I write Leeds Grub, a food blog reviewing restaurants and other food outlets within the city. The blog focuses more on the local, independent places, and those restaurants that are good value for money and within the price range of the every day diner. I like cheese, chocolate, pudding, drink, and eating out! www.leedsgrub.blogspot.com
