Walking through the market we stumbled across the Restaurant. Beautiful old building inside and out. Greeted by friendly staff. Myself and my mum ordered the roast beef, large fluffy yorkshire puds, melt in the mouth beef, crispy roast potatoes and lots of veg on side, gravy was also rich and tasty. My dad and son had fish and chips, lovely crispy batter and crisp homemade chips. My wife had the salmon tagliatelle, slightly small portion but suited my wife's appetite and was rich and creamy with well cooked fish. Overall an excellent experience and will visit again when in York next, highly recommended.

Looked really nice from the outside, that's where it ended. Worse ever cream tea! Every year we have a break in york, every year we try a different cafe' Only wanted a cream tea each.... Tea was nice, wish I'd taken photo of the scones! Only just edible but very dry. ... microwaved to warm (or possibly soften) It was tiny, had fatter pancakes to be honest. It was also very dry. Tiniest pot of cream, no more than a teaspoon full. It's definitely was not fresh. A small packeted jam & butter. ( like you see at in B & Bs ) Heard a couple of other people complaining too.

We came in at noon, looking for something light, but healthy, after having eaten a lot of sweets in the morning. We had the homemade potato, leek and carrot soup, which comes with brown bread, and an order of onion rings. I was really impressed with the soup! It was delicious, homemade, with some yummy garlic croutons on top. The atmosphere here is great. Friendly service, quiet, background music, and a fabulous, tudor age building. Great little pub in the heart of York's Shambles area!

The building is stunning and I suspect the food is fine if you order traditional English fare. But we ordered pasta and pancakes. Big mistake. The carbonara was so greasy it was inedible - it was nothing like the genuine article. And my pancake came floating in a pool of cheesy gunk, so I left most of it. They need a more up-to-date chef to deliver these kind of menu items. Or take them off the menu.

I have visited Gert and Henry’s many times over the years and have always found the service and the food to be of excellent quality. On a recent two day visit we went on both days and had the Sunday roast beef with Yorkshire pudding which were excellent. The service is sublime and the the location near to the Shambles is first class. I cannot understand some of the negative reviews for this establishment, perhaps these people eat at McDonalds regularly and don’t know what good food tastes like. Highly Recommended. *****

Just had a fab meal at Gert & Henrys in York - what a find! 🙌 This Tudor-style gem is like stepping back in time. I went for the cod and seabass fish cakes with creamy prawn sauce - holy moly, it was delish! My partner demolished an Aberdeen Angus cheeseburger, which looked proper tasty too. But the real star? The ambiance! Felt like we were dining with Henry VIII himself (minus the beheadings, thank goodness). Low beams, wonky walls, and that authentic old-world charm - it's the real deal. If you're after a proper English experience with great grub, this place is a must-visit. Just watch your head on those beams after a pint or two! 🤣

Big hearty well cooked English Breakfast in an authentic Tudor building within 5 minutes walk of York Minster and right on the corner of The Shambles. Staff are very friendly and efficient and the whole experience was a joy. I guess this place will get very busy around lunchtime. Considering it is in the centre of the tourist area, the pricing is very reasonable.

My first time of writing a bad review. The last time my wife and I eat at this restaurant was well over 20 years ago .this is were you could get all your dinner inside of a very large freshly made Yorkshire pudding it was famous for this..... Now they serve slice beef with aunty Bessie Yorkshire puddings tin pees an over cooked roast potatoes. My fish and chips and tin pees I left it was that bad they must have cooked the fish the day before and rebooked it again that afternoon for me. THIS must be number 1 for the worst foot we had anywhere for a long long time. They dint even ask how was your meal. They could see I had left mine most other people were only having snacks which looked ok. The good thing about doing reviews like this is I can warn others this is not a good place in my mind to eat. The owner didn't seem bothered I didn't eat their fish and chips. Nice building but bad food. My batter looked like ginger snap, chips were hard and you can't spoil tin pees or they would have done that.

We ordered breakfasts and they were happy to accomodate with extras and how our eggs were cooked even though they were very busy. The food was hot, tasted lovely and we really enjoyed it.

