That's a good call, forgot that the german Market was in town

Be prepared to queue up for a while if you go to the German market, either that or get there early, about 8 a.m should do it....

The missus and I went last year - got there at 2:00 on Saturday afternoon and queued for over an hour to get in.

I'm 6ft4 with a 36" inside leg.........oh and an Alex ferguson watch.

Not suprised we got there at around 2.30 last Saturday and didn't even bother trying to get in it was that busy.

It's how they've got it set up mate. The big square bar in the middle has gone to get more benches in. Now the bar is a standard one against one of the walls, and there aren't enough serving. Mad queues!

I dont know why everyone goes to that massive bar. yes you always have to queue up to get in there. For me i prefer the little bar in the corner near The Thai Edge. Its alfresco drinking and thats where its at. Cant he Harris'd with queueing up for the big bar. Plus the little one you get served faster

you off for the sausage as well?

I agree.I stayed at Jury's Inn on my last visit home just round the corner from the Adalphi it was very good

There's some great pubs with great locally brewed real ale. Why stand outside in the cold drinking tasteless pap?

With the city centre so compact there is a smorgasboard of hostelries to choose from for all your tastes and all within easy walking/staggering distance of the train station where the shuttle service will operate from.

The ale at the christmas market is top notch if you know what to look for. Also you cant beat a gluweine and a cheeky Jagermeister! (purely so that you can play Jager dominos afterwards). And to be honest we'll only spend an hour there then onto the Townhall Tavern and then The Hop and Midnight Bell.


Anyone coming from outside of Leeds, can I suggest the Sky Bar in the Mint Hotel. If its a nice clear day you'll be able to pick your walking route very easily from the bar
