Came November 15th. Booked again Dec 7th, but due to storm Darragh had to postpone to Sun 22nd Dec and cancelled trains. I’m Gluten Free, fabulous choice, was so looking forward to returning due to large choices on GF menu. Great ambiance, staff exceptional service, fabulous location in York to all shops. Would highly recommend to anyone See you again soon/ in the New Year u hope

Excellent meal with great service. Lovely surroundings and nice to be able to sit and talk without being drowned out by music. Will definitely return - the meal was one of the nicest I’ve had in a long time.

Lovely meal. It was good to see a menu extensive enough to satisfy a variety of tastes including vegan and vegetarian but not overwhelming like in some restaurants. Excellent serving attentive but not too much. Good value. My 2nd visit and will certainly come again.

A "Gastronomic Epiphany " . From the warm welcome on arrival,the friendly and attentive staff to the cosy and historic surroundings, it was the perfect setting to what was probably going to be one of my most memorable dining experiences. We both ordered the fabled "steak n ale" pie with a side of cauliflower cheese. We deliberately abstained from a starter so that we would be able to fully appreciate the main. We were not disappointed ! The pie,gravy,garlic mash and side were sublime. We will be back.

A very relaxed lunch with work colleagues. Good choice of food and drink for all appetites and some nice non-alcohol / veggie / vegan options. Service was relaxed and friendly and we could keep our table for as long as we wanted. The interior was lovely and beautifully clean. Would definitely book again!
