Guy Fawkes Inn in York

On a positive note the bed was very comfortable. The garden room not suitable for couples who want a quiet stay due to noise from the beer garden. No fresh milk or water in the room which would be expected of a 4 star hotel. The bathroom needs updating with a new radiator and hooks need to be provided to hang towels. The breakfast was adequate.

Guy Fawkes Inn is an authentic experience! The room was clean and neat, and the historic charm with crooked floors and exciting nooks and crannies gives the place a very special atmosphere. It is incredibly practical with a short distance from the pub to the bed on the floor above 🙂. The service was good, and the atmosphere was just as pleasant as one could hope for. Highly recommended!

OK pub a bit over priced, good selection of Cask Ales.

A nice old pub, however disappointing for the price. Location is the best, right opposite the minster and close to most attractions. We found the bed in our room was pretty saggy and not really what you would expect for the price. Other room amenities were good. Breakfast was quite good. It’s almost like it’s a different kitchen crew to the rest of their food. Food quality for dinner and lunches was just not good overall. We went and ate at a different pub for our second night as after the previous nights dinner and then bland sandwiches for lunch we couldn’t stomach any more. We found that the other pub was a fraction of the price and much better quality food!

Lovely upstairs bar & craft beer 🍺

Wow had there Sunday Dinner (Pork) Was just what the doctor ordered on a cold Sunday evening but the sticky toffee pudding was something else. Service was good and friendly will defiantly be back next time were in York.

Best steak and ale pie I’ve ever had. Worth the hype. Cool old atmosphere too.

Absolutely stunning and charming Hotel/Inn/Bar/Restaurant, right in the heart of the Minster quarter of York. The whole place gives off a Stuart-era vibe, in keeping with the idea of it being Guy Fawkes' birthplace. There is barely a flat or straight surface in the entire building, which gives the whole place a wonderful charm. Despite all the natural charm and history, they've done a great job with the modern touches - our room was well equipped and incredibly warm (it was -5 outside!), with a view over the Minster - and the breakfast in the morning was absolutely fantastic and as hot as if everything had just come out of the oven and onto our plates

Came for a quick drink in the bar. Absolutely gorgeous interior. Nice choice of drinks. Service was ok. The lager didn't taste great though unfortunately.

Bar restaurant and staff amazing but unfortunately not the rooms11 and 12 need attention, in bathroom alot of cracked tiles on floor very rusty radiator and could of been cleaner, needs full decoration. Very nosey and no water not worth the money I'm sorry to say as the rest of the place was fantastic.

La decoración y el ambiente eran encantadores y acogedores, un montón de opciones en el menú y toda nuestra comida era buenas porciones abundantes y muy sabroso - todo el personal que trató con nosotros era agradable y servicial y nuestro servidor Nell era excelente tanto en calidad de servicio y personalidad - sin duda volvería!

Only had a drink the staff and the setting were perfect

Great little pub, fantastic atmosphere, good luck finding space!

My husband and I decided to splash out and treat ourselves to a night away in York whilst visiting the Christmas market. We paid £269 for a four poster double room at the Guy Fawkes Inn (including breakfast). On checking in our first disappointment was the view from the room. On the website it describes ‘an unrivalled view of York Minster’. Well, the view from our windows were just of white tarpaulin. Whilst I appreciate the Inn can’t control work being done on the building opposite, this should have been highlighted to us either before booking or before our stay. Part of the reason for choosing the room was because of the described views. Not only that but the room was considerably smaller than that shown on the website. There certainly wasn’t room for a sofa at the end of our bed! We also hardly slept a wink. The noise from the bar below was very disrupting. Whilst I appreciate it is a room in a pub, there were people shouting for over an hour. Then when the pub closed the staff were loudly clearing up, hoovering etc. When that noise had finished at around 11.30pm, the people in the room upstairs came back at 12pm and we could hear everything. Their footsteps were very loud on our ceiling, we could hear them talking and then they put the television on until after 1am. Furthermore, there is something that rattles in the room which kept waking us up (we think this was the mirror on top of the chest of drawers) and the window doesn’t close properly so all of the noise from the street is extremely loud (photo attached). So, overall, what was supposed to be a relaxing night away was an awful experience. We were expecting a lovely room where we could rest but this is far from it. Definitely not worth the money paid.

