Quakerwood in York

Used be a great ale house. Now they don't know how to keep beer. Service is so slow even if no one is in . And don't get me started on the food.

Had a great meal with great service

Our local pub. Always a good place to come for some weekday food after work. Food always good, good prices, service is fast and staff are lovely. We like the 2 classics for £13.49 deal midweek.

Came here on Saturday the 15th to celebrate my niece and nephew 18th. Lovely family atmosphere, made to feel welcome. Food was good, and we all enjoyed what we ordered, and the desert that the two boys ordered looked tasty. We were going to leave however a lovely member of staff called Bex came over and said a Pink tribute was starting and really accommodated us with adding extra chairs and a table, thank you to other members of staff who helped assist with that to. Bex was helpful with the drinks menu ( we don't go out often haha) she made our nieces 18th celebrations even better with her expertise in the drinks menu and also bringing birthday shots, thank you. We had a absolute blast that night and that was down to the excellent customer service and going beyond, I heard Bex say its her job, well you made our night and one a 18year old won't forget, thank you. We live quite far from the Quakerwood, but have decided we will definitely return for a meal as a family again and have planned another birthday celebration. Thank you to the wonderful stuff who make the pub what is, we were all so comfortable there and are looking forward to visiting again. Once again massive shout out to Bex fantastic customer service.

Fab night for my daughters 18th, only came for food and a few drinks but Bex went above and beyond to make sure she had a great time sorting out a table for us to enjoy the live music aswell

"What a great place to enjoy a tasty meal and a good drink! It's always quiet and calm, making it a nice spot to relax. The staff is very friendly and polite, always happy to help. I will definitely keep coming back!"

Lovely lady behind the bar, very helpful and cheerful. The food between 3 of us was great, good meal deals Shows sports for sport lovers and will show up to 3 different channels for those that enjoy it.

Great staff and great food. Many thanks.

Class night, thanks to Cain and Oscar charity, highly recommended doing it again to raise money for the charity and the bar

I come in here every now and then and I have to say every time I do Jack has always been amazing! Fantastic customer service and such a joyful character. Thank you for the customer service you have continuously given myself and my family.

We came in as a family, ordered a good amount of food—a lot of meat and mixed bites. The staff were really friendly, the food came out fast and piping hot, and it was delicious.! Even the chiled was digging in whud highly recomend for a bite to eat and a drink

Great choice of foods at reasonable prices. Could be more choice for vegetarians. Staff really friendly and helpful.

Everything was perfect. Massive space for car parking. Good place to hang out with mates, family, and lovers.

Booked a table. Very nice welcome and service. Food ordered on the app and at the table very quickly. Food very good. Ash was great.

Great place to go, mixed platters are superb. Saturday 28/01/24 Make a wish day @ the Quackerwood.

Pretty good. Stevie was an amazing server!

Bogof deal is great and team are super friendly

Staff always polite And work hard

Been here twice now and both times the staff have been cheerful & friendly. The food was spot on, quality for the price. Going to be out go to for a cheap but tasty meal out in future

Thank you Stevie for a wonderful Christmas meal! Excellent service well done everyone and Happy New Yesr!

Very nice festive meal. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Pub is very popular and lucky we had booked a table. Thank you to everyone

Lovely comfortable pub where you are made to feel right at home, the staff are fabulous and very attentive, brilliant night on a Thursday for quiz definitely get your selves down! 100% worth it!

Very nice place. Always call in for lunch when I'm working in the area. Staff very polite. Food good

Unfortunately myself did not like the vegetarian options available.. They could be better and served better rather than on trays. On our birthday trip there we found service slow but friendly when our food arrived... I doubt I shall return there again has its not my kind of eating place. York does offer better pub food even for vegetarians and atmosphere.

Rotten steak on my mixed grill wasn’t the best of experiences. How the chef didn’t smell it is beyond me. When we brought it to the attention of the waitress she was also shocked at the pungent smell. A free desert is what was offered a joke really. I ate some of my sausage and a bit of gammon and I had stomach issues for 24 hours. I think this place needs a visit from health and safety

A lovely Christmas meal, turkey was succulent, and the rest was just as good. Thank you Jack G and becs for lovely service.

