    Great service.. Soup starter delicious and very generous portion. Main course ravioli tasty but disappointing size of portion. When pointed this out to manager extremely happy with response. Lovely pannacotta for dessert and wine good too.

    We’d seen the restaurant on a Facebook post and that they did the best Steak & Ale pie, we were not disappointed! Cooked fresh taking about thirty minutes to prepare, we already knew this so we had a starter and we hardly noticed the 30 minutes. Friendly staff, beautiful surroundings and the music was perfect! It was our anniversary so it felt right to have the most amazing food, in such a carefully curated place. You must book ahead (we did), when we arrived, walk ins were being turned away as they were fully booked. York is worth visiting just for this dining experience alone!

    Great customer service and the food was delicious. We both had the steak and ale pie, and it was worth the wait as the menu says, and all made from scratch (although the wait didn't feel long). The other meals that others had, looked really good too. Definately recommend if you'd like a meal out.

    Probably more than 6 years since our last visit, but the food matched our memories especially The Guy Fawkes pie. We won't be this long until our next visit

    Our first time dining but not our first visit. It was all we were expecting, kids meals were brilliant, the cheese burger was massive. My husband and I both had the steak and ale pie and oh my goodness it was incredible we both demolished it. An absolutely fabulous experience, we will definitely be back. Thank you!
