As research started for this tour, it was all about food. Where were the best places to eat in York in the most unsuspected places? I then got to know the people behind the foodie stops and the restaurants and I was blown away. Blown away by their passion, their perseverance, their talent, the madness of their trade, the unicity of their offer.
I love bringing you to some of York's best (and most secret) restaurants, having a chat, a laugh, plenty to eat. To this day, I am amazed at everything these 'food entrepreneurs' bring to the table and that is why the Hidden Gems Food Crawl of York exists.