Always a warm welcome, great atmosphere and fab food from the team at the Quakerwood. Staff are attentive without being overbearing, service is fast even when the team are having a busy day and quality of experience does not waver.

Staff seemed uninterested. Had plates on the table for at least 30 minutes after eating. They were not busy. Had to go up to the bar and ask that the table gets cleared

The food was really good and the young guy called Ash was very good and polite A bit more training is needed for the young girl behind the bar she didnt know how to deal with my Greene King gift card and gave me half a shandy when i asked for half a coors lager even though she charged me for lager Otherwise an enjoyable experience

**A Heartwarming Evening at Quakerwood** Quakerwood is more than just an English pub—it’s a haven of care and kindness. While enjoying their delicious shepherd’s pie by the fire, an extraordinary moment unfolded. My poor dog, Philip, who had been missing and gravely ill, suddenly stumbled through the doors. Before I could react, Bexs, the pub’s incredible general manager, leapt into action. With calm expertise, she rallied the staff, gathering warm towels, water, and scraps from the kitchen, nursing Philip back to life. Thanks to Bexs’ compassion and quick thinking, Philip recovered, and I experienced the true heart of Quakerwood. It’s not just a pub—it’s a place where community and care come alive.

I went there 3 years ago and I had food in there and the starter made my younger brother feel ill and it made him food poisoning and I can’t cooperate with the people who made that food but I can’t what it looks like but it’s like chicken but unseasoned and chips was hot but lucky I didn’t get any of that chicken and neither did my mum my dad and my sister but we can tell it wasn’t cooked properly but my brother didn’t know and as he ate it he throw up everywhere as I got home and it fears me out and the drinks wasn’t that good and it was my cousin’s christening at the same time and most kids ate them and got ill as well

Arrived today about 2pm (Saturday). Not busy. No lemonade or coke on draft, not too much of an issue. But glass bottles of coke were flat and warm. Food took a while to arrive. 2 gammon meals, 1 hunters chicken and 2 kids pastas. Not sure if the girl serving was new but seemed very nervous putting plates on table. Gammon was OK, hardly any chips with any of the adults meals, peas on the meals were cold. Chicken was dry. Kids were served raw pasta and burnt garlic bread. Sent back and fresh meal brought out although the pasta wasn't much better than the first lot but garlic bread was better. Girl serving did keep apologising. Not her fault when she's not the chef. What a shame. Won't be returning.

Always busy so clearly doing something right. Sports type pub with weekly entertainment and average food that you'd expect for the price.

Friendly staff. Food was lovely and good value for money. Jack G was attentive and friendly.

Long wait for deserts, Biscof cheesecake was awful, very dry and didn't taste like cheesecake, well past its use by date i think, the adults brownie was not much bigger than the kids size, with a big price difference, total waste of money on deserts!

Gambler 2 known by staff as gambler 4 wasn't in service even though it's my favourite. The other 4 gamblers ripped all my life savings away. Also spilt a pint on myself in disgust of the machines absolute rippiniess. But overall a good local pub. (Gamblers beware)

Food good enough for price, good service and cheap enough beer

Jack was very polite and 5 star service

Amazing manager So enthusiastic and hard working

Food with family. Good choice and value for money.

Stevie very helpful and obliging, during our meal outside with our dogs.

Pretty good all round. The staff were friendly and helpful and took care of us.

Rubbish to noisy and have to wait over an hour for your food

Great place, nice food, value for money.

Lovely couple of hours here. Staff brilliant and food was excellent. I had the Southern Fried chicken skewer and the others had the Cheesy BBQ stack burgers. Would definitely come here again!

Got served by Austin and he was amazing. Great quality of service

Great local pub, relaxed atmosphere, not too loud. Tables are well spread out. Great menu and friendly and helpful staff. Not alot of pie choices. No chicken pie for example. They don't have chilli con carne on the menu which I certainly would have gone for if they had it.

My waiter Austin gave me great service and all of it was great the food was great the atmosphere was great

Would not have feed Hunters chicken to my dog never again

Easy to find a table , got served straight away when ordering, a pleasant girl called austin brought on meals quickly + was very Friendly, came over again to ask is everything OK, enjoyed our meals, we could also take our dog in.

