remember…

Maybe you’re ready to start delving into the mince pies and mulled wine, or maybe you’re reluctant to think about the ‘C’ word at the moment…either way, there’s no stopping winter’s imminent arrival. First and foremost, where would November be without a mention of Bonfire Night? Celebrations of colour, sparkle and remembering Yorkshire’s notorious conspirator, Guy Fawkes, there are plenty of local displays about this month, including the North Yorkshire and Fire Rescue Service Firework Display in Rawcliffe, or the Sky Magic event in Driffield if you fancy somewhere a little further afield.

The Aesthetica Short Film Festival makes an appearance at the start of the month, an excellent event for budding directors and movie buffs, showcasing the best of new cinema to the city of York. Now in its 12th year, the city’s Business Festival also makes a return and there will be plenty of insightful conferences, seminars and valuable networking opportunities taking place across the month. If you’re feeling festive, this month sees the start of the Christmas celebrations kicking off, including St Nicholas’ Fair which is celebrating its 30th year. There will be plenty of christmassy stalls lining the streets of York, carol concerts aplenty and even the arrival of the Ice Factor Ice Rink at the Designer Outlet. So, whether you’re already feeling the yuletide cheer creeping in or you’re not quite there yet, however you choose to celebrate November in the city, we wish you a great time.

Located within the historic, art-filled Elmbank Hotel that overlooks York’s leafy Knavesmire, Leetham’s Brasserie is a local gem. Recently refurbished and now offering a delicious new Sunday Lunch menu, Leetham’s has been on our foodie radar for a while. Never one to turn down a roast (or food for that matter), we hear from our writer, Emily, who was lucky enough to try it out: Heading into the restaurant, a historic hall setting, there are already some diners enjoying a delightful afternoon tea. This feels like the type of place you’d take the in-laws for a relaxed lunch - sophisticated but not overly so. A friendly front-ofhouse member takes us to our table, by a large bay window. As

I sit down on a plush, blue velvet chair, I already feel at home. The menu is simple but varied. For starters, the Whitby Crab Croquettes is the clear winnerthree crispy croquettes, all fluffy on the inside with a fresh yet subtle taste of local crab. These golden bites of goodness are perfectly complimented with citrusy saffron mayonnaise. For the main, I opt for a deliciously tender cut of pork complete with stuffing, crisp roasties, honey-glazed carrots, parsnips, and a pillowy Yorkshire Pudding, all whilst enjoying a cooling glass of Sauvignon Blanc. With any roast dinner, my ultimate fear (along with many northerners) is a lack of gravy, however, to my sheer delight, I am pleasantly surprised with

the arrival of a sideboard that includes an extra pot of gravy each, braised red cabbage and creamy cauliflower cheese. After some well-needed time to digest, I tuck into a StickyToffee-Pudding style Yorkshire Ginger Parkin served warm with an oozing treacle fudge sauce, custard, and a scoop of chocolate ice cream. It’s the perfect autumnal dessert and one that will send me straight to the sofa for a post-food nap when I get home.

The verdict: A classic venue, with attentive, friendly staff and delicious, flavourful food. A must-visit for roast fans! For more information, visit www. elmbankhotel.com/.
