The Whippet Inn Steak and Alehouse is a sympathetically restored Victorian pub with quirky modern twist, giving it an understated decadence. This welcome addition to the York restaurant scene provides an adult only environment, hidden away on York’s North Street and celebrates the best in British food and drink. The Whippet Inn’s main aim is to get the best food produce they can find in Yorkshire and then pair it with real ales, lagers, spirits and wines from around Great Britain. A fine example of this is their air dried on the bone 40 day aged Yorkshire beef from Ripon. We are an adult dining restaurant only, as much as we love children and are raising a bunch of our own, we have decided to make this a little haven of tranquillity- a getaway for all.

    This is our third visit and it was pretty disappointing. The food was only just warm and my lentil wellington was dry and unappetising. On a positive note, the staff were attentive and friendly and the desserts were good.

    Staff were very pleasant on arrival and attentive at the table. My partner had the McRib sandwich and didn’t enjoy it unfortunately. I had the fillet steak and asked for it medium and it came rare - I still ate it as it was delicious. Just not my cooking preference! I also thought the sides for the steak were very measly - would have been much better had it come with mushroom and tomato like the chateaubriand does.

    This was our first visit to The Whippet Inn, although we’ve been coming to York at Christmas for years. What a place!! The food was delicious and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be returning on our next visit to York, without a doubt.
