From award-winning spirits to the best of British dining – here’s the latest Yorkshire foodie news.
Best of Booths
Whether it’s a birthday buffet, a family feast or just an excuse to get together, Booths’ Food to Order service has you covered for every occasion. Using trusted suppliers and family-run businesses so you receive the same great quality food for your special occasion as you would in store, find everything from tasty sandwich platters to traditional afternoon teas and celebration cakes, as well as a selection of products perfect for gift giving.
Season’s Best
This small independent restaurant in the heart of Brighouse is run by Lauren and Greg, who met working in the restaurant industry and have since combined their experiences and their travels to offer a modern British dining experience in their relaxed restaurant, Brook’s. Seasonality is the name of the game here with regularly-changing dishes accompanied by a good selection of natural wines, fine ciders and their classic cocktails.
Summer Suppers
For scrumptious fish and chips look no further than Bizzie Lizzies. With three generations now working hard to ensure they remain Skipton’s favourite by constantly tweaking their recipes and adding to their menu, it’s no wonder this family-run business is award winning. For a delicious summer supper, try their classic fish and chips, or order one of their gluten- or dairy-free dishes, or sample their vegan and pescatarian menu.
Best of British
Celebrating exceptional British produce and seasonal ingredients, Samsons is a new, relaxed all-day restaurant in the heart of Harrogate. Find small plates such as shredded Thirkleby duck crumpet, wild garlic and samphire tart and grilled mussels on toast, or order large plates such as Cornish hake or roast lamb rump – the desserts have caught our eye too, especially the cherry blossom parfait.
BEER WITH DEER
On selected dates throughout summer, on the Swinton Estate, enjoy local Masham beer and fabulous wood-fired pizza or sample from the barbecue and pig roast menus at the beautiful Deer House overlooking Swinton Park. This unique al fresco drinking and dining experience is perfect for summer days soaking up the atmosphere – especially when accompanied by great live music.

Based in Harrogate, Slingsby create their award-winning spirit with their London Dry Gin as a base, locally-sourced fruits and botanicals, and infusions of Yorkshire rhubarb from the famous Rhubarb Triangle.
