The Whippet Inn in York

Great quality meal, fabulous value. Impeccable and friendly staff. The sticky toffee pudding is off the chart!!!

Sunday lunch was spectacular, the beef was so succulent! Was talked into a chocolate brownie dessert which was fabulous. All just perfect. Thank you so much to George and his team for making us feel so welcome. Would most certainly go back here in a heartbeat.

Went the Whippet inn for Sunday roast.. ordered the roast beef it was exceptional as was the cauliflower cheese. A top rated meal. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and would visit again on my next holiday to York. Well done Jill

Had a roast here Sunday 27th. Food... Sublime. I've never had a better roast. The cauliflower cheese; get outta here. And the beef was melt in the mouth too. Service... Fantastic. The long haired guy was extremely accommodating when we had to rush to be out by a set time. Extremely clean and a lovely atmosphere in general. Top notch.

£34 ribeye? I’ve had better at weatherspoons. Crap

We visited here after reading the reviews online and after out hotel recommend it, we would say it's a must to visit. We were blown away by the food and atmosphere, and to top it off the service from Charlie was outstanding. Absolutely 5*

The Sunday lunch is unbelievable.

Quirky and highly recommended place. And the staff is super friendly! A must-see. Ps Great cuisine

A terrific locally sourced restaurant. Millie was our perky and professional server, though the whole team was so helpful with recommendations. We had a wonderful meal.

It really wasn't very good. The carrots were hard and singed. The potatoes tasted stale and reheated. The Yorkshire Pudding was dry and tasted of nothing at all. We had to ask for more gravy and horseradish. The wrong starter came and the replacement took a long time to arrive and may not have been the right order but we ate it anyway. Service was actually charming but let down by the food. We won't be returning.

The food was amazing. The staff bent over backwards to ensure my allergies were catered for too. And the dog loved all the attention. We will be coming back

First class food, never disappointed, service great and friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Signature dish amazing. 4th visit.

Chose this place to experience our first Sunday Roast while on vacation from America and it was the right choice. Everything was well prepared, beautifully presented and delicious. I don't know how you make a roast that tender! Service was top notch and very accommodating. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic food. Highly recommended. Definitely worth the trip from Manchester 🍽️

We recently dined at The Whippet Inn, and while the food was the highlight, there were areas that could be improved. We ordered steak and Yorkshire puddings. The steak was cooked to perfection—juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. However, the Yorkshire puddings were a bit of a letdown. They lacked flavor, especially the bottom part where the dough was the thickest and quite bland. The biggest downside was the slow service. It took much longer than expected for a single-course meal, and regardless of whether it was intentional, slow service isn’t ideal. The pacing felt off, and it seemed like the cooks were assuming their own timing preferences without considering the guests. A prompt service would’ve definitely elevated the experience. Overall, the food quality was decent, but the service and some aspects of the meal didn’t live up to expectations.

Went for Sunday dinner think the chef skipped the class about seasoning food was very bland and the gravy im pretty sure was happy shopper savers gravy from the back of the shelf. Wouldn’t recommend

We've been trying to get to the Whippet in for a long while since my wife had a great experience there on a work function. We finally got a birthday as an excuse and a babysitter to look after our boy, so we made the move surprised to find a vacancy with so little notice. However, I don't think we'll be heading back any time soon after the experience we had for a Sunday lunch. We moved tables because there was an awful stink of toilets/damp in the back room that we simply couldn't ignore. When we were moved, we were told not to worry about the starters as they wouldn't go cold. Unfortunately, the chicken terrine is better on warm toast than stone cold. And it also tends to be better when fresh, but it looked to be days old and properly dried out. The mackarel was thoroughly underwhelming too...just mushy and unexciting. The little caviar (or alternative equivalents) were a nice little touch adding zing to the dish, but otherwise a disappointment. The roast beef was pretty decent to be fair, but we never got a Yorkshire pud even though all our neighbours had some pretty chunky ones on their plate. We also indulged in the dirty roasties that were ok, but really not that brilliant for and extra £6.50. But the gravy...dear god the gravy. Chef had clearly used far too much gelatine in the gravy to prevent spillages on the way down the stairs, but that was ridiculous. It would have stuck to the wall if you'd tried! I'm all go for thick gravy, but that was nasty. We sampled a couple of wines by the glass and they were good, and freshly/recently opened. The prosecco we had to start was pretty poor though - a sweet start with a very bitter, slight anaseed finish. No alternative options except for a £29 half bottle of Nytimber which would have been great, but not at that price. Generally speaking, I felt the wines were pretty heavily overpriced. The Hochar can be bought at £18 retail and is being flogged here for £50 - that's an offensive markup. Decor...I don't usually make comment on this but I thought it was completely disjointed. The dining areas are fairly consistent but then you head to the loos and you've got a varnished OSB and exposed service facing a fairly traditional black and white sink and vanity arrangement - just weird. OSB needs replacing and an interior decorator needs to have words. Staff were friendly enough, no issues there. And they took the table move with grace - absolutely no qualms with that. Then we got the bill, and I'm still sore about it. It came to £52 which was way less than expected...because they'd forgot to put the main courses on. I was honest and suggested they review it before we pay, just about doubling it to £106. But diner be ware: its £4.50 for the olives, and a further £4.50 for the small slice of oily bread! That is just daylight robbery, and completely unclear on the menu. Too many irritating niggly bits that just stacked up to a disappointing experience. I wish we'd just paid £52 and walked away - that would have been good value but unfortunately we'll score that one off our list.

