"Things to Do, Attractions"

"Breakfast shouldn’t just be restricted to the morning and Popina’s know this, that’s why they sere it all day long to those who know that a full English is still appropriate at dinner time. They have good vegetarian options and a great omelette selection for those who aren’t so keen on a fry up. If you do love fry up’s however, then it’s worth trying the mega breakfast, Popina’s own version of the man vs food challenge, they promise if you eat it you get added to the prestigious mega eating challenge board and win a much sought after key ring."

"Not just for swimmers, Armley Leisure Centre is home to a whole host of fitness activities, with football and gymnastics among them – but it’s the pools that we’re particularly interested in today. They’ve got three – a five-lane 25-metre pool for those of you looking to get your laps in, a smaller 10-metre learner pool for those of you who are just starting out and a hydrotherapy pool for those of you who require physiotherapy. It’s £5.20 for an adult swim, £2.80 for a child swim and kids under 5 go free."

"Sizzling Pubs do a excellent value breakfast with unlimited help-yourself tea or coffee up to 12 noon. You can go for the Sizzling Breakfast (Two juicy pork sausages, two rashers of grilled back bacon, two fried free-range eggs, grilled tomato, grilled flat mushroom, potato and onion hash, Heinz® baked beans and your choice of unlimited white or wholemeal toast with butter.

"It’s got food, drink, outdoor seating in the warmer months, and an excellent selection of vegetarian options. So, take a seat, boot-up the free wi-fi, and order yourself some fresh veggies. Or some fresh bread with jam."

"A shabby chic decor is combined with distinctive Victorian architecture at Corner House Coffee Bar, so it’s the perfect place to get your brunch fix. They serve up a host of classics, from a Full English to Eggs Benedict and Smashed Avocado on Toast, but you can also try something different.
