Places to Eat in North York Moors

Eating out around the North York Moors ranges from stone-built inns tucked into dales villages to more ambitious kitchens making the most of local game, seafood landed along the coast, and produce from the surrounding farms. Market towns and moorland villages tend to have at least one good pub serving proper meals alongside the pints, and these are often the best bet after a day's walking.

Choice widens considerably where the moors meet larger towns, with wine bars, curry houses and neighbourhood restaurants sitting alongside traditional pub dining. Booking ahead is worthwhile at the smaller, well-regarded places, particularly at weekends when both locals and visitors are competing for tables.