Lovely Tudor building. I couldn't fault the service and the staff were lovely but the sting in the tail came with the bill. Just short of £32 for 2 baked potatoes and 2 bottles of beer. Pretty expensive for what was mediocre food. In the evening we had a 2 course meal with wine at another restaurant for £57. It's a shame really as we have been here on previous visits to York and had better food. Definitely won't be returning next year.

Absolute joke of a sunday lunch. My wife and I ordered the beef with Yorkshire pudding and vegetables, the beef came first with the so called gravy which had a skin on it because it had been sitting for ages and was lukewarm then 3 minutes later the veg arrived also lukewarm. The Yorkshire pudding was absolutely disgusting as were the so called roast potatoes. Please please do not use this restaurant its an absolute rip off not once did they ask hows your meal etc even when we paid the bill still no interaction with the customer. £4.65 for a small bottle of lager and a fiver for a third of a glass of red wine. Like i said these people who run this establishment have absolutely no interest in looking after there customers only after your money so please dont waste it in this place.

En el exterior de este lugar, se ve muy atractivo, con rosbif y Yorkshires y muchas otras comidas sabrosas. No tan. Desde el principio, tuvimos que subir dos tramos de escaleras que eran muy estrechas, a pesar de ver algunas mesas vacías en la planta baja (mi mamá tiene problemas con las escaleras después de la cirugía de cadera). Examinamos el menú y nos dimos cuenta de que era bastante caro (más de 14 por una hamburguesa...). Nos decidimos por tarta casera de pollo, puerros y jamón. ¿Qué podríamos tener con él? Patatas fritas, ensalada o verduras. Extraño, ya que no comería ensalada con un pastel caliente, pero tendría papas y verduras (pero verduras, sin papas). De todos modos, llegó nuestra comida. Si te digo que este lugar también serviría como zapatero, verías que el pastel estaba tan seco como un hueso y que el pastel podría haberme vuelto a poner suelas en los zapatos. El chef claramente se dio cuenta de que estaba demasiado cocido, seco y duro, ya que venía con un tazón de lo que habría sido la salsa que debería haber estado en el pastel.Comida espantosa, servicio mediocre, refrescos extremadamente caros (2.50 por menos de media pinta de limonada) y atmósfera inexistente.

Como familia de cinco, pasamos unos días en York, un destino muy visitado por nosotros. Queríamos desayunar y dimos un paseo buscando un lugar para comer para un desayuno tradicional. El plan del gobierno Eat out to help se estaba ejecutando y ya había enormes colas fuera de lugares como Betty's y las cadenas de restaurantes y, por casualidad, justo en The Shambles nos topamos con este lugar que tenía una mesa para acomodarnos.Mi esposo y yo tomamos el gran desayuno, y nuestros hijos comieron un pan de salchicha, huevos escalfados sobre tostadas y un mini desayuno. Todos tomamos bebidas calientes. Incluso teníamos una olla de agua caliente para llenar nuestra tetera.El servicio fue muy rápido, lo cual es genial cuando tienes una familia joven esperando ansiosamente la comida.Cuando salió el mini desayuno, era enorme, ciertamente suficiente para mí, ¡el gran desayuno realmente no decepcionó! ! Fue enorme, he puesto una foto de él en esta revisión. Absolutamente delicioso y no me puedo quejar de la calidad de la comida, incluso los huevos parecían perfectos, yemas de naranja.El menú de la noche tenía una excelente relación calidad-precio y había mucha variación, pero nos aventuramos más esa noche.Al pagar, recibimos el descuento que fue brillante, pero con toda honestidad, hubiera sido más que feliz pagando el monto total, valió la pena y tuvo una gran relación calidad-precio.No puedo distinguir los comentarios negativos de sus críticas aquí, ¿están seguros de que tienen el lugar correcto porque ciertamente no es el servicio que recibimos? 10 de los 10 . ¡Todavía estamos hablando de ese desayuno!

The food was nice and service was good. We had the mussels which were good quality with a nice sauce, but really need to come with bread rather than having to pay extra. The steak sandwich my wife had she thought was excellent and the fish and chips were enjoyed by my son. Overall we enjoyed our lunch very much but I think if we had have paid the full price rather than the eat out to help out price we would have felt it was not good value, but can't complain with the offer on. I was very annoyed when I got back to discover that I had been charged for a bottle of water when we asked for and were given a jug of tap water in addition to our soft drinks we had when we arrived, so check your bill throughly.

