Eating in Pickering

Lucky you! When you stay at Bramwood you’ll discover that Pickering is one of the major stars in the gastronomic universe! Well, we exaggerate slightly perhaps, but there are certainly a good variety of excellent pubs, cafés and restaurants to suit all pockets and tastes – and all within a very short walk, too. We are always happy to advise you on suitable choices, and we keep a selection of menus. Please note that some restaurants, especially the smaller, family-run ones, may take last orders at around 8.30pm. And it may be advisable to book, especially during busy periods. We’ll be happy to do this for you. Let’s start with some of our favourites, but we must stress that there are plenty of others, too.
