The York Roast Co. in York

Terrible rude staff ordered first and was waiting 20mins or so other customers getting they orders meanwhile never got mine walked out with refund terrible experience.

I’ve been wanting to try this for a long time The meat looked good in the shop My pork scratchings were burnt and had way too much salt on them The potatoes had an artificial taste

The shop was quiet so we took the opportunity of an early lunch. Ordered 2 roasties and ate in upstairs. The meals are served in a cardboard box with wooden cutlery. A bit of a challenge to eat but we managed as the food was very good with tender juicy meat. Unfortunately the premises are filthy and this is not the best environment in which to eat your meal. The place needs closing down for a week, deep cleaning and redecorating. Take away would be a better option.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Had the pork sandwiches which the pork was thickly sliced, stuffing roasties bit of gravy with extra portion of pork scratchings which was £4.50 a tub. Little expensive but well worth it, was best we've ever had, really crispy without all the slimey fat. Highly recommend it. Only downside was having to go upstairs to dine in. Where the upstairs could really do with a clean. Cobwebs with flies on window. Toilet could do with a Thorough going over too. But food was spot on. 👌 atmosphere. There was only us upstairs dining.

Came here yesterday to get a yorkshire wrap but they didn't have any left so ended up getting the naked roast.

Had a beef Yorkie wrap & a roast in a big pudding. Overall brilliant but the queue was massive! I’d say it was worth the wait though. It’s quite small so getting a large volume of people through is tough. There’s another one in the city centre that didn’t seem as busy so will head there next time! Gravy was bag on & got a pot of crackling too!

Visited the Stone gate/Goodram Gate restaurant on 30/10/24 mid afternoon when it was not very busy. Despite this the service was at a snail's pace and staff seemed very disengaged. Once I'd paid at the till I could see terrible state of food prep area, vwry messy, food hygiene gloves and scraps of food littered the floor, while the person at the till said he had to wait until he could take the next order as there was a backlog but just stood there looking bored instead of finding a broom to clear the area. When our food was made, we went upstairs to seating area only to find the most disgusting site, dirty tables, bins overflowing, and a filthy floor and walls. Went back down to ask if there was anyone avaliable to give area a clean and was told by staff member that there was spray and blue roll to clean it ourselves. Food was tasty but very slim pickings in terms of meat and tbh if I'd had seen the state of the seating and prep area before ordering I'd have stayed well away. Considering people left reviews about the state of the place over a month ago I would expect it to have been adressed by now. Emailed directly, no response hence the review. Score in the door's 4 rating is generous.

The queue (expect a wee wait) was served quickly and we enjoyed our meal

Roast dinner in a Yorkshire pudding 🍮 x2 for me and the wife. Busy place ,queue for about 15 mins ,not to bad as York was heaving .

We waited 30 mins in the queue & am not even exaggerating. You could tell the staff didn’t want to be there working in slow mo, chilling no urgency. The roast potatoes were undercooked and cold, and disappointing this place is so overrated would never return.

Wanting a wrap for so long! Staff was very welcoming and helpful today! I will definitely coming back

Awful service with tired and bored staff, no queue system difficult to know who was next when waiting for food. Beef wrap was full of carrot with no green veg at all and served with stuffing which we didn't order. Prep area was messy. You don't get to see this until your at the collection area. Disappointed. Shambles market food much nicer.

Was really looking forward to finally trying this but was so so disappointed with it. Horrendous, rude service, cold, stale food and stingy portions. Won’t be going again. Turkey was mainly fat. Potatoes were stale. Just a load of rubbish. Do better.

Make a favor to yourself and don’t get fooled from people waiting outside . I eat pretty much anything and it was the first time I didn’t finish my food ,it was beyond atrocious

A rather poor Roast Pork sandwich full of potato and stuffing with a small amount of cold 'roast pork'. No crackling. Very slow service.