Mi marido y yo decidimos chapotear y disfrutar de una noche en York mientras visitábamos el mercado de Navidad. Pagamos £ 269 por una habitación doble con dosel en el Guy Fawkes Inn (incluyendo el desayuno). Al registrarnos nuestra primera decepción fue la vista desde la habitación. En el sitio web describe «una visión inigualable de York Minster». Bueno, la vista desde nuestras ventanas era de lona blanca. Aunque aprecio que el Inn no puede controlar el trabajo que se está haciendo en el edificio de enfrente, esto debería haber sido destacado a nosotros antes de reservar o antes de nuestra estancia. Parte de la razón para elegir la habitación era debido a las vistas descritas. No solo eso, sino que la habitación era considerablemente más pequeña que la que se muestra en el sitio web. Ciertamente no había espacio para un sofá al final de nuestra cama! Tampoco dormimos un ojo. El ruido de la barra de abajo era muy perturbador. Aunque aprecio que sea una habitación en un pub, hubo gente gritando durante más de una hora. Luego, cuando el pub cerró, el personal estaba limpiando ruidosamente, flotando, etc. Cuando ese ruido terminó alrededor de las 11. 30 pm, la gente en la habitación de arriba regresó a las 12 pm y pudimos escuchar todo. Sus pasos eran muy fuertes en nuestro techo, podíamos escucharlos hablar y luego pusieron la televisión hasta después de la 1 am. Por otra parte, hay algo que traquetea en la habitación que nos seguía despertando (creemos que este era el espejo en la parte superior de la cajonera) y la ventana no se cierra correctamente, así que todo el ruido de la calle es extremadamente fuerte (foto adjunta). Así que, en general, lo que se suponía que iba a ser una noche relajante fue una experiencia horrible. Estábamos esperando una habitación preciosa donde podríamos descansar, pero esto está lejos de ello. Definitivamente no vale la pena el dinero pagado.

We have been here many times for food, drinks and stayed in their fabulous rooms, drink selection is great, food is delicious, staff are very good, on this visit a member of the team called Dominic stood out above the others, friendly and helpful, excellent service.

Didn't stay at this pub only visited for food and drink ! But what a lovey historical place to eat & drink brilliant atmosphere old leather and oak seating ,lighting etc even guyfalks hat & cloak there for you to put on for photos !!.

Went 24/12/24. If you charge top dollar then it’s got to be good. Sadly it was average at best

I have eaten here before and the food was delicious, so whilst visiting with my friend suggested here ...oh my !! What a mistake I had fish butty ,my friend opted for the chargrilled chicken option ,both sandwiches were appalling mine was 2 greasy fish goujons sliced between 2 tiny slices of what I can only describe of what tasted like part baked doughy inedible bread my friends was even worse a slither of lettuce and barely any chicken in sight at almost £12 each this is unacceptable we also went for a portion of what was described as proper chips ,there was nothing proper about them they were pale insipid cheap frozen ones ,all together with a bottle of wine the bill was just under £57 ,none of us like to complain but when the waiter asked if it was all OK, we aired our disappointment, he said he would speak to the manager, but nobody came over ,so we just left £57 out of pocket with empty stomachs and feeling a tad robbed by guy fawkes

Big disappointment when our lunch order arrived. One sandwich was battered fish, and one was herb chicken. The two pieces of bread was dry with hard crusts, the chicken pieces were minute on the smallest piece of little gem lettuce with a Caesar dressing. The fish was unexeptional also on hard dry bread. The side dressing with each was a spoonful of wet oily rocket and grated carrot. We also ordered "proper chips". These were frozen. I'm sorry but for a central pub restaurant in York, charging £12 per sandwich and £5.50 for the chips they could have done much better. We also had a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio at £27.00. In total we spent £57.00. I am seriously not impressed. The staff were very nice and the pub has a good atmosphere. What a shame their food lets them down.

Birthday night away, we booked room 14, which was the suite, and as it turns out, the entire top floor . Very wonky walls, wonky floor, and very low ceilings, but that just adds to the experience . If going to an old city, don't stay in a bog standard hotel . Definitely try this for loads of character and history. Without a doubt one of the best places I've stayed 👌. Would 100% encourage people to stay here if they're not looking for the hum drum every day kind of place.

A must for dinner. Super staff. The pie is to die for. 3rd time esting here and next time in York will return.

