Inspired by the seasons and the tastes from their countryside upbringings, the owners of Brew & Brownie serve a menu of sweet and savoury treats plus premium coffees and loose leaf teas."

I must have sampled about 4 of them during my time in York, and even stopped by before I caught the train home so that I could enjoy a little treat on the journey!.

While grabbing a table at Betty’s can often see you queuing for quite sometime (make sure to arrive much earlier than you anticipate on eating!); once inside, you’ll truly be spoiled for choice with the vast range of delicious lunch options available. I’d recommend: traditional afternoon tea, red pepper frittata or the Caesar salad."

Owner/chef Andrew Burton learned his trade in some of Britain’s best kitchens, including North Yorkshire’s renowned Star Inn, and he brings a similar rigour to Mannion & Co’s more modest menu of cheese and charcuterie platters, gourmet sandwiches and daily hot specials, such as eggs Benedict, rarebit or, more adventurously, Alsace bacon and boudin noir with fried eggs and toast."

Excavations under an old sweet factory between 1979 and 1981 unearthed numerous Viking artefacts and the remains of 10th century Viking buildings preserved within particularly spongy earth."

"York Archaeological Trust conducted several excavations in Central York and found objects and remains over thousand years old. The dig had lasted 5 long years and managed to unearth around 40,000 well preserved remains of wooden structures from the Viking City of Jorvik. These included animal pens, workshops, fences and wells."
