Fox and Roman in York

Amazing food and lovely staff! Great service every time 😁

Foods ok. Asked for belly pork but it came with no apple sauce? Just a slice of apple? £20 is a steep price but the rest of the dinner was nice. BUT..the price of drinks in there is outrageous!! A very small tap coke, half of bitter and large glass of wine nearly £15! Had half of Estrella when we arrived and it was awful. Flat and horrible. Hence, definitely won't be going again.

En primer lugar debo decir que todo el personal era excelente muy amable y eficiente, sin embargo, la elección del menú era muy pobre, tuvimos una reserva del sábado por la noche para 2 personas, no había platos de pollo en absoluto agotado? ¿Ningún bourguignon de carne, se acabó? Seguramente el stock de comida debería cubrir el fin de semana que supongo es el momento más ocupado? Elegí el pastel que era muy agradable, pero la verdura era tibia, mi marido tenía lubina que estaba satisfecho con su elección. Nos gusta mucho este pub y visitar cada vez que visitamos York. Es un buen ambiente buenas bebidas y como dije antes gran personal. Espero que esta revisión ayude a corregir el problema del menú.

Staying at the holiday inn across the road and came for Sunday tea. The service was amazing and the food was wonderful. Would definitely return

Lovely meal with lovely service from Ned

Our waitress, George, was amazing. Her local knowledge was very helpful to a couple of tourists. Thanks George.

Nice friendly place, diligent on allergies.

Lovely meal and great service by Jakub

Great service and lovey waitress

George was brilliant, nice meal. Nothing to dislike.

Staff were lovely, food was great, would definitely recommend :)

The shared platter was delicious and just right for one person on their own. Staff are fantastic, friendly and really helpful as one of our party are gluten intolerant and they were very thorough with helping select a meal. Puddings and coffee are first class too.

Been coming to the fox & Roman for years and always has that amazing homely feeling you'd expect from a traditional Pub. Great choice of beers on tap and Ned was great and super accommodating when i'd messed up my table booking.

Came here after York Park Run. We had smashed avocado and eggs Benedict. Food was lovely. Staff (Maria and George) were friendly and the service was great.

George was fantastic, very friendly and professional, excellent thank you.

Attended after park run with friends for breakfast. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Food was great.

Visitamos para una cena y encontramos el ambiente en general bueno y mientras que la comida estaba bien, aunque ligeramente caro nos pareció que el personal era excelente, especialmente Sophie y su apoyo Ella que se aseguró de que nuestra noche fue bien.

Lovely food and great service, will be sure to come back.

absolutely brilliant value for the lunch menu, highly recommend. Best lunch we’ve had in York, staff were so lovely and welcoming. We were served by George and Maria and they couldn’t do enough for us! Dog friendly is also a huge plus

Took my mum and son out for Sunday lunch as a treat. Abi was a credit to your company, worked really hard to make sure all customers had what they needed. Great customer service with a happy demeour and very helpful to all our needs. The food was delicious however I would say the portions could be reduced which would reduce costs. The pavlova was amazing but absolutely huge, thank goodness we had planned to share it between 2, it could easily be shared amongst 4 people! Would highly recommend the fox and Roman on Tadcaster road, York

Lovely atmosphere, amazing service from jakub, sophie and ned

Service is excellent; very friendly and professional. Jakub and Sophie have served us many a time with professionalism, good manners and brilliant senses of humour. A*

Staff are fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Have been coming here as a regular for food and drink recently and have never been let down. 100% recommend to anyone who likes a nice relaxed but jolly atmosphere.

¡Qué hermoso pub y equipo fantástico es este! La gestión fue particularmente útil con mi coche en el aparcamiento este fin de semana - gracias de nuevo. Apareció para un pescado con patatas fritas a la vuelta, comida sabrosa muy caliente, servido rápidamente en un exuberante pub. Conocí a unos 5 miembros del equipo y cada uno de ellos estaba lleno de personalidad y amabilidad - gran reclutamiento!

Popped in for a drink. It's lively and friendly and warm in here! Great service as always from Abi!

Friendly waitresse, quick service, the food was lovely and nothing was to much trouble. Maria is a credit to the company. We will definitely return in the future

Great Sunday dinner. Lamb was excellent. Moved tables and shuffled bookings to fit us in last minute.

