Pub in York

“I went here last week for a birthday meal and it was great! Great service, pretty environment and very friendly staff! We were welcomed and seated pretty much as soon as we walked in and the waiting time for the food was decent! Zara who was serving us was lovely, such a great service! We weren’t waiting too long and the food was also really good. The burger I had was delicious and the fries were good too! I especially loved the little pot of sauce that came with the meal! The meal was also beautifully presented! Very friendly and welcoming place that serves really nice food! Definitely recommend :)”

“Wow. What a place. Absolutely buzzing with atmosphere on a Thursday night. We didn’t order food (apart from a couple of packet of tasty Yorkshire Crisps) but the food & portions looked awesome. Great selection for all tastes (Carnie, Veggie & Vegan). We got the only two seats at the very narrow bar and had a right laugh with the no-nonsense bar crew. It was so easy to order drinks using a number on the display next to the bar. The beautiful wooden rafters and full taxidermy wall make the upstairs bar one of the maddest place to get a pint. I think there is a potato is a big cat’s mouth. Standard. Sheepskin covered church pew and candles in bottles with years of dripping wax adds to the madness. As well as the incredible selection of cask & keg, they had Whitby Rum on the shelf. No generic spirits here! Oh and the soundtrack… The bar crew were playing what they like. Not what the brewery tells them to. Refreshing! Can’t wait to return.”

“Visited here as part of York Restaurant Week. That chicken mandi was unbelievably tasty, can tell the right amount of seasoning was used. I could see the restaurant owner adjusting the lights to enhance the dining atmosphere, which I find very nice. I also had a soup with a spicy kick to it. Like others have commented, I never tried Yemeni food so made it even better.”

“We stayed here for out visit to york. Its an amazing location and accessible to all key places in city. There is only one parking space. If you have a second car, it has to be parked on the road. there is a parking permit provided by the owner. So, its also covered. house is good and cosy. All ameneties are available.”

“Wow what a perfect spot! The food from here is amazing! Even though I'm not a vegan, and this really does beat 90% of other traditional burger and chicken spots. The food is so fresh and delicious and am told is full of protein! The staff are amazing and the atmosphere is perfect for date nights. Can't recommend this place enough!”

“Great place for food especially on a Sunday, gets busy so booking is a good idea”

“What an amazing place to stay, rooms are to a very high standard as train carriages quirky and amazing. Staff are very friendly and the service is second to none. The food here is absolutely amazing, me and my wife had an amazing stay would recommend and we will be back.”

“Fantastic place to visit, loved the interesting music related decor and whole atmosphere of the cafe. We attended a music bingo night and had a fun time. The owners were great hosts and had put on a fab event. There is a good selection of drinks available, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I would also highly recommend the grilled cheese sandwiches. We had the all-day breakfast and smokestack lighting sandwiches, and they were delicious.”

“We stayed one night and it was such a peaceful place — amazing views of the Minster. The staff were kind and helped us find good vegan breakfast spots”

“One of our favourite places for a boogie in York. Banging music, service us good. Only feedback was the toilets which were a state and could so with someone cleaning them up every hour. Whilst u understand its a late night pub not all of us are 18 and can't handle our ale so having a pee in a cleaner place is always appreciated”

“A good night for entertainment. A game of bingo ,open the box a music quiz and a singer .What more can you want . Very friendly. Spotlessly clean and modern . Oh and a raffle for a meat prize. Cheap drinking as well. Well worth a visit.”

“No 10...just the best for food and lovely customer service. Thank you for today, it was for my mum and to celebrate her birthday too. You have all been so lovely and totally made her day.”

