Editor’s Letter
Hello and welcome to this month’s Covered – the magazine for the Leeds suburbs. This month our Food & Drink feature takes a look at Bar t’at in Ilkley – a great destination that is ideal for those of you that like to take in a bit of the fabulous Yorkshire countryside too. So pop up to the moor, stretch your legs and then call in and try it out, you won’t be disappointed! If you visit a restaurant, brasserie or pub which you think deserves a mention then please let us know. We make no charge to the establishment for our features, which means that we can offer an impartial, genuine opinion of the offerings there. Also, a picture speaks a thousand words and all the images in the features are taken on the day of our visit, there’s no time for setting up studio shots. If the food looks good in the feature then it generally is!
I’m also keen to feature other businesses in Covered and I’d welcome recommendations on any type of business you think has gone above and beyond the call of duty to provide excellent service, a fabulous product or a business with a story – some heritage perhaps. Again, we wouldn’t make a charge for these features but if we don’t know about the star businesses in our area then we can’t give them a well deserved slap on the back and tell others. Looking to the next edition; the deadline for editorial submissions and listings in our Really Useful Guide is 09/10/14 and the advertising deadline is 09/10/14. Until next month, Editor chris@covered-magazine.net
our exceptional service leaves others in the shade With in-depth local knowledge and excellent client service, why wouldn’t you choose your local expert?

Food & Drink
Bar t’at Tucked away in a quiet corner of the genteel spa town of Ilkley sits a lovely little place going by the very apt name of Bar T’at, a linguistic spin on the old rhyme for which the town is fabled. A quick look at Trip Advisor reveals a plethora of 5 star reviews, aimed largely at the quality of the food, range of ales and friendly staff, so we decided it was time to pay them a visit to find out more.
Bar T’at is situated on Cunliffe Road but can also be accessed from the main central car park around the Moors Shopping Centre. Approaching from the front you get a sense that this end terrace property was once a house or a shop, now doubled in size by an extension built onto the side, and it’s reminiscent of the ever popular Fanny’s Ale House over in
Saltaire. Once inside though, it’s very different. Though the range of cask, keg and bottled ales may rival Fanny’s, the space is a lot more airy and relaxed and there’s a multi level beer garden to the rear of the bar which is ideal for a quick pint whilst out walking the dog. This place has also got something that a lot of real ale pubs lack… outstanding food.
There’s a new team in place here at Bar T’at and Head Chef, David Dockerty, is one of the newest additions. Having worked previously at restaurants and bars largely around the Horsforth area of Leeds, David is keen to expand the range available and to showcase the venue as a great place for a spot of evening dining. Whilst keeping the popular classic pub food such as Lishman’s sausage and mash, home made pie of the day and fish and chips, the new menu which has been introduced includes such delights as smoked haddock risotto, served with a poached egg, to start with and main courses include pan fried salmon with fondant potato and a pancetta and baby onion fricassee or a cajun spiced lamb, served with coriander rice and salsa. Desserts include the age old classic sticky toffee pudding with a vanilla pod ice cream

