BLOGMAS #3- LEEDS CHRISTKINDELMARKT 2015

 

I recently visited the Christkindelmarkt in Leeds, as I do every year with family, it's one of my favourite paces to visit! As I am on placement at home this year it means I cant visit everyday like I could when I was at university in Leeds.... I really did go everyday...

 

The food is amazing there, not to mention there wide array of stalls and chalets filled with Christmas gifts. Although its not the biggest Christmas market around, it is still fab. We visited their "Alp Chalet", an authentic Bavarian eatery located at the centre of the market, and the food was sooooo good. I had their juicy crackling roast pork with beer sauce, red cabbage and potato dumplings- a firm favourite... I will definitely be back again before Christmas!

 

With a authentic German food, live music and a cosy atmosphere you cannot go wrong, it is also very affordable!

 

Of course while I Leeds I also went Christmas shopping- although I still haven't bought gifts for people yet!!

  Which Christmas markets do you recommend this year? Leave me a comment below!  
   

REVIEW: EVERYMAN CINEMA- FORZZA

If any of you have heard of 'Everyman Cinema' you will know it is a unique cinema experience...not only can you watch the newest films but you can also catch cult classics. With a select amount of boutique venues across the UK, I visited the Leeds Trinity cinema yesterday evening.   Everyman is somewhere I have been meaning to try for a long time...although me and my boyfriend didn't catch a film there, we did however visit the FORZZA restaurant for dinner. I ordered the garden salad with slow cooked ham- containing; spinach, garlic croutons, slow cooked ham, shaved fennel, butternut squash and parmesan. This was literally one of the nicest salads I have had... although I wouldn't usually go for a salad, I wanted something light before my train home but was pleasantly surprised at how filling and how 'un boring' it was!   My boyfriend had the Pepperoni, picante sauce, pepperdew pizza... and although it turned out to be surprisingly spicy, it looked amazing!   Next on my hit list will definitely be the Rubbed chicken, coriander cream, mango chutney pizza! I am also dying to try their skin- on- fries and house salad. So if you are after something different for a moderate price, I would definitely give this a go. Have any of you visited the cinema itself? Let me know your thoughts! :)
