I've lived in Leeds pretty much my entire life, despite a brief 12-month sting in the South. I've explored the city's many restaurants and places to eat but never thought of trying Kirkgate Market for a bite. The Market, which is the largest covered market in Europe has over 800 stalls, attracting hundreds of thousands of people per week.
I'm ashamed to say that I haven't utilised the market and all of its benefits anywhere near as much as I should have. Being quite the foodie, having fresh fruit, veg, meat and seafood on the doorstep it's a wonder I didn't visit more.
However, the market itself was not why I went, it was the food court inside that caught my attention, following a recommendation from a friend. I needed lunch and so I took five pounds to see what I could get.
