What are your favourite places to
eat and drink in and around Leeds?
I spent a lot of my time on Street Lane in Roundhay
about 10 minutes from the centre in north Leeds
where there are a couple of good pubs – the Roundhay
Fox (www.vintageinn.co.uk) and the Deer Park
(www.deerparkleeds.co.uk). For food there’s Flying Pizza
(www.sancarlo.co.uk), a nice Turkish/Mediterranean place
called the Olive Branch (www.theolivebranchrestaurants.com).
Ten minutes from Roundhay is a lovely little suburb
called Chapel Allerton, which has some good Indian
restaurants and a Greek placed called The Olive
(www.theoliveleeds.co.uk). They’re two wonderful little
pockets in Leeds’ metropolitan area. I had many happy
years in Leeds – my daughter was born there and we still
own a house there so we have a real affinity with the city.
The Deer Park
It’s a place very close to our hearts.
Did you venture out of the city?
There’s lots of lovely countryside, little villages and a
lot of golf courses. Wetherby, about 30km north of
Leeds on the River Wharfe, is one of my favourite places
in England. Martyn Moxon, Yorkshire’s director of cricket
lives there as did the late Dave Callaghan, the BBC radio
commentator and my great mate. There’s one of the
best Italian places in Yorkshire called Sant’ Angelo
(www.santangelo.co.uk) and a really good gastropub

Hearing all those old stories about Fred

an evening in his company. You hear about
his exploits and his obvious skills as a fast