“Always have a delicious meal when we come here. My partner is obsessed with the country fried steak. It’s super yummy. I had the mac and cheese on this occasion and it filled me up. They do such good comfort foods and great cocktails to go with”

“Seriously delicious food. Walked in without booking on a Sunday and luckily secured a spot. Looking around they were doing multiple shifts of booked tables so next time I'll book in advance to be sure of a place! The staff was very attentive and even brought hot water with lemon when they noticed my aunt had a cough. We weren't charged for it which made us feel seen and appreciated. Waiter was happy and in for a joke but professional nonetheless. Both waiters on duty took time to answer our questions and didn't rush us to order. The food tasted excellent, was served quickly, but didn't feel like it was pre-made. I will definitely be returning.”

“An absolute gem of a restaurant! Fantastic location, plenty of seating and a great atmosphere. Food is fab and a great menu to chose from and there is something for everyone! The skewers are so tasty, the tiramisu is to die for and the range and choice of drinks complement each and every dish. Well worth booking so don’t arrive and be disappointed! Staff are super tentative and friendly and made our meal special. Thanks and already looking forward to coming back again soon!”

“LOVE coming here. Atmosphere is always cosy but vibrant. They constantly do jazz nights and food night. I came today (Monday evening) and it was a bit quieter but it was still a lovely atmosphere. The team are friendly, i just love visiting.”

“Me and my sister met here for the first time. Easy to book a table, was done through fb. Friendly helpful staff. Beautiful interior and great atmosphere. Was lovely and will be returning.”

“Superb pub. Great selection. Large beer garden”

“Amazing pub, probably my favourite in York. Friendly bar lady who was efficient, plus a fantastic range of cask ales. Dog friendly too.”

“Had a lovely meal Saturday evening, the chef accommodated us, even though we were very late(not our fault) only a few minutes before last food order, he produced a delicious curry for me and delicious fish and chips for my husband. So we decided to book for Sunday carvery. Absolutely delicious with an excellent choice of vegetables and trimmings with a good choice of meats, all very hot, very tasty, well presented by a friendly chef”

“Very happy that I checked them out. Great pizza, fair prices.”

“Great location and atmosphere! We were here for a family birthday (party of 7) on a busy Sunday. Food was not only more than great but served altogether in a timely manner. Everyone including the kids enjoyed there food with enough choice to suit everyone. Staff were attentive and polite. Overall great experience!”

“fantastic boozer. stayed in local area for a few days and this was recommended. lovely decoration. did not stay in the rooms so i cannot comment. But they look lovely. very welcoming.”

“Stayed at the inn for the weekend. Rooms are nice and clean. Right next to the pub, but you can't hear it, even the live music. Pub is lovely. Maybe the menu is lacking choice, but the pizzas are really delicious. Parking doesn't have number plate recognition anymore so no issues with it. There's no breakfast, but café across the road is serving sandwiches and cakes.”

“Friday nights at vudu are incredible. The music, the atmosphere is just everything you could ask for. I would definitely recommend!”

“Wonderfully welcoming pub with fantastic staff that truly went the extra mile. We visited here as a group of 8 for my mother in laws birthday and the staff were so great with the children and let us bring in our own birthday cake. No rushing us from our table when we finished, it was very relaxed. The food was also amazing, especially the steak pie that I had! We will definitely be back in the future.”

“Loved it! We did not have a reservation, but luckily there was a table for us (8 pm Friday night). The service was good and they were very quick. The portions were very good and the food was lovely for a great price. We went with the dinner menu which is a very good deal. Would recommend!”

“It was such a delight to dine here. The food was delicious. The smoked half chicken was absolutely juicy despite it being smoked which is usually isn't the case and the reaper was absolutely spicy as hell but the patty was delicious. The scoop doo was immaculate. And Joseph was so attentive and constantly checking in to make sure we didn't die of the spiciness and made sure we were comfortable. Loved being here!”

“Lovely pub with a fantastic newly decked beer garden. Great atmosphere and friendly service. We didn't eat so I'm unable to comment on the food unfortunately. Would definitely recommend and return.”

“Lovely cosy pub with exceptionally wide selection of really tasty food and drinks. Everything we ordered was delicious. Pretty fancy plate arrangements too. Table service brilliant. Will definitely be back.”