Best Sunday lunch I've had in York

short on space if you just want a drink on a weekend

Excellent and friendly staff Very tasty food

Great British pub! Lovely food and very cosy spaces ...I look forward to meal here every time. Thanks George!

Lovely staff 👌 perfect Sunday dinner

My wife and I have just had the most wonderful meal. The service was great. We've been staying across the road for three nights. I wish we had come here before. The best meal we have had in York.

Excellent food and very friendly, helpful service. Will definitely go again, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Primera vez en este pub , presentación marcas completas , ambiente marcas completas , servicio - niña pequeña con gafas y cabello oscuro - excepcional , almuerzo del domingo - críticas mixtas . Tres de nosotros elegimos el almuerzo de domingo de tres carnes más grande - la presentación inicial y el tiempo que tomó en venir fueron buenos. El cerdo y el crepitar y el pudín Yorkshire muy agradable, pero un pequeño trozo de pavo y carne de res - necesitaba más. Desafortunadamente el resto del plato era una mezcla de brócoli demasiado cocido, poco cocido o crudo. Y un pedido de queso de coliflor a £ 4. 50 era un buen tamaño pero no lo suficientemente caliente. ¿Volvería - sí , el menú del día de semana se ve bien y relación calidad-precio . ¿Volvería a pagar 22 libras por cabeza para el almuerzo del domingo?

The very best pub meal I've had in a long time. Food excellent staff and waiting times excellent had menu 2 meals for £20 and 3 would be £23

Great food and great staff as usual

although the food was early we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, the taste & presentation was very good & better than we expected, we will definitely use this way of ordering food again. thanks to all involved.

Stepping into The Fox & Roman in Dringhouses, York, feels like coming home. With its warm, inviting atmosphere and beautifully considered décor, this pub strikes the perfect balance between comfort and character. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease, whether you’re stopping in for a casual drink or settling in for a hearty meal. The food is everything you could hope for from a great pub—delicious, satisfying, and full of flavor. This isn’t fine dining; it’s proper pub food done right. Generous portions, high-quality ingredients, and expertly cooked classics make every meal a treat. Whether it’s a perfectly crisp fish and chips, a rich and comforting pie, or a Sunday roast that feels like it’s been made just for you, every dish hits the spot. The drink selection is just as impressive, with a fantastic range of ales, wines, and spirits to complement any meal or simply enjoy by the fire. What truly sets The Fox & Roman apart, however, is the outstanding service. The entire team is friendly, welcoming, and attentive, but special mention must go to Georgie. She is the heartbeat of the place—endlessly kind, professional, and engaging, with a wonderful sense of humour that makes every visit a pleasure. She goes above and beyond to ensure guests have the best experience possible, making each visit feel like a return to a home away from home. If you’re looking for a proper pub with fantastic food, a warm atmosphere, and top-tier service, The Fox & Roman is an absolute must-visit. Five stars all the way!

Not all order sent - ordered extras not sent with the order

El servicio fue extremadamente lento, esperando más de una hora y 20 minutos para nuestra red. Cuando preguntamos cuánto tiempo estuvimos esperando nos dijeron que eran 30 minutos entre cada curso! Decidimos no tomar un pudín ya que otros 30 minutos de espera estaban más allá de nosotros

Came in for lunch with the family, Abigail was amazing, from the minute we walked in to when we left. Nothing was too much for her and she really made our visit enjoyable. Will be back and thank you Abigail

What a great place The Fox & Roman …from entering to leaving the staff where so helpful and friendly , we had a veggie breakfast it was lovely … we sat by the fire it’s a great cozy place … when we’re in the area again we’ll definitely be going back such a shame we didn’t take photos

Lovely meal served by beth very polite and helpful. Had a signature burger and prawns skewers both amazing

Paid for a pork dinner…which was sent without the pork! I paid £18.25 for a plate of vegetables that included roast potatoes that were that dry they were like cardboard. Had issues before with this restaurant cancelling orders after an hour of waitin

Dog friendly, great for meals, or just a coffee.

What a lovely restaurant! All the staff were very friendly and efficient, the service was fantastic, the food and drinks were delicious, and the interior is so lovely, cosy warm and incredibly well kept and clean. It is only slightly more expensive than other pubs/restaurants in the area, and for us this was definitely worth it. We will be back the next time we’re in York and recommending to others who visit!