The staff was lovely, and the service was attentive, which initially gave us high hopes for the experience. However, the food turned out to be quite average, leaving us feeling disappointed, especially given how expensive it was for what was offered. The starter soup, for instance, was bland and lacked any real depth of flavor, tasting like something hastily put together. The main course, a standard roast, was nothing special, with flavors more akin to what you’d find at a Toby Carvery than what you would expect from a place that boasts nearly five-star reviews. My partner ordered the mushroom Wellington, which sadly was very dry and lacked the richness and texture you would hope for in a dish like that. To add to the disappointment, we noticed a striking inconsistency in the portion sizes served at different tables. While my roast came with two very small slices of beef, the table beside us had significantly larger portions. Even the sides, particularly the greens, were laughably small—barely enough for a spoonful per person. It felt as though we were being shortchanged while others around us were receiving far more generous servings. The experience left us with the impression that this place is more about its Instagram appeal than delivering on the quality and authenticity one would expect from a well-reviewed pub. It seems like the kind of place catering to wannabe ‘food bloggers’ rather than offering a true culinary experience at a fair price. Ultimately, it wasn’t worth the money, and we left feeling let down. Such a shame, especially considering the potential we initially sensed from the ambiance and service.

Meal was good, though I expected the steak to be more impressive given the (significant) cost. I've had better at half the price. Service excellent.

Really lovely place, steak was so good, great staff, very helpful with my wifes allergies. Will come again

Really top class food and service. Everything delicious, nothing to fault with it at all.

One of our favourites from years gone by, returning after a loooong layoff we were pleasantly surprised that the service and beer choices had remained top tier. We moved from the tap room to the restaurant for dinner, and whilst the decor and the service was maintained, food quality was not as we remembered, being, OK. not bad, just not memorable. The three of us ate various meals and all came away, if not disappointed, not exited. Angus was great and we had a good time otherwise. Hmmmm, back again in a couple of weeks so will try again.

Our first time eating chateaubriand and it was delicious! Cooked to perfection! I highly recommend the Whippet Inn!

Absolutely gorgeous steak… best I’ve had. Great staff and service.

Could not fault a thing!!! Came for my dad’s 70th and was amazed by the great food and lovely staff! Really the staff are a credit to your lovely food. We will 100% be back

Went for a Sunday roast and couldn't have been more satisfied! Roast was among best I've ever had, if not the best.

Recommended to us by Golf Par Excellence and it didn't disappoint! Great menu, service and ambience: possibly the best gastro-pub in York?!?

Bit skimpy on the sticky toffee pudding also charge for caulk cheese 😥

Fantastic place. Dog friendly and staff first class. For a special occasion highly recommend it

We visited for Sunday lunch. We arrived early and were offered to sit at our table before Sunday lunch. We had a pint of Leeds Brewery Lager (like Peroni the helpful staff member mentioned) whilst we decided what to have. We both had beef. It came rare, and the menus noted this. It was absolutely perfect. Just the way we like it. The yorkies were huge, light and delicious. Clearly an elevated Sunday lunch which we completely appreciated. Probably one of the best we’ve ever had. Pudding was gin lemon posset with a raspberry sorbet and meringue pieces. It was absolutely stunning. The perfect palette cleanser after the roast. The atmosphere was as great. It was packed by 1pm, but not uncomfortably so. The waiting staff were all so attentive, and friendly. Honestly, the whole experience was just amazing. Don’t delay. Just book up!

