About Yorkshire Appetite Food Tours
Great food. Great destinations. Great independent eateries. After her first food tour in Chicago, our Founder, Kay Atkinson (pictured on the right with one of our guides, Jill), knew one would work well in Yorkshire.
She launched Yorkshire Appetite Food Tours in 2017 with our Harrogate tour. At first, Kay was our only guide. Over the years, we’ve grown and now have a team of guides across Yorkshire.
They’ll act as your food ambassador for the day, share local stories and make sure you’re well fed.

What people say about our food tours
EXCELLENT Based on 348 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor randjjVerified Excellent food tour York food tour started at 12 pm where we met Sara or tour guide, she was very friendly and started by giving us some of York's history. We start off at a cheese and wine venue followed by a Syrian mezze, then on to a brewery and food pub and finished at a restaurant for a sticky toffee pudding and a drink. All the venues were independent no chains, our tour lasted over three hours because we had a big friendly group, we would definitely do it again. many thanks to Sara for a great afternoon.Posted on Tripadvisor KarenSVerified York Food Tour My husband and I were gifted this for a birthday treat and what a treat it was. Joined by 2 other lovely couples we were taken to 4 very different food venues over a 3 hour period. A Syrian starter, main course at a local brewery, a fantastic sticky toffee pudding desert and finished off with a cheese and wine pairing. Jill was a great host, very knowledgable. A lovely way to spend an afternoon in York.Posted on Tripadvisor Ben MVerified The 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.

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.Posted on Tripadvisor Kate CVerified Snacks, strolling and learning with the lovely Jill Amazing walking food tour with Jill. This was our second walking tour (the last was in York) but this time we had a private tour which was well worth the £50 supplement charge. Tried a variety of new food that neither of us had tried before. Great selection of venues and incredible local history knowledge. Would highly recommend to anyone that enjoys food, history and good company.Posted on Tripadvisor Glenn NVerified Wonderful experience, We didn’t really know what to expect as neither my wife or myself had ever done a walking food tour. What an absolute success it turned out to be. By the time we’d had 5 separate stops we were both stuffed with wonderful food. Thank you Jill you exceeded our expectations and would absolutely recommend this tour.Posted on Tripadvisor Dean HVerified Great day out - A must try! What a day, great food, a fantastic guide and we also met some lovely people at the same time. Perfect little day out and exceeded expectations by some way! Thank you KayPosted on Tripadvisor Christine OVerified Harrogate Food Tour 2025 UK My sister and I had a wonderful lunch food tour experience in Harrogate. Our Host was Marieanne a local lady. Marieanne took us to to five incredible historic building run by local eateries. Every quality dish was carefully selected for us. She pointed out many historical building and went out of her way to personalize our 3 plus hours together. One of my favorite stops was the Ice-cream business. The owner gave us a very interesting insights how he makes his ice cream and what the difference in mass production makes on the final product. The walk through the Valley Gardens was beautiful. We highly recommend this tour.