Ella was fantastic, attentive and friendly

We were served by mainly Ella who provided excellent 5* service and was very friendly and personable. We were also served by Jakub, Sophie, Beth, Abi and Sally who also provided a great service and were very friendly.

after looking at the menu online, i chose this pub for a meal. because it was more on the expensive side, i was expecting really high quality food but was unfortunately quite disappointed, especially for the price! we had the signature burger and the chicken burger. the meat in the chicken burger was such poor quality, tasted very highly processed and like it had just come out of the freezer (which i suspect it had done). we were also waiting for more than 40 minutes for our food after ordering, and the pub was not very busy. we did however really enjoy the chips, the waiter was lovely, there was sufficient parking, and the pub had a very nice interior.

Great food, friendly staff and warm welcome.

Me and the girlfriend had a pleasant time

Lovely food. Served by a lovely waitress called George. Really great service!!!

Amazing veggie breakfast, the beetroot hash are so good.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff, dog friendly with dog treats and bowls of water. Great open fires that are appreciated after a chilly park run. A+++

Good tasty lunch served by polite efficient staff

Friendly place for breakfast and the food was good quality and volume.

Post parkrun breakfast. Table service with a parkrun discounted tea or coffee. Great service. Lovely food. And a real fire. Good choice on the brunch menu.

Absolutely lovely breakfast after the York Parkrun. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Fab place for a post York Racecourse parkrun breakfast. Ultra friendly and efficient staff, great food and even a Parkrun discount on tea & coffee!

Lovely place! Perfect for post parkrun breakfast.

Lovely food and very friendly helpful staff xx

Fantastic pub staff was amazing 👍🥰

Great pub, good atmosphere. And the barmaid Abigail was awesome, friendly and so switched on to what your previous round was. Very good service.

Great evening out with mum & dad - nice food but limited veggie options available

The service and food were excellent.

Had the Sirloin Steak and a pint of guiness. Service was excellent too.

A fantastic pub which also serves great food. Friendly staff and really nice customers who are always up for a chat. Can’t recommend enough.

We visit The Fox and Roman on a regular basis, it's always friendly and great service. The food is amazing. Abigail is a credit to the company, infact all the staff are

We came for Sunday lunch as somewhere different to the chain carvery at the other side of the city but we definitely made the wrong choice. As it is considerably more expensive, I expected the meal to be superior. The meat was (on the most part) dry, parsnips I couldn’t cut through and the crackling was so hard I might as well have had a plastic ruler on the plate. Minimum amounts of gravy as well. Yorkshire pudding was tasty and there was plenty of green veg. Won’t return again for Sunday lunch.

Roasts were nice. Skewers and very expensive £30 steak dreadful. 5 very over cooked, dry and crap prawns on the skewer. Steak full of gristle and had to be chewed for ages… my Dad spat a huge mouthful out and left it in the end after 3 mouthfuls as it was really poor meat.

The welcome, the service, the food and even the farewell were all perfect. I honestly could not suggest any area of improvement! See you soon, for sure

Visited here today, enjoyed the fish and chips, brownie dessert and a coffee, with a friend who had similar. We both enjoyed our food and the general vibe of the place. But the real highlight was the service. Jacob/yacob? Was an absolute delight and a credit to the pub, very attentive & personable, with being very professional at the same time. We visited a place before, and we left due to the lack of service after being left standing around to be seated, which I’m now glad about. Keep up the good work.

We were staying at the Holiday Inn opposite and decided to come here for our evening meal as my mum can’t walk very far. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we had a lovely waitress called Sophie, who couldn’t do enough for us. Our food was all very delicious and the prices were very reasonable for both main meals and my dessert. I loved seeing the Roman relics here but I feel it could do with a little light on in the glass cabinet as it was a difficult to read the information. I highly recommend coming here and downloading the Vintage Inns app as I was treated to £10 off my main meal and also you get a loyalty card to use for future use.

Had an issue while ordering but Maria came over and provided excellent customer service and understand, resolving the issue and ensuring both the food and our evening was good.

We had a lovely visit here, Maria was so helpful and friendly, we had an issue with the app but she resolved it straight away and was very attentive throughout our visit!