It was super yummy but took a long time to get to the table

We often have lunch at the QuakerWood and find the staff are always welcoming, helpful and efficient.

Nice food for the price, friendly staff and quick service

Lovely food and good service from Ash. Good value too

Love this place, good food, friendly staff, Ash is a great asset to the Quakerwood.

Excellent staff, very friendly with great service and the atmosphere of the place itself is fantastic.

Here for the Euros and had a great time, great atmosphere and won 6 drinks in the half time draw! My burger was a bit burnt but food usually good. Would recommend.

Eaten here a few times and can't fault the food or the staff. There's also toys hanging around for little ones to play with. Prices are decent and overall just a lovely place to pop in. They also allow dogs which is a massive bonus

Such a fun happy place, happy staff who look like they actually want to work! Will be returning Thanks guys!

Amazing food child friendly, bex has transformed the pub, good for sports too!

Good food at a reasonable price.

There are clearly regulars that attend this pub and they were served first both times I went to the bar even though I was clearly first. One lad on the till a lot of the time. I ordered a kids burger with beans for one child. The beans were over-microwaved and not eaten. I ordered a kids steak dinner with no onions. The steak came in a bed of onions. She doesn’t like onions. My dinner came when I was at the toilet and the table two along said it was theirs so they ate it. I chased my food up and explained where it had gone. They apologised and after a while they brought my food. I got chicken wings and they were quite nice.

Great food and excellent service - we booked a table for 6pm Friday night for 3 of us and we were swiftly seated with food and drink arriving quickly. We had the slow rib, tandoori chicken burger and hunters chicken. All great and left us feeling very full. Everything was super tasty, big portions, great value for money. All the staff are lovely and welcoming too. Very family and dog friendly. First time visit and we will be back!

I ordered a XL mixed grill what I got was anything but grilled. The salad must have sitting in the kitchen for two days. It was rank and it stank. The gammon was just salt shaped like meat. The chicken could not be seen and I’m sure was microwaved from frozen. The steak was allegedly 8oz of which 9oz was fat and grizzle. The sausage was obviously leftover from yesterday and dried well. No sign of onion rings. The fried onions were just mush. All that was swimming in oil. I don’t think their chef understands the meaning grilled. I never send food back known what can happen to food the arrives back. Overall, totally disgusting, not an experience I care to repeat.

Friendly and nice staff. Felt happy there with two children and a puppy.

Nice place, friendly staff , food came fast , chicken buger was a bit dry, hubbies steak and ale pie was great !

Could not fault welcome, staff very busy as bank holiday but wait for food was very long and some of it was dry. Sauces not topped up and tables sticky. Had to ask for serviettes. Disappointing as had heard really good reports.

Had a beautiful meal at Quaker wood .i had mixed grill and my hubby had a burger 🙌🏻 .staff are very friendly pub itself is beautiful with a friendly atmosphere. Here on holiday for week in our caravan which was 5 minutes from our site.

Great service such friendly staff and had a great time especially bex an Jack always have a smile

Ordered bacon cheese burger meal requested no bread bun arrived 30 mins later, no bacon small amount of chips, thought maybe they would of least given a bit of salad considering I forfeited the bun. The burger however was very tasty..

Popped in for a drink and food after a walk. Very friendly staff, quick to get food out, which hit the spot!

Decent pub. Good atmosphere. Child and dog friendly

A few noisy people,but it is a sports pub.

Waited 2 hours for food and was told it hadn’t even been started yet then asked for the manager and got laughed at. Never coming back here again.

Absolutely shocking service, second time we’ve been now as a family and been let down. Ordered food two hours ago, then asked at the bar how long it would be. To be told it hadn’t even been started, complained to the manager and was laughed at. Won’t be coming here again, pub has gone so downhill.

We were a table of 6. When we ordered our food we were told we would be waiting 30 minutes, which was not a problem, we were fine to wait. When food arrived 45 minutes later, they brought 4 and a half of the meals out, we were told we would be waiting another 2 minutes while we waited for one of the Gammon Steaks and the rest of one of the other meals, well we waited and it did not arrive until everyone else had finished eating. Absolutely awful. Half of the food was cold. Would not go back again. Ever.