We were greeted nicely at the door and asked to book in and sanitise which is very much the norm now. We were shown to a lovely little table that overlooked the bustle of the market. We ordered the special spaghetti carbonara and garlic bread. It came out and looked lovely. It was so creamy and delicious. You could certainly tell that it was made freshly for us and that it was using the best ingredients. It was not a massed produced dinner that you would get in a national chain. The garlic bread was lovely and there was 4 slices, so enough for the 2 of us to share. Really happy with the service and would recommend

I paid over £25 for 2 portions of chips that were dry and small portion, garlic bread, a toasted teacake, orange juice and 2 coffees. The coffee was weak. Staff were friendly enough. But we didnt feel like anyone would deliver excellent service. Just standard service, very standard food which was massively over priced. Never again, felt bad for my mum. Need to up your game if you are competing for customers at this hard time.

I was on a business trip and popped in for a light meal firstly I was ushered to a tiny table after been informed that people dont usually visit here alone you cant possibly take up a full table. They literally threw a menu onto the table then chatted to each other loudly ignoring me trying to make eye contact to place my order.eventually 15 mins later a miserable looking man came over and said what do you want ( no maners) i ordered a sandwich and a coffee 30 mins later i was presented with a sad loking sandwich with wilted lettuce and curled up bread which was by no means fresh.I asked the waitress if the bread was fresh n she tutted and said if you dont like it greggs is over the road.I have never been spoken to like this in an eating establishment . I quickly ate what i could and paid and left the waitress snatched my card and didnt speak to me i will not be returning and advise no body to set foot in there I doubt it will stay open long as they have no idea how to run a business Terrible place.

We lunched early at this historic restaurant and were well received with a friendly supportive ambience and were well seated by a window. We chose a veggie dish and salmon tagliatelle which could have been vegetarian with its miniscule fishmeat. The carnivorous need magnifiers.

We lunched early at this historic eatery and were well served, with a friendly ambience and fine seating. We chose a veggie dish and salmon tagliatelle - which with miniscule seafood evident could well also have been said to be veggie. The carnivorous should bring magnification.

Enjoyed a piece of apple pie with custard and a glass of red wine. Yum! Cute little place that fills up quickly.

Probably a bit stuck in a time bubble but that’s not always a bad thing, it was obvious this is a popular restaurant offering comfort food favourites at good prices and it definitely is appreciated by families in the centre of York. We enjoyed fish & chips and a burger and myself the faggots and pease pudding...only it wasn’t what I expected, a pretty good dose of breadcrumbs made the flavour very mild and the pear pudding was simply green peas mashed down a bit rather than using yellow split pease. Maybe it’s a York thing.Anyhow, cheap, filling and swift service, which is what we want once in a while! Will come back!

Went on my own with two young children and the staff could not have been friendlier. My son wanted to go in as roast dinner is his favourite and he saw it advertised on the board outside. What a special meal we had, and happy memories made. All the staff were so friendly and so welcoming. Thank you.

Adoro provare qualcosa di tipico durante ogni viaggio. Questa locanda ci ha colpito subito per l'architettura da 'cottage medievale'. Bellissima sia fuori che dentro! Ottimo il cibo (frittura perfetta e salse gradevoli, da migliorare il contorno). Il dolce l'ho assaggiato per la prima volta e si chiama: Jam Roly Poly Cake. A mio gusto è troppo dolce ma non è affatto male, porzione abbondante quindi consiglio di condividerlo con qualcun altro.

We called mid morning for a much needed cup of tea and took advantage of the offer drink and a doughnut for £2.50 and this is right in the centre of York with all the tourists. Lovely ambiance, friendly staff, great pot of tea and lovely doughnut

Llamamos a almorzar hoy y disfrutamos de una excelente comida. Estaba ocupado pero conseguimos nuestras bebidas y comida con bastante rapidez, todas porciones muy deliciosas y de tamaño perfecto. Excelente relación calidad-precio también, especialmente en York, cerca de la zona turística. El personal era muy amable y atento, muy servicial con nuestra hija de 6 años. ¡Muy recomendable!

