SPARK:York CIC in York

Great place to host a meeting, whilst eating and drinking!

Loved it here great idea,food and drink was superb,so much choice and brilliant for small businesses.

Great places to eat lots of choice and great service.

10/10. Tried loads of food from different vendors and cannot fault a single one. Each dish was unreal. Would 100% recommend and return. The amaretto sour is possibly the best I’ve ever tasted!!

Great location, good selection of good and drinks. Only complaint is that the place opens early but all food vendors don't open until midday ish and none advertise opening times.

Wow came across this place by accident after having lunch at the shambles. I wish we came here first. They do table service and the choice is great they also have great music playing. We will eat here again.. and again and again.

Brilliant choice of food and drink! Great friendly atmosphere! Recommend to try when in York! I had the Indian food, masala chips are my go to!

crazy good food, the chimichurri from vovo is insanely good with their coxinha de frango

Nice area for street food and drinks in the evening. You can pay through QR code.

Brilliant concept with something for everyone.

Great place all round. Great choice of food and drink, great atmosphere and great service if you're happy to sit, relax and enjoy the company of those that you visit with.

Amazing atmosphere, amazing food!! Highly recommended 👍

I’ve been to spark multiple times now and everytime has been a great experience. There is a great range of foods across the stalls, as well as a variety of drinks you can order. You can order via a website from multiple stores and your food is brought to your table. There are plenty of tables spread across the food court, and also shutters if it rains which is always useful! Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area

What a brilliant place. Great choice of food. Good choice of drinks. I loved the basic layout and simple furnishings. The atmosphere was lively but friendly. I also love that using the app you can order from different outlets and just pay one bill.

Nice place for a drink and vegan junk food

Fabulous food and drink in a relaxed atmosphere. Visited on our break in York and wish we had something similar in portsmouth. We will definitely return.

Street food but spoilt for choice from several vendors - reaĺly popular so maybe plan your visit to make sure you can get a table

Quite a pricey place, but a lovely environment with an amazing range of food and drinks. Definitely recommended

Such a pleasant place with incredible vibes each & every time! All the choices on the menu are so difficult to decide between due to how good they all are!

We popped in after eating in York so only had drinks. Quite busy and decent atmosphere. It was quite a nice night so nice to sit out but would be a bit more miserable if raining and cold. Heaters help though. I had a good pint from Piccadilly Tap but the wife and daughter were disappointed with their Pimm's and cocktails from Spritz

Good, jus need more under cover seating

Excellent street food, limited seating available

Big vibes. Great space. Excellent food and drink choices. And a massive bonus for providing blankets

A lovely place for dinner with an incredibly unique vibe and variety. There is definitely a little bit of something for everyone here. Wait times can be long and you may struggle for a table at times, but this just goes to show how much the public appreciate the space of Spark.

I assume each food vendor is independent? We had some lovely food from an Italian place, and also some Asian food (2 dishes) one was ok, one was great. It's a great venue, I guess weather dependent. It was lovely when we were there We're tourists, the only reason we won't be back any time soon to try the other vendors!

I love places like this. Food good, service good, location good, everything good, even the toilets. Everything is perfect, you can order and then sit comfortably.

Pretty cool place, very niche food to get all in one central hub, all quality and lots of drinks served all outdoor seated.

Worst burrito I've ever had. Aranchini was okay. Pistacho tirramasu was banging though.

A touch on the pricey side, most food is decent enough but only seems a viable option on warm days as limited shelter. Great for a meal without booking or for fussy eaters requiring many options. Good service too.

Food and drink options could be better

Lots of seating, huge range of food and drink options available, good place to catch the sun, easy ordering system. Unfortunately the quality of the stall we ordered from, Boho Mixologists, affected our experience. Margarita tasted like watered down lime juice, glass was only half full, drink wasn’t cold, served with a wedge of browning lime in the drink, no salt rim, smudge and make up marks around the glass. The stall wasn’t busy, staff were spending time chatting to their friends on other tables. Probably the poorest cocktail I’ve had.

Great food selection and a lovely setting on a nice day! Ordering is done on your phone by scanning a QR code on the table, so you can browse the menus for all of the vendors before deciding, and order a selection from one or many of them. I had food from herbivorous - vegan mac & cheese and seitan chicken wings - which was lovely. Service is quick and the staff are friendly :)

Beaut of a spot for food, drinks, and enjoying the afternoon

Great food and lots of choice, easy payment system allows you to order from any vendor at the same time!

We hired the event room for an event with about 25 people. The room is fine, functional, nothing special, but everything was easy and everything around - food, drink, general atmosphere - worked really well. Staff are incredibly helpful and friendly.

