Well that`s exactly the sort of thing I meant at the start of this thread, though Castle Howard is notorious for expense to be honest. If you ever get as far south as Elvington pop into `Big Baps` on the industrial estate opposite Wheldrake Lane. £6.55 would get you a decent lunch & a drink, owner is a cyclist as well.
Been in this morning just as it was filling up with lads in vans & locals from the estate - well worth a stop.
Cafe & coffee
Re: Cafe & coffee
Elvington is just down the road from me. Not likely to need a coffee after 5 miles!

I t was £2.95 for the latte - dearer than Costa etc. I won't be calling there again unless I am desperate! I hadn't paid so much for lunch in Pickering!
The last time I was at that café half of us sheltered under the table umbrellas whilst the others sat on a bench eating their packups - in the rain - rather than pay those prices.

Have you tried the World Peace Café in Kilnwick Percy, near Pocklington?
Highly recommended, although the portion sizes mean that the cakes occasionally have to be shared
Riders from East Yorkshire CTC are getting round to listing their other favourite cafés in that area:
