Ale selection was fantastic and reason we selected (thanks CAMRA). We had beef burger, fish and chips, madras turkey pie, and a dish my wife ordered that I can't recall but she said it was spicy and delicious. Everybody was delighted with their meals and eldest son proclaimed the fish and chips the best he has had in UK on this trip.

They had a good tap selection and the bartender offered some really good suggestions and tastings. I settled on a strawberry (light) cream ale. We had a couple of small plates (crispy beef and fish cakes) which were more than enough for a meal. The pie that our daughter ordered was really savory. The prices were very reasonable and I would recommend going to this place while in York. There are a lot of restaurants in York, but this one is a place to visit.

Plenty of comfy places to sit and drink and bar service friendly, professional, and quick. Having finished drinks we were shown to our table. Nicely laid out and, immediately, our waitress arrived to take an order for drinks and a bottle of wine to cool down prior to the meal. After a while our waitress returned and took our order for food. The plates of food that arrived were exceptional especially the shared, baked Camembert. Truly delicious. The whole evening spent in this establishment was brilliant. Service was second to none.

It was getting quite late in the evening and everything appeared to close at 22:30. So rather than…read morespeeding into town we decided to just walk across the road from the guest house to this delightful pub. To the left was the bar area and to the right the dining bit. A broad gent appeared and guided us to a table. The decor was lovely, with old exposed beams and brickwork, vintage paintings, a fireplace and solid wooden tables. The menu itself was pub grub at its finest. We were quite ravenous so we opted for the three courses for £24.99. Between us we ordered the garlic prawns , scallops and flat bread, two prime steaks and to finish a carrot cheesecake and chocolate brownie. The prawns/scallops were large but not numerous. The garlic and herbs were flavoursome though. I had requested my steak medium rare. The quality of the meat was good but it was a little overdone for me..with hindsight I should have ordered it rare. The peppercorn and brandy sauce had a good kick to it , it did over power the steak so I dipped my chips In it. The carrot cheesecake was very stodgy but had that nice nostalgic homemade feel about it. Overall a very lovely traditional pub, the gent that served us was as attentive despite being rushed off his feet and the food good.

The bread (2 types)was so fresh.., soft inside and crunchy crusty. We ordered several starters. Oysters, beets root trout with edible flowers, courgette 3 ways, and soup of the day to name a few. For the main most of us ordered the Sunday roast. My friend and I specified rare but what came out was medium rare. It was still very tender and tasty. Yorkshire pudding, gravy, potatoes, and vegetables accompanied the dish. All were delicious and fresh. We enjoyed a nice bottle of malbec. For dessert I highly recommend the Sticky toffee pudding. It is off thr chain! The Millionaire pudding was also good but very sweety. I think it needs more ice cream to balance out the richness of the pudding. The ambience and service are great with tables outside in front and in the garden out back. I highly recommend this restaurant for delicious food and top notch service.

When it's a nice day out, there's fewer things in the world I find more enjoyable than drinking with friends outside. Thus, when the opportunity arose to do so while visiting York, we decided to hit up the Lamb & Lion. Pro-tip: check the beer garden first to grab a table and then buy your pints. You are far from the only person in the world who loves day drinking outside. When we visited, the beer garden was packed! We luckily were able to find a table, but during our time there we saw quite a few people unable to locate a spot. There's nothing worse than having a beer in one hand and finding no place you can drink it! The beer selection is typical and prices are reasonable. What you're really paying for here is the ambiance of the garden. While there's chatter from others all around you, the garden itself is secluded from the street, with one side facing the city wall. Relax under an umbrella and enjoy your pint-- I know I did.

First Class!…read more A little gem of a place tucked away in the heart of the Yorkshire Wolds! The Wolds Inn is some of the best dining you will find for miles around. Situated in the village of Huggate, approximately 30 minutes from York, it is true to say it is in the back of beyond, but anyone venturing this far will not be disappointed! The food here is excellent, absolutely first class! On our first visit I opted for the Wolds Topper (mixed grill) and my partner went for the Roast Pork. The mixed grill was the finest I have ever seen or tasted (and I've eaten plenty of mixed grills) with succulent steak, lamb, pork, gammon, sausage black pudding and fantastic home cut chips. But this was nothing compared to the Roast Pork which was, honestly large enough to feed a family! The joint was a similar size to what we would buy from Tesco for a family Sunday roast (in fact we took the leftovers home and it did sanwiches for us the next day)! It was beautiful to taste and covered with delicious pork crackling! The puddings are also to die for! Eton Mess was fabulous! The prices are little higher than other places in the area but it is more than worth it. There are also a good selection of ales and wines available too. Accommodation is available should you wish to make a night of it.