Don’t be deceived by the display at this restaurant, as the portions are very small. The huge chunk of pork with the crispy top is just a decoration, as they don't even give you cracklings when you order with pork meat. The staff don’t seem happy and aren’t very welcoming; you feel like a nuisance when you walk in. The food was mediocre—you’ll get a little of everything, like two or three strips of carrots and a few beans. The pudding was cold, and there was very little meat. I wouldn’t recommend this place if you’re looking for an authentic York Roast. ❌❌❌

Awesome wrap and great customer service by Jack and Susanne

The food was lovely, I can't fault it at all, the staff also lovely, and I was so lucky to arrive when there was no queue so I was served instantly. The reason behind the 3 stars (would be 5 if it wasn't for this) I'm assuming the owner, came downstairs and told the staff behind the counter not to let anyone other than customers use the toilet (completely fair especially in a tourist trap area) but the way this was directed at the employees was rather abrupt, and rude and it was repeated multiple times infront of me waiting for my order. I'm sure they understood the first time. As someone who's worked in hospitality for over 10 years, and has a few years as a duty manager under the belt, barking orders to your employees isn't how you should conduct yourself at all, but to do so infront of or in the vicinity of your customers (where they're able to hear) is absolutely inappropriate and I'm confident will have made the staff feel embarrassed. I agree that paying customers only should have access, and if staff members haven't followed the rules absolutely they should be put straight, but never infront of other employees and especially not customers. I do hope this is taken as advice, because it truly is, show the incredible staff you have some integrity and recognition.

Massive thank you to the staff. I had 7 meals to order, 5 children who all wanted different things and sauces etc. very polite and helpful. Absolutely lovely food. Thank you ☺️

Was recommended by a friend to truly this place out, we were right in York's city centre and found it easily. The service was good and quick, and they were all so polite! The food was delicious, and just as it should taste for a hearty Sunday roast, we had the Yorkshire wrap, and it was to die for. With seating as well for those who didn't want it on the go. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting York, an absolute must try!!!

Had our 1st ever Yorkshire pudding wrap. It was ok, disappointed that it was just factory made Yorkshire pudding, the beef was nice and gravy was ok. Went up stairs to eat it. After finishing it, went to use the toilet. My shock and disgust how filthy the toilet was. The floor didn't look like it had been mopped,and behind the door and on the door it's self was thick with dirt and grime. It was absolutely disgusting.

I dream of this place sometimes.. Always hits the spot 😩

Never seen such miserable staff. The young girl at the counter couldn’t care less and clearly didn’t want to be there, the food didn’t hit the spot either. Wasn’t hot or flavourful, would not return.

This is the worst meal choice ever. Tough as nails and sinewy beef roast. The wooden cutlery has no chance. Very expensive for what you get...avoid at all costs as this place is rubbish. Avoid

I don't normally do reviews but was so disappointed that I thought I would do it this time. Veg was all undercooked, potatoes very dry with not enough gravy to make it at least edible. The meat was actually nice. I asked for pork and my wife had beef. When I asked if I could have some crackling I was then sold a cup of crackling that was so tough it was unedible. And paid £4 for the privilege .We had ours to eat in, where the food was still served in a cardboard box and then we found it hard to actually eat as everything was so tough to cut with the rubbish wooden cutlery we were given. And to top it off the dine in area was messy with the bins overflowing. I will definitely not be going back.

We decided to eat here as the roasted meats in the window looked amazing. The gentleman was very polite and helpful who served my husband. That's about the only good thing about the experience here. I went upstairs to find us a table. The whole place looked very dirty and uninviting. The wooden knives and forks were useless that were provided to eat our meal. The food was very underwhelming, we had a Yorkshire pudding beef wrap. The meat was very tender, but not very flavourful. It tasted of not alot, the veg inside was very overcooked. It was edible. Bland is the word I would use. When we finished our meal we both used the bathrooms provided. They were absolutely filthy. They need a deep clean. Such a shame as the food looked really good from the outside.

Very good quality price products ,highly recommend the slow cook beef or pork ,definitely we will be back

Nothing great honestly. The bread pudding was rather tough.

Avoid. Service was just as cold and limp as the Yorkshire Pudding roast. Frozen veg and pudding with bland gravy. Meat was edible. Asked for crackling but told it was only for display purposes. Served in boxes with wooden cutlery. Ate upstairs but wished we hadn’t. Tables filthy, boxes of half eaten dinners left on tables that had clearly been there a while. Do not waste your money, very disappointed.

