Recommended Places To Eat
It is probably no surprise that the glorious County of North Yorkshire is often referred to as ‘God’s Own County’. - Offering such a rich and abundant source of food for both the land and the sea. Behind the patchwork of soft grey dry stone walls, cattle and sheep graze on the rich grass pastures. And the fields of crops define the stunning landscape. This is where you will find the very best of local foods, produce and ingredients. - A mouth-watering and bountiful array of produce that will give you a very special Taste of North Yorkshire.
We have provided a list of recommended places to eat in and around Carr House Farm. We are happy to make reservations for you. We appreciate the value and goodness of locally produced food. Anna was brought up with knowledge and recipes from her two grandmothers who were good cooks. Always baking and making country food. Using fruits from the orchards and hedgerows to make jams and preserves. Raiding her fathers garden for vegetables to make chutneys and pickles. Always remembered - Peter Caselli who came from the Italian countryside famous for making cheese, a dear friend and butcher was a great mentor to Anna when it came to how to cook. Not only for succulent meats but having great knowledge of herbs,mushrooms and olive oil. Dandelion leaves and other hedgerow secrets long before the celebrity chefs can to light,

The Magpie Cafe
If you have a trip to the coast try Whitby’s Magpie Cafe for delicious seafood. Rick Stein rates this as the best fish and chip you can get. It has such a varied and mouthwatering menu. You will be spoilt for choice. The salt and pepper squid is tops for me with a Caribbean salad. Bread and butter served with strawberry jam is a quirky twist to have with the Fortunes kippers that are on offer. Fortunes have been smoking kippers in Whitby for over 137 years. It is in an ideal situation near the fish market. Enjoy a good view of the harbour and Whitby Abbey. Ian Robson and his team take this to perfection.
