Summary: Ripon is such a gem in Yorkshire that many people might overlook but by far was one my favorite visits. The local food was amazing and Linda was an absolute pro in making sure I learned a lot of the area and got to meet the owners are each restaurant. What an amazing experience!

Summary: I had the best time on the Ripon Food tour with our guide Linda. It was really interesting, Linda knows a lot of stuff! The food was amazing - particularly the Indian brunch which was so tasty. You get a lot of food for your money and Ripon is such a lovely place to wander around and learn a bit about. I will definitely be back to sample more at all of the eateries we visited.

Summary: It was a great introduction to Ripon which I'd never visited before. There was an enjoyable mix of history, traditions and back ground supporting our visit to five different venues showcasing great food. We also got to know some key locations to explore at a later date. Come with an empty stomach the portions are generous too.
