The Rattle Owl

York

This neighbourhood gem has parquet flooring, exposed brick walls and old milk bottles full of fresh flowers on the tables. Head chef Jamie Hall and owner Clarrie O’Callaghan experiment with Yorkshire’s finest produce to create a mouthwatering menu. Feast on slabs of bread from Haxby Bakehouse and goat’s cheese cannelloni, before setting your sights on braised leg of rabbit with sweetbreads and salty pancetta, an umami-rich taste of autumn. If you have room, the lemon meringue pie topped with home-made jelly is a fabulously zesty way to round off your meal.
