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…
I have to say, the afternoon tea at The Dreamery Gardens was simply exquisite. I know, I am opening with a strong statement, but seriously, just look at these beautiful photographs! We explored the faery gardens first and you can see that review here entry to the gardens are free…

Yesterday we went along to the Old York Tea Room. A good friend of mine had recommended it a little while ago, but this is the first opportunity we have had to go. The tea room is located on Goodramgate in a building that dates back to 1316. We were…
The Old Liquor Store is a brand new restaurant on Bishopthorpe Road in the old Terry’s building. They serve an Italian inspired menu and are open Wednesday to Sunday serving an all day menu and small plates. They also do a Sunday Brunch and Sunday Dinner, as well as specialty…