Un pub encantador, hotel boutique para alojarse. Gran ambiente aquí y todo el personal encantador. Gracias... habitación súper, la comida genial y volveremos!

Tend to go once or twice a year, the last four years booking a table - some months ahead - for second week of December and asking for one of the two tables tucked in the back of the building by the window overlooking the rear courtyard. Always worked well. Did the same for yesterday but things went off the rails due to bad luck and a bit of staff stubborn jobsworthiness for good measure. Arrived a little early, our preferred/booked table wasn't available but one close by was. OK, we've arrived early, beggars can't be choosers, we'll take the other table. But then it swiftly transpired we were next to a table of about nine loud drunk male pensioners all shouting over each other and not really caring if the whole pub could hear. Unpleasant. Could barely talk amongst ourselves on our table. We were there in the restaurant to eat. Looked they were there just to drink. But then, ta da! The table we thought we booked became free, which would have been just that little bit shielded and more distant from the OAP yobs, but the staff wouldn't let us move saying the other table had a reservation on it. Yeah, ours probably! Could we not swop from the four seater table we were on to the four seater one that we reserved about three months ago and was now free ... then whoever else comes along later could have where we were sat? No. OK mate, tell you what, screw you then ... went to ASK restaurant round the corner instead. Spoilt the day out and left a sour impression of the place.

Gran edificio atmosférico, siempre venimos aquí cuando visitamos York. El pastel de carne y las salchichas de Toulouse eran fabulosas. Servicio excelente. El personal del bar es amable también aunque pub muy ocupado. Espero volver pronto.

Dije que era un muy buen pastel servido aquí, así que tenía uno, lo fue, fuimos en una noche ocupada sin reserva y se encontró una mesa para nosotros dos, no hay que esperar tanto más allá, las cervezas eran buenas solo tenía dos uno un excelente portero. . el pastel era de carne de res y cerveza con puré de mostaza, enorme bestia de un pastel, darle una oportunidad.

Great little pub, didn't get a chance to try the food but a drink and enjoying the decor was honestly enough for me. I'll have to return to try the food next!!

We are here at the moment for one night in room 9 above the beer garden as a birthday treat of my husband. We have called in a few times for a drink over the last few years as we absolutely love york. Room is just perfect, clean, tidy and so quirky and we love it, food was just divine, we had the steak and home made chips, just gorgeous. The service has been impeccable 💯 percent perfect and would like to say how wonderful all of the staff have been on a very busy Sunday. Looking forwards now to having a lovely relaxing evening in our lovely room with a brew and cake.

A great historic and atmospheric old pub with fantastic charm, staff and drinks selection.

Awful. Seated with my family inc x2 children at 5pm next to a 15 party of mixed couples absolutely off their faces. Aggressive and swearing, banging into chairs. Requested to be moved and it couldn’t be accommodated. Service was awful, waited 30 minutes for drinks to be taken. 45 mins until they arrived. Ruined our day.

Only ate there. It has a reputation for its pie choice on the menu. It was superb.

Had 2 excellent meals here. Congrats to the Chef. The service was prompt. Staff efficient & friendly. A Cosy historic pub. Glad I found it near The Shambles.

Long wait time for two glasses of wine. Waiter dropped one of the bread rolls for our prawn starter en route. Hugely overcooked steak and ale pie encrusted in rock solid pastry with molten hot insides. Lamb shoulder arrived as a single slice with semi-raw potatoes, very bland. Quality of food is certainly not reflected in the pricing. Clearly a gimmick played up to by Guy Fawkes’ birth in the inn. We complained to the staff, before being met by the kitchen manager who looked ready argue her menu to the death. She huffed and puffed our way through our very diplomatic answer as to why we didn’t want to pay £60+ before saying that they had sold numerous pies that day and that no one else had complained. She kept attempting to imply we wanted 50% off, though we never mentioned anything of the sort, as we merely mentioned over and over that the food didn’t match the pricing. Naturally we hoped she’d use her customer service skills to help find a happy medium as we were starting to feel a little cornered. Manager was very defensive and went on to ask why we didn’t send anything back, but the truth is we didn’t want to waste food, nor were we checked on by waiting staff. Our opinions felt unheard and invalid, as we were made to feel as if we were lying. Disappointing service on my 30th birthday meal and first visit to York.

