  • COUNTDOWN TO ONROUNDHAY FESTIVAL | QUEENBEADY

    COUNTDOWN TO ONROUNDHAY FESTIVAL | QUEENBEADY

    piggie-smalls-1

    After my slightly mixed feelings from my 8th Leeds Festival I’ve been pining after another super fun festival that I can get my teeth in. I needn’t have looked far as Leeds latest Music & Food Festival comes in the form of OnRoundhay. The event is taking place on the 17th September which will showcase some of the best musical talent and of course a great selection of local street food traders (just like Piggie Smalls who I’ve had the pleasure to try at a previous YO1 Festival! I mean any trader that can integrate the name of my favourite Rap artist in to their business model is a winner in my eyes.) With John Lewis’ partnership along with Leeds City Council this is going  to be a great day for all the family.

    New Conservatory Leeds main taster

    I was recently invited to review the The New Consevatory, Leeds new menu. I’d seen plenty of other bloggers head here and I had never had the pleasure yet so I was excited to see what was in store. The Restaurant and Bar is situated on Albion Place which is very central within Leeds. A very beautiful building, you head down the stairs to the bustling bar. The décor reminds me of an old-world orangery of a very regal house. The walls are lined with book shelves, with many, many novels and hardbacks adorning them, making it a really unique venue. Spending the night with my BFF was also a massive bonus, ‘cos you know we all need to blow off some steam every once in a while, she probs ate her belly pork quietly whilst getting a little bit of TMI, but who cares? FYI, spoiler alert, the belly pork was to die for.

    After heading to Brunch at Ox Club, Headrow House on Saturday with Sophie, Jenna and Carrie-Anne it seemed rude not to make the most of the white-washed walls that greet you at this super-cool new Leeds venue, to create the perfect ”OOTD” post. Saturday was a pretty full on day, with a leisurely brunch in the morning with good friends, it was a dash across town to #LeedsXmasMeet and then after that, another hop, skip and jump to the #LaRedouteBloggerXmasParty. It was all systems go and doing it on a hangover was pretty testing at times. I’m pretty sure it was a little daring to do outfit shots of a tight dress with a carb-filled tummy, but heck, who the hell cares. What is perfection anyway?

    Brunch at Ox Club, Headrow House Leeds | QueenBeady

    Ox Club at Headrow House Leeds

    Brunch. Quite frankly Brunch is fast becoming my favourite meal of the day. It’s the middle of the morning, when you’ve got a hangover and can’t even be bothered to move you know you need to eat but, you really don’t know what you want to gauge on? Well, that’s where my fave meal of the day comes in. There’s no rules with Brunch. I feel like I’m saying Brunch, a lot. But seriously, you can go sweet, you can go savoury. You can drink tea or you can drink Bucks Fizz – you decide. The endless possibilities that come with (sorry, it’s coming again) Brunch make it the most perfect excuse for indulging. With this becoming a real “thing” here in the UK, Leeds has needed to fill that gap in the market. Thus Ox Club at Headrow House was born.

    The Alchemist Greek Street

    If there’s a cocktail bar that gets me excited in Leeds, it has to be The Alchemist at Trinity. It’s got a rooftop terrace, it feels so airy and light and the cocktails are divine. When I was invited along to visit their brand spanking new The Alchemist Greek Street, Leeds I knew that I had to give it a whirl. We’d been asked to review a full three course meal along with drinks to review on my blog and here I am to give you a true account of our experience. They describe their extensive list of cocktails of that of a “renowned Smokey Old Fashioned and the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party” rolled all in to one giving you a unique cocktail experience.
