Spoiled for choice. Bradfield is a personal favourite, but Kelham Island and Abbeydale produce some crackers. I do like a farmers blonde, saw a comment saying it smells eggy - I've had that once or twice but quite rare, maybe something to do with the start or end of a barrel.

Farmers Blonde, bradfield brewery. Superb. Usually have it on at the York in Broomhill and out at the lady bower near bamford

If you fancy trying something a bit different, one of our reviewers recently went to Zeugma on London Road which is a Turkish place that does BYO. She rated it pretty highly - http://whatsonupnorth.co.uk/2011/08/zeugma-a-real-turkish-gem/ . Not Italian I know but could be worth a go. BBs does BYO if you do fancy a city centre Italian but does have mixed reviews.

Not been yet but Aagrah comes very highly recommended.

Go for a 'slutty rutty butty' at the Rutland arms, or Fushion Deli definitely comes recommended. If you can make it up to Broomhill the York also does cracking food. Enjoy! Whatsonupnorth.co.uk

Hope you found somewhere nice! For future reference here are another few to be recommended: Silversmiths, Locanta, La Mama, Nonna's, Cricket Inn & plenty more besides, give us a shout if you want a recommendation for a specific cuisine.

The pies are incredible - try the Pork, Chorizo and bean!