Brilliant experience, lovely staff, great beers, very historic, interesting, every person within very impressed with the place, well worth a visit

Didn't stay here, but popped in for a few drinks. Very olde worlde, but very easy on the eye. Birth place of Guy Fawkes and full of charm, beer selection was good as were the gins.

Just a quick drink this time although have stayed several times in previous years. Great authentic atmosphere and some well kept beers. You mustn't miss this place if in York.

Just had a pint, but the beer was awful, should have taken back, it was so flat, and it was black sheep. Which is usually a good pint.

We arrived in good time for our booking . We were booked in promptly and lead to our table and a drinks order again taken promptly. We placed our food order within 10 minutes of arrival. That is where promptness ends with the waitress coming back to check our order 40 minutes later, no apology and we had to ask why. The answer was they had not processed the order through properly so it had not got through to the kitchen. We asked how long now we would need to wait , we were told within 20 minutes. A table who placed an order which included pies which according to the menu take 30 minutes ,received their order while we were still waiting . One of the meals being something which was on our order. The waitress came to clean the table next to ours , still no update on our order so we advised we were cancellling as an hour had then passed. We paid for the drinks which at that point the waitress offered an apology, however it was too late. We left , our excitement of having a meal in such an historical establishment totally extinguished by the experience received.

Quaint resturant. Staff very friendly and described the menu accurately The best steak and ale pie, ever. Crust thin and meat tender and seasoned to perfection. The cauliflower risotto was yummy and maybe one of the best that I have ever had

I had dinner here on a chilly August evening with my mom. My mom is very particular about food. She wants good quality food but not a lot of fuss that comes with a fancy restaurant. This place was perfect. It is casual but the food was delicious. I ordered the steak and ale pie and my mom had the cauliflower risotto. The steak and ale pie with mash potatoes was the most delicious meal I have eaten in all of England! I highly recommend it.

Sunday lunch was delicious with brilliant service from the excellent Camilla who gave us extra horseradish and plenty of jokes!

Booked last minute, stayed in room 1 which was spacious and comfy,and exceptionally clean, fantastic location. Didn't use the restaurant. Staff were all very lovely and happy to help. Would stay again.

Great location and a lovely tourist pub.

Nice little boozer,close to York minster.Was inquisitive after reading the plaque on the wall so decided to take a look inside.Very pleasant pub,friendly staff and a place to sit and enjoy a pint in the back courtyard.

A pub which is the birthplace of guy fawkes. Great location in the Centre of York. The pub itself had plenty of character and used to have the unique feature of gas lighting. However these weren’t lit tonight. It has a great selection of real ales and has Estrella on tap for none ale lovers. Awesome pub

My feelings about my stay here are complicated but I can recommend for travellers prizing period charm and location over luxury amenities.

I was delighted by the unusual styling and attention to detail in the inn. Breakfast was fantastic. Staff friendly. We stayed in room 4, a four poster with view of Minster. It wasn’t the largest room but was comfortable.

Can't understand all the hype about this restuarant. Atmosphere was ok but food average and totally overpriced. Glad we took the cheapest options on the menu. I had a chicken tikka burger which was just a couple of bits of fried chicken on a bun with heaps of mayonnaise and a small amount of salad. Husband had the feta/celeriac burger which had the same on it. Both served with chips. Meal average. I had wondered about the fish pie but so glad I didn't. At £22 it was served in a small metal dish with what I took to be the most minute serving of peas on the side. I was embarrassed for the American couple who ordered it. Totally overpriced. Would certainly not eat here again.

We took 3 rooms and stated here with family it is a very quirky hotel that uses gas lights it has atmosphere and has a resident ghost the room are clean staff good I did experience a ghost maybe but I stayed in the courtyard room which I did not know at the time was the place where guy fawkles was born has a good stay breakfast was b Mnmmm Giorgio vbbvdff

Partner ordered the fish pie. Myself, the risotto, with sides of fries/chips. Meat pie was served instead of fish pie. Rather than let the risotto go cold, partner ‘continued’ with the pie - as we had a one hour slot to free up the table. Chips/fries were needed to be asked for. No mid meal enquiry from staff to enquire if food/everything was ‘okay’ / more drinks required. Poor service for such an expensive meal. Won’t return in a hurry.