Food & Drink
and sandwiches and lighter meals are available during the day and include a caramelised onion and Yorkshire blue cheese ciabatta melt or a Bar T’at platter for 2, a modern day
take on Ploughman’s Lunch, and the ideal accompaniment to real ale. The menu will change and vary as seasonal produce is used and is all sourced locally. There are
vegetarian and gluten free options available and also a 1 or 2 course roast is available on a Sunday. Wednesdays are also proving popular with the quiz and a burger nights and other special offers are available through the web site. And if you’re looking for somewhere different for a Christmas or New Year meal or party, these start at the end of November at Bar T’at with a range of dishes available. Ham hock terrine with homemade piccalilli, granary toast is an example of just one of the starters and if you fancy something a little different to the usual turkey with trimmings (which is also available) you could try braised ox cheek, served with mash potato, sticky red cabbage and dates with a red wine jus. Peanut butter cheesecake with chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce is one of the desserts available.
The labyrinth of rooms at Bar T’at offer something for everyone, with quiet nooks and crannies for a quiet, romantic meal through to a larger bar area for chatting with friends and a downstairs ‘cellar’ dining room, which has a cosy candlelit atmosphere and is ideal for a family get-together.
Local Food
Pre-booking is necessary for all Christmas and New Year meals though. The labyrinth of rooms at Bar T’at offer something for everyone, with quiet nooks and crannies for a quiet, romantic meal through to a larger bar area for chatting with friends and a downstairs ‘cellar’ dining room, which has a cosy candlelit atmosphere and is ideal for a family get-together. There’s even a separate function room where up to 3040 people can be catered for, and this is a great space for private parties or an afternoon tea or buffet, and has it’s own access to the beer garden. This may all change soon though as the venue is soon to undergo a refurbishment as part of a chain of 15 bars run by Market Town Taverns. Each bar feels quite unique though and is run independently by the team in house.
General Manager at Bar T’at, Sarah Brown, leads the relatively small, but friendly and attentive, team here and talks through some of the real ales on offer… and there’s quite a lot. There’s a great range of 8 cask ales available, Timothy Taylor’s, Black Sheep, Roosters and Ilkley Brewery all have a permanent place on the bar, whilst the remaining pumps are dedicated to an ever changing range of guest ales. Usually, one pump features a single brewery’s ales for a few weeks, enabling customers to get to know that whole brewery’s range and they always have a dark beer (mild, stout or porter) available on one of the other pumps. Taster trays are available for either cask or keg beer and are a great way to try a variety of drinks, offering 3 smaller glasses which equal a pint. There’s an unusual selection of bottled beers and ciders too, from
9
Belgium’s Floris chocolate beer through to Timmerman’s Peche fruit ale. Hot drinks are also served throughout the day. Amongst the rave reviews found online, comments such as “the waiter remembered what we were drinking” and “the staff recommended an excellent choice” seem to crop up time and time again and it’s this sort of service which has made Bar T’at popular with the locals. Now, with a new and invigorated menu available, this seems the ideal place to visit for a good meal after a spot of shopping or if you’re looking forward to a nice pint after wandering out on Ilkla Moor baht ‘at. Bar T’at can be contacted on Facebook and Twitter and also through their website www.markettowntaverns.co.uk
10 News from the Suburbs
Jeevan Looking over His Shoulder Last month we reported how eight-years-old Jeevan of Leeds Golf Centre was heading to St Andrews in Scotland to represent West Yorkshire in the Wee Wonders age-grouped national golf championships. It wasn’t to be. On the day, a nonetheless creditable 111 (over 27 holes) earned him a mid-table 20th place. According to granddad Jaspal, pictured here with Jeevan, an even younger grandson is showing equal potential – Jeevan’s two-years-old brother is already demonstrating the perfect golf swing. With the annual tournament broken into four age groups between 5 and 12, Jaspal might be finding himself in Scotland every August for the next ten years ...
The Maxwell Brothers in WWI – update Last month we underlined the difficulties faced by people researching ancestors’ whereabouts during WWI, whether for personal reasons or for one of the many parish projects funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The example we gave was this image held on Leeds CC’s Leodis online pictures archive - the details given didn’t tally with those held on ancestry.co.uk, CWGC records or the regimental monument in Canterbury Cathedral (all online). Leodis has confirmed and is correcting the error. As a result of that article, we received a letter from Cynthia Ruston, who with the help of HLF, is researching all forty-eight Meanwood men commemorated on her local war memorial. Cynthia’s letter included a message supporting the article; “It’s a case of check, double check and go back and check again.” Another reader, Anthony Child, also wrote in. Although he also finds National Archives records a valuable research resource, he had found and reported similar errors in the case of two members of his own family. By coincidence, on a past visit to Meanwood Memorial, he had noticed the date of Arthur Maxwell’s death being the very next day (30 August). Accordingly, he laid a few flowers as a tribute - and recently laid a poppy cross for both brothers at a service commemorating the outbreak of the First Battle of the Somme.
Arthur Maxwell, from Meanwood, was killed on 30 August 1914, shortly after the outbreak of WWI. His brother William, also with 9th Lancers, died on 11 May 1915. The work and sentiments of people like Cynthia Ruston and Anthony Child has brought and will keep awareness of all such sacrifices into today’s communities.

