"It has been a few years since Call Lane constituted the epicentre of Leeds’s bar scene but the newish Black Swan – it is considerably cooler than that sounds – is doing its bit to introduce the revellers who still congregate here to the joys of craft beer. Ten keg and two cask pumps dispense such treasures as Magic Rock’s High Wire, Flying Dog’s Raging Bitch Belgian IPA and Beavertown’s hop-forward, session-ale classic Neck Oil. Black Swan’s bottle collection, meanwhile, takes in such A1 breweries as Great Heck, Camden Town, Anchor and Kernel."

"York is full of intriguing Snickelways leading between streets or to unusual buildings. Coffee Yard has to be my favourite (not just because of the name!) and it leads down to The Barley Hall. Parts of this historic building date back to the 14th century but its importance was only discovered in the late 20th century."

"And the last, but not least of the best York photography spots are the Snickelways of York – the narrow streets and footpaths of York (the equivalent of closes in Edinburgh, Scotland).

"15/04/2021: Having dropped in on the off chance, it felt like I were an inconvenience to the lady who greeted me for service. Asking politely for a free table (which a table was free) but she had to run it past what appears to be her friends sat on the next the next table. The “friends” were dismissive, asked it depends if I were eating."

"Recent review: “This little restaurant is most romantic and an ideal dating spot. All the food is cooked freshly to order, meaning there is a slight wait for probably the best Italian I’ve ever eaten. It’s no wonder this place won restaurant of the year in the Hull Daily Mail!"