Over priced burnt salty burger with a few fries for £20 . Pretty much says it all . Staff nice , beer good but food was mediocre at best . Too much salt to cover up what was an over grilled and dried up burger.

The Sunday roast was absolutely incredible.. followed by possibly the best sticky toffee pudding I've ever tasted! Delicious!!

Very quiet later lunch.Bar man/waiter Angus was great,impeccable service,and thanks to chef who made me a bearnaise sauce on request.Food(4 courses plus wine)was tasty and very substantial.A great lunch.

Super meal Loved the mackerel starter and the beef on the roast dinner delicious only very small comment the yorkshire pudding was a bit dry and tough Super tasty lemon posset and sticky toffee Really friendly and efficient staff. Especially Holly who helped to make it a really enjoyable meal.

This is our third visit and it was pretty disappointing. The food was only just warm and my lentil wellington was dry and unappetising. On a positive note, the staff were attentive and friendly and the desserts were good.

Nice setting and extensive wine list. A little disappointed with the food and based on photos of others, perhaps we just got a little unlucky. The crispy, massive Yorkshire pudding was nice and light but needed more gravy. We asked for some more and were brought a minimal amount for two people. The carrot was well-cooked, as was the meat. We ordered the cauliflower cheese as an extra side which tasted lovely but definitely needed more sauce as the cheese on top had gone very crispy. The brownie with espresso chocolate sauce was delicious but again, needed more sauce/ ice cream. It was a very generous portion but sadly we weren't able to finish as the sauce was lacking. We passed this on to staff who were pleasant and did say they would pass on the feedback for future reference.

I expected so much more from this restaurant. The menu was limited. The food arrived, I had the 7oz fillet steak and my wife had a puy lentil offering. The steak seemed small for 7 oz, the chunky chips were dry and tasted like they were from a budget frozen range and not fresh. We had onion rings which came with barbeque sauce on them - no choice and did not compliment the meals in any way. My wife's puy lentil wellington (pasty) was absolutely bland and tasteless, On a brighter note, the staff were pleasant and the cocktails were ok. The coffee I received at the end however (flat white) was one of the best I have ever had. All in all this is not a cheap night out but the food did not reflect this. Could not recommend it at the wild prices they charge.

Sunday lunch we booked because of the brilliant reviews. We were very disappointed with the food. My husband’s Yorkshire pudding wasn’t cooked properly, the vegetables were coated in mint sauce. I had the vegan option but it didn’t taste very nice, the pastry was soggy at the bottom and lacked flavour. I really expected it to be brilliant from the reviews.

Didn’t feel value for money , I small fillet steak with half a tomato and a squirt of something was worth £44, chips cost £4.40 more . Presentation very poor .

I regret we went there to eat. Food was okay, no good no bad, just ordinary. We were quite starving so can’t be very good at judging it. Service was 3 out of ten. People who came later were served first we mostly were ignored by staff and we were waiting for our food which was quite simple for over an hour. In the end we got a bill with tips included what was quite a joke considering the time we spent waiting for a food. I don’t know was it a wrong time or something else but I would not recommend this place to anybody who is starving and wants to eat.

WOW, WOW, WOW! Save up, sell the children, sell a kidney, whatever it takes go get a steak at this restaurant. Incredible menu. Haven't seen Orin Swift in York since I've been here (a year now). A dirty Martini with the owners vodka phenomenal. A glass of Pinotage, so lovely. If you haven't had a Pinotage please don't dismiss South Africa's competitor to a Cabernet. So much more better per cost. Smoked salmon, beautiful presentation but I would have liked a little more creme fresh and pickles. I loved the pickled carrots tho, and the rye bread accutermonts were incredible. Bread is so different in the UK. The sprinkling of cavior was a nice touch. So delightful. The steak... Well my first reaction was "they didn't season it", which may be a Chef's choice. You can always add your own salt and pepper. But I did have an initial reaction of "Ohh...". The char was lacking, clearly cooked in an oven and not grilled. Maybe a broiler. A Texan might turn up their nose. However it was perfectly cooked. And the broccoli side dish was without criticism. Absolutely delicious! Overall one of the finest dining experiences I've had in York. Honestly the next closest experiences has been in Dublin and that's a bit far to go for dinner. So, I cannot overstate the dining pleasure that The Whippet Inn delivers. It's what we all need - dare I say weekly. What else are we working our assess off for if not for an evening being catered to and dining on some of the finestly prepared foods that money can buy. Michelin you missed this one.

