Its location just by the water makes it one of York’s most popular spots on a warm summer’s day, and it’s even better for being a Samuel Smith’s pub."

"What: With branches now open all over the UK, Cosy Club continues to offer up crowd-pleasing brasserie-style food in theatrically decorated rooms and this is exactly what you get at the Leeds outpost. The brunch menu is available all the way until 5pm and includes ham hock hash served with a fried egg and breakfast gravy, and a delicious take on a shakshuka.Where: 53 Albion Street, LS1 5AA"

You can sit on the terrace, next to the pub, or head down onto the grass, where picnic tables await, ready to load up with pub classics. There’s baked Camembert, beef bourguignon and Hunter’s chicken, not to mention a tantalising array of pizzas and burgers, including a 100% vegan Moving Mountains® Burger."

"What: In France, breakfast often involves a pastry or some other kind of baked good and quite frankly, that is the sort of meal we can really get behind. At Le Chalet in Leeds, you can pretend you’ve sauntered off to the Gallic region by tucking into the likes of crepes, croissants and French toast topped with bacon and maple syrup – bon appetit.

"Last but not least is something a bit different, and a must-try for all of you with a sweet tooth. My Cookie Dough is a cookie dough stand in Trinity Shopping Centre, but they also do takeaway and delivery. Whilst they offer boxes for you to bake yourself, we’d recommend the fresh cookie dough boxes which come warm (or cold, should you choose an ice cream)."
