Sociale in York

Well we thought we would give this a go.. we had heard some mixed reviews since it has opened but as its local we decided to give it a try on saturday night.. Ive got to say the food was excellent!! the service was great and we couldnt fault it at all.. price wise id say it was fair. worked out approx £25 per head taking into account starter / main / rice/ naan couple of drinks and pickle tray starter but id definitely say we will be going back!!

Very attractive outdoor area. Food ok. Service good

It’s a campus canteen so don’t come with expectations that don’t remember that point. That said, food is cooked and presented well beyond any canteen food I’ve ever experienced and the salad bar is by far the freshest, tastiest array of salad you’ll ever be served. Friendly staff too. Enjoy!

The Exhibition is a grand old pub dating from 1702 that is situated on a very busy junction opposite Bootham Bar in York. As you enter up the steep couple of steps you are greeted by dark and atmospheric front room which is split by the central bar, it's a mish mash of Victorian and Art Deco with every single bit of wall space occupied with old photos, paintings, brasses and other Breweriana. There are wood panels, glowing yellow lighting and rich dark red ceiling which envelops you into the cosy space. There's so much to take in, especially the Art Deco stained glass panels and large fireplace, you'd almost be distracted from the offerings behind the bar. Which are not the most exciting but there's at least usually a couple of beers from Brew York, Black Sheep and Timothy Taylors, all priced at the usual City centre prices. Where The Exhibition really excels is it's outside space, if you follow your way around to the back of the bar and down a fairy light lit corridor it opens out first into a large conservator which is used for group bookings and then out into what is clearly the biggest and best Beer Garden in York! A beautifully secluded long yard with mature plants and great vintage wall art throughout. The only slight let down is the rather Victorian toilets which could probably do with a bit of an update but otherwise this is a very much overlooked pub that is superb in Summer and would be nice and welcoming inside any time of the year.

He disfrutado mucho de mi cena aquí, está situado en Churchill Hotel, todo muy acogedor, y hay una gran ventana con vistas a un pequeño jardín trasero, eso es precioso. La comida era fabulosa, mejor de lo que esperaba en realidad, y todo el personal del hotel y el restaurante era muy hospitalario. No me decepcionó y lo esperamos para una segunda visita.