Nice! Amazing pork and puds. Nothing to fault

The wrap I had wasn't very nice, and the seating area upstairs needs a good clean, 2 wraps, and some pork scratchings £21 so it's not really worth it, I was disappointed, the staff was friendly.

went today had the sandwich paid extra for beef, what I got was a small roll which the meat was stone cold advertised with a side of stuffing gravy and roasts what I got was one roast potatoe squashed into the roll and some horrible stuffing and the smallest dribble of gravy for ten pounds. went to chippy after as was rubbish. avoid

Hate to say this but it was a rip off. 2 small pieces of beef in a badly unholdable wrap. It all hype with no delivery. It something made famous by instagram but in reality its just overpriced hype

The staff was professional and fast. The ordering area and the waiting area are mixed, so it was a bit chaotic. The beef wrap was disappointing. Very bland, not much beef inside. Stuff like this is giving the British cuisine a bad reputation.

Walked in and queued up, the amount of flies in there put me off immediately. All meat, vegetables and potatoes uncovered. Not worth the tummy bug.

Pretty good but not as warm as I'd like

Had a Yorkshire Wrap with turkey, and it was lovely - the order was taken quickly but was a little slow to make, this is because it was all made fresh to order. The dining area upstairs could have done with being a little cleaner as the tables were a little sticky, but all the available staff were dealing with an influx of lunchtime customers so this was a genuine oversight. Definitely recommended

Food is awesome but can get super busy at weekends we went and they ran out of wraps and had to wait a while. But overall a great place

The meat was good, but the vegetables were raw. The main issue is that the box is too small to comfortably eat the meal, and the tables were also dirty.

We went in here today Food was okay But the girl who saved us wasn’t very pleasant I don’t think she wanted to work there very abrupt Get a new job!

Bad service and unclear communication. Not kid friendly. No room. The taste of the wrap is so so. I have to say that Toby Carvery's is 10 times better at the very least. Sorry to say so, but it is true.

Yorkshire pud meal Carrots, severely undercooked, there's aldenty and raw. Had at least 4 green beans the meat wasn't sliced with knife but ripped apart by hand. Not all ingredients that were advertised were added to my meal including the lack of sauce requested. Overpriced, undercooked and overrated.

I had a naked beef roast with veggies and potatoes. The meat itself was very good and tasty. However, the box is too small and it’s very hard to eat that way. Carrots and green beans were hard (seemed raw). I appreciate the place gets busy but it was very dirty as well.

Arrived here at midday , was fairly busy but served quickly , roast potatoes were not crispy and hardly any gravy , were served cold by the time our whole order was ready , really not worth the £19 I paid for roast potatoes and a turkey sandwich , staff were on their phones during service and didn't seem over friendly , I would not eat here again afraid

Visited today, staff were lovely and friendly. The sandwich was absolutely beautiful! There was a perfect ratio of bun, meat, sauce, stuffing, and potatoe! Left with a belly full and a craving to go back! One of the best ones by far!

Small portion, overpriced and underseasoned. I got a pork wrap with apple sauce and a beef wrap with horseradish both where underwhelming.

Poor quality food. Weighing the meat is a bit odd so that you only get a certain amount, for the extortionate price you should get a decent amount. Won’t be going there again.

Food was bland. Got the yorkshire pudding wrap. No seasoning just boiled veg, bland meat, meh gravy and tiny bit of cranberry sauce. Service was poor. Took ages and forgot our order. Gave us complimentary roast potatoes but these were barely cooked and raw. The cook had a loudspeaker phone conversation about how half the stock had gone mouldy. Not great. Finally got our seats in the upstairs and the bin was right next to us, completely overflowing and rubbish everywhere. Not good, taken a gimmick and forgotten about the important bits of selling food.

Staff were so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, and the meat was so tender that it melted in your mouth. Stuff and roast potatoes were soft and fresh. Overall, the Yorkshire pudding wraps were really good . The seating area is very quirky and adds to the experience and has a toilet 🚻 you can use before going off and exploring the rest of york. The only downside was that it did not come with gravy, and this is an extra you buy for £2.50 in a cup, or you can buy a splash of it, but if you're like me a splash just doesn't cut it. Overall, my experience was really good and the food was too. The only thing I think could be better is gravy coming with the meals. 9.5/10 .

Sunday dinner in a wrap, tasty way to finish a night out in York.

The roast wrap was delicious!! If you’re visiting York definitely worth a visit

Visited 20 minutes before closing. The staff wasn't very friendly and the food tasted horrible. Feels like they just want to serve people and shut the store ASAP to go home.

