8. Indulge in
culinary creations
Oldstead
Gourmet grub is plentiful in Yorkshire,
meaning you never have to look far for
something good to eat. The Michelinstarred
Black Swan at Oldstead, for
example, is a top-notch fine-dining
restaurant in a tiny village on the edge of
the North York Moors. It’s been owned and
run by the Banks family since its inception
and its head chef, Tommy Banks, also has a
sister restaurant, Roots, in York. The tasting
menu changes based on what’s available
in the garden or can be foraged. Expect
plates like scallops with squash and bacon,
and damson brandy treacle tart, all washed
down with a plum sangria.
