Can really recommend this walking food tour - Excellent tour. Kay was very friendly and knowledgeable. The food in each of the stop off venues was wonderful. Could not fault the service. Nothing was too much trouble and it didn't feel rushed which made it a really relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Highly recommend this enjoyable mix of food and history - This was our second food tour, and was really enjoyable. The friendly tour guide provided a good mixture of information about the food, the places we stopped and general Harrogate history. The tour took approx 4 hours, with 5 stops for absolutely yummy food. We started with a brunch dish at the meeting place, then a stop in the centre of Harrogate to talk about the tour, the buildings around us and the city. We then had yorkshire pudding with slow-cooked pork in a blues bar, followed by a bit of a walk through Valley Gardens to see some of the springs Harrogate is famous for. (We needed the walk after the food!) On towards High Harrogate along Cold Bath Road, which is a lovely area - where we were treated to gorgeous patisserie with a hot drink, followed by a tasting session at a handmade icecream shop - where we could then choose a scoop as well! The final stop was a very historic pub in central Harrogate where we had a cheeseboard and a drink. As our tour guide left us there, she made sure we had directions to a sweet shop - though none of us had any space left!
