The Postern Gate in York

Great place to eat. A little bit off the beaten track, so less busy as a result.

Really busy but staff so helpfull food really good well done guys

Very nice pub good selection of drinks very busy very clean

Cheap food,cheap beer,quick service

For a spoons, it's one of the better ones.

We were staying in the travelodge next door and found it very good for breakfast and dinner it gets busy in the evening but breakfast was really good. We has porridge and fruit with yogurt very good. While having breakfast we saw some really great characters two gentlemen who were talking about the law we thought they could be having breakfast prior to working in the adjacent courts.

Only went for in for coffee & got a cup of hot milky brown drink. Tasted horrible . Out of 3 coffee machines in the pub only 1 was giving out proper measures all the others had flashing lights & warnings on screen . Mentioned about them to a staff member but nothing was done didn't even go over & have a look .1 working coffee machine in a pub that size is unacceptable.

Deeply concerned by my experience I visited the pub with some friends and we are all in our 60s. Unfortunately they did not have Guinness which we found very strange. I asked the manager to explain why. Jamie was clearly under pressure and gave me a frustrated response. I felt deeply insulted and we ended up leaving. I contacted their customer services and their response was if you are not happy then do not return. Very unusual for Wetherspoons as they usually value customers but unfortunately not the case here. It doesn’t help the pub was overwhelmed with students and low numbers of staff

Eas in here today and ordered steak. Was so fatty and hard to cut, said something to the waiter and just took it away, no appology.

Absolutely horrendous service ordered our food took 3/4 hr to arrive and when arrived it had been taken to another table before arriving at our table upon us question this the member of staff said they didn't realised it had been touched clearly looking at the chicken wings they had teeth marks in the drumstick no offer off refund will not be going again for food ever

Lovely ambiance staff very friendly food reasonably priced We enjoyed our visit

Lively modern weatherspoons but can be very busy. Excellent staff which great prices.

I have been to this spoons a number of times in the past however when I went on Saturday the 30th of November I had an awful experience with staff. They were very rude to me and my friends we were all of age and had proof of id however they were acting as though we couldn’t be there they checked our id 3 times and when we said you have already checked our id they were very rude towards us. I also ordered an 11inch pizza and the pizza I got was so small and then I said it wasn’t 11 inches and they said it was, could clearly see that it wasn’t. I understand that young people may cause problems in places like that however we had every right to be there and shouldn’t be made to feel like we don’t.

Bar staff seem to serve the first person they see, leaving others waiting. Can get very noisy at peak times.

Good food and service for a late lunch

Terrible food, undercooked steak, soggy chips, luke warm, hair found in tikka masala, place was a dump, every condiment bottle was on empty, no checkbacks, had to search half the pub for a member of staff to acknowledge me with a plate of food in my hand.. I blame management for the lack of care n training

Not a great experience at all. Ordered a medium steak & a tikka masala. Arrived in exactly 2 minutes if not less from the point of ordering. Steak was raw n chips soggy. Had to walk around half the pub to find someone to take it back & sort it. My daughtr found a small hair in the tikka masala so didnt eat the rest of hers. No checkbacks or apologies, didnt even finish my 1 pint.. we just got u n left. 1st time in a wetherspoons in years.. never again

Great Whetherspoons near the centre of York. Plenty of indoor and outside seating. Very friendly staff.

Weatherspons pub, Christmas themed foods available. Kids menu. Lots of choice of drinks, teas coffee, alcoholic and non alcoholic. Relaxed atmosphere. Reasonable pricing, you can't beat the price of the breakfast, though quality of bacon may be better elsewhere, the meals is tasty and filling for the price you pay.

High quality English breakfast for a great price. Nice riverside setting and efficient service.

Very busy and chaotic. Fish was very good. Prices exceptionally good value. However, the overall atmosphere is a bit like feeding time at the zoo. Service fast, staff helpfully and very attentive

Fantastic pub great decor and atmosphere, brilliant music, lovely food great staff.

I liked it there, the food was great and there were a lot of people in for breakfast. A popular place. The prices are low, especially for larger. I've marked the service down because there was a massive queue to order, but only one person serving. I would of thought that the management would have noticed or that the one person serving would have asked for backup. The manager could step it up here, please.

Great beer and food Can be busy

Visited when it was the Christmas market so it was absolutely packed. When ordering we were advised of a 40 minute wait for food, it came in 35. The quality of the food was great and despite it being busy was served promptly and came nice and hot

Visited on the evening of 20-11-24. This is a very large promises and we were lucky to get the last table. As always with Wetherspoons the food and beers/ales were good. Recommended

Lively and busy place. Visited for breakfast on several days, also for night cap before returning to b&b

Just called for a drink and a rest

Very busy place. Good service. Usual quality spoons food.

