We came to the Carlton for a meal for my friends birthday I would like to say honestly the service I got from Aaron the barman was out of this world he was an amazing gentleman also may I say the food we got was outstanding so thank you chef the fish was the best fish I have ever tasted in a pub and thank you for putting candles in my friends ice cream A 1st class pub with an amazing team

We stayed 5mns away from this pub, and were advised by the owner of our holiday accommodation to go there for dinner, as it was a Monday night and the no food was being served anywhere else. It is a huge place and extremely quiet. We were welcomed by a very friendly young lady, which is always very nice. I gave 4 stars, as my husband was really looking forward to a meal of fish and chips, but was told they didn't have any, neither they had sirloin steak. So he had steak and ale pie and I had chicken tikka massala. The latter came with pilau rice, nan bread, poppadom and mango chutney. It was all very yummy. The best of all is that it is very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend it.

The Carlton Tavern is a large pub in a former country house. There is a good range of beers, lager and cider. Unfortunately, the cask ale was not on when we visited. We didn't have anything to eat, but the menu looked very tempting, and the food coming out of the kitchen looked very nice. The staff are friendly and welcoming. There is a dartboard and there is outdoor seating in very attractive gardens and a large car park.

Called in off chance on a Mon night as we staying in York nearby. The place was quiet but it's a nice old school pub. Ordered a kebab and fish and chips. The portions were very generous as per pic and very nice. We would definitely return. Staff very friendly and helpful too.

Not been in for a while due to work commitments. Bar staff polite and ordered food. Much improved since last time I was there. Did not taste like a microwave meal and I saw they have changed the chef. I hope this is permanent as I would return if it was the case.

I like the Carlton, not been for a while due to change in work patterns. Popped in for a family meal 3 generations. Good to see a beer on the hand pull. Food very good, reasonably priced for both quantity and quality. Probably the best meal we've had there. Service friendly as usual. Didn't have to wait long for the food and didn't feel rushed.

First time for Sunday lunch here and we’ll be back, there was 3 of us and we got moved closer due to walking problems and the lady sorted it out straight away with no problems, the only small thing I would say the slice of meat was very thin but that’s not a massive problem but we did all noticed it and a few other tables overheard saying it as well but great service and will be back in the future.

I am a real ale cask beer drinker but I also love a good craft keg beer when no cask ale is available. Lots of my friends now drink craft beer and pubs are now catching on to this trend. So even if lots of pubs don’t have cask beers they have the usual popular craft ales such as Kneckoil, Shipyard or Camden Pale. This pub ONLY has lager and not very exciting ones at that. The pub has a nice garden and it’s very spacious inside. I can’t believe they are not getting up with the trend for craft ales. They are missing out on a lot of custom. I and my friends won’t be coming back.

We were looking for somewhere to eat that was close to where we were staying, so we thought we'd give this place a go. We were so glad we did. Staff were friendly, there was plenty of seating and the menu was really good. The food when it arrived was hot and tasted delicious. Some of us had asked for fries instead of chips with our meals and that was no problem at all. We enjoyed it so much that we popped back for a second visit a couple of days later. Would highly recommend.

We came for the Carvery. The food was well presented on the carvery and tasted delicious. Plenty of food! I liked that we weren’t in a big queue, that each table was served in turn, this was such an effective way to manage the tables. I suppose my only gripe was that we booked a table for 12 noon not realising that was when the doors opened so we were stood in the rain for 5-10 minutes until the doors were opened. We had my elderly mother with us so think maybe the doors could have been opened earlier to allow for the terrible weather. However once inside we felt welcomed and comfortable. We will definitely come again but will check doors opening time first!!

We tried to book to have our Christmas Day lunch here, but at the time they were fully booked. However, a table became available and we are so grateful..... The whole thing was a lovely experience. Everything seemed to flow so easily, from the short time waiting at the bar to the excellent time between courses. The food was excellent : very tasty, very hot and more than enough of it. All the staff were extremely pleasant, the table cleared quickly between courses, nothing too much trouble. Not too often we eat out on Christmas Day but we would certainly do it again here!

I booked a table for 10 and asked for the comfy seating at the back as I needed disabled access (toilet and no steps) When we arrived there was already a large group of people in that area and the bar staff seemed unaware of the booking and went into off us the conservatory which was totally inadequate. It took a long while for the food to arrive but everyone seemed to enjoy it and the plates were empty. Please, please check for bookings as if this happens again, we will not be coming back.

Me & my wife started an 9 day holiday in York , then onto the Whitby Goth Weekend 2023. Our campervan unfortunately broke down on the first day 😞. We had booked the Carlton Lodge & phoned to ask if could arrive early to store our luggage. "Yes not a problem 👌 " We arrived to check in at the Pub. From that second we was treated brilliantly. The land lady (I assume) was exceptional, polite , professional & charming. The customers really do come first. Our lunchtime meal was fantastic & great value for money. The Carlton Lodge was a great stay over. Clean & tidy & a fabulous bed. Definitely coming back next year. Well done to the whole team at Carlton Tavern York and the Carlton Lodge. Mike & Marie

Went today for a Sunday carvery, we got there for 14.00 but didn't realise they finished serving the carvery & didn't have any other food on. Last time we came they served food all day & into the evening, I checked the website but it didn't have any details in the menus or on the website about the carvery times. Shame! They lost customers as we had one drink & went elsewhere & thoroughly enjoyed our alternative! Update your website to let people know what you are serving & when!

Fantastic pub, such a cosy atmosphere and great community feel to it. Staff were also really friendly and helpful. We did the pub quiz which was great - a lot of fun and just the right level for us. I would say my only disappointment of the whole night is the quiz was advertised to start at 8pm but it didn't begin until gone half past, which would usually have been fine but I'd rushed to get here and sacrificed a proper meal beforehand! Other than that we had a great time.

The actual place itself is easy on the eye and comfortable, it’s just a shame the staff have to be so rude, allowing people to push in at the bar and being very abrupt when asked about particular beers, poor attitude from both behind the bar who seemed to be competing for the award for worst attitude, they should take a leaf from their namesake around the corner who have a much better work ethic, first and last visit here…. Not impressed at all !

First visit since the refurb. Had the buy one get one free burger which were excellent value. Lovely succulent burger, not the horrible dry chargrilled versions you get elsewhere. Best one I have had in a pub in a long time. Lovely fresh salad, fries and proper onion rings. The mocha was excellent too. Superb value and will definitely be coming back again soon. Well done.
