As a tourist destination, Pickering stands out because of its medieval origins and in this vibrant market town, Castlegate Taberna brings forth an array of delicious Spanish tapas and dishes. Choose from cold tapas such as prawns, squid and mussels in salsa or smoked salmon and caper berries on toasted bread while hot tapas such as lamb chops and romesco sauce or sautéed broad beans and Serrano ham are equally popular choices.

Main courses might include grilled medley of fish; chicken breast served with fried potatoes and salad, or rib eye steak with piquillo peppers while vegetarians might enjoy a butter bean and vegetable casserole. The selection of desserts includes caramelised lemon tart or a hot sponge with custard and you can sip on refreshing sangria or choose something from the typically Spanish wine list. Set menus for parties offer good value.