Good food and a nice outdoor sitting area

Had a lovely meal ,great hospitality staff were fantastic 🍺🍷

Who doesn't love a Wetherspoons? Excellent value. Good atmosphere.

Popped in to the Postern Gate the other day and had a lovely night speaking to one of the bar maids, think her name Kelly. She was really sweet and helped me pick out a delicious drink. Will definitely be back soon !!!

Great place, clean, and food piping hot 🥵🥵, and service was spot on couldn't fault it wotsoever !!!

A very typical Wetherspoons with the usual selection of cheap drinks and food. Good real ale selection. Msdge bought me a pint of Yorkshire Heart blond. Even cheaper with a CAMRA 50p off voucher. Short walk from the town centre.

Let's be honest it's just a spoons but for the price you pay for the food it's really not that bad. Staff are usually great

LOGAN WHAT A GUY..Friday night, busy as can be expected, you could have stuck to the table, when the wife asked for a cloth to clean it herself she was informed the person who was ment to wipe tables is not here... ffs. After ordering food and mentioning this LOGAN came over and sorted it Thank you mate

Up to Weatherspoons usual standard. Fast efficient service.

Perfect location, very friendly and helpful staff

Breakfast was just warm and not very nice

Great place to meet friends over 🍺🍺🍺 Top Spoons.

Great place to relax and chat over coffee or a pint

Good spoons, pretty big and the bathrooms weren't a treck and a half to get to

Not the nicest of spoons, but staff were friendly and it was close to the main tourist areas of York. Nearby pubs were changing triple the price and profiting from the tourists while spoons remained affordable.

Decent spoons, you know what you're getting.

Decent wetherspoons but slow service at bar considering it's in a city centre

Not to bad for a quick stop Fish was kinda small for the price

Standard as per other wetherspoons. Found a table easy and everything as expected. Toilets on ground floor!

Had breakfast very good,then later returned for a steak and a pint.excellent food great value

Meal especially chips could have been a lot warmer!!

A very busy place, staff were polite and helpful. Very clean ladies toilet.

A typical Wetherspoons, nothing to complain about here. Ronseal, it does what it says on the tin.

A great spoons, good food and nice staff.

Really great friendly staff, good reasonably priced food, for a quick snack before adventures around the city or relaxing for dinner after a busy day. Lovely outside Riverside seating area. Great food, great service 👍

Had a very relaxed time staff were helpful friendly and very professional.

It is a big wetherspoons pub, selling the same as the rest

Had a couple of pints of san Miguel lovely

When we wen̈t in it was very busy We sat in the back area where kitchen was it was dirty loads of glasses stacked up.manager broke a glass left it smashed on floor...not enough staff

Very busy Sunday evening. Spoons always works!

I popped in for a cold drink after work as a rainy evening before walking home. It was busy but only a few people waiting to be served due to bar staff working hard to serve everyone. A young staff member was working hard glass clearing tables and delivery meals to tables . A customer asked for napkins which he swiftly brought to them. I asked his name and he said Alfie, and l said he was working hard and thanked him. He was polite and friendly. Always polite and friendly staff when l visit and tidy tables, and clean toilets .

What was expected at Wetherspoons. It fitted well with what we needed.

Light and airy even when busy, clean and tidy.

Cheapest place for a pint and a half of lager on our vist. £4.50. Other drinks cheaper. Nice clean Wetherspoons

Excellent all round, I recommend a visit 💙 And the resident Sausagecat is very well fed and quite happy 😊

Be old Spoons, was great to get a cheaper drink. Nice place.

Had possibly the worst chicken burger of all time here but there was a delightfully fat cat in the beer garden

was charged over £6 for a double vodka and mixer, staff very impolite (shouting at customers), chips yummy, spent a fiver on a brownie which was miniscule and came with ice cream half melted and tasted awful, terrible atmosphere (play some music!)

Conveniently located close the Castle Museum and the Barbican this is a fairly large pub. Unfortunately when I visited recently there were only two members of staff serving. One man on the bar and a young woman making up the orders from the app. Nevertheless they were efficient and quick but still pleasant and friendly . Fair to say both of them were working flat out and doing their best to provide good service when the pub was obviously short on staff. The food was as expected - I always enjoy the meals which are excellent value for money! Service was quick given the circumstances. Tables needed clearing but could obviously understand why that hadn’t been done! Pub is nicely laid out and the toilets were nice and clean.

Always have a good time never been bad so will keep going back.

