Egg Mayo Sandwich for Lunch at the Canteen in Bradford
Really nice little café near Forster Square
Apple Pie and Coffee at Lefteris Coffee House, Bradford
The Bradford Bakery has moved into the former KFC premises in the centre of Bradford and is very stylish. Great coffee, homemade cakes and bread too. They were a little short of product on our early visit, but this could become a new favourite.
Brocolli Bake at the Wetherby Whaler, Wakefield
Post XMas lunch with John and Dennis. The 'Whaler' is a giant restaurant that specialises in fish and chips so wouldn’t have been my first choice, but they have a 'veggie dish of the day' for captive vegetarians like me. I was offered chips with it, but when I enquired, the waitress said they were cooked in the melted remains of a corpse (she may not have used those exact words) so I chose salad. Odd how they so rarely pick up on these connections... The cheese sauce was rather floury and tasteless but the salad fresh. I can't complain about the price since Dennis treated us, but this dish costs eleven pounds... Ouch.
Veggie Burger at the 50s Style Diner, Keighley
Pre-theatre snack with Sally and Anisa at this better than expected diner on alice St– for some reason the veggie burger was not on the menu, but existed nonetheless.
Egg and Chips at Fountains Café, Bradford
Lunch at our favourite Bradford café with Sally, Sarah and Nina. Egg and Chips is £3.50.
Roast Veg and Mozzarella Panini
A rather average lunch at Le Deli in Harrogate, which is a pretend French-style café. Really, a Panini means the bread is toasted with the ingredients in it, but this was cold pre-toasted bread.I hope no French people ever go in there!
Egg and Chips and the Dalesman Café, Gargrave
Birthday lunch. One of my favourite cafés and this would have been very good but the eggs were not dippy. Tut tut. Major fail.
Wensleydale Cheese Sandwich at the Devonshire, Bolton Abbey
Rather too generous sandwich served in delightful surroundings by courteous staff
Egg and Chips at WE5 in Blackpool
Remarkably good value café at Starr Gate, Blackpool is an experience not to be missed.