The Corn Exchange As Nexus Arts Festival launches at the Corn Exchange in Leeds, it’s a far cry from the building’s beginnings when the doors first opened in 1864. This Victorian Grade 1 listed building has suffered a turbulent few years, but remains one of the few corn exchanges still used for trading, though the corn may be gone and is replaced by boutique shopping, dining and cultural events. Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, the Hull architect who also designed Leeds Town Hall, this iconic landmark sits on the junction of Boar Lane and Vicar Lane and began life as an exchange hall for merchants and farmers to buy and sell grain. Modelled on the Halle au Blé in Paris, and costing a total of £30,000 to complete, the hall elevated Leeds’ standing in the grain industry and business flourished throughout the 19th century. Grain was being imported in vast quantities from North America and Europe and Leeds already had a well established travel network. The
surrounding area, along the River Aire, became dominated by flour mills and from 1903 the Corn Exchange was also used as a leather market. Business continued to do well until the 1980s when few traders remained. At this time Leeds Civic Trust proposed to regenerate the building and turn it into a concert hall similar to the Royal Albert Hall in London but, in 1985, Speciality Shops won the contract to redevelop the Corn Exchange and turn it into a bespoke shopping centre and it was at this time that a large opening was cut into the trading floor, creating
the lower balcony we see today. Staircases were added to allow access to the basement level below. The Corn Exchange re-opened in 1990 and any remaining corn traders were permitted to remain trading on Tuesdays, as they had done for many years. This continued until 1994 when corn trading ceased

after a total of 131 years in the building. By this time, many of the surrounding buildings had been restored and the area is now known as the Exchange Quarter. A further restoration in 2007 saw the hall converted into a food emporium and the ground level
occupied by Anthony’s until it’s recent closure. Now it’s back to independent retailers selling gifts and clothing whilst the venue launches regular events such as food festivals, craft markets and the new Nexus Arts Festival which showcased the work of seven emerging artists, who combined their various disciplines for the event. Nexus is about bringing art, music and performance into popular spaces and the Corn Exchange was brought to life by a vibrant mix of comedy, dance and music alongside the art work on display and provided creative artists with a new platform. Festival Director, Stephanie Upsall, feels that creative events should be open and assessable for all to experience and Nexus is about bringing hidden communities to the forefront to be enjoyed by everyone and not regarded as expensive or elitist.

WALK
YOURSELF
FIT
When most people think of being active and getting fit they think of throwing weights around in the gym and sampling the latest muscle building supplements but that is not for everyone, so if you want to get fit at a steady pace and see some of Yorkshire’s most beautiful natural sights in the process why not try… walking. You did read that right, walking. It may not give you huge muscles or allow you to run marathons but it is a great, free and easy way to look, feel and be healthier. All you need is a comfy pair of shoes, a bottle of water and yourself and you’re ready to go. The NHS says that regular walking has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma,
strokes and some cancers. Start of light and go on short walks before you tackle mountains and also invest in a pedometer to see how many steps you are doing each day and monitor your improvement. Getting to a local legs bums and tums class is not easy for everyone but walking is available whenever you’re free and will help you to tone the same muscles. If you walk up hills and focus on your posture not only are your legs going to become more and more defined but your abs will also start to tone up. There are many health benefits to walking but there can also be social benefits, as walking in a group will help to make friends and spur you on if
your stamina begins to run out. Living in this part of the world has its benefits and one of these is the amazing views that can be enjoyed, you just need to know where they are and be willing to walk to get to them. There are many local walking groups to get involved with so take the plunge! Visit www.walkingforhealth.org. uk/walkfinder for walking clubs near you. Enjoy.

