Originally
conceived as a cheap takeaway for the working man, fish and chips
still play a large part in the culinary diet of Headingley folk.
Three
chip ‘oils stand out. All are renowned and very popular. Bretts,
µþ°ù²â²¹²Ô’s and ²Ñ¾±»å²µ±ô±ð²â’s make a triumvirate for the connoisseurs of
haddock to wonder at.
Bretts
Bretts is an ivy-clad terrace in North Lane which is
both a takeaway and restaurant. During the summer the Test Match
Special team can be seen dining here in breaks in the cricket. It
does get very busy at Bretts all year round, but even if you do
get caught in the queue your patience will be rewarded.

A match day favourite |
²Ñ¾±»å²µ±ô±ð²â’s
This is a traditional takeaway located in the narrow St Michael’s
Lane on the way to the Headingley ground. On
a big-match day the queue will be out of the shop causing a veritable
log jam. But, of course, this could be seen as a vote of confidence
in what's on offer inside.
µþ°ù²â²¹²Ô’s
Bryan's is conveniently located just behind the Three
Horseshoes and is therefore an indispensable post-pint stop. A busy
restaurant compliments the continuous takeaway trade. Such is the
trade that customers often just abandon cars on double yellow lines
to join the hungry queues. (Note that directly opposite is Beer
Ritz, a specialist off-licence crammed full of esoteric brews -
cheers!)
