Whether you’re craving delicious, fresh produce, a thirst-quenching pint of real ale or fine dining, when it comes to food and drink, you’re spoilt for choice in Yorkshire. Some of the country’s best-loved brands hail from our fantastic county, like Yorkshire Tea and Wensleydale Cheese, so to help you navigate your way through our delicious delicacies and inspire your next gastronomic adventure, we’ve created this tasty trail. It is the perfect companion for a culinary journey through Yorkshire. Sir Gary Verity Chief Executive Welcome to Yorkshire
Yorkshire is home to some of our finest farm land and food producers, from forced rhubarb and Wensleydale cheese, to afternoon tea, pub lunches and Michelin star dining. This year’s ‘Tour de Yorkshire’ will also celebrate food, and ensure that the millions of visitors who come to follow the race or retrace the route can experience the best tastes that Yorkshire has to offer. With Welcome to Yorkshire, we have created the first edible journey around Britain to showcase foods from across Yorkshire including delicious dining within beautiful National Parks. We have more planned to champion our proud food heritage and boost investment and jobs in food tourism across Britain. Elizabeth Truss Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Part of 2016 – Year of Great British Food www.greatbritishfoodcampaign.com @GreatBritishFood #GreatBritishFood2016
Three EU schemes exist to promote and protect names of quality agricultural products and foodstuffs. This regulation protects the reputation of regional foods, and promotes rural and agricultural activity. Yorkshire is home to three protected foodstuffs – when you buy these items you can be assured of their quality and taste. Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese has been handcrafted in Wensleydale in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales since 1150, when Cistercian monks first brought their skills and recipes to the area. The cheese has a firm, crumbly texture with a mild, clean, slightly sweet flavour and honeyed aftertaste. Pay a visit to Wensleydale Creamery to explore the museum and see the cheese being made.
Swaledale Cheese Swaledale Cheese is a full fat hard cheese with a soft crumbly texture. The cheese is produced entirely in Swaledale, North Yorkshire, and the cow’s milk from which is it produced comes from the same area. The pastures on which the cows graze consist of herbs and grasses characteristic to the area due to the soil and climate. Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb The Rhubarb Triangle is a ninesquare-mile triangle between Leeds, Wakefield and Bradford famous for producing early forced rhubarb. West Yorkshire once produced 90% of the world’s winter forced rhubarb. Wakefield Council now holds an annual Rhubarb Festival in February, celebrating the area’s links and promoting the surviving industry.
Welcome to Yorkshire is thrilled to host the Tour de Yorkshire, now in its second year. Holding a 2.1 European Tour UCI classification, the inaugural race attracted some of the world’s best cyclists including Sir Bradley Wiggins and Marcel Kittel. But Yorkshire isn’t just about wheels and Wiggins. The county boasts a fantastic food offering, from farm shops to fish and chips, breweries to butchers. Here we take a look at the food hot spots along the 3 stages of this year’s Tour de Yorkshire, as well as exploring the fabulous produce that Yorkshire is famed for across the county. We hope you enjoy exploring our tasty new trail, which has all the right ingredients for a great visit.
From historic breweries with coppers gleaming under oak-timbered ceilings and mystic brews frothing in antique stone ‘squares’, to microbreweries with state-of-the-art stainless steel, today’s dedicated Yorkshire brewers are busily producing hundreds of varieties of real ale for you to enjoy! Those in search of a beer break in Yorkshire would be wise to head to one of our region’s breweries, where we have plenty to choose from.
DENBY DALE PIE The village of Denby Dale is the UK’s only designated “Pie Village” and has been making gigantic pies since the 1700s spreading the name of the village and the county worldwide. LIQUORICE The Liquorice plant was brought to Pontefract by the Dominican Monks in the early 16th century. The production of liquorice products continues in Pontefract, the most well known being Pontefract Cakes - invented in the town by chemist George Dunhill in the 18th century. MICHELIN STARRED RESTAURANTS Yorkshire is proud to be home to the largest number of Michelin Starred restaurants than any other county in England outside of London. Three of these are featured in this trail, but don’t forget to explore the rest of Yorkshire to discover the whole collection of gastronomical delights on offer. FISH AND CHIPS Another British favourite, fish and chips, can be enjoyed at all of Yorkshire’s stunning seaside resorts with miles of sandy beaches, glittering seas and fantastic fresh air. The Yorkshire Coast is the perfect place to enjoy a fish and chip supper. CURRY With its vibrant Asian community, historic and contemporary curry houses, Bradford has been crowned Curry Capital of Britain four times. The city hosts the World Curry Festival every year, an exciting celebration of one of Britain’s favourite dishes. YORKSHIRE TEA Afternoon Tea doesn’t come any more traditional than at Betty’s tearooms. Originally opened in Harrogate a century ago, there is now a Betty’s at six locations across Yorkshire, There’s also a choice of 50 different beverages including varieties from Bettys’ sister company, Yorkshire Tea, Britain’s favourite tea.
