Steve C left this review about Fox & Newt
The Fox & Newt is a thin pub with a wood flooring throughout and a central bar counter on the rear wall that faces a couple of tables to the front. Seating is found to the left and raised seating is to the right. Premium keg was available and two of the six hand pumps were in operation drawing Small World Beers’ Spike’s Gold and Great Newsome’s Holly Blue. Food is available, including £18 Safari Burgers made with a choice of Ostrich, Wild Board or Kangaroo. I think I’d prefer one of the £9.50 hotdogs. During a recent Saturday afternoon visit there was some background music playing whilst rolling news aired on the television. There’s a rigid £10 minimum card spend. The barmaid actually turned away the guy in front of me because he had only ordered a coke. She was going to pour it away until I said I’d have it for one of my kids. Madness to turn away trade like that, especially when the pub is completely empty.

Just outside the city centre, the former Rutland Hotel is the home of the Burley Street Brewhouse, which is situated in the cellar. At the time of my visit there were two of their own beers and two guests (see photos). I went for the Brickyard Bitter, which was disappointingly stale - not undrinkable, just not vibrant or enticing.
The bar is to the left on entering, with seating in front and also in a raised area by the right hand window. I was expecting a bigger pub, somehow: it felt almost cramped. I'll give this one another go next time I'm in Leeds - it's almost on the way to the rugby league at Headingley - and hope to find the beer in better nick.

Another little brew pub that is well worth the walk out of the city centre. Three locally brewed beers on the bar, two of them from the pub itself, named after motor racing circuits. I opted for Brickyard as a golden beer over the paler Laguna Seca.
Nice chatty staff, clean toilets, not to busy around 5pm on a Saturday.
