The Magpie Café
If you’re looking for fish & chips, there’s only one place for it! Locally known as “the best fish and chips in Yorkshire”, The Magpie Cafe is so good that even on cold winter days you’ll find a queue of people eager to taste the iconic English delicacy.
The menu features all the classic orders such as haddock and cod, but also favourites including fresh mussels or fish pie. You can either sit in the café, or head to the takeaway next door if you prefer to eat on-the-go.
Falling Foss Tea Garden
In an absolutely exquisite setting surrounded by a waterfall and forest, Falling Foss Tea Garden is the perfect quaint spot to grab a bite to eat. Self described as a rustic, outdoor setting and “picnic tables and wellington boots rather than fine china and linen tablecloths”, you’ll find simple classics here, from freshly baked scones with lashings of jam and cream, delicious homemade cakes and savoury pastries.
Cosa Nostra
Located in a spectacular grade II listed building, Cosa Nostra offers a menu of delicious Italian cuisine using fresh ingredients and high-quality produce that is locally sourced.