We had lunch with their wrap, an experience to absolutely try, the meat is soft and the wrap is fantastic...

What started as a long queue was rather more of a hype than quality food. Service staff was emotionless, cold and it total mess as everyone just stood around waiting for the food not knowing who was next. Tables were self cleaning… at no time did we see any staff come by to clear or clean the tables. Food was just a short comfort meal. Nothing too fantastic so, don’t expect too much of your meal. However, I do say it was nice. Not too bad, it was well cooked but not as flavourful as you will expect. It was poured over with gravy so that kinda covers all the taste.

Quite disappointing to be honest. Food was luke warm and trying to eat with wooden cutlery was near on impossible. Also the Yorkshire pudding was bought in .

I ordered the York pud roast with beef and it was really good. It comes with potatoes and stuffing.

There was no filling? No potatoes. Just scraps of some beef. So it was underwhelming to say the least..

I should have taken a photo of my sandwich as it was nothing like these images that are put up. £7.50 and it was terrible. Not carved off the roast as I expected but just picked off bits from pieces on the counter top. Big lump of grizzle in the pork too, never again. Staff were so disengaged. I remember it being MUCH better than this years ago. Definitely Greggs next time.

Didn’t give everything that we ordered. Was still nice but not exactly what we’d expected - room for improvement.

Great roast in a huge Yorkshire pudding.

The most bland food I ever ate in my entire life. This place is extremely overrated. The ambiance was nothing special, with uncomfortable seating and poor lighting. Overall, a very disappointing experience. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a decent meal. The pudding wrap was tasteless and without any spice or salt.

This is a great place for a tasty Yorkshire pudding wrap! It comes in a recyclable container. Some problems however: it takes a while to prepare so you're stood waiting for a while. It's an old building so the dining area isn't the best, and the old toilets were a little bit smelly.

One of my favourite meals in a Yorkshire pudding wrap, ingenious! It was delicious and scoffed in no time at all.I really enjoyed the roast beef wrap. I would not have expected a roast to be a grab and go meal but it works for me. I gave four stars due to the state of the toilet.

The look and smell of this shop is like hearing the voices of the 'sirens' singing come to me. However A little like those Greek mythological creatures the allure is a little more than the reality. I didn't realise the wrap was a cold, flat Yorkshire pudding. It says it on the menu but trying to decide what you want with a queue building pressured me into buying a 'wrap' as opposed to a sandwich. But I was still happy with this until I had it. In the wrap you get turkey or pork or I think beef was an option too. Carrots, beans with stuffing and cranberry as options plus gravy. Wrapped then re- warmed in a grill. It's not that big, maybe 15cm, and doesn't hold together that well so not easy to eat. Taste wise, cold, soft Yorkshire pudding isn't great at the best of time, a little gravy which has no disernable flavour and veg that has the texture of cooked veg re-warmed in a microwave was not improved with the very small amount of shredded meat which failed to add any real value. Overall it was a tasteless stodge that was over priced and difficult to eat being very dry. At the cost charged it was extreamly poor value. I think it's a great idea and twist on 'street' food but doesn't compete with the burrito or kebab. But I think it could, just needs more work. Other options like a boxed meal might be better value or if you aren't particularly fussy it might suit. But for not much more you can sit down in a nearby pub and have a better meal altogether. If your in a rush though, go for chips.

MAY 2024 Managed to get a table upstairs this time, just a shame my pork wrap didn't have the apple sauce I was expecting! DEC 2023 Since I was in York for an overnight December trip, I got the Christmas Wrap- with turkey, of course! It was stuffed with seasonal veg, and the Yorkshire Pudding wrap itself was soft and complementary. Having to eat standing up near the counter was a tad impractical: I wish they’d keep the seating area open a little longer for late-evening diners.

Food is ok - tasty but overpriced for what it is, and just about overblown by the yorkie pud trend.

Alright food but no rush in making orders would have been quicker to go out and kill turkey myself

Really underwhelming sandwiches.

We had the turkey with Yorkshire pudding and was bug enough for at least 1 person even with the extra stuffing balls. Even though the setup was designed more for take away, there is seating upstairs. Well worth going to again.

Nice Yorkshire pudding wrap, ham was a little dry but flavours were nice. There is a seating area upstairs to eat inside. Uncomplicated premise and operation, wraps are pressed on a grill once made up so it's a couple minutes wait once your order is placed so bear that in mind if you're in a rush.