Great food, great venue and lovely staff!

Cannot fault the staff (Angus) for their knowledge or passion. The food is stunning as always

Came in Wednesday with a big group and thoroughly enjoyed. Angus was so friendly and tentative, really made the experience special.

Atmosphere, Food and service were amazing. Alex and Angus were pleasant and engaging. We went there 4 times while we were in York. Delightful pub and great food and personal!!!!! We WILL be back😋😋😋

We stumbled across this gem at the recommendation of our driver. It ended up being our favorite place. Alex and Angus are not only skilled bartenders and servers, but they genuinely are great ambassadors. My only reservation about writing a great review is the fear that we won’t be able to get a table next time!

Nice restaurant in the middle of York. Surprisingly good food and tasty beers. Highly recommended if you are in York.

This place is recommended in the Blue Bell (our favourite York pub) so we thought we’d finally try Sunday lunch. Wish we’d done it before, but we’ll definitely be back.

On a weekend visit to York I spent about an hour reading reviews and recommendations online for a delicious Sunday roast. I decided on The Whippet Inn after reading lots of reviews/recommendations from visitors and locals. Well.... I cannot recommend enough! Absolutely delicious. We live in Norfolk and always try different places for a great roast dinned in our area and when on holidays/visits, and this was probably the best we've had. For any roast afficionados... The beef was fantastic, just pink, super tender and flavoursome, and no sight of any fat or cartilage etc. A nice lean cut. My partner had the chicken which was equally as good. Perfect yorkshires, all the trimmings. You can order cauliflower cheese (it's an extra you have to order on the side) which I'd highly recommend, the best cauliflower cheese we've ever tasted. The cauliflower was so soft and cheesey it just melted in the mouth (drool). Followed by two fab desserts - sticky toffee pudding and lemon & gin posset. If you enjoy a great Sunday lunch - a must visit! Perfect 👌 thank you

Amazing atmosphere and the incredible Angus the most friendly outgoing barman you'd ever like meet extremely helpful with all things york ...food was delicious and hot and prompt!! Atmosphere was also just the right tone for a busy york...chilled relaxed and friendly...highly recommend to anyone visiting york! I was in york for 2 nights and visited 3 times!! 5 star!!

Good flavours, but starter was not good value. Steak was decent. Service was a bit slow on a particularly busy day

We’ve dined at The Whippet Inn multiple times while visiting my child at York university. The food is excellent, the ambience is warm, and the service is consistently great. It is our go-to spot for a reliable and enjoyable meal. Last night’s food was no exception, fantastic, thank you Whippet Inn team!

A regular stop off on our tour of York. Always great service and choice of beers

Really brilliant Sunday roast, we all had the beef and it was served pink as promised and was so soft a baby could probably have eaten it 10/10. The starters were brilliant too, I loved the mackerel and the spring onion soup was also great. Surely one of the better roasts in York and only £25 for two courses, proper stuff.

Been here pre-covid. Some changes- such as there being noticeably less on the plate than previously. But I think that may well be the nature of things these days. Great atmosphere, terrific food (both steaks perfect) and solicitous staff.

My fiancé and I had a fantastic meal here. The service was phenomenal, from just the general demeanour of the staff, right down to the manager going out to grab gluten free crackers so I could have the cheese plate. I am a coeliac, and they dealt with it incredibly well - I felt very safe and comfortable. We really couldn't recommend this place enough, and we will be back if we're ever back in York for a visit.

Food was lovely, staff were polite and it was very good service

So disappointed with our Sunday lunch today! We were really looking forward to experiencing an excellent meal based on reviews but sadly that was not to be! Firstly the staff here are lovely and the venue is really quirky. However, if you are expecting a hearty Sunday roast you will be disappointed. The portions are really small, the beef was tough and tasteless and the huge Yorkshire pudding was frankly a waste of space. We left still hungry. This was style over substance! We did get one meal refunded and the service charge removed but if you want a decent Sunday roast look elsewhere!

Our first visit to this hidden gem, just off the beaten track and tucked away near the riverside. It was recommended by some friends and had glowing reviews so we were really pleased with the food and the service. As it was a weeknight, it was quiet but this just meant we enjoyed a nice, peaceful atmosphere. The staff were friendly and looked after us. We'll be back again soon for the lunch menu offers. Great find!

