Food, glorious food! Until Monday 31st August, diners are able to get money off their food bill at cafes, pubs and restaurants, thanks to the government's 'Eat Out to Help Out'' scheme.

It's hoped that it will provide a boost to the struggling hospitality industry, so we've rounded up all the eateries around High Oaks Grange, near Pickering in the North York Moors, who are participating! 

We have some truly amazing news! We are thrilled to announce that High Oaks Grange has been nominated for not one, not two, but THREE White Rose Awards!

The White Rose Awards are organised by Welcome To Yorkshire, and is the largest tourism awards ceremony in the UK. It's an opportunity for Yorkshire to showcase the best and brightest it has to offer, and we couldn't be prouder to have been selected as finalists for three of the award categories in 2020.

We are very lucky to be based in the beautiful North York Moors, and we hope that all of our guests take full advantage of the miles of pristine Yorkshire countryside and coast quite literally on our doorstep.

Alongside this, we ask all our guests to adhere to the Countryside Code, and to respect, protect and enjoy their surroundings. The Countryside Code applies to all parts of the country and gives advice on how you can enjoy your visit to the countryside whilst acting responsibly. Most of it is just good common sense, and sticking to the rules will help you make the most of your time at High Oaks Grange.
