Vine Cafe

North York Moors National Park


Goodies plucked from the gardens take centre stage at this whimsical cafe housed in vine-draped Victorian greenhouses within creepers distance of Helmsley Walled Garden. Everything on the menu is fresh and simple, like the homemade hummus and chickpea curry, organic frittata and Helmsley butcher's ham sandwich. It's licensed, too, so you can take a Yorkshire G&T with lunch in the sun.
