Source York

I’m an ex-vegetarian and still favour veggie meals a lot of the time – I think they can often be more creative and interesting than their meaty counterparts as there are no (admittedly delicious) meat flavours to fall back on. DanMan however, although a lover of many a meatless dish, loves to tuck into steaks […]

Cosy Club, York

I’ve been desperate to give Cosy Club a visit ever since it opened a couple of months or so ago; it’s exactly my kind of food, all the cocktails sound amazing and it couldn’t be in a more incredible building. But alas, every time Danman and I plan a meal and I suggest this place, […]

Lime House, York

Last week was mine and DanMan’s five year anniversary, an event I look forward to every year for the sole reason that it means we have an excuse to go to a fancy restaurant and then get drunk on cocktails (although, frankly, I’m thinking more and more that the only excuse you should need to […]

Millfield Beefeater, York

I’m always looking for excuses to try out new places to eat/drink/nosey around/generally have a nice time in York, so when the lovely people at Beefeater invited me to come and experience their newly refurbished Millfield restaurant, I was more than happy to pop along. So on Sunday we made our way to Poppleton fully […]

Missoula, York

We discovered Missoula a couple of years ago when we needed a place for a quick meal, and ended up finding a place that was far nicer than we expected and would end up a regular for us! So when we popped in before a quiz night last Tuesday I thought it was about time […]

The Habit York

I love the idea of going out for breakfast/brunch, but it almost never happens because leaving the house before noon on a weekend is a rare occurrence for us. So this bank holiday when some friends came a-visiting it was the perfect opportunity to sample some of York’s daytime culinary delights, which landed us in […]

Judges Lodging York

I’ve been to Judge’s Lodgings for a drink or two plenty of times, but hadn’t ended up going there to eat until this Friday after seeing their new Spring menu, which looked right up my street. We arrived a little early, so got a drink and sat in the sunny outdoor area attached to the […]

Hotel Indigo: No.88 Walmgate York

All pictures courtesy of Jessica Holmes On Sunday I was lucky enough to tag along with my photographer-extraordinaire gal pal Jess for a meal that she was treated to by Hotel Indigo’s No.88 Walmgate restaurant on the edge of the city. All I knew (from a quick Google) was that the restaurant focuses on Yorkshire […]

Joe’s Kitchen York

After a few winter months of peering into the warm and cosy-looking interior of Joe’s Kitchen on Coney Street when out shopping in the rain, my DanMan and I finally made it out for a meal there this Saturday. We hadn’t booked but luckily that wasn’t a problem and we were seated towards the back […]

York’s Hidden Gems

When you’re looking for things to do in York and places to go, it can seem a bit overwhelming! York is choc full of hidden gems, due in no small part to the fact that it can be so tricky to navigate if you’re not familiar with it that literally everything seems hidden. So to help […]