Popped in for a bite to eat at lunchtime shared two starters and fries.Everything was lovely especially the black pudding and chorizo scotch egg. Had a sun trap seat outside so had the bonus of topping up our tans too.

This interesting restaurant is in a building on the site of the place where Guy Fawkes was born and adjacent to the church where he was Christened. The headings on the menu give a quirky reminder of the connection. During our stay in York, we ate here twice. The food was tasty and the portions were ample. The service was efficient and friendly.

The hotel was full of character, the rooms were cozy and well equipped with everything you would need and the bed was so comfy. The food was like you were eating at a 5* restaurant, and the staff were amazing and very friendly, and nothing was too much trouble for them. Will definitely be staying again and would highly recommend.

Amazing central place to stay about a 5 minute walk from the Shambles. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The rooms are comfortable, spacious and clean and the breakfast was delicious. I would 100% recommend staying here and I'll definitely be returning.

Super great location in an authentic historical inn. Easy to find, and lovely and friendly staff members. The staff carried our luggage right up to our rooms. I would gladly stay here again.

The staff was fabulous. They got anything you asked for quickly and with a smile. Inn was very interesting and unique. Meals were delicious and the location could not have been better.

Lovely meal! The pie (was quite pricey) but amazing- a proper pie! Polite staff. Timothy Taylor beer on hand pump added to the enjoyment.

I had read about their famous steak pie and took my partner for his birthday. We had a special meal booked for the night so shared a pie but it was fabulous. The pub itself is a nice atmosphere, good music playlist and right by York Minster. Lovely pub, lovely pie!

Incredible location, history in every crooked floorboard, professional and friendly service. Looking forward to staying here again next time in York.

Gorgeous beer garden at the back. Lovely place..

The reviews seemed pretty positive so we decided to give this place a try on a recent visit to York and were glad we did. A little cramped and somewhat dim and dingy but that was all part of the experience. We both opted for the steak pie and were suitably impressed - tasty and packed with meat. Not often we don't have room for a sweet but this was one of those times! Swift, friendly service and a nice atmosphere as well. Really enjoyed our visit and would definitely return.

Not bad priced drinks compared to other pubs in the city. Right next to the Minster so great location. Would definitely recommend

The menu here is priced a little higher than comparable places, and I did not think the food was overly convincing. I've had a better meal at Eagle & Child up the road for example. In terms of the pub itself, its done out in traditional style but feels somewhat fake compared to the places on, say, High Petergate (any of which I would go to ahead of this one). Perhaps to an overseas visitor they won't detect that, but for me it lacked a bit of authenticity.

It's an ancient building so don't expect all the mod cons. Wonky floors, staircases etc. but it's immaculate. Couldn't be better positioned. View from the room is stunning. Staff are all super, food and drinks are all very good. Would definitely come back.

The Room had views of York minster next door which was delightful, located on the edge of the centre of York Guy Fawkes Inn is perfectly located, quiet at night and everywhere in walking/staggering distance, the decor is a nod to the buildings history and heritage and full of character with all the rooms named after a conspirator of the gun powder plot. We parked at monks bar car park and was quoted £88 for 2 days, which is extortionate price by York council, top tip is pay daily instead of all in one go we ended up paying £40 that way.

Great rustic historic Inn right in the centre of the city

Location, history and ambience are all five star in this quirky wonder of an inn - and it also served up the best food we had in our four days in York. Clever decor which references Guy Fawkes without being twee, a supremely comfortable bed, a bar and restaurant full of atmosphere and friendly service throughout our stay all combined to make our mini break something very special indeed. The inn also links to a walking tour of York with the entertaining and encyclopedic Dave Hawes - which we joined on our first morning and which set our stay in York off to the best possible start.

The shower in our room was cold and wouldn’t turn up in the evening, but was warm in the morning.🤷‍♂️ slight noisy in evenings from the courtyard. Room 12.

Pity they no longer have the gas lighting it definitely added to the atmosphere

Great location and friendly, helpful staff but the rooms need a major update as in our room there were cracked tiles, ill fitting toilet seat and it felt worn out in every way. Also was very noisy after about 5.30am with constant footsteps from above so more sound proofing would be helpful.