The bar was undersraffed but the staff on the bar were working their hardest to clear the backlog . Lauren clearly under pressure never let her professionalism slip despite the tut tut tutting of some customers This is when you need your backline no nonesense hard working polite and professionl Brilliant !!!

Good cat, good pints, good with friends

We visited York during Freshers week!! We were greatly entertained by the young students having an ace time....good luck to you all!

Very pleased with our Wetherspoons breakfast came out well cooked , quickly & all hot ! Excellent value for money. Been to many Wetherspoons & this was one we would definately come back too !

Went in for dinner with a friend. Burger and chips was delicious but that's where the positives end unfortunately. When I went to the bathroom I was threatened by some guy who accused me of being homosexual. He grabbed me and basically threatened me with violence. Me and my friend reported it to the staff aa we left. They were sympathetic but I will not be entering this establishment again

A modern spoons with all you'd expect from the chain. We came very early for a breakfast and coffee. Nice staff and the food was cooked to perfection for us, though the beans are very bland these days. My only annoyance was that even though this is a modern building, some of the fixtures looked very poorly fitted and there were bits of unfinished maintenance like holes filled but not painted and the bathroom walls not cleaned all the way down which looked a bit 🤢. On the plus side, the Toilets were within line of sight of the bar and didn't require satnav and an oxygen mask to reach so top marks for that!

Large sprawling ground floor bar which has three distinct areas. The Tower has booths set round the central tables, then the conservatory area with a maze of high and low seating. Finally the Riverside which has indoor and outdoor seating. Very busy as a breakfast stop which is aided by the coffee machines being placed around the floor. Hardworking team always clearing, cleaning and serving. So a big improvement over the previous visit. Beers are plentiful in choice and we'll kept. A feral cat has adopted table 200 outside the door of the conservatory. Wetherspoons should set up a Web cam and let people order food for it...

Our waiter was awesome we are here on holiday I would have given him a raise he helped me with my order by phone app came back several times to see if we were all good just sorry I didn’t get his name More workers like him is a great comfort we were at table 22 Americans around 430 5 o’clock

Had a lovely breakfast here this morning. Staff are absolutely lovely

Jake N served me and he was lovely, it was quick service and poured to perfection. Really appreciate his effort towards the job. Thanks Jake

Typical Wetherspoons establishment. Only popped in for a drink, during a sunny afternoon- ordered on the app and delivered promptly

Good cheap lacal and world wide ales n beers, food is simple and usually nice for the price. *update new menu is really nice*

It's your standard wetherspoons pub, cheap drink and food, nothing really to complain about because you know what you're getting at Wetherspoons. It's ideally located under the Travelodge where we stayed so it was perfect for getting some breakfast in the morning.

Lovely place, great staff, great food. Stick to this place, not the other one across town!

Logan was a superstar and made my night tonight

Breakfast was good except for the fried egg. It was like rubber and could have been cooked the day before. Nice place and good position.

Did there best very busy , all staff never stopped.

Hire more staff! Service at this Spoons is atrocious. Nowhere near enough people behind the bar with most of those making app orders. And most of the others are very slow. Walked out a couple times now after waiting 15+ minutes just to get a pint.

Called in for breakfast definitely upto standard couldn't fault it love a wetherspoons breakfast

Great atmosphere fast service friendly staff

Yeah was lush great place to go for some food and pre drinks will not be let down

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the mixed grill 😋

All good. Decent meal and beer selection.

Had breakfast and evening meal whilst staying at travelodge, breakfast very tasty had mushroom benedict which was delicious and had fish and chips for evening meal which was as good as I have eaten anywhere,and as this included a drink was excellent value. The Postern Gate has a good vibe, friendly staff and the place was very clean. Well done Postern Gate.

Weatherspoons at its best! With a great location in York!

App wasn't working when ordering it ordered twice place was very busy Hannah sorted it all out and I received refund great job food was great would go again

Called for breakfast while staying nearby. The staff was impolite, the food was cold, and the place was dirty.

Great Wetherspoons pub/restaurant lots of atmosphere here.. food was great and very quick service I can recommend the chicken pieces in a basket we had it with salad which was also served with coleslaw and smokey bbq sauce but available with fries if you wish. If you're just having drinks there are tables outside and some are riverside which is nice in good weather (food is not served at these outside tables.!) Staff were friendly and efficient ..'spoons is always good value.! 👍 🍽 🍺 🍷

Love a 'Spoons but this one was disappointing, tables not cleared, food cold when served, staff not attentive at all, not be back

super spoons as usual! our main goal after landing in stansted earlier!
