The Whippet Inn in York

Lovely cosy restaurant, fab and knowledgeable staff . Menu was great and the food was delicious. We all had steaks which were cooked to perfection.

From The minute we walked in the staff were friendly and attentive. The ambience was lovely. The drinks and the food were absolutely top knotch and it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a while. Millie our waitress was warm funny and genuine. The staff here are clearly happy at work which is lovely to see. My steak was tasty and cooked how I like it . I would definitely recommend here and we will definitely return after such a memorable evening.

The inn was beautiful and the staff were lovely. But the steak, OMG the steak was delicious. The best steak that my husband and I have had for years. I could not recommend it enough.

We enjoyed a really tasty family Sunday lunch here. The food was excellent and good value, staff were friendly and the atmosphere was buzzy and warm.

My friend and I needed somewhere to eat and The Whippet accommodated our booking at 8.30pm. We arrived early and table was not ready so we enjoyed a lovely cocktail at the bar. We were soon taken to our table where we ordered. Food took a while to arrive but the fillet steak we ordered was absolutely delicious!

We had a Sunday roast as we had seen rave reviews on TikTok. The food was very lovely, I’m gluten free and the roast was adapted to my dietary requirements, this meant no Yorkshire pudding. For the price and reputation I would have expected to receive more vegetables or meat for the lack of Yorkshire pudding, however I didn’t receive anything else which is slightly disappointing as I’m paying the same price. The gluten free stick toffee pudding was very lovely and overall it was a very pleasant visit.

Delicious Sunday dinner, opted for the 3 course menu and were perfectly full but not uncomfortably so. Good choice of wines around the £30 mark with some significantly pricier if you choose. Vegetarian option delicious and came with all the trimmings, beef dinner also great. Sticky toffee pudding excellent. Service was good, very relaxing atmosphere and no rush between courses. Would definitely return

Completely unacceptable thin ribeye steak was presented. I’m really not sure how they could possibly create such a tough little bit of meat from one of my favourite cuts. When I complained the waitress took it away and reheated it saying that it’s a bit fatty because it’s an ex dairy steak. Rubbish. I nervously accepted an offer for a replacement fillet steak which was acceptable. On the other hand are starters had been delicious. Apart from the incident with a steak the other waiting staff were friendly and welcoming. What a great shame that the steaks actually let down what could be a really lovely night out.

Cold steak on cold plates...chunky chips good as was rocket hazelnut and parmesan shavings salad also good but they really can't go wrong with these two, do not order the olives as they are very poor quality and very hard...very attentive staff

Great group dinner! The Whippet Inn in York offers a welcoming, traditional pub experience with a modern twist. Located near the city center, it’s known for its great selection of craft beers, real ales, and ciders, alongside an impressive menu featuring elevated pub classics. The cozy yet contemporary interior boasts wooden furnishings, a warm atmosphere, and friendly, knowledgeable staff who are eager to recommend drinks or offer insights into the menu. The food is a standout, with dishes like tender steaks, hearty pies, and fresh seafood. The Whippet Inn is a fantastic spot for any occasion in York.

We dined here on a snowy day in January for a special family meal and were given a warm welcome. The food was sublime and service excellent. We will definitely be back! Thank you.

overpriced facade, below average food

We had a fantastic meal with superb customer service throughout from Alice. She really couldn’t have done more to help us and was incredibly positive and enthusiastic. Until we had arrived at The Whippet Inn all of our meals in York had been disappointing but this made up for all of those. They also quickly set up a table for us in the bar area as we had our dog with us. A special mention for the deep-fried cornichons!! So tasty!!! Thanks again and wishing all of the staff a happy New Year.

Delicious Sunday roast and great value for money! The staff were polite and friendly, and the atmosphere was very warm and cosy. We did have to wait some time for our food to arrive, but apart from that, no complaints here.

Lovely Sunday lunch today. Service, staff and food were great.