We came today for lunch and a couple of drinks, food was lovely, really good value for money staff were polite, couldn’t fault anything really and will be back!

Lovely family friendly pub. With great choice of food

Food was brilliant and value for money

Visited on Tuesday evening was very surprised by the quality of food Thanks to Danny and Tyler as I asked Shannon who served us what the chefs names were they deserve to be commended , Shannon was polite and very accommodating nothing was to much trouble service with a smile very impressed indeed will be coming again what a great team you have Quaker wood ! Thanks again.

We have enjoyed our meals every time we've visited Quakerwood York, the Rib of Beef is to die for, the staff are very professional and friendly. We travel to York from Grimsby on a regular basis to visit our Daughter and always have Lunch in the Quakerwood. We fully recommend it.

Spot on cracking food the service is 2nd to none worth a visit

Nice family oriented pub with good food, can get a little noisy at times but otherwise well worth a visit.

Compared to other pubs the prices are very reasonable. The staff are always welcoming and attentive. The food was decent for the price.

Recently attended a charity event for ‘make a wish’ at Quakerwood. It was a wonderfully organised event for a great cause! The pub had been decorated beautifully and the kids loved it, there was a kids mini disco which was fantastic and 4 x princesses that were magical! A lot of effort had been put into the event and you could certainly tell! They raised over £950 and had some fantastic raffle prices on offer too! The kids face painting was a hit and my daughter had a magical afternoon! I would have paid admission for such a fun event in the future 😉

I love this place, staff are lovely and food is delicious 👍

The staff and food here are fabulous

Cocktails were beautiful staff friendly and efficient we did not have food as we were meeting family for dinner but the menu looked good

The Quakerwood is our local and I often go with friends and family. The place has been transformed since Bex took over as manager, the pub is now a community venue for live entertainment, family events such as Easter & Halloween parties for the kids and many charity fundraisers etc. The staff are all brilliant and work really hard to accommodate everyone’s needs. Food has improved massively. We love it! Thanks Bex & Team Quaker ♥️

Our permanent place for tasty dinners

We are locals at this pub and every time they never fail to impress. From the bar staff to the food always 10/10. We decided to do something different this Christmas and booked in with the Quakerwood. The food was lovely and the staff again didn’t fail to put a smile on our faces. Thank you for always making us feel welcome.

Can't really rate it as we only went in for a gift voucher

Had the most amazing Christmas Dinner tonight with my friend. 3 course meal for such a great price. Absolutely lovely meal. All staff are amazing, we are regulars here but tonight they really did put on a fantastic service. Special thanks to Sarah who went above & beyond to make our night extra special. Merry Christmas to all the Quakerwood team. Thankyou Nicky & Cat ... table 16

Truly awful. The menus, tables, floor, crockery and cutlery were sticky and dirty. Our mains appeared before the starters. The one dessert we ordered never turned up. The food is bad. The only food that appeared fresh was the battered chicken strips, probably because the turnaround is high given that the majority of the menu involves chicken strips. The side salad was not fresh and quite frankly, rank. My chips were soggy and lukewarm. I also had the pleasure of lukewarm nacho cheese sauce which was basically a cheese flavoured gloop. I could have complained at the time but looking at the state of the place I couldn't see the point. The place needs a good steam clean and new management. I never expected 5 star cuisine but this was terrible.

Fantastic festive family get together for seventeen of us this afternoon. Fabulous food and admiral service from the staff who coped well with our large party. The festive burger with half a melted Camembert was amazeballs! Highly recommended and exceptional value.

Amazing place with an amazing team, food is quality as well... Cannot knock the service and Christmas burger is to die for !!!

Wasn't expecting much as was only given negative impression.....pleasantly surprised....nice pub, comfortable and very clean.....

Average quality of food, multiple errors with trying to order, then overcharged, glassware was dirty, atmosphere spoiled by abusive youths

We booked our table and was quickly taken to our seat, lots of areas to choose from with different sports on different tvs. The space on the table was pretty narrow though. Drinks were good, food was excellent! The food in question arrived quickly and as said, it was good food at a very affordable price, lots of choice and deals to choose from. 8/10 would go again.

Amazing food, good prices, lovely atmosphere.. definitely need a visit to see for yourself.
