Top Yorkshire Dining Experiences

Unwind while sightseeing on a relaxing River Ouse cruise, combining York’s historic views with a classic British meal. As you glide past the city’s landmarks and scenic riverbanks, enjoy live commentary from the captain and traditional fish and chips from an award-winning local shop. And don't worry about bathroom breaks—there's a toilet on board.

Explore the culinary side of Leeds—and skip the hassle of making restaurant reservations—on this tour of the city’s Indian food scene, with stops at four different eateries and all tastings included. Sample traditional dishes such as pakora, dosa, and kulfi, try flavors you may not be familiar with, and hear the story behind different ingredients and cooking techniques.

Yorkshire's countryside is at its best away from the roads, along the quiet canals you can't reach on foot. This cruise takes you out onto the water with a traditional Yorkshire afternoon tea served on board—sandwiches, scones, and desserts—as the barge moves through the countryside.

A meal out and a look at the Yorkshire countryside usually mean doing two separate things. This canal cruise from Skipton rolls them into one, serving a roast dinner aboard a traditional barge as the countryside and canalside drift past from the water. A bar on board sells soft and alcoholic drinks, and the route passes points of local history along the way, including the Polish Airmen Memorial marking a wartime bomber crash on the canal bank.