Fun place for an 'authentic' Yorkshire roast. Good meals at a reasonable price. It can get busy, but well worth a visit if doing the York touristy thing...

The Yorkie wraps are overpriced and overhyped. Vegetables weren’t the best with little variety; squeaky green beans and undercooked carrots. Meat was nice but the actual Yorkshire pudding was quite stale. Lack of gravy made it really dry. Disappointing.

Been coming to York for a lot of years and all ways visited the hog roast but i,am sad to say the food is not as good as once was 😕

Great and fun way to eat a Yorkshire pudding meal....I had the ham- it was delicious and the mustard was a great kick to the flavor.

The sandwich bread was strange, not the most delicious, the meat had good flavor.

The food is really good but the portions are pathetic for what you have to pay for it. Therefore I can’t recommend it for that price. If portion sizes increase or prices decrease significantly I’d eat here again. Until then I will eat elsewhere, where I can get much more for the money.

Everything said about the other location also applies here.

The men did their best to make something of it, but even my pet won't eat this food and I won't say anything about the price. the box is also so greasy on the outside that it slides off the tray. All in all, it's a shame that the pig had to live for this. Sorry about the food and sorry about the pig.

Shame staff who were friendly didn't listen fully to the order as it was wrong when recieved but otherwise fresh well cooked and very enjoyable .Our fault we didn't return item but husband was very tired after a long walk around york xx

My first visit on a day trip to York - wasn’t disappointed. Delicious beef Yorkshire pudding wrap. Nice cosy space - found a good time to go as not too busy. Pleasant service. Look forward to going again on my next trip to York.

Just what we needed on a busy Saturday night when every restaurant was fully booked - and this meal was much better value too

It was my first time in York and I've read recommendations to try this shop. And so we did, and it didn't disappoint. YP was massive and got me filled. I love Yorkshire puddings! ❣️

Fantastic food and great price. The way to a Yorkshire Lass’s heart ❤️ Sunday roast in a giant Yorkshire pudding ! What more could a girl ask for ? Indoor seating or take away. A must when visiting York

You can eat Yorkshire puddings here, which is highly recommended. Unfortunately, even for eating in the house there are only cardboard boxes and disposable cutlery. A pity !

I was so excited to try this place but I found the food very average. The potatoes were kinda hard and not crispy. The meat was nice though. I ordered pork but didn’t receive any crackling :( Only good thing about this place was the staff.

Sadly I think this was over hyped. I waited all day to get here and try one of their “famous” Yorkshire pudding wraps. It was super dry and bland. One big disappointment.

Best spot for a yorkshire pudding wrap! Friendly staff and quick service, with seating upstairs. Long queue at lunch time but It moves quickly. Vegetarian options available.

Had a takeaway "Naked Roast", went down an absolute treat ✌️

A lovely restaurant with a unique selection of Yorkshire puddings and roasts. Very friendly service, excellent food.

Nice little place with seatings available upstairs. Roughly it seats 20 people so not a big space. The roast were nice but the portion of the meat was lacking, however you can ask for more meat for an extra £2.50. The stuffing was good, not too heavy or salty. The veggies were okay, a bit bland and carrots were a bit too hard for me. If you have to pick between pork or beef roast, I'd suggest pork because it was very tender and soft. Also, remember to ask them to keep the skin or they will remove the crunchy skin! I spent roughly £12 per person including a drink (cup of tea).

Only one order out of five were delivered Just as what we asked for. 👎🏻

Delicious food and fast and great service.

York Street Food Roast pork sandwich with apple sauce, delicious But the portion is too much Burritos might be better

Amazing gem of a place, food was great!

Not great. Food appeared frozen and cooked.

Looks delish, but taste is sadly lacking. Messy to eat, with flat wood cutlery.

Had the turkey Yorkshire pudding wrap. Very tasty, just quite messy to eat! Would definitely recommend if in York.

Amazing food,piping hot and really tasty. Staff very friendly and welcoming. The manager Miguel gave a great welcome. Would throughly recommend. Venue is great. 5 stars from me!

The service was great and friendly and the food was delicious

First time in York and tried their pork and beef roasts. Really great food, great atmosphere, will definitely be coming back.