Went in for a drink, very fishy smell om entering the building. Had to wait to be served even though no one else was waiting at the bar. Barman poured one drink, noticed a problem with the glass and just tipped it straight into another, resulting in large head on it, my wife then had to wait for it to settle, no offer of a top up, i had found a seat and she said she didn't like to ask. Nearly £14 for 2 pints of lager. Won't t be back in a hurry. No atmosphere, it was like a library with people just sitting in silence. Shame as we had been loking forward to going because of the history.

Amazing stay, wonderful wonky in period rooms, Fantastic restaurant and breakfast is gut busting ! Wishing we could come back tomorrow

We stayed for two nights at the Guy Fawkes Inn last week and we absolutely loved our stay, so much so that we're already looking at booking another trip in the future! We booked a deluxe double room and stayed in room 1, Thomas Percy. The room was clean and well looked after as well as being comfortable. The bed was quite squeaky so maybe bear this in mind if you're a light sleeper or move around a lot in the night but this wasn't a problem for us as we fell asleep straight away thanks to the comfy bed. The bathroom was very clean and well looked after as well. The only issue we did encounter is that the morning after our first night, our shower was only running cold water. However, after letting the staff member know this was dealt with promptly and she was very apologetic. These things happen and we only had to wait a little while before we had hot water again so I wouldn't want to mark them down for this especially because of the efficiency in which it was solved. The service we received during our stay was amazing with all the staff we met being so friendly and attentive. Our booking included breakfast as well and I genuinely haven't been able to stop thinking about the breakfast. It was absolutely amazing and the system they have in place works really well. You fill out what you'd like for breakfast the night before as well as the time, so that when you go down for breakfast there is no deciding what you want which also means you get to enjoy the delicious food a lot quicker! The portion size was really good as well so it kept me going until dinner. We also dined in their restaurant on our second night and it definitely lived up to the hype we had seen online! We both had the steak pie and I can definitely understand why they say it is their famous steak pie. It was delicious and we noticed the tables around us that had also had the pie were saying the same thing. The portion was really generous as well so although it may seem expensive, we felt it was definitely worth it. The staff were lovely and helpful as well and couldn't have been more attentive to our table which we really appreciate The location overall was amazing as well, it's right opposite York Minster so you're literally in the middle of everything. All of the places we visited were pretty much within 10 minutes walking distance so it was a prime place to stay. I would really recommend staying here if you're looking for a place to stay in York, and if not I'd definitely recommend eating here! We really enjoyed our stay and cannot thank the team enough for their warm welcome!

Great location however there was no hot water and the wifi didn’t work at all leaving a lot of room for improvement

Very good food and very pleasant staff.went on Mothering Sunday so was full but did spoil the experience.just across the road from the Minsterso made a intresting day.

Great pub. Didn't have food but the restaurant looked nice and was very busy.

Popped in for a drink, charming place lovely staff, great find

Great pub.Lovely friendly staff. Food was excellent and reasonably priced.

Interesting restaurant in heart of York. Food was great. After dinner cocktails need some work. Staff a little overbearing at times.

If you are planning to stay here, do not let them allocate you to either room 11 (Guy Fawkes) or room 12 (Robert Keyes), unless you like a lot of noise, that is. Both are ground floor rooms opening directly onto the courtyard at the rear where diners and drinkers and loud music will continue until around 11-30pm and, if you are unlucky like we were, staff will then carry on chatting and laughing loudly until about 1am. Arrived on a Friday tired from work, left Sunday afternoon even more tired. Relaxing it wasn't. Real shame because the staff were great, the place is lovely and you absolutely can't get a better location in the heart of the old town, right next to York Minster. I would stay again but definitely not in either of those rooms: be warned!

Lovely room, lovely people, lovely location in a lovely city.

One of my favourite pubs in York. Is not a cheap choice but the courtyard is lovely and heaters/blankets are available. Proper lovely pub, nice drink selection, menu and location is incomparable. Staff are always lovely and professional.

Went for Sunday roast dinner. When the server asked us how it was? I pointed at the pile of fat that I'd removed from the beef, to which she replied "That's the best bit". Admittedly it's the first time I'd spent as much as £22 on a roast dinner in a pub, but for that price I'd kind of assumed that the best bit might not be the mound of inedible rubbery fat and gristle that I'd painstakingly removed and left on the side of the plate to go in the bin. 1 small carrot on a pile of green beans seemed a bit basic for the veg too at that price.

