Top 10 Food & Drink in York, England

January 30, 2022 Fernanda Pittenger

Just two hours north of London by rail, the city of York holds 1900 years' worth of history in its ancient walls. The Romans built the city in 71 AD, and the Vikings captured it in 866 AD. Stop by the Yorkshire Museum and Gardens for a look at what the Roman and Vikings left behind (they must have packed light when they left). From there, move on to the York Castle Museum for a not-so-quick overview of the most recent 400 years.

We spent half a day learning to cook Thai Street Food. The place was very Covid safe at all times. The chef was extremely knowledgeable about Thai cooking and the food we made was very authentic. We will definitely return to do a different course at some point and would thoroughly recommend a visit to anyone. I quite like the look of the knife skills course next......

I had an unforgettable experience at Sharmini's Inspirational Indian Cuisine at the Yorkshire Wolds Cookery School. Sharmini lived up to the title - she was truly inspirational! The day started off with a hands (and nose!) -on introduction to spices which was informative and fun. The cookery workshop which followed was excellent. We learned how to prepare and cook an impressive array of dishes and Sharmini created a very relaxed and informal atmosphere. The Yorkshire Wolds Cooking School is also very impressive and provided a state of the art environment with individual work stations and equipment to hand. Sharmini demonstrated each step of the preparation before we were let loose on the ingredients. Dishes ranged from Butter Chicken (Murg Makhani) to Lamb Jalfrezi and onion pakoras to desserts like Carrot Halwa (which was delicious!) , plus side dishes. Somehow we managed to fit in time to have an enjoyable lunch and chat too! Sharmini was so good at explaining techniques, how to produce perfect rice as well as explaining a bit about the history of dishes and ingredients, what the names meant and how and when they were enjoyed in India. It was a truly authentic experience as Sharmini is not only an experienced tutor and teacher, she has also always cooked traditional Indian food for her own family. The dishes I cooked received an enthusiastic response from my own family. I have used the recipes many times since at family events and dinners when guests are always suitably impressed. I can also heartily recommend Sharmini's excellent cookery book: Sharmini's Inspirational Indian Cuisine which has clear recipes that are easy to follow and wonderful photos.

A trip to The Grand is always a luxurious experience. My trip to their Cookery School was eagerly anticipated and it lived up to my expectations. My friend and I watched Andrew cook perfect steak and chips, then were able to recreate the meal ourselves using his recipes. We were then able to enjoy our meal with a glass of wine. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I would love to return.

Received a voucher as a Christmas present and had a thoroughly enjoyable morning at this delightful vineyard. Fascinating and informative tour by our passionate, dedicated and engaging host, followed by wine tasting and accompanying snacks. Would also highly recommend the light lunch option, which catered well for us as vegetarians. The Covid infection control measures were also of a high standard and we felt safe and comfortable throughout.
