The Duke in York

Came to the DofY whilst waiting for our train. The staff were lovely and the restaurant was clean with space and a good range of food and drinks.

Fantastic service by Sophie and tasty breakfast thank you

Bloody gorgeous breakfast, piping hot.

Called in before getting the train home. Asked for 1 large Chardonnay with soda. Was charged £9.29. the place was tatty and the wine more expensive than a nice restaurant. Will not be back.

Clearly states open at 10am for breakfast service but staff just waved us away at 10.10am. If thats how you treat potential customers we won't bother spending our money with you.

Amazing customer service, a nice atmosphere and great food!

Lovely food, great staff. Highly recommend!

Was here for a meet-up with friends. Was very busy and very noisy.

Great place for quick food and pint, the bar lady Fauouv was great 👍

The beer was amazingly good and food was great. We really loved it here.

Nice staff, speedy service, yummy food and enough drinks to keep you happy 😊

Delicious full breakfast, great coffee, lovely staff and a great location right beside the train station.

Nice breakfast, good service will call again

Decent breakfast food. Atmosphere was alright considering we were there at opening. Sophie was brill! Running the place on her own, giving accurate food times. Even with the place filling up after 11am, she never lost her cool and was impeccable with her customer service. All the best!

I came in to have some food before I got my train back home. The gentleman on the till was super lovely. The food was amazing too. Highly recommend:)

Advertised that it opens at 10am, we were left standing and a few others till 10.15 before it opened. Young lass serving gave no apology whatsoever to why it was late opening. No teaspoons for taking teabags out the cups either. Very poor

Dropped in last night for a drink while waiting for a bus outside. Upon entering about 6.30pm, you would think it would be really busy as the train station was very busy, but no. Extremely quiet. Got served straight away and about 3 other people in there. No atmosphere at all. As it was quiet i looked around. Lots of empties on the tables which were there the entire time (45mins) staff just chatted to each other at the bar! Surely you could make it spotless in that time. However, the worst was the TOILETS! Very tired looking and smelly in the Ladies but hubby went to the men’s. I know men’s loos are generally smelly however he said, if you wanted a NO 2, there’s no seats and were Just disgusting 🤢. Before I wrote this review, I wanted to write direct but couldn’t see who owned pub so looked on Trip advisor. I noticed, months ago someone told how bad the loos are and a reply said they were being done up. Guess what, months later, still not done. Come on DOY, you’re missing a trick where you are, pull it together and you could have a great place to visit. At the moment, people from other places countries will think, is this what York has to offer 😩

We walked in, asked for the menu and the lady behind the bar pointed to were they were, no greeting no smile didn’t speak so we decided not to spend another minute in there and walked out, awful customer service.

Awful place. Toilets seats hanging off. No toilet paper. Looks filthy. Inside. No way would I eat in there. I have to laugh at the reviews here. I can't believe people have eaten in this pub. And the Managers response is always the same. ..... we will look into it. Clearly they are not looking into it as it is still a filthy dump.

Incredible hospitality and patience with large family group

Lovely place to stop for a pint whilst waiting for your train, had polite staff and it was nice and clean! Will definitely be coming back :)

A nice stop off before getting on the train.

Just had a quick drink here. I'm not sure I'd spend a lot of time here.

Called in to have drink as early for our train. Sorry but this place is a mess, chairs are well worn and dirty, tables uncleared and prices totally over the top. The place could do with a deep clean.

Get a nice pint before the train

poor customer service was in there on 1st august 24 lost my phone someone from bar must of picked up as tracking shows last location there staff missreble and talking amongest themselves waiting 15 minutes to get served shocking service drinks not good dirty place avoid at all costs better pubs elsewhere

Great pub food was very good service also good if you are looking for something to eat by the station this is the place

Fab service from the staff, very attentive. Favour is very friendly and helpful UPDATE... Whilst waiting for my train which was delayed I was served by favour again who is always happy to see you. I tried the full English this time and I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. I will definitely return for a breakfast 😋

Came in at 7.55 before our train. The dirty looks we got for walking in the door like how dare we. Staff throwing paper cups at each other laughing. Says close at 9pm however one of the staff bellowed over to another are last orders at 8.10? Replies yes Not the first time we’ve been made to feel uncomfortable. Tables dirty and glasses cups all over. Seriously need to sort it out.

Disgusting. The place is filthy. No staff on the bar. £8.40 for two tasteless lagers.

I mean… plastic glasses when drinking in pub? For real?

Bog standard vinegar-scented railway station bar where you’re required to pay for your pint of Tetley’s bitter before it’s poured.

