Situated near the Corn Exchange and recognisable by its enormous fishtank facade, Norman is a not-so-subtle combination of a fine-art degree show, toast-rack and a branch of French Connection. Oh, and it has a bar.
Firstly, lets be nice. The food is actually pretty good - a light, summery Thai influenced menu at sensible-ish prices. Trouble is, you will need to perch on an enormous day-glo Duplo brick in order to eat it. The furniture exemplifies everything that is wayward in product design today. Form-over-function never seemed so apt when you return home from an uncomfortable evening perched on one of these monstrosities to find that 'Made in Chelsea' has been indelibly branded on your arse reminiscent of an enormous, effete Action Man.
The kitchens are tucked behind a curved, bulbous white wall which runs the length of the bar, screaming "Graffiti me!". I do not know how many times this wall has been repainted in Norman's short life, but I remember it looked decidedly filthy after only a few weeks of trading. A slightly grubby igloo.
The eskimo theme pervades the loos as well. Ally McBeal and her unisex toilets have a lot to answer for. Boys to the left, girls to the right... or should that be the other way around? Apparently conducive to breaking down conversational barriers, it seems to me like a poor excuse for the boys to wander in and out of the ladies bogs, try to sneak a peek and leave, reputation otherwise intact.
Next we come to the mullets. This has got to be one of the best reasons to pay top whack for a bottle of Becks. Apparently they were originally spotted invading Shoreditch, Soho, Brick Lane etc. but a few have migrated north and can be found discussing ad. campaigns, sipping Michelob and preening; perched on ridiculous plastic stools like a flock of Bon Jovis.

Quick review of Norman (Leeds)
Normans is a very relaxed, laid back bar with excellent, fresh, light cuisine cooked in a unique style, combining Thai / Japanese / Asian flavours and dishes cooked to a very high standard. The food is freshly prepared and will have your mouth watering. With very reasonable prices, this is an eatery which will have you going back again and again. ...

Advantages: in the city Disadvantages: terrible atmosphere
Normans is the worst bar in the nicest part of Leeds. Avoid at all costs. It can ruin a good night out in town. The music may suit some but is generally poor. The atmosphere is crowded and oppressive - you always get the feeling trouble is just one nudge away and spend your whole time wondering where the next argument is coming from. During the day the food is disctinctly average. Much better can be found just round the corner. The staff are slow ... ...Normans has really let itself go over the past year. The recent redecotration - dodgy china and fake palms - has made the place look very seedy. It is such a dissapointment considering it's location. Mind you if you want to have a better experience just cross the road to Oporto and Jake's Bar where the atmosphere is much more friendly. ...

Advantages: Fantastic historical castle, extensive grounds, maze and grotto, suitable for all ages Disadvantages: Can be busy in summer
for an adult is £10, students £8.50 and children £6.50. You can also buy a family ticket for £29. This might seem a little on the expensive side, but for a fantastic day out, I think it’s well worth the money spent.
There has been an actual castle at Leeds since 1119, built by one of the descendants of the Norman knights who had come over to England in 1066. It was built on a little island, (so you walk over a drawbridge to enter), and is connected to a fortified mill. This mill appears in the famous Domesday Book, showing that the site was of importance even before the castle itself was built. However, since 1119, the castle has undergone many changes. After the civil wars between Stephen and Matilda in the 12th century, the castle was taken over by Henry III, starting a long history of royal ownership.
Extensive alterations were ...
