Yorkshire is known for hearty food, though bacon-based breakfasts and lunches of pork pies do tend to pale fairly quickly. Increasingly, the larger towns and cities, particularly Leeds, have developed a foodie scene of sorts. Indian restaurants (often called curry houses) can be very good in northern cities. Out in the countryside, pubs are your best bet for dining. Many serve excellent home-cooked food and locally reared meat (especially lamb) and vegetables. Roast beef dinners generally come with Yorkshire pudding, the tasty, puffy, oven-baked dish made from egg batter known as a popover in the United States. It's generally served with lots of gravy. Be sure to sample local cheeses, especially Wensleydale, which has a delicate flavor and honey aftertaste.
Perfectly positioned at the bottom of the village, this friendly retreat dating back to 1828 looks out from atop a seawall to dramatic views of the North Sea (if you can get a coveted window table), with a warming open fire in winter and sunny terrace in summer. The reasonably priced menu leans towards well-prepared traditional pub grub, fresh fish and chips, and shellfish like Whitby scampi or crab and lemon salad. There are three B&B rooms upstairs.
The Dock, Robin Hood's Bay, North Yorkshire, YO22 4SJ, England
Modern and buzzy, with friendly service and tasty food, this brasserie in a converted grain warehouse has two dining rooms, one with wood tables and terra-cotta walls, the other more formal, with white tablecloths. The seasonally changing menu includes elegant main courses like portobello mushroom stuffed with goat cheese and nuts on a butternut squash and wild mushroom risotto. Arched windows overlook the river in both dining areas, and in summer there's a deck for alfresco dining. There's also a special gluten-free menu.
This 16th-century building with two magnificent stone fireplaces is now a welcoming pub, and the friendly and efficient service gets high marks. The menu is full of hearty old favorites, with mains like steak and ale pie or grilled chicken breast with bacon, melted cheese, and BBQ sauce, plus an assortment of salads, burgers, and homemade kebabs. Craft beers (called "real ales" in Britain) are a specialty, and there are two B&B rooms upstairs if you wish to stay the night.
This cozy inn in an 18th-century building on the outskirts of an unspoiled country village is traditional but not fussy, with open fireplaces, original oak beams, and windows that look out to panoramic views of the Dales. The food, which incorporates local ingredients whenever possible, offers similar traditional comforts. Main courses include confit duck leg with a black pudding mash and slow-braised lamb shank with root vegetables as well as traditional pub grub like homemade puff pastry-topped meat, fish pies, and a curry of the day. The craft beer selection is outstanding. The inn's six rooms are simple but comfortable. Just to confuse things, there's a Shoulder of Mutton pub in Middleton Tyas, also outside Richmond, that serves highly regarded pub food, and another one near Harrogate.
This handsome pub combines a cozy traditional wood-paneled bar with a restaurant in a contemporary glass-and-steel extension that specializes in traditional Yorkshire cooking. Using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, options might include a beetroot and vegan black pudding Wellington; fish pie with locally caught salmon, cod, and monkfish; or slow-cooked pork belly with curried sweet potato. There's also a good-value two-course lunchtime and early bird set menu (£19.50).
Back La., Moulton, North Yorkshire, DL10 6QJ, England
Originally a watering hole for foundry workers, this lovely old inn is now a welcoming gastropub, with industrial-chic exposed brick, wood beams, flagstone floors, and open fireplaces. The food is unfussy and reliably good, noted for its use of fresh, local ingredients. The menu, which changes daily, inclines toward old favorites done right, like beer-battered haddock with triple-cooked fries or a pan-fried sea trout with butter sauce, samphire, and spring onion potatoes. In summer, you can sit in a sunny courtyard with a glass from the varied wine list or a pint of local ale. Best of all, the prices make it a good value.
With its oak-paneled, candlelit dining room and open fires, this traditional inn is an inviting rural dining spot. Old favorites with locally sourced ingredients such as sausage and mash, crispy pork belly, and traditional Sunday roasts are served with fresh vegetables from the kitchen garden (gluten-free options like a mushroom and Mediterranean vegetables Wellington add a contemporary note). There are also eight comfortable rooms that continue the traditional theme (£125 per night). The inn is 10 miles north of Skipton in the town of Grassington.
27 Main St., Grassington, North Yorkshire, BD23 5AD, England
Claiming to date to 1715, this narrow, atmospheric bar in a quiet alley off bustling Briggate retains 19th- and 20th-century features, like beveled mirrors, copper-topped tables, art nouveau stained glass, and mosaic tiles. It serves superior pub food with an emphasis on the local and seasonal, like a spiced cauliflower steak in red pepper sauce or homemade beef in ale pie. Beers from local microbreweries are featured, and the prices are friendly.
