Things To Do In Halifax West Yorkshire Travel Review Vlog

Hello you beautiful people it's Toothy, Tooth Decay. Today we are in Halifax which is

proper in the heart of just Dino country. So maybe I should have said, what's

happening people. If you like food reviews, supermarket comparisons, too good to go bags, 10 pound challenges then get on over to Dino's channel. Great guy, loads

of content, link below. I stayed for two nights at the premiere in Halifax South

which has a bit of a hotel motel thing going on about it. It's also about a 40

minute walk back uptown to where McAfee's is. Cost me about five pound fifty

in an Uber though and you kind of had to do that because you've got a Brewers

Fair and a Mickey D's round here and not much else. McAfee's was a recommendation from just Dino so I popped in for a Guinness and

tried my hand at splitting the G. I kept overshooting the mark so I had to keep

trying which felt like a good idea at the time. The next day I visited the

which was used to behead people from the 13th to the 17th centuries. It's different

to a guillotine in so far as it's wedge-shaped rather than triangle shaped

and they were never really that sharp so they used to rely on the height and weight to more or less tear the person's head off rather than cut it off. The

legend of the running man is explained here whereby it was said that if people

could run to the spot now inhabited by the running man pub just down the road

they'd be let go. I then went up to Beacon Hill to see the stunning views and West Yorkshire's beautiful and rugged terrain. There's a

network of beacons on hills across the land and they really were used to send

warning messages across vast distances. Proper Lord of the Rings style. That

night I was back out on a town with a few of the locals. We started back at

McAfee's and then down to another little bar near the Peace Hall with this funky bottle ceiling and then we were actually into the Peace Hall to see the

streets. This is a fantastic venue and it has loads of gigs on. It really was a

great night out with proper northern hospitality. Can't beat it. The next day

I had a few hours to kill before getting the train home so I went back to have a look around the Peace Hall. It has loads of little independent shops here and

there are bars and cafes dotted around. It's just a really nice space to be in

You wouldn't want to visit this part of the world and not come and see it. Put it that way. I wandered out to the Westgate Arcade because I was really

craving a full English breakfast and a little restaurant called La Luna scored

really high on Google so in true Gary Eats style I gave it a go. There's

another great channel if you like restaurant and cafe reviews. Gary Eats

Link below. That folks, one of the best breakfasts I've had for a very long time

So the toast was a bit of ciabatta and it was crisped up nicely but not so much

that you'd break your teeth. The beans were tomatoey and sweet and a nice thick

sauce on them. The sausages were meaty and herby and had a really really good

flavor. The bacon was thick and salty and it almost seasoned the rest of the meal

The eggs were soft on top but they were sort of like just set at the bottom so

you had, it didn't matter which way you like your eggs, they certainly weren't snotty at all. The mushroom, yeah alright I could take or leave mushrooms but this

one was actually pretty good. The tomato was cooked nicely, it was just falling

apart. A couple of char marks would have been nice but look that's just getting

right down to the nitty-gritty now right. So overall that for me was an

outstanding breakfast and I've got the bill here so let's have a look. So that

breakfast with the added hash browns was £12.50, it's £10.50 without the hash

browns and then £3.30 for the tea which, come on you know you're gonna get

stung for tea these days right. Nobody sells it for 60p a cup anymore but

there was a pot with at least three cups in it and to be fair it was actually

quite a nice tea so you know I'm not gonna complain. So the whole bill came to

£15.80 and then they put, they did add on the optional service charge which was

£1.50 so it was £17.38. Now if you just went in there and had the

breakfast no service charge whether you added the hash browns or not and the

hash browns actually were really really crispy they were gorgeous. Again you

know I like a potato element on a breakfast, they were really good. So if

you ignore the fact that I added that on, at £10.50 that is amazing value. I

would definitely say go and have some of that. Even with the hash browns £2

extra I still think that is outstanding value. I look at like some of the local

cafes near me and do you know what you ain't getting away for less than a

tenner most of the time it's absolutely shite. So yeah so if you happen to be up

in Halifax and you're around the Peace Hall definitely come to La Luna it was

an absolutely fantastic breakfast one of the best I've had for a long long time. Alright, later potatoes off your pop