We went recently for a roast after seeing lots of recommendations online and loved everything. The food quality and taste was exceptional, the wine was perfect, the staff were really friendly and helpful. I’m already looking forward to going back and can’t wait to try more of the menu

Ridiculously small table & overpriced meal. Husband had ribeye steak which was small thin, nothing special & for £34 would expect more than a pot of chips & half a tomato as a side. The girls who served us were very nice & friendly but we would not go again.

Excellent establishment, steak was perfect as were our broccoli and thin crisps. My only suggestion would be to refrigerate the bottles of beer at a colder temperature.

I booked for Sunday lunch after reading consistently solid reviews of the place . Having now been i can add my endorsement . Quality food , good service and a lovely pub atmosphere . This well definitely be our go to spot for a Sunday roast in future .

…The Whippet is getting a reputation for dry aged steaks and executive chef Ben Allnutt has been flexing his creative muscles recently with some unusual flavours…yesterday we ordered the 60 day chocolate dry aged prime rib ! I dont say this lightly but it was quite simply the best steak that has passed my lips…succulent…packed full of flavour and each mouthful as OMG as the last ! Backed up by the front of house team …The Whippet is the only place to go for steak in York !

We had dinner here on Friday night found this fantastic restaurant via google search and I have to say this must be one of the finest restaurants in York our little dog was made more than welcome and was fussed over by the staff with treats! We both had steaks and they were wonderful and i finished with the cheese board that I also really enjoyed ! Will definitely be calling here again on our next visit to York

I’ve been off meat for 3 years.. this was the BEST reason to start eating meat again! Perfect Roast Beef, glorious Yorkshire Puds and a delicious sticky toffee cake to finish. A bit difficult to catch the eye of staff, but other wise perfect.

The food was among the best in Britain. I had a tenderloin steak, and the salad, French fries, and meat were almost perfect. The cocktail Ginger Old Fashioned was also great. However, it took too long for the food to come out, and the music was a bit loud. But this is a restaurant I definitely want to go back to. It's amazing.

As a family we had a great Sunday lunch on Fathers Day. Excellent all round.

Lovely Sunday Roast here... food was excellent. Staff very friendly. 2 courses for £25. Wine about £9.50 for 250ml.

First time here. The food was first class. Beautiful oysters T bone steak, fillet steak . Great ambient atmosphere. Great service. You won't be disappointed

Popped in for drinks only. Fantastic cocktails and very attentive staff. Definitely recommend

Just sit down and ready to be pampered. The whisky, the wine, the staff, the food. Oh the best part is the lemon and Gin and Tonic sorbet. We went there twice in a week at York.

The only thing was that nobody came to ask us what drink we'd like before coming and taking our food order so was waiting quite a while without a drink. Everything else was excellent, food was amazing. Would definitely return.

Great spot for Sunday lunch, good atmosphere and the food was 10/10. Will be back!

Brilliant staff, the drinks were excellent, but the food stole the show. We had the Sunday Lunch which I would have added a photo for if I hadn't just devoured it. The cocktails were great with some good twists on the old fashioned. Highly recommended, but make sure you book.

we went for Sunday lunch which was absolutely amazing the beef was out of this world the Yorkshire puddings were fab and the side of cauliflower cheese was lovely the staff were all really nice and it’s also dog friendly in some areas will definitely be back again

As the reviews say the food is excellent and the 15 hour potatoes cooked in duck fat is a must. What made it so special for my husband and me was the exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable waiters. We had such a great evening in a wonderful atmosphere. This restaurant is definitely worth trying!

Fantastic steak. cooked to your liking.

Very disappointed, husband ordered the T-bone which was inedible, our friends ordered the fillet steak which was cold and tougher than it should have been. Fed this back but didn’t get any explanation or apology.

Great service and food served in gorgeous surroundings. Very characterful. Outside seating area is well laid out also. A little suntrap with the sunshine out. Having looked at the drinks menu you can tell quality product is used with attention to detail given. The team were very friendly, and well done to the kitchen team serving up such delicious Sunday roast and dessert. Recommended!

We picked this restaurant because of the reviews and needless to say the food was excellent and the 15 hour potatoes cooked in duck fat were sensational. What really makes this a great place to eat is the waiters. Everyone we met was charming, helpful and efficient. The Inn has a lovely ambience and you cannot fail to have an enjoyable evening.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Our Sunday lunch was superb with excellent starters (smoked mackerel wrapped in sliced cucumber and pulled lamb croquettes). With a great roast beef with the biggest Yorkshire pudding ever!! Great value for a great Sunday lunch. Well worth booking and have recommended to others.