Came here for a meal before our daughter returned to university. Whilst the company and conversation was lovely, sad to say, the food was not. It is our local but it’s also part of a pub chain so you shouldn’t expect much…but even so… Very poor starters, garlic mushrooms on toast were both gelatinous and “stalky” at the same time - a remarkable achievement. I’d only had a light lunch, so hoped to fill up on a “double up” on the house skewers of king prawns and also halloumi & peppers. The halloumi, peppers and onions were all undercooked to the point of being raw, the half dozen prawns that turned up on a foot long skewer (despite not being signposted as such) turned up “full shell on”making it ridiculously admin heavy. When they were eventually shucked there was clear evidence of a dirty intestinal tract in the carcasses. Safe to say I erred on the side of caution and left them. On the plus side our son enjoyed his rib eye and our daughter enjoyed her pizza., the service was also friendly and helpful, but offered no alternative when I pointed out the shortcomings of some of the dishes. My partner was equally as unimpressed I was with their prawn skewer. Verdict would be - visit for a pleasant drink and a bag of crisps but definitely go elsewhere for any type of meal - not cheap and cheerful either, for a basic pub meal - 3 starters, 4 mains and 4 drinks c£145. Avoid.

Great place and friendly staff, had a nice few drinks with colleagues but a lot of the menu wasn’t available which was disappointing

We had a very warm and friendly welcome and were shown to a table in the dining room near the fire as we had requested. Menus were already on the table and he took our drinks order which he brought back fairly quickly. It took some time for a waitress to come and take our food order and we were not told what the soup or pie of the day was. I over heard another waiter telling an adjacent table of diners so we found out that way. Once we had placed our food order there was a reasonable wait for our food. The portions were very generous, looked appetising and presented nicely. Food was hot, tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The waitress did come and check during the meal to make sure everything was ok with our food. We decided not to have a dessert and our bill was brought promptly and paid. We would definitely return especially for the 50% off main courses during January.

lovely steak and chips , 50% off voucher to , great meal will be back

We love coming in here! So welcoming and service always with a smile. Our dog feels right at home here which is just the best! Team keep doing what your doing x

really friendly staff , all made very welcome including our Dog Noble They are all Definitely Dog lovers

Lovely venue, fab food & lovely staff 😁

Lovely food. Good prices. Had voucher

Food was absolutely lovely and timely as well, service was great too

Local Friends said the food was hit or miss and unfortunately for us we went on a miss day. It’s such a shame as the pub is so cosy and welcoming, just a shame the food wasn’t great on our visit. Maybe just drinks and nibbles next time. Eating out is too expensive to risk having a poor experience again.

Good for food but not great for pure drinking lots of roofers and tradesmen. There’s not enough tables for the bar, would like more throne type chairs at the bar. Other than this had a good time

My wife and I had a meal at the Fox and Roman. My wife had the beef rib bourguignon and I had the Moroccan spiced chicken breast skewer. We were very disappointed with the size of both portions particularly the beef which was no bigger than the size of a beer mat. It was also rather fatty. The portion of vegetables was also a lot less than we expected. For £24.95 and £18.50 respectively I have had far better meals for a lot less money elsewhere.

It was all very nice and no complaints at all

We came for lunch today 31st Dec, It's the 1st time we ve been and I must say what a lovely pub , lovely staff and very nice food , can not fault anything .

4 Adults and 1 Child (4 year old) all had food. Everything was served Hot and well presented. The Food was cooked beautifully and was very tasty. Couldn't fault it. The atmosphere was Warm and Welcoming and the Service was Slick and professional 👌 We enjoyed everything about it.

We had a lovely Christmas dinner there . Top knotch. Staff were great and very cosy. Same time next year

Food was ok but didn't reflect the price tag. Service was friendly and polite but very slow.

Had a family meal for 10 on Boxing Day have to say it was amazing most of us all had different dishes 3 courses no issues at all everybody was well pleased service was first class will go there again. Amazing value for money. THANK YOU

Many thanks to the and many Thanks to the Fox and Roman team in particular Sally who looked after us. The portion size was perfect and the food was delicious. Value for money. Looking forward to coming next year.

We absolutely love the fox and Roman York.The staff are amazing so friendly and such a warming atmosphere. We highly recommend and will be coming here for many years to come .

The pub is just few minutes walk from the hotel we stayed at. The food is good but not as nice as the photos they showed on their website. The girl who serviced our table is very sweet but they are obviously short of staffs so the service is a bit slow. We had their festival menu and it is just okay in general. Atmosphere with fire place is warm and cozy.

Amazing food and great service! One of the best burgers I’ve ever had.
