Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32857 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32857 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31481 I ordered a rib-eye steak (medium rare), and my girlfriend ordered the duck. Both meals were beautifully cooked and presented. The prices where very reasonable for what felt like a high-end restaurant. The side dishes were a bit small, but priced appropriately so we didn't mind.
We took advantage of their early bird deal, meaning we got 30% off our total bill. Highly recommended!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31481 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29735 My favourite starter has to be the goats cheese fritters with onion marmalade, and the full breakfast is equal to the task of conquering any hangover you care to throw in its path.
Situated in the Grand Arcade, and open until 7pm, it is also a good choice for a pre-theatre supper. The drinks menu includes an unrivalled choice of teas and fresh juice, but if you fancy a glass of wine then you’re welcome to take your own.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/29735 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26144 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/26144 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25786 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25786 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25519
To keep the children amused there is a fantastic adventure playground, apparently spread over three acres - the kids love it, along with the bird garden, containing of all things penguins and flamingos.

Harewood's enduring appeal is its beauty, the wide range of experiences for young and old, all backed up with a magnificent events calendar.

Locals should take advantage of its membership - the Harewood card - which allows free entry throughout the year making it amazingly good value, the literature claims families can save upto £700 per annum on days out with the card!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25519 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25024
Lanes of garishly decorated wooden chalets stocked full of food, toys, clothes and trinkets provide alternative ideas for that last minute stocking filler. From German sausage and honey to hand crafted wind chimes and children’s toys, the market is an ideal haven for those looking for something a little bit kooky.

It’s at night, however, when the market really comes to life. The twinkling lights, the sound of the vintage carousel and the smell of frankfurters are a delight to the senses, that can’t help but put you in a festive mood.

For a real taste of Germany, end your day in the bierkeller where Oompah bands entertain a lively crowd with their own interpretations of songs written by Hamburg’s adopted sons, The Beatles.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/25024 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24833 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/24833 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21743 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/21743