Beautiful historical pub located close to Minster. Comfy seating 💺

Excellent choice of drinks from real ales to cocktails, service was brilliant. Superb settings and fantastic atmosphere

I really enjoyed my stay at the Guy Fawkes Inn. I love the decor and the atmosphere. The room I had reserved exceeded my expectations and made my weekend extra special. Being right beside the York Minster also makes it an ideal location. The staff were all super nice and helpful as well. Would definitely stay there again if I go back to York and can highly recommend to others.

Had a wonderful stay. My room was cozy and well situated. Great service at both the bar and restaurant. Food was delicious. Great visit

We had a family lunch in the restaurant and it was fantastic. The staff were freindly and very helpful (we were a group of 10). The food was melt in your mouth delicious and all 10 of us loved what we had. Would highly recommend , but book ahead - it was busy. Location is right next to York Minster, ideal place to stop for lunch on our tour of the city.

If I lived nearer I'd celebrate Guy Fawkes much, much more regularly. The ales exploded my taste beer buds like a rocket, fireworks going off left, right and centre. This pub is a banger. Just needed to meet someone in there called Catherine Wheel to make my day complete.

Was a lovely pub and hotel .we only had drinks there but was lovely

Horrible meals! They even managed to burn the bread meant for the most cheap chicken liver from budget supermarkets. You'll be even more surprised by the price, actually, just for heating up frozen food. Definitely should avoid this food point.

Visited for lunch, and also an evening drink. Friendly staff, very helpful, good pub food

We ate at the restaurant, so I can't comment on the rooms. But what can I say... The best pie I've ever had and I don't say that lightly. Absolutely beautifully home made and well filled. I must commend the chef very highly. The service was on point, polite and attentive. We were welcomed on arrival and departure. All in all very impressed all round. Thank you.

Great pub to visit in York with Guy Fawkes history.

Just had a beer as well known location

Not the cheapest place to eat, but a nice setting, good service and good food. The staff were polite and helpful. Almost gave it five stars but one of our desserts and the high prices let it down a little. Definitely worth a visit when in York though and we would definitely go back.

A bit cramped at times, but cosy. Definitely worth a visit.

Genuinely nice pub with the bar segregated from the dining making it that much easier to relax. No loud music either. Food was good, service was fast and we will definitely return next time we are in York. Had expected it to be far busier as other pubs were but it seems the early evening had merely filled this establishment not overwhelmed it. Perfect when you want to hear yourselves think.

Came here for a bite to eat after seeing a youtube review and all 4 of us were very satisfied with the food as well as the service and overall atmosphere. I went with the bacon burger which was really delicious and after trying a little of the fish too I was also very impressed. Would definitely return again given the opportunity and I would highly recommend

We visited on Monday 29th January at 4.15pm for a meal after being recommended by a friend, the previous day we had had a look at the menu displayed at the front entrance advertising a 2 course menu for £22 if you dined before 5pm. On entering the restaurant we got welcomed by lovely smartly dressed staff that showed us to a table, we were the only customers in the restaurant apart from a casually dressed woman working on a laptop at a table. When the menu was presented to us it didn’t show the 2 course set menu so I enquired with the waitress and she told me that was an old offer from last year! I explained we had seen it on entering the restaurant and that’s why we had decided to eat there on that day and time. She apologised and said it shouldn’t be displayed at the entrance anymore. She then went to tell the lady working on the laptop that “ we really need to get that menu changed at the front entrance “ to which the laptop women replied “yes yes we are working on a new one” We both ordered the steak pie that was absolutely delicious and all the waiting staff we had contact with were friendly well presented and professional at all times. During the hour we sat in the restaurant the woman on the laptop wearing scruffy high top trainers and a striped t. Shirt dress proceeded to use the restaurant as a staff room speaking to 3 different members of staff about working practices within the establishment. She did not acknowledge our presence at all, I can only presume she was a member of staff maybe even a supervisor? The whole ambiance of the place and our dining experience was ruined by the presence of this woman, I’m sure an office or staff room would be more conducive to carry out staff issues etc? On leaving the Guy Fawkes Inn the out of date menu was still displayed at the entrance! With the importance of her work needing to be done in such a public area she couldn’t manage to either remove the out of date menu or ask a member of staff to do so or apologise to us the customer or just honer the false advertising? This one member of staff is letting the other members of staff down.
