Highlights

The price is £75 per person based on a minimum of 4 participants. If fewer than 4 people are booked when you reserve, a small group supplement of £30 pp may apply. However, this supplement will be fully refunded if the final group size reaches 4 or more. Take a gentle walk (1.4 miles) around the cultural centre of Harrogate stopping at five independent food and drink establishments to taste some delicious Yorkshire Fare. Starting at 12.45 on a Thursday and 11.30 on a Saturday, the tour takes place over 3 hours. Each stop is carefully chosen for its tasty offerings and its contribution to the local food scene. Your knowledgeable tour guide will tell you all about the history of the town and also about the people behind the businesses, and of course, the food. By the end of the tour you will have eaten the equivalent of a very generous lunch with a walk between courses. You will also have an insight into why Harrogate is one of the happiest places to live in Britain.

  • 5Interesting, indulgent and informative.

    A lovely day taking in the interesting history of Harrogate with some really good food from local suppliers. We found places to eat that we had never noticed before and will return to. We looked at buildings and noticed things that we had never thought to look up and see. All in all, a lovely day with a very pleasant guide.

  • 5Two tours so far and we're sure we'll be back for a third!

    We've now completed two York food tours with Yorkshire Appetite and both have been fantastic afternoons with a couple of different stops on the most recent tour! This weekend we had Kay as a guide and she is so nice, friendly and knowledge! It was lovely to learn some of York's history and have great food (and lots of it) and drinks along the way! Thank you Kay - we wouldn't hesitate to recommend and we're sure that we'll be joining you on another tour soon!

  • 5Beautiful Harrogate

    What an amazing tour of Harrogate! . Kay, our lovely guide showed us around telling us historical and fun facts about this beautiful town. The places she chose to stop for food and drinks were a great mix and it was lovely to support small businesses. We were part of a fun group of people and the sun was shining so it was a very pleasant way to spend a few hours! We would definitely recommend this tour.

  • 5Great experience!

    Would thoroughly recommend. Great mix of good and information about Harrogate with a lovely group of people. Kay got the perfect balance between the food, the tour and the information. Great to see parts of Harrogate we’d never seen before and to try dishes from independent businesses. Thank you!

  • 5The best way to get to know Harrogate

    We were delighted to be guided around the Harrogate food scene by Kay. A really great mix of genuinely local and excellent food and some really great insights into the history of the establishments and of Harrogate as a whole. A really great way to get to know Harrogate. As a side note we're currently back in one of the restaurants for dinner as we enjoyed it so much.

  • 5Lovely educational tasting tour

    Really enjoyed today’s tour of Harrogate with our guide Kay who was very informative and introduced us to x5 different excellent venues and dishes. We will definitely be visiting them again. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone considering it. Never felt rushed and it was very well organised and well paced.

About Leeds

Leeds is West Yorkshire's big city, a Victorian centre of arcades and markets with galleries, a waterfront and the Yorkshire Dales within reach.

Leeds grew in the nineteenth century on wool, cloth and engineering, and its Victorian centre shows it in the grand Town Hall, the oval Corn Exchange and the glass-roofed shopping arcades of the Victoria Quarter. Kirkgate Market is one of the biggest covered markets in Europe, and it is where Michael Marks first set up the penny bazaar that grew into a national retailer.
