CaseysCoffee in York

Excellent place by the river too eat staff friendly professional old school customer service really brilliant meal best in York

My wife and I were visiting York in September 2024. Having just spent many minutes navigating the downtown parking options we were in dire need of refreshment and sustenance. We ambled about for a bit and came upon the river embankment, and Lil's looked like the best option for lunch. It should have been an indicator when we were clearly looking for some assistance and the staff just brushed past. Nary a "can I help you?" in sight. Eventually I grabbed a waitress (can we still them that) to try and get seated. I was told we just seat ourselves. My bad, my telepathy was malfunctioning that day, or their non-existent signage was. The location is perfect. Top-notch. I guess thats why their staff can get away with acting with such ambivalence to their guests. People come for the river view, not the charm or courtesy. Once seated, it was no guarantee we would get our order taken. It took a minute. Finally our order in, our drinks did come out pretty quick. At least we weren't sitting there like thirsty idiots at an empty table. Also, you pay up front here which was a bit weird for table service, but I guess it being outside dining it's to prevent people not paying. The food, when it came, was great. We split a charcuterie board between us and it was lovely. But, it took 30 mins to deliver some sliced cheese and bread. And it wasn't even that busy. I can't imagine how inept these girls are when all the tables are full. So, like others here have noted, 5 stars for ambience, 4 stars for food and drink, 1 stars for service.

Friendly landlady beer was nothing special. Gone down hill since last visit. Beer garden unkept and in poor shape. Hopefully in will improve was great pre covid busy clean and vibrant. It does have new managers now.

Wonderful, a proper traditional pub we all had the Sunday lunch which was just perfect the staff were also very polite and attentive. If your local I hope you go here don't lose this great Pub. Beer great too:)

My wife and myself have eaten here a fair few times. But never have been as wowwed as we were last night. The gentleman at front of house was impeccable. A credit to the pub. After surveying the specials menu we both decided that the shin of beef pie with champ mash and fresh veg sounded too good to be missed. We were not disappointed! We both said, quite possibly the best pub meal we have ever ever had! The beef was cooked perfectly, the short crust pastry was just incredible. My wife Lydia said it was just like her mum's. That's some credit to the chef! The champ mash was delicious and the veg cooked absolutely spot on. Not a second too long. Again, perfect! We were probably too full for dessert but we were never going to resist if the main was anything to go by. My wife chose the Eton mess. I've never seen anyone look so happy eating a dessert. It looked amazing and indeed it was. I chose the apple and blueberry crumble. Simple and delicious. Just how I like it. All washed down with two fine glasses of Primitivo. And all very reasonable too. Top marks to everyone at the pub. We most definitely will be back!
