The Castle Inn in Brecon - rated 4.56 by 9 votes bedazzled says: "The food is really excellent, I would recommend the steak and ale pie, it is delicious! If you are a vegetarian (the wife is) there is plenty to choose from as the landlady is a vegetarian and takes this aspect of the menu very seriously, no veggie lasgane here!" |

Fibre in Leeds - rated 4.67 by 6 votes caz1892 says: "Fibre is one of the best bars on this vibrant scene, leave any prejudices at the door and shimmy in to enjoy a great selection of music, impressive and rapidly provided drinks and a friendly happy vibe that some "straight" bars in Leeds lack." |

Trof Cafe in Manchester - rated 4.70 by 10 votes ilovecakes says: "The interior is an eclectic mix with cute illustrations adorning the walls, alongside old electrical switch boxes and vintage church pews to sit on. The food is excellent, offering a twist on the standard Sunday lunch as well as traditional breakfast fayre, a good selection of ’sharers’, cakes and paninis." |

Cafe Sublime in Bradford - rated 5.00 by 8 votes kamz says: "Just what Bradford should have more of! A grown up place to eat, drink and socialise. Lovely fresh food, well presented in a very clean setting. Lovey arty bits on the walls and attentive waiting staff. Not badly priced either! The smoothies are lovely!" |

The Willow Cafe in Sowerby Bridge - rated 4.83 by 6 votes Reddog says: "The cafe is very clean with a pleasant atmosphere created by the twin owners who have obviously transformed the place since they took over. This is due in part to the quiet music – not loud enough to make any difficulty when talking, and a selection of papers and magazines, even flowers at times." |

The Leadmill in Sheffield - rated 4.67 by 6 votes filtre says: "Cheap, nasty and rowdy, the Leadmill is one of, if not the, best live venues in Sheffield. The stages and atmosphere are so much better than others in getting that slightly seedy, defiantly indie vibe into the open and into your face. Which suits most of the people there, who fit that same description." |

Transport Museum in Glasgow - rated 5.00 by 8 votes jamtart6 says: "What an amazing day out this was!! The museum was fantastic it had loads of old buses, trams, cars, bikes, prams - even a train! You name it, it had every mode of transport you could think of!" |

Montezuma’s in Brighton - rated 4.43 by 7 votes mazphd says: "My favourite decadent treat when I return to Brighton, which is not often enough, is a visit to Montezuma’s for a hot chocolate and brisk walk along the front. Enough to make you fall head over heels." |

Ichiban Noodle Cafe - rated 4.50 by 10 votes Lin says: "This is a really nice noodle bar and quite authentic. The place always looks clean and the food is very fresh and made on the premises. Extensive menu includes multitude of rice dishes and noodle broths as well as really nice sushi. Great vegetarian, meat and seafood choices." |

Spices in Worthing - rated 4.89 by 9 votes johnt says: "I’ve been coming to Spices since 1997 and each time I visit Worthing I make a point of coming at least once during my stay. The food is as good as you will find anywhere with fresh ingredients prepared by husband and wife team Suda and Air in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere." |