Enjoyed a fantastic Sunday lunch at The Whippet Inn. Booked in advance as we were visiting York for the weekend and wanted to find the best place for a vegetarian roast, and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, and the Yorkshire pudding one of the best I've tasted, as well as the sticky toffee pudding! Friendly, attentive service, with an extensive drinks list too. Great atmosphere inside, would highly recommend a visit here.

Top food, lovely ambience. Steaks to die for. Dog friendly too. Rug munching vegans, pony tailed irons I’d move on somewhere else

I and my family had a great time. Aged beef steak was wonderful and the staff service was excellent as well.

Came here as a party of 6 and was given the room at the front all to ourselves. The decor is quirky and creates a warm, welcoming and cosy feel. The food was excellent and everyone around the table commented how delicious their food was. We all had different dishes so got to see quite a mix of the menu. It was all so beautifully presented. Service was also excellent. Cannot fault anything. When we are next in York we most definately will return.

Absolutely, incredibly excellent! From the staff, to the food. The whole experience was faultless. A special mention to Alice who was amazing! Her recommendations (the T-Bone & Chateaubriand) were fabulous as well as her amazing service! Alice is an absolute credit to the venue! 100% will be returning and recommending!

We booked for Sunday lunch , recommended as it’s very popular, rightly so as the food is excellent. Melt in the mouth roast beef and succulent roast chicken. There was a reasonably priced wine list with an excellent Cabernet Sauvignon that complemented the beef perfectly. Icing on the cake was the staff who were attentive, efficient and friendly.

Outstandingly good in all respects: ambience, drinks, service, price, and I challenge you to find a better roast beef Sunday dinner. Top drawer by any standards. Highly recommended.

We have been many times, staff are lovely but food overpriced for potions size. Steaks were much bigger don’t think I will book again

I booked a table here as I really wanted to try their roast which had good reviews. I was disappointed to learn they stopped serving them at 1630 and my table was booked for 1730. However I quickly found a substitute and it did not disappoint! Ribeye steak with a side of duck fat potatoes and the pea, bacon and baby onion salad 👌🏻 I then followed this up with the banoffee bread and butter pudding. Sensational. Would highly recommend coming here for dinner. I hope to return soon.

Sunday lunch. The beef was melt in the mouth. The veggies however are what stops this being a 5 star review. All the veggies were under seasoned. I don’t as a habit add salt to my plate today I did. The cauliflower cheese was in parts so hard I struggled to get a knife through it. The roast potatoes had a look of those that are deep fried them finished in the oven. Again some were still a little hard not as soft and yielding in the middle as I prefer. Dessert we plumped for the posset and sticky toffee pudding. Both superb. The service was great and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming with a vibe that suits both young and the not so young. I will happily return we paid over £40 per head but that included wine and a healthy tip Tomorrow we are driving up to the sister pub The Stone Trough Inn @Kirkham Abbey

The most amazing food ever eaten

Excellent food. Went for the fish which was lovely. Limited range of beers but great atmosphere and good friendly service. Will definitely go again.

This place was a very pleasant surprise in York. We came for the meat, and stayed for the wine and gorgeous desert. Their wine selection is very good and we ended up drinking one of their recommendations which was a surprisingly smooth Colombinan “14 hands” red. We started with some pardon peppers and pigs’ cheek, followed with a ribeye and t-bone, with the meat cooked to perfection, and in between tried the Sicilian lemon and Aperol spritz sorbets (sweet and tasty). The final surprise was the Banoffee bread & butter pudding with ice cream, which was one of the best puddings I have ever tasted, with smild flavours of peanut, banana and raisins. Highly recommend

Absolutely beautiful from start to finish. Very interesting decor

Highly recommend for Sunday lunch. Service was very efficient and professional.

Came here again for date night. Always a go to place when thinking of where to go. This time really was the best dining experience I’ve had in York! Our server Alex was knowledgeable, funny and very attentive! I had the prime rib which he suggest cooked medium (usually I’m a rare man but followed his intuition) the best steak I’ve ever had! He also recommended the samurai Shiraz which was a bloody lovely drop! Thanks for having me again! Can’t wait for my next visit! And thanks to Alex! P.s nail varnish remover did work!

Fine dining without being pretentious. The signature fillet was absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend enough!