Questo ristorante tipico si trova nelle Shambles di York e sembra di tornare indietro nel tempo. L’atmosfera è piacevolissima e anche il personale ha contribuito a rendere il pranzo molto gradevole! Qui si trovano piatti della tradizione inglese, dal fish&chips; al pudding fino al classico hamburger di Angus. Consiglio il dessert, il jam roly poly, magari da dividere visto che la porzione è molto abbondante!

Had lunch there on Sunday, the staff are great and the food is excellent value for money. All food is freshly made and the deserts are “old school” - spotted dick and treacle pudding etc. Definitely worth a visit if in York centre.

Este restaurante está justo en el corazón de la ciudad de York, ubicado en un antiguo edificio cerca de The Shambles. La comida siempre está lejos de ser antigua y siempre de alta calidad. Un menú muy extenso con una gran tabla de especialidades.

Stopped in York for a few years. Found this place on walking around in the rain. Quaint. Staff very friendly. Just one problem the ladies toilet is way up in the gods of the building and if you have bad legs forget it, it's up and up the steps, plus there are only two when you get there. The gents is on the ground floor. Didn't see any disabled facility? Food excellent though. We both had jacket potatoes fab with a side salad. Good value for money on the food front especially for lunch.

First time and last time, we would ever dine again at this establishment. Greeting from the ignorant and arrogant woman behind the bar made us think should we leave not stay. The fish and fries nothing to write home about, bread and butter was NOT offered with the meal. Which is customary with any genuine English Fish and Chip. Fish and chips was advertised on the menu, not French Fries. Others had the pie with frozen not home cooked roast potatoes. When paying £50 for 4 people you would expect home cooked/home made food. Please consider more thought about presentation and a more welcoming cheery response when walking in. Disgusting service and food. NEVER AGAIN.

Vine aquí el 13 de octubre de 2019 después de dar vueltas y vueltas buscando un lugar para comer. Al subir las escaleras a pisos desnivelados y después de sentarse a la mesa, siente que las bebidas se deslizarán hacia la ventana, ya que parece estar en una pendiente. Pedimos, 1) Whitebait y Ploughmans, 1) Cóctel de gambas 3) Patatas con atún y mayonesa 1) Cena de rosbif, 1) Fagots con pudín de pease y 1) Sándwich de queso. el asado y los maricones compartieron un plato de papas y verduras. Las chaquetas eran agradables y suaves en el medio, así que no tengo quejas. El comensal que tenía los maricones dijo que era "bastante sabroso". Sentí lástima por los pobres camareros y camareras, que parecían estar arriba y abajo constantemente. Fue adecuado para nosotros y agradablemente servido.

En el exterior, este es un hermoso edificio y te hace querer entrar. Al entrar es como algo de los años 70. Mesas pegajosas y un ambiente de cafetería que es una pena. . Esto podría convertirse en un pequeño lugar peculiar con calas y chimeneas que es lo que esperábamos. Está desactualizado y huele a humo. Mis sentimientos son que en una posición tan superior con la caída del pie les falta un truco. Tiene mucha necesidad desesperada de actualizarse.

We booked a table for 4 for lunch and I’m so pleased we visited here, I had a nut allergy and they couldn’t do enough to make sure it wasn’t a problem, the food is amazing we all thought so and the service was fantastic, after being in catering for over 25 years i can truly say I was very impressed, we will definitely be back and highly recommend this place if you want to celebrate a special meal, big thank you to all the staff including the kitchen, clearly you’ve got a very good team and I’m sure this will soon be that busy you’ll have to book weeks in advance James & Dawn xx

Ordered the BBQ Chicken which was wrapped in streaky bacon, smothered in beer cheese with crispy onions served with vine tomatoes, chips and onion rings also had a pint of Theakston's Old Perculier. What can I say about the establishment: A warm welcome awaits, staff are friendly, polite and very attentive. Atmosphere in the pub was inviting with low music playing which is not intrusive if you are trying to enjoy a conversation with friends. Golf was playing on the TV (no sound) therefore a nice addition if you are a sports fan. The food was fabulous and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend this establishment and you will not be disappointed with either the warm welcome, atmosphere, food or drinks on offer.

What a dirty and disgusting premise, crap staff, dirty room, bathroom full of mould, room smelt damp and of smoke, I would never stay here again I would rather sleep rough.
