!’ I have battled my way through countless vegan and vegetarian meals and one of the best I have had so far is here at Eat Your Greens, which is not a vegan or vegetarian restaurant.

Leeds As you can probably tell by the photographs for this week’s feature I ate much later than normal, 5.00pm to be exact, but it doesn’t really matter as Pieminister doesn’t have a special midday menu, so this is what you would also have at lunchtime.

This is the first time I’ve ever written this in a review and I certainly hope that it’ll be the last: I advise you either not to visit this restaurant, or to do so with caution. It wasn’t so much the food which was responsible for the nasty taste in my mouth which accompanied me…
