SPARK: York

FOR A SWEET TREAT We couldn’t make a guide to York without mentioning Bettys Café Tearooms. It may not be cheap, but the famous tea room has been open since 1936 and serves some of the best sweet treats in York. Their Yorkshire curd tart with clotted cream is something everyone should experience when in Yorkshire.

FOR ICE-CREAM Licc serves delicious ice cream in a quaint shop filled with bunting, balloons, sweets and gifts. Prefer ice cream with a twist? Try The [N]ice Cream Factory on Fossgate. They offer a range of flavours and every scoop is made fresh in front of you with the help of liquid nitrogen. It’s an experience you won’t forget! Ice Cream Rescue is based in the Museum Gardens and is the perfect place to get your ice cream before lounging in the sun. They also have dairy free options. FOR STREET FOOD SPARK: York is an urban construction of shipping containers which offer an ever changing array of international cuisines all in one place. The Shambles Food Market also has a vast array of cuisines based right behind the famous shopping street.

FOR A PUB LUNCH In York there are so many places to choose from when it comes to pub grub, but Eagle & Child is our favourite. Their menu of traditional pub food often incorporates their Leeds Brewery ales in their dishes.

FOR PIZZA The Hop is perfect for pizza lovers. Eat their generously sized, wood fired pizzas under a large glass roofed atrium whilst listening to live music. FOR QUIRKY DECOR Plush Café has some of the most instagrammable food and decor in York. This family run café has 3 beautifully decorated themed rooms: the Garden Room, the Neon Room and the Bohemian Room.

FOR MEAT FREE Döner Summer is a stylish vegan restaurant serving junk food and summer drinks. With seating inside and a large outdoor heated garden, this is a place to visit all year round.
