Popped in without a reservation and they squeezed us in. The lamb rump was spot on. Their wine list had a decent Malbec that really stood up to the richness of the meat. The Thai curry was flavourful, though a touch more heat would&#39;ve been nice for me.

Ordered and paid via the app at the table. Very efficient system, saved a lot of time during the lunch rush. No need to flag down a server for the bill. A practical feature for a quick business meal.

Found this little spot tucked away from the main road. The staff were really friendly and attentive, which made the whole meal feel very relaxed. Food took a little while, but it was worth the wait.

Good selection for breakfast and lunch, generous portions. The wine list is solid, but I wish they had more by-the-glass options to pair with the lighter lunch dishes. Still, found a nice Pinot Gris that went well with my salad.

Chef personally brought our food over. Had a quick chat, he&#39;s clearly passionate about what he does. Made a fast lunch feel a bit more special.

Popped in for a late breakfast. The pancakes were warm and fresh, came with a huge pile of bacon and loads of syrup. Just what I needed. Staff were nice too.

Nice chilled vibe here, staff were friendly and gave good drinks advice. Toilets were clean too.

Been coming here for years, and the set lunch is still the reason. Always a proper portion, never leaves you wanting more. It&#39;s just consistently good value.

The oat latte is a standout. They serve it with a little heart-shaped shortbread, which is a nice touch. The coffee itself is excellent, really well-balanced. It paired nicely with the quiet morning vibe. A solid spot for a proper coffee.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 private room upstairs is still my favourite spot. The view never gets old.

Generous portions, but the menu could use more fresh, healthy options.

The coffee&#39;s served in a proper, big mug which I really liked. It&#39;s a nice, relaxed spot to sit for a while, especially compared to the much busier places inside the park.

Love the flower-painted courtyard! It&#39;s such a nice spot to sit and relax. The inside feels spacious too, never crowded.

The chicken combo is a lot of food for the money, we had leftovers. I really appreciated how fresh the salad greens were, crisp and vibrant. The grilled chicken itself was nicely seasoned, not dry at all. A good, filling option if you&#39;re watching your budget but still want a decent meal.

A nice, clean spot for a casual lunch. The atmosphere is relaxed and it felt comfortable just sitting there for a while. The food was pretty good, though the portion was a bit on the smaller side for the price.

The harbour view from the bar is just stunning. Perfect for a quiet evening drink. The fizz selection was decent, though I wish they had a few more by-the-glass options. A lovely, relaxed spot.

Been coming here for years, and the staff always get it right. They&#39;re attentive but never hover or interrupt your meal. It&#39;s that consistency that keeps me coming back.

Cosy spot, perfect for people-watching. The seats inside are so comfy, you can just sink in and lose track of time. It&#39;s that kind of place where you can just be.

Grabbed a quick lunch here. Curry and toasted sandwich were solid, decent portions. Place got pretty loud when it filled up. Good for a fast bite if you&#39;re in a hurry.

The food here feels just like a home-cooked meal. The staff are so friendly, which makes the whole experience very relaxed. It&#39;s nice to know the place supports a good cause, too. Prices are very fair for what you get.

Great spot to bring friends (and dogs!). The carvery is as good as they say, and the staff were super welcoming.

Been coming here for years, the quality never dips. Ordered the lamb shank via the app at our table, came out piping hot and fell right off the bone. Just solid, reliable food.