Came here for our first drink before York races. Great atmosphere, the bar was busy but the staff did their best to get us served quickly. Typical, I chose the drink everyone was having Guinness, but it was worth the weight.

Unusually quiet tonight so feel this review isn't accurate. Nice, cold drinks served with a smile. The staff are welcoming and friendly.

One of the worst loos I have used. Code to get in, massive Helmans mayo under one of the urinals half full(not mayo haha) loo seat hanging off and hand dryer not working. Not very welcoming I’m afraid. Nice pint though 🤣 and staff friendly

I visited this place last night and it was the dirtiest bar I have ever visited. Appalling.

Had cooked breakfast here, it was fantastic, coffee was great too, staff were very friendly and attentive and the price was better than other places. Well done, 2 customers that will be returning. Summer was really helpful and polite.

Service super slow and rude. ‘What else?’ Is what we got asked. There were no manners involved. TV far too loud. Food put on the end of the bar near a bottle of bleach and a dirty cloth. Just a shambles throughout our visit. Absolutely would not return and will tell everyone not to visit here.

Nice pub, didn't come for food, quick pint before train home. Only downside was no toilet roll in the gents l, had to ask for toilet roll and wasn't overly busy.

I can't even score this place....the pics speak for me....and that's the toilets

Quick service and polite bar staff. Good place to stop if you have 30mins before the next train.

Absolutely filthy did not have food so can not comment on that, but I would not like to eat in here it’s awful

Came in for glass of wine and coke/ Pepsi whilst waiting for train . Like everywhere in York things are pricey . Young lady behind bar ( 13/06/24 at 3:30 ) very bubbly/ smiley personality very likeable

Got served by a lovely lady called favour nice atmosphere and good prices. Will highly recommend

Excellent service 💕 with £25 we ate very well and had a pint each.

We stopped in for one whilst waiting for our train A good option and better than sitting on the platform All in all a good standard train station watering hole

Half off snacks not available Over priced drinks

Not too bad a pub, right next to the train station. Not cheap by any stretch but prime location to get the commuters. Only had a tea and a coke. Decent place to chill before your train comes.

I entered casually, I immediately felt at home, great people behind the counter and excellent service, unfortunately I wasn't able to try the food, but I can assure you that the scent was inviting, I will definitely try it next time

Had breakfast this morning , was great value considering its in the train station and the staff working there where very nice and friendly , also just spotted on the chalkboard. That they do a bacon butty and a pint for £4.99 ! Would definitely recommend

Just what we needed at the time. Abi behind the bar - what a professional! Working so hard and always with a smile

Drinks ok, nice stop off while waiting for a train. However the toilets are absolutely disgusting. Dirty, toilet seat hanging off, door lock not secure, poor decor. This really does need attention ASAP

The young woman working the desk has been so lovely and helpful!

The girl with the purple hair was running the whole place by herself and doing amazing, great service and great attitude!

Great pub at York rail station. Food is amazing and really good options! I had the ultimate nachos and hot chocolate for ~ £14.

Quick pint and friendly service cheers.

The lady with blue hair was rude and unwelcoming… will never go again when passing through York

It was just the place I needed for an hour wait between trains at lunch time. Spacious and easy to place bags down and sit and work whilst eating a warm meal/snack (cheesy chips and bacon £4.99) that was more appealing then the other sandwich offerings at outlets around the station. And accessing private toilets meant it was easier to place bags and use the facilities than those within the station itself. Summer served me and was welcoming and helpful.

I was absolutely disgraced by the service. Was met by a very untidy bar member of staff. I first asked too use the toilet before I bought my drink. This was addressed with a rude in understanding response something too do with a code. We had a disagreement me stating I desperately needed the toilet before I got a drink all this time I reassured I was getting a drink. I then sat down too be confronted by the bar mans friends sat at the table saying leave the lad alone. Bullying tactics just because I wasn’t happy with my service. I wasn’t welcomed into the establishment at all. No manners. And when asked for the racing on the telly I got a simple “no” I said why I got “I don’t know” how professional ? The prices in this place are ridiculous also

Was early for my train so popped in for a drink and a snack Service was friendly and excellent ordered cheesy chips they was a let down I was expecting just chips with cheese but when they came it had loads of cheese sauce over them which I can't have the sauce The girl behind the bar offered to get me some more chips but I didn't have time It should state it has a sauce on for people who have allergies to gluten etc all it says on the menu was cheesy chips no mention of sauces

Really nice fish and chips and atmosphere. Nice friendly staff.

Not many in at the time,but handy place before getting the train back.