We didn’t have food on this visit but the drinks and staff were amazing. Definitely returning when we visit again

Went to Vovo Brazilian Cantine and had Argentina-Picanhe £16.50 for a tray of cheap fries with some bits of steak on top that we couldn't chew at all..

We just stopped in for a drink. There was a great atmosphere, the drinks were tasty & everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Nice place, nice location, variety of food and drinks. Great 👍

Great place - loads of choice and great atmosphere

Gorgeous and relaxed friendly vibe ❤️

Great atmosphere that felt energised and trendy. Food was okay, varied selection but it didn't feel like it was anything but mostly starch.

The food is very bad. We ordered pasta, cheese and curry

Great food with lots of different options. Easy ordering using the app and delivered to table quickly.

What a concept, great food sooo glad we visited. Wish there was something like this in Scotland

Good vibes and great choice of food and drink.

The best place to hangout for food lovers. So much variety, you will feel like travelling to places... Every food is amazing and the people and atmosphere is next to none. Worth a visit, not just once but a lot of times.

Exactly what you'd expect from a container village style food hall, similar to those in London and elsewhere around the country. Really easy to order using the QR codes on the tables, and the food arrived quickly (but be aware if you order from multiple vendors, food will arrive at different times). Seating is all outdoors, but is covered and heated. I recommend this if you're wanting something relatively quick, and don't mind not having a restaurant experience. The quality of the food isn't in question, and I'd recommend the Pistachio Arrancini if you're looking for something special.

I absolutely love this place! 1st place I'd recommend in York! I would recommend trying any of the food stations, never had bad food!

Service is always great here. Fab pizza and always a great vibe! Good job Spark for your consistency and keeping it real 👏

Came to York for a week on holiday and ended up coming here for 3 of the 5 nights for dinner as there was so much to choose from. The atmosphere was incredible and the food was amazing. You could order to your table from any of the options using a QR code which was also so useful.

Love the vibe. Love the food. We are regulars when we visit York.

Our first time at Spark and there were plenty of choices for street food and drinks. As with many of these types of places, grab yourself a seat and either order from a kiosk or from the app using the QR code on the table. Service was quick and reasonably-priced, and the atmosphere was good, despite the rain that day. Not all seats are covered so get in there quick if it’s drizzling!

We have visited twice in recent weeks as a group of adults and teenagers to watch the England games,both times we had a brilliant time. Super helpful staff & lovely food, making it a great fun experience!Thank you!

Lovely place, tried Voco cantina, was really good. A lot of the seating places were wet because of the rain, better umbrellas or easy to remove ceiling would be better

Lovely places with great options for food and drink

Really nice food and an interesting place. Will definitely be going back.

Came with my 5 year old child and the wouldn’t serve her a guiness. Instead they threw holy water at her and started praying. Other than that class time 10/10

Always love to visit here. Great selection of food and beer. Relaxed atmosphere, strangers becoming friends. I believe we now call this "vibing" ? Dog friendly to boot. Perfect for a relaxed evening with friends or a loved one.

Lovely afternoon with friends spent sat in the sun. Great food, great service and amazing atmosphere……….we will be back very soon

Great place for catch-up with friends, it was busy but everything was really well organised! Everyone found a place to sit and eat unlike Leeds Trinity Kitchen where it's a free for all.

I went to SPARK with some friends during the weekend and we had a really nice time. I had walked past here many times and always meant to go in and I'm very glad I did. There is a nice variety of food and drinks available, and while I didn't eat on this occasion I will definitely be back again to try out some of the food. Our drinks were brought straight to the table very quickly which was nice and the general atmosphere was really vibrant and positive. The toilets were clean and there were many stalls so even though it was a little busy there was not much waiting involved. A lot of places in York can blend into one but SPARK is definitely unique and worth a try whether you live in the area or are just visiting.

Great atmosphere! You order on the app and they deliver to the table. Food and drinks were great and they were even showing the euros on the big screen

A beautiful area with many different restaurants, including Indian, Slovak, noodles, burgers, pizza, and vegetarian food

Many choices for food ate from herbivores amazing vegan food and dishes

Outdoor food stalls. Good food from the pizza shop. It was a nice warm day in York, so it was a pleasant lunch.

Excellent range of great food and drink

Great find! We don't live in York, but we've been here twice now, and will definitely return when in the area again. Lots of food choices, we had the greek soulvlaki which was lovely 😊 Dog friendly too which is a bonus for us

Good food, lot to choose from. Very busy, but once you get seated and get your food you are going to be satisfied,depending you made the right food choices😎 Baby boy's burgers recommended👏

SPARK is an amazing, eco-friendly institution which helps new businesses make their big break. Many places which you may know from around York such as Doner Summer and Clucking Oinks started out in SPARK. There is a large variety of food at great prices and the atmosphere is always fantastic. If visiting York I must recommend checking it out.

