The flavours
Food & drink
Dewsbury eats well and eats early — the market's traders are pouring teas before the streetlights go off, and the kitchens don't stop until the last chai is served.

Start at the market: fruit and veg stacked by hand, bakers pulling the first trays, and café counters where a full breakfast costs what a city coffee does.
Then follow your nose through the centre — grocers with spices you won't find in a supermarket, sweet centres stacked with mithai, charcoal grills, pizza ovens and dessert houses open long after the shops shut.
It's honest food at honest prices, cooked by people who'd rather feed you well than dress it up. Come hungry.
