Food and Drink in Leeds

Tafarnau

Ar ol y gem, rhaid yw mynd a cael peint neu ddau ! Y lle cyntaf i ddewis yw’r Long Room o fewn yr East Stand. Dyma lle gewch chi glywed John Bentley yn rhoi sgwrs am y gem a cyflwyno rhai o’r chwaraewyr. Ond, mae pris y cwrw braidd yn ddrud...

Y llefydd ail-orau yw unai y’r Original Oak, y Skyrack neu’r Headingley Taps. Mae’r tri o fewn cwpwl o funudau cerdded o’r maes gyda’r Skyrack a’r Original Oak dros y ffordd yw gilydd. Yn bellach i ffwrdd, ond dal yn Headingley yw’s Arc, ag yn bellach lan Otley Rd yw’r New Inn a’r The Three Horseshoes, mae’r ddau yn agos i’r enwog Bryan’s Fish & Chip Restaurant.

Rhestr hir o ddewis sydd, a mi allwn fynd ymlaen am byth gyda’r holl llefydd i fynd. Mae’n haws rhoi rhestr o’r llefydd mae pobl wedi bod iddynt, ond rhaid cofio taw barn y pobol sydd wedi bod yno gewch chi. Os i chi’n anghytuno, rhowch wbod i ni.

The Original Oak

2, Otley Rd, Leeds, LS6 2DG

TonyTaff (Sarries) Says: "The Original Oak is spacious, has a number of different bars; it is the best I've found within walking distance."

Reading_fatboy (Irish) Says: "We had a nice pre match drink at the original oak, but have to say that when we went back afterwards, it was completely packed with students and we were all a bit fazed by having to queue to get in and having 'attendants' on the door. Having said that, we were, once again made welcome. Only bad point was no Draft AG in the bar, and the bottled variety I had, tasted like it had been on the shelf for many summers. That wasn't all bad though cos I switched to Tetleys and enjoyed it very much"
The Skyrack

2, Otley Rd, Leeds, LS6 2DG
Map
Skibum (Tykes) says: "We prefer the Skyrack for pre and post match beers, the team usually come in for a lager at about 6.30"
The Headingley Taps

North Lane, Headingley, LS6 3HG
Map
Tightheed (Falcons) says: "We had a decent scran at the Headingley Taps, and a canny pint or two and it seemed full of away fans. I would also reccomend the Tetleys in the Rugby Club Bar and canny fish and chips from the shop in the corner on the way down to Headingley from the Taps"
The Three Horseshoes

The New Inn

68, Otley Rd, Leeds, LS6 4BA

Quin (Quins?) Says: "Further afield in Headingley, up the top end next to the Three Horse Shoes, is Woodies. Worth a visit as it has an excellent atmosphere and decent Ales on tap."

The Arc

Whitelocks

City Centre
Map
Quin (Quins?) Says: "In the town centre the best pub, especially for Ales, is Whitelocks, this is down one of the sidealleys off the Brigate, I think next to a sports shop. By far the best pub in Leeds, the only problem is its too small."

Llefydd i Fwyta

Rhywbeth personol yw beth i fwyta. Os oes angen rhywbeth i fynd ar ben llond bol o ddiod, mae digon o lefydd i fwyta’n gyflym – KFC yw’r un agososaf. Os taw pizza yw eich peth, mae Harpo’s fyny gyda’r gorau.

Os taw chwant sglodion sydd arno chi, triwch Bryan’s neu Bretts, mae’r ddau yn enwog (medde nhw!). Os oes car gyda chi, cerwch yn bellach i fffwrdd i Guiseley , lle mae’r wreiddiol Harry Ramsden’s.

Mae hyn yn oed mwy o ddewis os taw Curry yw eich fansi. Mae Tariq’s a Nafees yn Leeds, neu am yr orau triwch Bradford – ond does dim digon o le i enwi nhw gyd fan hyn!

Os i chi’n fansio bwyta gyda’r crachach, y llefydd yw awgrymu yw Paris neu’r Leodis i enwi dau, neu mae digon o lefydd symyl yng nghanol y dre. Os i chi’n ffeindio rhywle mi ddylen ni wbod amdani, rhowch wbod i ni.