Education 17
The Coming School Year… Schools have been back for a few weeks and most classes will have been retested by their teacher. Parents’ evenings are approaching, and before we know it, Christmas will be here! We lead very busy lives and time flies. At Kip McGrath, the most common frustration we see from parents is when they have left it too late to get extra help for their child. Every school year is important but there are several key dates to be aware of:November – GCSE resits January – Entrance exams for Grammar and Private schools May / June – SATs & GCSEs Kip McGrath specialise in preparing children for Entrance Exams, as questions can be worded very differently. Very large numbers of parents who are
planning on this route seek specialist tuition to help their child. In our experience, the most common problem with SATs and GCSEs is that children have missed key areas of learning, making understanding difficult. Once identified, progress quickly follows. It can never be too early to get extra tuition for your child. It can be too late. Thanks to: Chris I’Anson, Centre Director, Kip McGrath, Garforth.

Autumn crocuses will begin flowering soon
Never put a 1 shilling plant in a 1 penny hole.
This is the month of mists and mellow fruitfulness, beautiful sunsets and vivid leaf colours of oranges and yellows. The vivid purples of autumn crocuses, nerines and other late flowering bulbs, enjoy all the colours before the winter arrives. Now is the time to clear all remaining plant material into the compost bins, then make a start on your winter digging. Once a space has been cleared, start to plant your overwintering onions, garlic and broad beans. There is still time to buy and transplant both winter and spring cabbages, together with the different kinds of kale. In the flower garden, mark or make a note of your best dahlias and chrysanthemums, in order to save your best plants for storing after the first frosts. This will allow you to propagate the best cuttings in the spring. If you’re thinking of buying some new plants, bare root roses, fruit bushes and other plants will establish themselves quickly if purchased and planted now. The warm soil will allow them to establish a good root system before the first cold spell, and it is worth remembering – prepare the planting hole well with good compost and fertilizer.
Blackberries and summer raspberries are now finished, so cut out all the old fruiting material, and tie in the new canes for flowering next year. If your apples and pear trees are still fully laden, continue to pick the fruit as it ripens for storing in a cool dark place. As the month progresses, start to move all you tender plants under cover, otherwise, make them a deep mulch over their heads to keep them warm. If you like fresh herbs for cooking, make a number of pots to sit on the kitchen windowsill. The HAGA Trading Hut is open 7pm-8pm every Friday.

Winter Visitors
delicate trilling call. Waxwings can turn up anywhere, even on trees in supermarket car parks!
Stand outside your house on a clear cold October night and listen carefully, and you may hear the distant “seep” sounds that are the contact calls of flocks of redwings, flying unseen high above, as they escape the snow and ice of the far north to winter in the UK. A member of the thrush family, the redwing is named for the orangered patch beneath its wing, and nearly 700,000 birds arrive here in the autumn. Watch out for them on berry bushes and rowan trees – they are smaller than our native thrushes, and tend to flit about in a nervous manner.
For some inspiring autumn nature activities, from fungus forays to wader watching and stargazing, check out the RSPB’s website: www.rspb.org.uk
Also arriving soon from the north are fieldfares, again a thrush, but large and colourful, roaming the countryside in noisy flocks and feeding on insects, worms and berries. Both these birds will visit gardens, especially in freezing weather, so keep an eye out for them. Perhaps the most exotic and visible of the winter visitors are the
waxwings, whose arrival depends largely on the availability of food in their native Scandinavia. For this reason, they can arrive much later or even not at all in some years. They are a striking reddishbrown bird, starling-sized, with a prominent crest, black throat and yellow-tipped wings and tail. They are mostly seen in flocks from a half dozen to hundreds, and have a lovely
