Some of my favourite stories in York 🤍

I’m very passionate about the power of storytelling on social media - there are countless people in the world that do exactly what you do, the only thing that separates you from them is your face, your personality and your story. I make it my mission in York to help businesses shine a spotlight on their story and allow them to stand out for who they are and what their values are.

What is your favourite York story?

Summer in York looks a lot like this ☀️🍹

We went back to Zest on Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate to try their summer menu and it was soooo delicious 🤤

@zestyork *invite/gifted

The pesto & prosciutto Italian focaccia was my absolute favourite! So fresh and packed with flavour! I’d definitely order this again and again.

We also tried the chicken schnitzel and Cocoa Forest pancakes, with a matcha and smoothie alongside them.

But then came the drinks! 👀 Tell me you know about the drinks!!!

If not then hold your hats!! Zest has 2-for-1 cocktails all day, every day, PLUS Happy Hour from 3-6pm with some seriously tempting cocktail jugs. And there are not your basic stuffed with ice waste of money cocktails!!

We had an Aperol Spritz, a Hugo Spritz and a huge Pineapple Tequila Sunrise jug! Those jugs are an absolute steal.

So if you’re looking for brunch in York, Zest is definitely one to add to your York food list.

Soak up the rest of summer at one of these al fresco dining spots… ☀️ ⛱️✨

@zestyork 🍋‍🟩
A stunning rooftop brunch spot serving up delicious dishes, cocktails and so much more! The terrace is the best seat for a relaxing meal in the sunshine and a cheeky 2-for-1 cocktail available all day every day! What’s not to love!

@tabancobyambiente 🥘
Tucked away on Walmgate is a fantastic Spanish tapas bar with a suntrap courtyard. We tried their Sunday tapas for two menu complete with a tasty Sherry flight and of course a jug of Sangria! This is the perfect spot to visit with friends or a date night with loads to love (and share!)

@lovecheeseyork 🧀
The Speakcheesey’s Secret Garden really is one of our favourite spots in the city. Backing onto the city walls this gorgeous backdrop is the ultimate spot for a cheeky glass of wine and a cheeseboard on a summers day!

Where will you try first? Let us know! 👇

ZEST, YORK 🍋‍🟩

INVITE | York isn’t short of incredible brunch spots, but not many can rival the terrace at @zest.york. Tucked away just off the brilliantly named Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate, Zest serves breakfast and brunch all day, seven days a week, alongside an impressive cocktail menu with 2-for-1 offers. Hard to argue with that.

We ordered:
🍳 The Full English – Cumberland sausages, bacon rashers, poached eggs, sautéed potato fritter, baked beans, grilled tomatoes & sourdough (£12.95)
🥩 Steak & Eggs – Mixed leaf salad, parmesan chips & peppercorn sauce (£14.95)
🫐 Mixed Berry Açaí Bowl – Fruit & nut granola, honey, coconut, summer seeds, mixed berries & peanut butter (£10.95)

The terrace is the perfect place to settle in, whether you’re stopping by for a couple of cocktails or making a proper meal of it. Having launched a new menu just over a week ago, we decided to sample a mix of dishes from both the brunch and lunch menus... and safe to say we didn’t leave hungry.

The Full English is their best-seller, so it felt rude not to order it. George was particularly happy to discover it came mushroom-free! The açaí bowl was exactly what I wanted: fresh, fruity, naturally sweet and packed with different textures. The Steak & Eggs was another standout, with the parmesan chips being an excellent addition that we’d happily order again.

The drinks menu deserves a mention too, with everything from fresh juices and smoothies to coffees, cocktails and spritzes, making it just as tempting for an afternoon drink as it is for brunch.

Whether you’re after a hearty breakfast, something a little lighter or just a sunny terrace to catch up with friends, Zest is well worth adding to your York list. We’ll definitely be back, if only as an excuse to make the most of that terrace before the Yorkshire sunshine disappears again.

So if you are looking for one of the best summer brunch spots in York 🧐 Zest needs to be on your list!☀️🍹

📍Zest, Whip-ma-whop-ma-gate, York @zestyork *invite/gifted

We were invited back to try their new summer menu and as always, the Zest team do not disappoint 🤩

The pesto & prosciutto Italian focaccia was my favourite by far. It was so fresh and summery and packed with flavour. We also tried the chicken schnitzel and the Cocoa Forest pancakes, washed down with a matcha (they have nailed matcha fyi) and a smoothie.

But let’s talk about the drinks 😏😏😏

Zest has one of the best drinks menus in York, with 2-for-1 cocktails all day, every day. You heard me right, EVERY DAY 👏

And then just because they obviously don’t think they are being generous enough! They also have Happy Hour 3-6pm, again, EVERY SINGLE DAY!

We tried the Aperol Spritz, Hugo Spritz and finished with a huge Pineapple Tequila Sunrise jug! And I must point out these are not small over iced drinks! They are huge glasses! Without a doubt the perfect way to spend a summer afternoon.

Whether you’re looking for brunch in York, lunch with friends, after-work drinks or somewhere to enjoy cocktails in the sunshine, Zest really does tick every box 🙌

The 6 hour + train journey was an experience and I’m so grateful to the girls for humouring this spooky loving 50 year old and making it such a memorable celebration! 🎉 👻

Afternoon tea @bettys
drinks in @thegoldenfleeceyork
and brunch in @zestyork
Of course we had a peep at @yorkghostmerchants
With a little bit of ceramics and the Great Wave at @yorkartgallery for me 🌊
