I really don't like these sort of places, especially not to drink in. No rating provided.
A covered market hall, with many nationalities of food to order from. It's all too confusing, especially as a solo traveller with no one to guard a table.
I wanted food, so went to the bar here and asked if was OK to bring food from one of the outlets to the tables in front of the bar. She said "No". Maybe confused in that she thought I meant food from outside the venue.
I went for a previously untried German Lager (Furstenberg) - very nice in the authentic glass. Sat at the end of the a shared table. Was joined by a teetotal woman, who told me she didnt drink because she had a brain tumour. Her dad only drank one pint a week, as he was responsible and more or less told me I was degenerate. You cannot knock the elderlies power of observation.
Noticed that everyone else was eating, with deliveries coming from all over. I played safe and went for the Italian place directly next to my table. First three choices of meal unavailable and then waited an extended amount of time (bearing in mind my lifestyle choices were being interrogated), as it was made fresh.
Good Beer Guide 2026 listed, but I think I picked the wrong place out of four options.

Visited back in February on a Thursday afternoon. Four cask options at the bar that were all initially on, but the one I asked for went off mid pour and was removed. Second choice was decent, Ossett Trip #2 at £4.10 a pint (£2.05 half) and was also the cheapest of the day.
A bit chilly in the shared seating area (seems strange typing this in the middle of a July heatwave) and the metal chairs are a bit harsh on the backside. But I do like it here and I will definitely return.

Different, a stand within the food market with tables in front. Good service and good products & you can order food from the market. Not traditional by any means but very good for what it offers
