The Hare Inn (2009)
There is a beautiful 13th century dingly dell sort of a place set amongst the moorland and forests of the North York Moors, nestled in the Rievaulx Valley. It's said a certain pub derived its name from a local witch who, in medieval times, by dint of being chased in the form of a...Read This Article
Eating On The North York Moors (2009)
Fancy a walk on the wild side, and that would have to be the North York Moors, that island highland of Yorkshire paradise bound by The Hambleton and Cleveland Hills to the west and the North Sea to the east. Tucked away in its enfolding arms are some hideaways that are pretty tim...Read This Article
Storm (2009)
Harrogate’s Swan Road may appear a picture of serenity, but there’s now a Storm brewing. The question for diners in this otherwise sedate Regency town, is whether this is a storm in a tea cup? Or something to get excited about? The fact that this latest addition t...Read This Article
The Art Of Experimentation (2009)
What today we take for granted in the kitchen is the result of past experimentation and there are some chefs who seem to be permanently in experimental mode. These are the cutting edge culinary scientists amongst us -- people like Heston Blumenthal of The Fat Duck in Bray, Berksh...Read This Article
The Olive Press (2008)
Down by the canal in Leeds in a former grain warehouse, where a string of praiseworthy restaurants have had a go before now, The Olive Press is iconic Lancastrian chef Paul Heathcote’s latest venture. Although you might be hard-pressed to secure your waterside place at the ...Read This Article
The City Limits (2008)
As far as urban dining goes, the edge of town can be an interesting proposition. If you're a city dweller, it's not too much of a trek away from home. Or for out-of towners, you can avoid the hassle of parking or negotiating the city centre traffic. Leeds Seventeen is one of ...Read This Article
J Baker's Bistro Moderne (2008)
Michelin stars don't come easy. Chef extraordinaire Jeff Baker helped the now defunct Pool Court in Leeds to secure one but then owner Michael Gill upped sticks and retired to warmer, Gallic climes. And so the master moved onwards, and hopefully upwards, opening his very own bist...Read This Article
Good Food And Open Fires (2008)
One thing that is guaranteed to make you smile on entering a restaurant or pub dining room is the sight and the feel of an open fire, warming the cockles of your heart, if not the ones on your plate. So we've drawn up a 'hot' list of Yorkshire venues with some of the warmest welc...Read This Article
The Pax (2007)
It may seem incongruous but there is a super Thai restaurant decked out in traditional style in the otherwise very traditional surroundings of The Pax Inn, Thorp Arch. But this is an incongruity worth a mention. This is an interesting experiment in that its Irish owner George Wak...Read This Article
Good Bars, Good Restaurants (2007)
Part of the pleasure of a good meal out is the quality of the experience immediately before - and perhaps after - the meal. Indeed, whether you've drooling in anticipation over the food to come or you're really only there for the beer, the wine or perhaps a leisurely cocktail, a ...Read This Article
The Gray Ox (2007)
What a great little find. As you speed along past junction 25 of the M62, who would imagine that little more than a stone's throw away is a lovely pub that boasts wonderful food and wine and a great selection of beer. But the Gray Ox, in the apparently isolated hamlet of Hartshea...Read This Article
The Cheese Course (2007)
For many diners, the best way to end a meal is to indulge in some cheese -- traditionally taken with port, but largely in recent times with coffee, wine or even beer. And whereas a restaurant would once served up a ubiquitous selection of Stilton, Red Leicester, Wensleydale and C...Read This Article
The Beehive (2007)
There’s a buzz in the air in the picturesque village of Thorner. A transformation has taken place. What was The Beehive pub -- rich in memories but arguably poor on redeeming features -- is now a smart restaurant. It’s struck a balance of informality and sophisticatio...Read This Article
Where To Wine & Dine In Yorkshire (2007)
You can generally pick out a good restaurant from its bins. . . the wine bins that is. The theory being that if the restaurant knows and cares about the wine that they serve, they're likely to place just as much emphasis on the quality of the food being prepared -- and everything...Read This Article
The Restaurant Bar & Grill (2006)
One doesn't come here anymore to hand good money over for pieces of paper or even foreign currency, neither to drop off your snail mail. The old post office is no more. Long live The Old Post Office! -- But now in the form of The Restaurant Bar & Grill, the latest opening in the ...Read This Article
Dining Out In Bradford (2006)
Bradford is not known for its gastro scene, other than the obvious plethora of curry houses that have sprung up from a now long-established immigrant Asian population. But looking beyond the Indian restaurant scene - which contains some real gems - Bradford's dining options are u...Read This Article
Lockwoods (2006)
Things are changing in sleepy Ripon thanks to the likes of young but talented chef Matt Lockwood. And not before time. Matt acknowledges that he himself held back from opening some years ago, feeling the timing wasn't quite right. Now he sees it differently, and has jumped in whi...Read This Article
Yorkshire's Culinary Stars (2006)
For the dedicated foodie, the Michelin guide is the last word when it comes to quality dining. We might not take the annual release of the new Michelin listings quite as seriously as the French - where it can quite literally be a life-and-death affair for restaurateurs - but it d...Read This Article
Salvo's (2006)
It's 30 years old and still going strong. Salvo's -- Headingley's favourite Italian (if not Leeds') -- just goes from strength to strength. But it's certainly not stuck in a time warp as it's been through several upgrades since its 1976 beginnings. Most recently, it opened the fi...Read This Article
A Room With A View (2006)
A great dining experience amounts to more than just the food and drink. It encompasses the service, the atmosphere, the decor and the ambience, not to mention the company you're with. And if you're lucky, the icing on the cake is being seated at a table with a fantastic view. ...Read This Article
