The York

Came here for Sunday lunch today with my pooch. It was quite quiet on arrival, but soon became very busy. Met at the bar by a friendly staff member who showed me to a free table, handed me the menu and took my drinks order. Great range of both cask and keg beers, I chose the Cryo craft beer, which was delicious. Waiting staff were attentive and friendly not just to me but to other diners around me too. The bar/restaurant had a great atmosphere and the great teamwork of staff was evident. I gave my order of Calamari followed by the Roast pork dinner and I also ordered a side of Cauliflower cheese. The starter arrived promptly with a sweet balsamic glazed salad and a flavoured mayonnaise. I decent portion of delicately coated and fried calamari was a great start. Not long after followed a huge portion of Roast pork, crackling, Yorkshire pudding stuffing, roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots, braised leeks and delightfully spiced red cabbage. Needless to say, I didn't really need the delicious side of Cauliflower cheese, but It would have been rude not to eat it! The generous portion of pork was too much for even me, so a certain pooch gleefully chomped on a deliciously tender slice, in addition to some Yorkshire pud! All in all a lovely experience and will definitely be back soon!

I love this pub, lucky to have it as a local. Always going to give it 5 stars as nowhere in the vicinity comes close to the ambience here. However I was a bit disappointed by the beer and food on last visit. Less impressive range of local beers and my dinner was a small portion of burger and fries. I don't have a big appetite and I was hungry when I got home. It was like a small childs portion of fries.

Dropped in for a bit of Sunday lunch. Was steadily busy but seemed to have lots of seats free. Ordered from a set menu 2 courses for £20, or 3 for £25. Friend is a gluten free vegetarian and they were able to accommodate with their menu. Food was tasty, beef was nice but was covering the veg below, like the tats, leeks and broccoli. The food comes with gravy already poured over it, this also meant the waiter had his thumb in my gravy when it was delivered. Not the waiters fault, but it should be served in a jug as standard. Toddler had a mini roast, the beef there tasted garlicky which ours didnt. i was jealous! Make sure to download the True North app for discounts. The kitchen did offer us a free brownie, i think as they had overstock, which was lovely and a nice gesture and capped off a lovely afternoon. Staff were friendly and interacted with our toddler nicely. Only marked down as the plating/gravy could have been better. Perhaps offering to put in a jug as a standard.