Good champagne prices, tasty food, cosy atmosphere (more of a pub vibe), really good playlist! Shame they were out of oysters but gives me a reason to go back (scallops were a good alternative). Burger and fish are a bit on the pricier side but the quality you get makes this reasonable. Also serve food til quite late and were understanding an event overran making me late which I appreciate.

Blooming excellent!! Great place for a treat. Super tasty food, good vegetarian options thank you. Lovely service. Great music. Loved it!

Lovely but cold steak! Very good staff, excellent at accommodating our little eccentricities

Very nice atmosphere and very tasty British food, actually felt more like a pub than an upmarket restaurant. Highly recommended.

We celebrated with family our recent engagement. Having never been to the Whippet before, we thought we’d try it. The cocktails at the beginning of the night were a little disappointing - don’t bother with these. My fiance and I had an oyster each to start - huge mistake. It must’ve been off because 36 hours later we were violently sick and had awful diarrhoea. This is really disappointing for a restaurant that holds itself in high esteem. The mains were very tasty though and enjoyed by all. I have to say that we won’t be rushing back any time soon.

Booked for a Sunday roast whilst in York for the weekend A bit chaotic when we arrived as it was busy and the table wasn't ready so we had to stand in the bar area, which was small and full of guests trying to enjoy their food. The food was delicious and one of the best roasts I have had Definitely worth a visit

Adults only! Wish this was made clearer on the website, as tourists to York we weren't aware of this unusual policy. Should be visible on the booking and confirmation emails - we got turned away with a 5 month old baby after having booked weeks in advance. I understand the need for the policy and respect the idea, but should be on the front page of the website and much more clearly communicated, we'd have made other arrangements if we'd have known.

Worst Rib Eye Steak I’ve ever had. Ex Dairy Cow… What you mean to say is it’s old meat and therefore going to be like leather

Great food, decent service from a young team. I would only suggest no dogs in the back room. It is quite expensive. I don't expect to pay £50 a head to sit with dogs barking.

Great place for Sunday Lunch. Big Yorkshire Puddings. Good selection of wines and couple of real ales. We were party of six and all enjoyed the food. Staff are very efficient.

Really disappointing. £34 for a steak that was not even a ribeye never mind a good ribeye, I’m not sure how you send that out of the kitchen if you’re professionally trained chef. I rarely leave bad reviews but tonight’s meal for me and my partner was so poor both in quality and value I felt I should. We used to love coming here, but I’m sorry to say we won’t be back. Something has changed and I’m not sure what but it is a poor reflection of what it used to be.

As a local, been there a few times and normally love the food , but avoid the special Christmas menu, the pork was not crackling, the sticky toffee pudding was burned, there was a hair inside the pork. Definitely going to give it a pass for a while. Service was appalling too as they could see we were not happy and did nothing to apologize or make us enjoy the experience more!

Very attentive and friendly staff, they have a genuineness that is too rarely found in many hospitality venues. Good is very high quality and extremely tasty. Updated November 2024. Visited again and enjoyed another tremendous meal, full credit to the team.

We visited the Whippet as a treat whilst staying in York. The service was quick and friendly, and the steaks we ordered were delicious! Cooked just as requested. Really good portion sizes and a great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend!

Food okay, service rubbish, I think the waiter was drunk

Found by chance on a google search as we were staying at the hotel opposite. Not much signage outside so easy to miss which would be a shame as we had a lovely meal. Staff welcoming and friendly throughout. Started with the padron peppers and a very nice bottle of wine. The dog’s burger was fabulous Would definitely return if we lived nearer.

My new favourite pub, what a find, great food and drinks in the city at proper prices. Shames other establishments. Give them a try.

I've never been somewhere where the staff are consistently amazing, friendly and accommodating to our lil dog. Beautiful sunday roast, not intimidating portion sizes, just perfect!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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

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.

Great food, great venue and lovely staff!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
