One of their filled pittas will set you back £4.50 and comes loaded with falafels, hummus, salad and pickles."
"Head to Church Street to Humpit, the Hummus and Pita Bear where the menu is totally vegan!. Their menu has three items; salad bowls, hummus bowls and loaded pitas. You can choose your ingredients for the salad bowl, and the hummus bowls and loaded pitas come with chickpeas, pickles, olives, falafel and more."
"I usually get the filled pitta which is a good place to start if you're not sure what to order. The staff are lovely, very energetic, and happy to accommodate to your preferences if you do not like specific items. yorkpitasaladstuffedcauliflower"

"They’re made fresh in house every day and they keep things interesting by switching up the flavours, so there’s always something new to try. Take the Lucky Charms donut for an example. This epic ball donut is deep-fried, stuffed with marshmallow and covered in vanilla fudge icing before they top it with that all-important Lucky Charms cereal to create a sweet and sticky treat like nothing you’ve had before."
"Okay, so it’s debatable whether a huge, novelty donut is an essential element of a picnic but when they’re this good (and this fun), why not?.

"Le Chalet is a charming French tearoom in the heart of Leeds city centre, where you can take a break in a pretty venue while trying one of 25 speciality teas. If you’re hungry, choose from a menu of baguettes, pastries and cakes, or go for one of their traditionally French dishes like the meat feast gallete or the tarte provençale. If you fancy being indulgent, their French-take on afternoon tea is a must-try."

Grill on the Square is the perfect place if you fancy really treating yourself. When the sun is shining, there are two gorgeous outdoor dining areas - one at the front looking out to East Parade, the other an all-year-round conservatory looking out onto Bond Square and the Dakota hotel."
"Blackhouse serves up prime steakhouse fare in classy surrounds. Slide into your private leather booth and get to grips with the short but sweet menu made especially for young diners. It’s meat-centric, as you might expect from a grill restaurant, but alongside the roast chicken dinners and mini Blackhouse burgers – you’ll find a welcome cheese spiral pasta dish."

"As the name implies, York’s Merchant Adventurers were merchants. They traded along the English coast, northern Europe and sometimes as far as the Baltic and Iceland, bringing back an assortment of desired goods to York. The city was an important river port and the wealthiest city in Northern England, second only to London for most of the Middle Ages, allowing the merchants to make enough money to build the Hall between 1357 and 1361."
"The Merchant Adventurers' Hall is a restored medieval guildhall dating from the 14th century. The Great Hall is Britain's largest timber-framed building still used for its original purpose. The hall is still used by the Company of Merchant Adventurers of the City of York, now a charitable organization."
"At Hesketh Farm Park you can feed and stroke the animals, have fun inside – maybe in the giant sandpit or playing hide and seek with your friends in the straw maze and on the 10 acres of greenery."
