Bill’s Restaurant in Leeds
Bill’s opened up three years ago in Leeds and it’s taken me till this year before visiting. In all honesty, I didn’t see the hype or the need to go, until now. Before, it was just another breakfast and brunch place which looked the same as all the others. Now, they’ve had a total makeover, making it a quirky space full of details to feast your eyes on in the bar area. The restaurant has what I imagine a Cuban feel to it with plantation shutters and bold colours. Aside from checking out the new interiors, my plus one and I got to try their food and drinks menu.

Crazy Golf and Cocktails at Junkyard Golf Club in Leeds
I love mini golf. I used to play it a lot when I was younger with my parents, with my dad in particular. Every summer we would go now and again to play at various outdoor mini golf courses. Crazy golf on the other hand is a fairly new thing for me but I enjoy that too. I couldn’t wait to check out Leeds’ latest addition – Junkyard Golf Club. Junkyard Golf Club have courses in London, Oxford, Manchester and now also Leeds, since a month or so. You find it in The Light, on the second floor, opposite the escalators that lead up to the cinema. It’s a very…

Indulge in Summer Cocktails and Italian Food | Gusto Cookridge Summer Menu
It’s not just the weather, our wardrobes and mood that change over the summer, restaurants too update their food and drinks menu to match the season. When it’s hot I don’t have the same hunger as in colder months but you’ve got to eat. Fresh and light meals are my got to. Cocktails on the other hand, they’re delicious any time of the year and the ones Gusto Cookridge have on their menu are very tasty. A couple of week’s ago, a small group of bloggers (myself included) and plus ones went to Gusto in Cookridge for a cocktail masterclass followed by a 3-course meal from their summer menu with…

Summer Cocktails with Pago
Summer is around the corner and over the bank holiday weekend we got a good indication of how nice it could be. I really hope we’ll get more sunny days throughout the year. It’s so nice sitting outside on the balcony sipping away on tasty summer cocktails. In all honesty, it’s not often that I make cocktails, mixing a G&T or grabbing a cold beer from the fridge is easier but when I was recently sent a couple of bottles of Pago* juice to try , my first thought was to use them as cocktail ingredients. You might recognise their juice from the bottles, rather than the name. I did…

Cocktail Tasting and Pizza Making at Cuckoo in Leeds
Cuckoo in Leeds is probably my new favourite bar. It’s so colourful and 80’s/90’s funky. It was love at first sight! The vibe and interior reminds me a bit of closed down Fab Cafe. A place I loved going to on nights out. Similar to Fab Cafe, Cuckoo has the colourful pastel walls and the amazing playlist. Instead of geeky film props, Cuckoo is full of tropical and animal decorations. What’s not to love? Cuckoo Cocktails All the cocktails here are very easy to drink, some even dangerously so. I started off with a Lychee & Cherry Margarita; Tequila mixed with Lychee Liquor and sweetened with Cherries. It has a…
