If there's one thing we love as much as a peaceful countryside escape, it's great food. Here at Bugthorpe Grange Glamping, we're proudly food-obsessed – from local brunch to dining out in nearby gems, and sizzling BBQs under the stars. Whether you're staying for a weekend or a full week, you're in for a real treat when it comes to eating well.

 

Eating Out in York and Beyond

You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to dining out in the local area. Just a short drive away, York is packed with restaurants that are perfect for every occasion.

Ambiente Tapas is a must for anyone who loves flavour-packed, shareable dishes. Think chorizo, calamari, patatas bravas, and a lively atmosphere that brings a slice of Spain to Yorkshire.

For classic French bistro fare, Rustique delivers every time. It’s the perfect place for a cosy, candle-lit meal – we’re talking duck confit, creamy coq au vin, and rich chocolate mousse.

Lucia’s, set in the heart of York, offers a vibrant Italian menu in an even more vibrant setting. The cocktails, décor, and food all feel indulgent and celebratory – ideal for a special night out.

 

Looking further afield?

There are some fantastic foodie spots in the surrounding villages and towns too.

In Stamford Bridge, we highly recommend No. 10 Café Bar and Bistro. With a welcoming vibe and quality, home-cooked dishes, it’s perfect for a relaxed brunch, lunch, or dinner. Their Sunday roasts are a local favourite.

Over in Malton, Yorkshire’s self-declared food capital, Pizza on the Square is a hit for its wood-fired pizzas and relaxed vibe. Sit in, take out, or grab one for your journey back to the glampsite.

And for a true country pub experience, head to The Jolly Farmer Inn in Leavening. With a roaring fire in the colder months and a beer garden in summer, this cosy inn serves traditional pub food done right – all with a warm Yorkshire welcome.

 

Fire Up the BBQ!

For those who prefer to dine al fresco, we’ve got just the thing. Our premium gas BBQs (Outdoor Chef) are available to rent for only £20 – perfect for grilling outside your pod while watching the sunset.

To make things even easier (and tastier), you can pre-order our BBQ hampers, packed with juicy burgers, seasoned sausages, marinated chicken, and kebabs – all sourced from our trusted local butcher. It’s a great way to enjoy local produce with zero hassle.

We also offer a complimentary welcome hamper on arrival, filled with breakfast essentials – think bread, butter, milk and jam. Everything you need to kick-start your stay the Yorkshire way. You can find more details at on the ‘Our Pods’ page on the website.
