North Ings – A Robin Hood’s Bay Treat

You could be forgiven for not knowing about this little gem of a place and the fact it has a bijou Tapas and Tearoom. This gorgeous Georgian house has undergone a complete transformation in the last twelve months. The hotel rooms have been completely renovated and the garden and garage turned into the most adorable restaurant and tea room. Everything is done to the highest standard - owners Max and Michael insisted they wanted to create the perfect getaway and somewhere to eat that they would want to visit themselves. Certainly, if you look at their TripAdvisor feedback and scores…

Irton Garden Centre – part of British Garden Centres

Irton Garden Centre has seen significant investment over the last ten years. It has always been known for its extensive range of quality plants and gardening equipment. It’s also a great place to go for those unique little gifts for those ‘hard to buy for’ friends and family members. And the scones were always to die for. The thing is it’s all got so much bigger – more space – more plants – more garden furniture – more water features – more gifts – more seating in the café and more great offers. As you sit in their extended café…

The Marine, Hornsea

The Marine is perfectly situated on Hornsea’s glorious promenade and offers all the reassurance of a national brand but with the personal service of a local pub. Part of the national Greene King pub chain it offers a reassuringly familiar menu - that appeals to all ages, making it particularly great for families. The Marine menu covers everything from the seriously tempting Sunday Lunch menu to a range of classic burgers and pub favourites through to small plates for those just fancying a little nibble. The children’s menu with little and big eats is hugely popular too. There’s a constant…

The White House Inn, Whitby

You’d be forgiven if you’re not so familiar with Whitby if you haven’t come across this little gem of a place before. Just off the mini roundabout as you head towards Sandsend coming out of Whitby. Essentially, it’s the last house on the West Cliff. This prominent building used to be the clubhouse to the Golf Course many moons ago – as this old picture shows. It still has a slight feel of a stylish clubhouse, with its wonderful panoramic views across the golf course and right across the bay towards Sandsend. It certainly takes some beating. The tasteful, modern…

A taste of the Med at Leo’z

Leo has been running the popular restaurant of his name (with a z) Leo’z on Bridlington’s Promenade for over 20 years. Originally from a small village in Turkey, his passion for his local Turkish cuisine and other Mediterranean influences such as Italian and Greek is apparent when you glance at the extensive menu. With over 40 years of culinary experience, Leo has built up a dedicated team here in Brid, including his son Ozan who takes an active part in the running of the business. You can clearly see their passion and dedication to delivering great food to the residents…

Top Show Picks for the Yorkshire Coast

One of the huge advantages for us living on the Yorkshire Coast is the amazing variety of shows and events that we can take advantage of. Although we live in small towns - which anywhere else in the country would be lucky to even have a decent theatre - we can take our pick of great venues. Probably many of us take this variety of entertainment for granted - ok so its mainly just in the summer months but I really do think we have the best of both worlds. We have all the advantages of a small town -…

What is a ‘Traditional Christmas’?

Christmas is a time of traditions. So many of us have grown up with our own individual family's traditions - those little things we feel we have to do every year, even if no one remembers why! Even little traditions like when you open your presents. Is it at the crack of dawn or after dinner? Or do you wait till Boxing Day! I have heard that the longer you wait, the posher you are (we open ours at the crack of dawn, so we're obviously not very posh at all.) The Polish tradition of Wigilia In Polish tradition, the…

When do you ‘deck the halls’?

I'll be honest I've been itching to put the decorations up since bonfire night! But, so far, I've resisted the urge - contenting myself with wandering around the beautiful Christmas displays at country houses and garden centres, making notes and stealing ideas as I go. Who can resist the wonder of Narnia at Castle Howard or the beautifully tasteful displays at Burton Agnes Hall - well, clearly I can't! Garden Centres outdo themselves every year, turning into magical wonderlands with festive events galore to tempt us in. From a Festive Farm Event at Eastfield Garden Centre to the spectacular Santa…

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”

L.M MONTGOMERY - ANNE OF GREEN GABLES I most certainly agree with Lucy Montgomery on this one. I LOVE October! The colours, the crisp, fresh morning sunrises, squelchy muddy walks in wellies, kicking through piles of leaves and cosy fireside evenings. October conjures all these lovely images. Nowadays it is impossible not to forget Halloween. I say nowadays – if, for those of you like me of a certain age, your childhood didn’t contain dressing up in a scary costume and knocking on doors to receive a ton of sweets from your neighbours. For us, the modern-day Halloween ‘tradition’ does…
