Excellent pub with phenomenal food. I and my partner wandered in there one evening and were astounded by the quality of the food and the portion sizes (she ordered nachos, I ordered a chilli burger). There are many stunning places to eat in York, but for classic pub grub given a creative but unpretentious spin, there's probably nowhere better than here. The staff and atmosphere were lovely too.
Went for Sunday lunch after visiting Jorvik centre. Can fully recommend the braised steak in giant Yorkshire pudding. Brimming with thick cuts of meat and creamy mash, carrots and peas in beefy gravy.
Staff were really friendly and nice quiet atmosphere. A very pleasant experience all round
A really lovely cozy pub to get one of the best fish and chips. The siders were also very good.
The crispy levels were just right!
Definitely recommend if you're looking for a place to eat! If I go back to York, absolutely coming back to taste other goodies from here!
I came here after seeing a Ghost Story by Mad Alice, it intrigued me.
I came to York on a Wednesday and was there for the pub quiz!
I couldn't help but love the vibe and atmosphere of this place.
It honestly felt like being back in the 80s/90s with the volume of customers, decor, upholstery, snacks, clientele...if I lived closer I'd be in there loads!
The prices were reasonable and they have a vast range of drinks on offer....more than any pub I've been in lately...even offering my favourite drink, Old Rosie, along with numerous other offerings from their range!
Unfortunately I didn't get to try the food due to the quiz but they did bring around complimentary portions of chips (which were well seasoned and delicious) during a quiz break and they had lots of nuts/crackers/crisps available for snacks.
Fantastic place which I plan to visit again before I leave and again when I return to York!!
Thank you for an awesome evening!!
Very cute pub, friendly service, great beer selection. Nice fish and chips. Will definitely return if I’m in the area again.
Great atmosphere pub. Friendly staff with very tasty burgers and a good selection of beers and ciders. Amazing teapots as well.
Also hosts 'Yorks best quiz' on a wednesday evening
Popular and atmospheric 18th century pub with a great vibe and all the pub classics… bangers and mash in a giant Yorkshire pudding with proper gravy and service with a very big smile. What’s not to love! 😍
This lovely, historic, Grade II listed pub is a gem. Full of character with a great range of seating options.
Visiting York and stopped by midweek, mid-afternoon. Staff were really friendly and the choice of drinks was good; I really enjoyed my couple of pints of Hobgoblin IPA. Really enjoyed the music too. Would love to return one evening for the advertised live music sessions.
Excellent collection of beer, cider and gin. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food is served in this very old atmospheric pub.
You are lucky if you get a table at this popular location in the centre of York.
If you're visiting York you've got to give this traditional, quirky little pub a visit. The food was delicious and hearty portions. We visited once through the day and then spent two nights there over the weekend listening to some live music on both evenings. Saturday night the singer had everyone up and dancing and the atmosphere was fab. Bar staff are extremely friendly and were happy to point us to other cool places to visit in york. Can't wait to visit again!
