'Strawberry Fields Cafe'
Crockey Hill
Selby Road/A19 (less than a mile, south of where the A19 intersects with the A64)
York

En-route back to York, in the afternoon, we (wife finished at dinner-time & came for the ride) went a different way (1) & decided to try & get some food whilst out
We drove along the M62, to jct 34 (Whitley Bridge/A19) & headed north
There was nothing apparent between there & Selby, I did ask whilst we were in Selby itself

We saw this, & decided to take a chance
It's basic, but with a fairly wide menu
We'd go again!!!

1. Normally I travel; M62 > A1 > A64 > A19/Fulford Road.............. if at that side of York

Sometimes, when not as pushed for time, I'll drive; Castleford > Barnsdale Road > 'Mary Pannall' > Peckfield Bar > HookMoor > 'Crooked Billet'/Saxton > Towton > Tadcaster > join A64

There is (or was) another by the same name, in Nun Monkton, off the A59, west of York
I seem to recall that the name was that of the local landowners Mistress?

Cairn marking the route of the Pennine Way on Kinder Scout. I know personally it’s been there over 40:years at least. Not a temporary structure.