Good place to eat, came with our small children on a Tueaday evening and the atmosphere was nice. The play area is a bit run down and my son got stung by a nettle.

This seems to be a very unique and interesting place to pickup a bite to eat within York. Very young, hip and trendy. Try it

Thought I'll give this place a visit clean with WC went on bank Holiday Monday to packed unable to find somewhere to sit so unable to try the food will go back in the week later on.

Pizza and drinks were good. Not much shelter from rain during summer. Roof was leaking in parts. Good selection of drinks

A really cool space to hang out with friends and enjoy some tasty food! There's lots of seating, and a variety of food options, from Italian to Indian. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the quality is very good. The Rodeo burger from Clucking Oinks is genuinely the best I've ever had! Spark York is dog friendly. There are some stairs to climb if you want to sit on the upper floor, which are slippery when it's raining. Will definitely be coming back! The whole vibe is one that's very relaxed, and it's easy to talk to new people and share the experience together.

If there is a heaven, spark will be the first thing you'll see. Happy, chilled atmosphere and amazing restaurants. Definitely coming again

The real shambles. Weak, overly sweet cocktails. Bland arancini, missing the advertised pistachio pesto. Pizza that was black burnt underneath and at the same time had uncooked dough on one side it was also so thin in the middle it was impossible to pick up a slice, just a mess. Serving staff who have never encountered numbers before, several instances of staff trying to give us other people's orders when everything is clearly numbered.

Really nice place to sit and eat with friends. Lots of options, including for veggies. Really great when the sun is shining :)

Lovely friendly place with a variety of drinks and food from small independent businesses.

Great variety of food available, partial to the focaccia sandwiches myself!

Really good food options. Hard to get a table when busy or wet.

Kind of wish there was a place like this where I live. Good was amazing, service was quick and straight to the table

Lovely vibrant place with great choice of a variety of food. Greek food was superb!!! Highly recommended if you don't want a stuffy evening.

Really lovely food market with lots of options!! We had food from the Clucking Oinks and Indian Street Food and can recommend both. Just expect food to come at different times depending on where you order from

Great place dogs allowed order from the table food and drink from any venue its a different experience and a great idea

I love this place. The atmosphere is just amazing and the food is incredible

This is a proper gem, had my first visit here and I've got to say it's an excellent place to eat, I'll definitely be back for another try of some delicious Street food 😋

Consistently good and love this place as it caters for your individually, so many food choices from different vendors.

But chilly for us but fantastic options. We'll be back!

We didn't eat here, but this is now on our York bucket list. If you're wanting so tasty street food, this looks and smalls amazing 👍 ... Also, as a sign this place must be nice, there were lots of people eating and drinking (in a good way). I'm just glad i don't work nearby as it would be a I'd use constantly!

Paid £2.50 for a can of Iron Bru.

Very different, great food and great service! Several different bars, outside seating though so wrap up in winter!

Just go see it does drag djs and food only thing is that the lady behind the bar didn't know what money was even though I had to give her the exact money I had to pay by card then go back to my bank to make sure my bills come out by putting it back in

Great/ friendly organisation and ordering service. Great atmosphere created. The fried sushi, tiramisu, spritz and beers were great. Burgers on table next door looked great. The South American meat meal was 80% fries for £16. Although I enjoyed my first experience of chimichurri. Samosas disappointing for the price. Me and my partner spent quite a bit and overall disappointed with food but not experience. My advice is come for drinks and light lunch and stick to what you know you like I.E pizza / burgers.

A great little retreat in York. Massive festival vibes and a lot of friendly people and staff. The ordering and payment process here is extremely quick and easy. Just take a seat, scan the QR code and choose what you want to eat and drink!

Loved this place. An eclectic place full of different food and drink outlets. A great undercover place with a rooftop bar. Patio heaters and picnic tables fill the main space. Attracts a young student crowd but they were all very friendly. Lots of things going on here, a real community asset in a previously disused space. Check out their website for weekly and upcoming events.

Amazing selection of food with great taste. They have table service and all you have to do is to scan a QR code on the table to order. I’d recommend clucking oink’s Caesar burger and rosemary fries 10/10

The streetfood GOAT of York. The outlets are frequently changing and there is always some popup that's having a go at trying out their idea for some interesting food. There are some non-food/drink places here but the focus is a variety of things to eat and drink. The app is great and works well to order from your table to whatever is open and taking orders. Seating is rustic, sure, but it fits the popup vibe. There are loads of places like this everywhere now and no city is complete without one. It's regenerated what was a forgotten area of York into the cornerstone of the hip Walmgate area.

Brilliant place, fantastic atmosphere and family friendly. ⭐️

Street flavors. Pizza was great stone oven
