Pub grub and breakfast in Leeds

[MontyVeda]

I'm off to Leeds in a few weeks for the night, probably staying in the Easy Hotel and most likely in need of a hearty breakfast when i check out... so can anyone recommend a good full-english?

I've got my eye on Whitelock's Ale House for my supper... anyone know it or want to recommend somewhere else in the city centre?

cheers

Does it have to be a pub?
Do you like curry? This place is lovely but you’ll probably need to book

I wonder how long it'll take for someone to recommend The Dog and Brexit aka Wetherspoon's.

He said a hearty well cooked breakfast not more plate than food.

I'm liking the look of A Nation of Shopkeepers for supper.

I much prefer pub grub to restaurants, due to my lowly social class

is there a cafe in the market that does a full english?

What night? Good luck with getting served in Whitelocks on a Fri/Sat night. It's a Leeds institution and well worth seeing is that interior.

Yes, plenty of cafes do breakfast in the market and that is where I would go. Pint prices can often outstrip London, I looked at a receipt for once this summer and found that me & MrsF had been paying £12.60 for a pint of Amstel lager & glass of house white wine, x4! When I checked that day, of all the bars we went in, only one came to less than a tenner for those 2 drinks, that was The Scarborough Hotel at £9.60. Cheap pints? You'll have to stick with the 3 Spoons and the 3 or 4 Samuel Smiths.

I like Iberica at night for Spanish food, the interior is stunning, I went to the toilets and didn't want to leave. It has a front and rear bar too if you just want look and drink. Viva across the bridge is a good traditional value Italian. But, you have 100's of places to choose from.

I've had a good brunch at Cosy Club before (right in the shopping area)

Market cafe sounds like a good plan to me always worth a go for value and hearty.

...

Wednesday. I take it it's a popular place then.

As long as you’re not too picky about the contents of your ‘meat’ sausages Goes for most greasy spoons to be fair

Some high end hotels are not much better.

My 2 favourite places for evening are Bundobust and Friends of Ham. Can't really recommend for breakfast but you'll definitely get a fry up on the market.

Never said they were. I rarely have cooked breakfast in hotels (unless a chef prepared omelette or fried egg )

Just remembered, I had a yummy full brekkie here when in Leeds in April. Looked a really good place to have a beer or three too, unfortunately our last morning

I spent Saturday night at The Queen's hotel at Leeds station. It was ghastly, just filthy, shabby, dark and in need of being knocked down and rebuilt.
