Got a table without booking, staff were really nice about it. Quick and friendly service all through dinner.

Stumbled upon this spot on a girls&#39; trip to York. The chicken naga had just the right kick, and the garlic naan was so good we ordered a second round. Perfect for sharing and catching up.

Been coming here for years, and the fillet steak is always cooked just right. It&rsquo;s the one thing I know I can count on every time.

Tried the Sicilian calzone on Bishopthorpe Road. It was massive, each bite had something different - the mozzarella was really good and the tomato sauce rich. Finished with a scoop of their fresh ice cream from the bar. Solid spot.

My gluten-free diet means I rarely get good cake. Their lemon and rose meringue was a proper treat. The whole menu can be made GF, which is a relief. My dog enjoyed his sausage, too.

The lunch deal is a steal. Got the grilled chicken, portion was huge and the meat was juicy, cooked just right. For what you pay, the quality is seriously good.

Been here a few times now. The team remembered it was my mate&#39;s birthday and brought out a little dessert with a candle. Nice of them. Food&#39;s always solid, but it&#39;s the little things like that which make you want to come back.

The paratha was really good - flaky and chewy, just right with the curry. You can tell they put care into making it. A solid choice.

The beef stroganoff pie was the special. Really generous filling, you could tell it was all homemade. The flavour was spot on, not too heavy. Just a good, solid pie.

Came in without a booking and they were so welcoming. The service was spot-on throughout. A highlight was the sommelier&#39;s suggestion for a red to go with the steak&mdash;really made the dish. Staff are genuinely attentive without being overbearing.

Lovely spot, the staff were really attentive. I had the red wine chorizo, it was the best I&#39;ve ever had. The booths are quite comfortable too, makes for a relaxed meal.

Been to many Indian spots. The curries here stand out - each has its own distinct flavour. Appreciate that you can adjust the spice level to your preference. Good variety on the menu.

Popped in on a Saturday night without a booking. Those chicken wings were the star &ndash; crispy skin, super juicy inside. The ranch sauce was something else. Staff were really on it despite the crowd.

Stumbled upon this spot near our hotel, no booking needed. The food really stood out - the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce had a nice depth of flavour. It&#39;s a bit on the pricier side, but you can taste the quality in the ingredients. Would definitely pop in again.

A lovely, cosy spot. The staff are genuinely friendly, which makes for a relaxed meal. The food has that proper home-cooked feel, though I&#39;d suggest asking for the traditional preparation. The chairs were quite comfortable for a longer sit, which was nice.

Five cheese and wine pairing. They explained each one, which was nice. Made for a good, relaxed evening. Service was a bit slow between courses, but the food itself was spot on. Solid choice if you&#39;re not in a rush.

Popped in after a walk. The pork belly was spot on - crispy skin, tender meat. Got a bit busy later, service slowed down. Decent spot if you&#39;re nearby.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s that fireplace and wood paneling that keep me coming back - feels like a proper, cosy pub every time.

The team here are just lovely, really made our girls&#39; night feel special. Shout out to Safa for being so sweet and checking in on us - it&#39;s those little touches that make a place! The vibe was perfect for catching up.

Decent portions, and I was happy to see a good few veggie options. The mushroom risotto was solid, creamy and packed with flavour. Could&#39;ve used a touch more seasoning for my taste, but a satisfying plate.

Solid risotto. Chicken and mushroom one was spot on. Tiramisu homemade, good texture. Staff were friendly. Decent spot in York.

The mixed roast was tender and full of flavour. They accommodated my request for it perfectly.

The breakfast was a highlight. Loved the fresh avocado on the sourdough, you could tell it was perfectly ripe. The poached eggs were just right. A really nice, healthy start to the day.

Love the old-school pub vibe here, feels just right for York. The bar looks great with those barrels. Staff were really friendly too.

The waiter was so easy to chat with. His tip for extra bread with the cannelloni was spot on, made the whole dish better. Really nice, attentive service without being over the top.

Came for a coffee and ended up staying for ages just watching the river. The staff were really nice about it, didn&#39;t rush me at all. That view is the real draw here.

The tomato salad. That&#39;s what I remember. The tomatoes were so fresh, the dressing sharp and bright. The spicy main dish was good, but the salad was the standout. Just a really clean, focused flavour.

Excellent pub, obviously loved by the locals who booked it out - so make sure you have a reservation. 6.30 seems to be when they all flock in. Our table was for 7pm so we ended up having a bit of a wait and to make an alternative choice for mains as ours was sold out. Well kept cellar - excellent beers and plenty of cocktails available. Will return when next in York

Been coming here for years, and the consistency is what keeps me back. The food is always solid, no surprises. Prices have crept up a bit lately, but you still get what you pay for.
