With a calm view over neatly mown lawns, the two dining rooms, The Oak and The Pineapple offer the perfect, elegant setting for breakfast, lunch or even a candlelit dinner, along side a wine list reflecting quality and variety.

Middlethorpe Hall is situated in 20 acres of gardens. Overlooking the York race track, the Hall is a good choice for Racegoer. It is just a mile and a half from York railway station and the City – one of the oldest cities in Britain, still enclosed by its mediaeval walls.
What cuisine is on offer at The Oak Room at Middlethorpe Hall Hotel, Restaurant & Spa?

Warm chocolate tart with passion fruit ice cream makes for a tempting dessert combination.
