Visited the ainsty and just wanted to leave a review to say what a lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere it has, the Christmas decor was a nice touch and the man behind the bar (josh) was friendly and approachable, felt like a local in there. A proper pub (there aren’t many left)!

The ainsty pub has a great atmosphere, with staff who are kind, warm and welcoming. It feels like a home away from home. The landlords are always so friendly and are down for a laugh. The bar staff ate quick and pull great pints, Josh always has a smile on his face and it happy to serve you. The food is delicious and always great! It doesn’t take long from ordering to arriving at your table! The live entertainment they have on is top notch and it’s a great pub to come watch some footy!

Came in recently for a meal with my son who is 9. We had a really nice time, Josh behind the bar was so lovely and couldn't do enough for us. The food was delicious, we both had a burger and we both loved it. The chef Gio is really nice and friendly, he came out to chat to us and asked if we enjoyed our food. Definitely recommend The Ainsty, lovely friendly place with good food and great staff

First visit since the refurb. Had the buy one get one free burger which were excellent value. Lovely succulent burger, not the horrible dry chargrilled versions you get elsewhere. Best one I have had in a pub in a long time. Lovely fresh salad, fries and proper onion rings. The mocha was excellent too. Superb value and will definitely be coming back again soon. Well done.

We were looking for somewhere that had sky sports so hubby could watch the football his beloved Blues was playing we spotted the Ainsty so decided to stop and yes they had sky sports hubby asked if there was a table by a telly we were shown to a lovely little area with comfortable seating. Checked out the menu there was a good choice I had the all day breakfast which was lovely the sausages were really tasty and the eggs cooked to perfection gave bacon to hubby as not too keen on bacon. Hubby had cheese and bacon burger (plus the extra bacon I gave him) he cleared his plate and sat back with his pint to enjoy the footie, we stayed on after the match enjoyed a chat with the staff who were lovely. If you are in York check out the Ainsty you won't be dissapointed.

We went yesterday for my birthday and ate around half 5. Myself and my partner my mother and a friend with a four year old. I had turkey dinner and a small dinner for the little one. Steak and ale pie. Chicken burger and a chicken, bacon and avocado sandwich for the others. All the food came together and the hot meals were piping hot. The four year old ate everything! Very tasty. Service excellent. The football was on the big screens one being right above us but not too intrusive for us to have a conversation. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. We'll definitely be back and introduce different friends. We have been before. The small plates are ideal for lunchtime especially the tacos 😋😁. Well done to all concerned. Pub is spotless also. See you soon x

Staff are very friendly but a bit slow. We went upstairs as no seating downstairs but the atmosphere was full of damp air and all windows steamed up with black mould on walls and general cleanliness not good. I think they maybe need more staff here as service slow and empty pots and trays everywhere.

Me and my dad came here for Sunday dinner. We asked the lady if this pub was dog-friendly and our experience confirmed that it couldn’t have be more so. For example, this same lady brought out pieces of spare meat from the kitchen for the dogs which, being insatiable labradors, was perfect. All the staff were extremely accommodating and polite, for example manoeuvring around the dogs a little to serve our food when it arrived. The food was exactly what I was craving after a nice walk in the countryside just outside York. All round I had a great day with my dad and the pub did an excellent job of facilitating this and making me feel welcome.

The actual place itself is easy on the eye and comfortable, it’s just a shame the staff have to be so rude, allowing people to push in at the bar and being very abrupt when asked about particular beers, poor attitude from both behind the bar who seemed to be competing for the award for worst attitude, they should take a leaf from their namesake around the corner who have a much better work ethic, first and last visit here…. Not impressed at all !

Popped in for a bit to eat and last time we came here, we had our dog with us and sat outside. This time we were seated up stairs and it’s clean and staff very attentive and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The Yorkshire breakfast was lovely and a bit too much for me, but the poached eggs were the star, perfect and thank you.
