Best French Bakery in Pickering

"The Magpie might be famous for its fish and chips (and have the queues to prove it), but they do a belting menu of other fish dishes that deserve a shout out. In fact, the menu is something of an epic tome that really warrants some quality time spent on it. Make life easier on yourself and choose the seafood taster for a bit of everything, including oysters, clams, mussels, crab, scallops, prawns and half a lobster to top things off."

"The Magpie flaunts its reputation for serving the 'World's Best Fish and Chips'. Damn fine they are too, but the world and his dog knows about it and summertime queues can stretch along the street."

"Unsurprisingly it’s near to the train station and on our visit the clientele had a mix of regulars who were settled down for the evening and tourists nipping in for a few. The cask selection was good, and they also have their own house brew made by Whitby Brewery, Platform 3. There’s a few rooms; we settled ourselves in one near the front with a cosy open fire and had a few games of darts."

"Whilst, as mentioned, Whitby is probably most famous as a traditional seaside holiday destination, it is also worth highlighting the fact that the town is home to a mini-industry all of its own – that of ‘jet’ jewellery. Jet, a kind of fossilised wood which takes millions of years to form, is found in various places around the world but the common consensus is that the highest quality examples of the material have always been found in the cliffs surrounding Whitby. Although it has been used to create jewellery and ornaments for many centuries, the Victorian era was when the popularity of jet reached its high point, even becoming favoured by Queen Victoria herself."

"While Whitby is famous for its jet, it is no surprise you will find plenty of shops selling the gemstone in a variety of forms and shapes. However, the unexpected combination of a jewellery business with its own tea room will definitely surprise more than a few. This is however what you get at W Hamond Tea Room."

"16/06/2021: Sausages rolls are simply wonderful, best I’ve tasted. Centrally located and busy too, friendly staff and great prices too. 15/06/2021: Yesterday, 14.06.21 we stopped here en route to Whitby."

"One of the oldest cafes in town (established in 1880) with a mature clientele to match, the food at Bonnet's is nothing to write home about but the handmade chocolates at the front of the shop are delicious."

"I loved this pub, and if there was more beer choice I could’ve spent a while inside. It was cosy, friendly and had very nice bar staff with locals and tourists alike were made to feel welcome as soon as they walked in. There’s plenty of board games, pool and a couple of darts boards and it was lovely and warm after the bitter cold outside."

"Next we made our way up the hill to Scarborough Castle. This medieval keep is in a commanding location, it would have been a spectacle to behold and easy to defend. The castle is mostly ruined now, but it is great to walk around and learn about the 3000 year history of the site."

"Wonderful views of the bay, informative guides and very helpful staff. Lots of space to walk around and have a picnic or food from the tea room. There is a good cafe on the site with plenty of choice."

"Stately homes may be two a penny in England, but you'll have to try pretty damn hard to find one as breathtakingly stately as Castle Howard, a work of theatrical grandeur and audacity set in the rolling Howardian Hills. This is one of the world's most beautiful buildings, instantly recognisable from its starring role in the 1980s TV series Brideshead Revisited and in the 2008 film of the same name (both based on Evelyn Waugh's 1945 novel of nostalgia for the English aristocracy)."

"Standing in the Howardian Hills to the west of Malton, Castle Howard is an outstanding example of English baroque, with a distinctive…"

"One of the more beautiful churches in Scarborough, St Martins is filled with gorgeous stained glass windows with designs from celebrated artists including William Morris, Sir Edward Burne-Jones and Dane Gabriel Rosetti."

"The restaurant at Harry’s boasts panoramic views of the port of Whitby and has an excellent reputation. All the meat served is sourced from local butchers and their fish comes from the best daily catches from the fishing boats in the area. Everything is freshly prepared and they offer a unique concept with their Starter Menu which allows you to sample various starter-sized dishes to enjoy alone or to share with friends."

"Yorkshire black pudding, steamed halibut on spinach, rump steak served on ‘the stone"… are you salivating yet? You can find out for yourself how the rest of the menu goes if you book a room Harrys Lounge. Find out what 'the stone" is while you’re there. The restaurant-bar is also a bread and breakfast. Harrys is a local landmark and for good reason."

"Moutreys is a family-friendly Italian restaurant located on Grape Lane, just across from the Captain Cook Memorial Museum. They’ve been serving good quality Italian cuisine for a number of years from their open plan kitchen and their menu includes a superb selection of pasta, meat, fish and vegetarian dishes in addition to their popular wood-fired pizzas. They offer smaller portions for children and senior citizens and their prices are reasonable."

"This cosy restaurant serves up delicious Italian dishes, made with freshly caught seafood and the finest ingredients. Tuck into classics such as spaghetti carbonara, wood-fired pizzas and lasagne before treating yourself to a zesty sorbet or creamy panna cotta.
