Food and Drink in Yorkshire
The Yorkshire Pudding, Wensleydale Cheese, Rhubarb, Liquorice and Parkin are just some of the delicious treats heralded from glorious Yorkshire. Wherever you’re staying, we can guarantee that you’ll find something tasty closeby, but there are some extra-special restaurants, cafes and iconic dishes that you must try on your Yorkshire break. Our local team have lent us their knowledge of the best spots across the region to eat and drink, but be sure to book your Yorkshire holiday cottage before you get stuck into these mouth-watering options.
Betty’s Vintage Tea Hut, Litton, Wharfedale
Fancy afternoon tea in a Shepherd’s Hut? Well you can expect that and more at Betty’s Vintage Tea Hut in Litton. Owner Ann puts in a tremendous effort at the Tea Hut, making sure everything is homemade and one-hundred percent fresh. A great little stop for tea and cake if you are walking in the area, Betty’s Hut is also just a short drive away from nearby Skipton. Beautifully decorated and wonderfully cosy, a tasty treat from Betty’s will be one to remember.
Eat Me Cafe, Scarborough
Going on holiday with a group of people who all have different tastes? If you’re around the Yorkshire coast then be sure to visit the Eat Me Cafe in Scarborough. Serving everything from Japanese ramen, to Mac ‘N’ Cheese, burgers and ‘Dhal of the Week’, this funky little fusion restaurant has something for everyone.
The Sandpiper Inn, Leyburn
Leyburn in the Dales in a beautiful setting for a beautiful restaurant like The Sandpiper Inn. Resident Chef Jonathan Harrison prides himself on using the best local produce in every single one of the Sandpiper’s dishes. Their menu is constantly changing to meet seasonal requirements and they also offer a children’s menu and a vegan menu. On colder days the bar at The Sandpiper comes into its own, as people (and dogs) gather round the log burning fire for ultimate warmth and relaxation.
Bluebird Bakery, Malton, Leeds & York
This family-run bakery started out in 2011, with its original home being in Malton, before spreading to venues in York and Kirkgate Market in Leeds. Specialising in fresh, artisanal bread, the Bluebird Bakery has made a regional and national name for itself over the last decade. Any of the mentioned venues are amazing, but for that extra-fresh experience, Malton is unbeaten as the shop is attached to the bakery, meaning everything is straight from the oven.
The Magpie Cafe, Whitby
A site you are always guaranteed to see in Whitby is the queue for the Magpie. This iconic black and white building has been a feature of Whitby’s seafront for decades. Selling classics such as fresh fish and chips, their famous chowder and extensive seafood selection, the Magpie is loved by all who visit. It may be popular, but never fear, booking ahead is available! They also have a separate fish and chip shop if it’s too packed to dine in.
