Did you know that City Cruises do a fish and chip cruise? I have been on many cruises up and down the Ouse over the years but have never done the fish and chip cruise so we were quite excited to be asked to go along and try it. The…
We live very close to Millington and have visited The Gait Inn many times over the years. It’s a lovely country pub in a stunning location. It’s perfect for Sunday Lunch or the pub at the end of the walk through Millington Pastures or Millington Woods. It’s lovely inside too…
I don’t know if you know Millington? It’s a tiny picturesque village up on the Yorkshire Wolds. For such a small place it packs a punch regarding hospitality as it has both a pub and a tea rooms. We don’t live far from Millington so last weekend when we had…
Paint-by-numbers projects offer adults a unique blend of art therapy and mental exercise. This activity, while seemingly simple, encourages individuals to engage in a structured yet freeing creative process.

We recently tried out the Cicchetti Lounge on Low Petergate. It’s right next door to La Vecchia Scuola Italian Restaurant and is part of the same group. They run a ‘Two Courses for £17.95’ deal which is pretty good value BUT I managed to pick up a Groupon that…

If you are looking for a country pub for Sunday dinner, afternoon tea or even just a regular lunch then I think The Drover’s Arms at Skipwith would be perfect for you. They have recently spent a fortune (£150k!) refurbishing. I hadn’t visited previously so can’t compare, but I can…
We are so very lucky in York to have some amazing theatres offering all sorts of different styles of entertainment. Last night we went along to the The Grand Opera House to the press night of Sister Act. It’s a musical based on the film of the same name that…
