Places to eat and drink

Here's a list of fine places to eat and drink.

• Fleas House in Huddersfield was a nick name for the Fleece which has now be renamed to be "The Palm Springs"
• The Flea Pit is an organic cafe at Columbia Road, London
• The Footage in Manchester, Grosvenor St, Manchester used to be called the "Flea and Firkin"
• Flea Street Cafe is another organic restaurant but in Menlo Park, California, USA.

I am not sure of the origins of the word Fleapit but it typically refers to a cinema with poor cleaning hence the seats are full of fleas!
