Chopping Block Restaurant At Walmgate Ale House

Chose from the 2 course set menu yesterday as wanted to experience a Yorkshire Pud in Yorkshire.Had the Roast Beef, Sunday Lunch followed by the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The Yorkshire Pud was amazing, the beef, gravy & vegetables were all pretty good too. The roasties though were very disappointing & over done. I dislike reheated roast potatoes anyway, not sure why I didn’t expect this … I probably should have known better, hence not mentioning to our server, who was lovely. The sticky toffee pud was a triumph.

A group of 9 booked here for Sunday lunch (7th April) 5 Adults and 4 Children. Most of us ordered the mixed roast and 2 Children ordered sausage and mash but changed it to chips which wasn't a problem. We also ordered puddings. There was nothing but compliments from our entire group. The food was served in a decent amount of time, the portion sizes were good and for someone who isn't particularly fussed about Yorkshire puddings I ate all of mine. My Children are both young and could have probably shared a kids sausage and chips as it was a good size portion. They really enjoyed their food as well. The team really took care of us, they were really friendly from the moment we arrived. (I did ask the girls name who took our payments as I wanted to say a big thank you to her but by the time I have got home I've forgotten it - maybe Georgia??) We'll definitely be back the next time we have a family gathering in York.

The food was exquisite... lovely presentation and not what I expected at all. This is a lovely little pub, with ropes hanging from the ceiling, We had the rosbif on the menu, Beef that was melt in the mouth and the service was excellent. On initial inspection, looks like it caters more as pub than a foody place, so it really surprised us. I'll definitely dine there again. Highly Recommend.

We ate early so initially we were the only people in the restaurant but later more people began to arrive. Lovely old building, full of history. Very attentive server, food was excellent quality, fresh and very tasty, good portion sizes, we had the tartiflette and then lamb shoulder. Neither of us could fit in a dessert. Good selection of beers and wine. Really enjoyed it, will be back . Thanks

Seems that menu changes regularly. Am sure all choices are as good as mine which was excellent. Ham hock starter followed by one of best presented rump steak I have eaten. Partner equally impressed with duo of sea trout followed by rosbif. Wonderful staff (Monica & Andrew) in interesting dining room. Thank you all