Was delayed, popped in bacon sandwich & coffee just over £8, reasonably priced for a station, service was good, food was decent, coffee good, staff welcoming 👍

Nice bar. Least if u drunk all u need to do is walk out of back door u on train station

Alright as a stop off before getting the train. Toilets were freezing 🥶

Really nice place. The barman was very helpful and polite.

Wouldn't advise going in for a Guiness but overall really nice

We had to wipe and tidy our table when we first sat down as although there where lots of staff only one seemed to take the initiative to serve and clear tables. This was a shame as it was a cozy respite before catching our train. Could do better.

Nice meal, very helpful staff and reasonable prices

We was very disappointed due to the fact I ordered a pint of sanmiguel with a lemonade splash and we got charged £5.25 for the pint and then an extra £1.10 for the splash of lemonade so realistically I never had a full pint. This is robbing people left and centre. Word of warning do not trust this place. I will be taking this further also!

Good beer and good wings. Can’t go wrong. Service was great, served by Abi. Right in the train station, so convenient for a beer and snack/meal while traveling.

This is a lovely, nicely priced place to go for food before the train. Dog friendly. Good price drinks too. It is cheaper than most in York. Music over the speakers was nice easy listening and not too loud so could easily have a conversation.

Do not buy this wine!! You charge £25 per bottle and it’s anything but a ‘Fine Italian Wine’ The taste is more like an old drain cleaner.

Ok to have a drink and burger while waiting for the train

Lovely service from Sophie. Lovely food , chicken tiki masala was top notch. Toilets are very clean.

Wasn’t sure about a station pub but pleasantly surprised! Service polite & with a smile, fab tasty Caesar salad & tasty juicy burger. Would definitely recommend & will use next time we’re catching a train! 🚆 ☺️

Ok for filling time in waiting for train. Expensive

Excellent service and very well priced beer. Thankyou Summer

The food and beer were delish and Sophie was a lovely hostess.

Very good Very cozy would go there again 10

Had drinks before we got our train back home after a great day at York very warm welcome and good service from staff

Great to be served by someone as pleasant as Sophie. Thank you

Nice place to have a drink while waiting for your train

Absolute mess, early afternoon empty bottles and glasses everywhere can they not employ a glass collector to clear and wipe tables?

Second time in 4 months no Sauvignon blanc 🤦‍♀️

Festive burger is yummy 😋 gimmie more of that.

Fantastic place to meet friends when leaving or meeting at the station. Drinks pricing is brilliant. Staff friendly and engage in conversation with you. Will return

We arrived for breakfast before our train and only had 45 minutes, the place was very busy, only 2 staff on but could not fault them. Order taken, delivered and eaten with time to spare. Lovely breakfast and a special mention to the toast - best toast I have had in a long time. Well done, keep up the good work.

Amazing festive burger, nice atmosphere. Thanks Sue for the amazing burger

Quick drink before the 2 hour train journey average £5.10 a pint clean enough. Do not bin your recipt you will need the code for the toilets.

Sat for a few hours in the Duke of York this morning and it's a very modern and comfortable bar based at York Station. Staff were very friendly and chatty, a lovely place to wait for my train.

It was a great wee pub in York I was there as my friend took me away for a spa weekend.

I popped in yesterday evening for a quick drink before my long trip back to London, and was welcomed in by Eden, Vic and Sophie who all took the time to make pleasant conversation with me. The service was impeccable, friendly and efficient. The place was also very well kept and clean, I could tell the staff make it their mission to provide a welcoming and hospitable atmosphere within the hussle and bussle of the train station. If I ever return to York for business (and I hope I do), I will be sure to stop in again for another round of the same.

Great part of our birthday bar crawl, lots of choice with regards to the beers, just how's I likes it!

Nice place for a drink, very convenient being next to the train station

Alright for a meeting place but the staff aren't brilliant at knowing "who's next" or pulling a pint that doesn't end up flat. Friendly enough though.

You need to show ID if you want to be in the pub. And you can only access the toilet if you ask for a code. I ended up not using the toilet since I shouldn't have to ask. Had a coke. Was ok.

Friendly & efficient service from the 2 young staff members.Well cooked, tasty breakfast & coffee.

I popped in for a coffee during delays for services due to storm babet. Unfortunately was rudely ‘welcomed’ by a staff member who bluntly told me in front of everybody I am allowed to sit here but need to order something. I had just walked in and was trying to find a menu, I’d been sat down for less than a minute and had no intention of just sitting there and not ordering anything. Maybe work out a strategy where you inform customers they order at the bar, manners are free of charge. Coffee was awful as well.

Great friendly place for drinks and snacks!
