Blue Room Brasserie

Formerly a Chinese restaurant the Blue Room now avows more European ideas though has certainly left room for a touch of Asian influence. This shows in a variety of ways and adds interest. With careful navigation through the menu there should be no difficulty in building an attractive meal from, say, the straightforward grills and more ambitious dishes such as the five-spice roast breast of duck with egg noodles, pak choi, spring onions, black-bean dressing, sweet chilli sauce and crisp won tons.

Bluebell Country Inn, The

Here is yet another of those cosy Yorkshire inns that tend to prove right the general supposition that the county is more than ordinarily well provided for in this respect. The Bluebell has the added attraction that the value for money is incredibly good, and whilst Yorkshire may be the county of 'brass' it is so largely because they are not only good at earning it, they can also use it pretty wisely.
