The Grey Horse in York - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely country pub. Friendly staff. Had Sunday lunch. Very disappointed. Chicken, broccoli, carrot and swede, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding straight out of freezer and microwaved. A dollop of smash. Gravy was tasteless. Minimum effort maximum profit.

Had a lovely birthday meal here last night. Great atmosphere and service, food and wine gorgeous! The team made my evening extra special with cake and a candle which was really lovely. I pass more local pubs nearer to me but this is worth the drive out in my opinion.

Obviously this is a pub so you can hear people laughing & chatting downstairs until after last orders - not a problem for us, but if you like to retire early then this might be an issue. The stairs are quite rickety and not suitable for the elderly or infirm. But the bedroom was absolutely gorgeous and very clean. The staff were also really friendly. £95 for a twin room might be a little on the steep side, given the limited breakfast options (toast & cereal only) but I guess with the cost of living going up, it’s inevitable that this will be passed onto the customer. Premier Inns in the same area were coming up at around £140 per night so we did save a fair bit of money by staying here.

Lovely and cosy on a chilly February lunch time. Friendly staff and prompt service. Meals were served quickly arrived nice and hot. Would definitely call again.

Just returned from a 2 night stay. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Made to feel very welcome. Great choice for breakfast. Steve was even kind enough to be our taxi driver and take us to & from a family wedding we were attending.

Called in for a peaceful drink on the way back from visiting friends. One tot of brandy plus one tot of port topped up in a slim half-pint glass with lemonade, plus half a pint of shandy and three bags of those little cheese crisps......£14.05!!!!!!!!!! The barman assured me it was correct because his computer till said so, a case of technology over-riding common-sense. I can buy a large bottle of brandy in Waitrose for £17. Totally shameful and disgraceful pricing. Obviously I didn't bother with food, I didn't want to mortgage my house.

An excellent Sunday lunch, served promptly, piping hot. Three thick slices of tasty turkey, great variety of veg, roast, mash and a big Yorkshire pud, plus lashings of thick gravy all for a bargain £12.50. Side order of pigs in blankets a great add-on.

Very pleasant visit with good food. Visited on a friday evening, prebooked but only 20 mins before we arrived. Staff were very friendly and we had a choice of tables. Pub is traditional with lots of character, and very clean. Menu had a good choice and was reasonably priced, and we enjoyed our meal. Only point of note was that the portion size was not overly generous, so although we left feeling full, if you had a large appetite you possibly may needed a dessert! Overall a lovely meal in a great country pub. 👍

Great pub, called in for refreshment to break our journey, helpful barmaid, knew about the local area. Nice surroundings, all the necessary anti Covid-19 measures in place. Great beer too.
