1. Omni Wine Bar

This independent bar serves a range of wines, real ales, cocktails gins and more. But, the real star of the show in Omni Wine Bar in Malton are its small plates. We visited for New Years and its Yorkshire tapas exceeded our expectation with some of the tastiest dishes we ever tasted.
We enjoyed a 28 days matured Yorkshire slow cooked cheek, along with beef dripping chips. There veggie options are just as tasty with the bang bang sprouts not to be missed. There was also a mini steak & ale pie with mushy peas and a sticky onion gravy that had us salivating. All served in a beautiful relaxed venue that was a pleasure to be in. 22 Market Pl, Malton YO17 7LX
