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.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The fish and chips from the specials board were spot on, really fresh and crispy. The tartare sauce was a nice touch. Just what I needed.

Hugo Spritz was a great choice for a quick bite. Staff suggested it, spot on. Refreshing, hit the spot. Good wine list too. Quick service, in and out.

Grabbed a quick lunch here. The vegan sausage sourdough toastie was spot on. Came with a decent pile of crisps and salad too. Good portion for the price. Got me in and out fast, which is exactly what I needed.

Lovely traditional decor, felt like stepping into a welcoming home. The warmth was so inviting, just the right kind of cosy for a rainy evening. A really nice spot to unwind.

The quiet hum of conversation here is just right. Not too loud, you can actually hear your friends. And the occasional live music adds a lovely, gentle layer to the evening.

Decent Sunday roast. Staff were helpful and made sweet potato fries off-menu, which was a nice touch. Good parking too.

A decent spot for a relaxed bite. The all-day breakfast was pretty good, though the crumble could have been a bit warmer.

Popped in for a quick coffee after browsing the market. The flat white was spot on, really smooth. It&#39;s a nice little spot to sit and watch the square.

Been coming here for years. The breakfast is always spot on - generous portions, cooked just right. It&rsquo;s that consistency I keep coming back for. A proper start to the day.

Lovely spot by the river, great for a sunny day drink. But the prices for a glass of wine were a bit steep for what you get. Still, the view of the cathedral is hard to beat.

Been coming here for years, and the mixed seafood platter is why. Salmon, squid, mackerel, prawns, scampi - it&#39;s always fresh, never a letdown. The chips and slaw are spot on. That upstairs bit is my go-to for a quiet bite.

Been here a few times now. The staff are always friendly, and I appreciate how spotless the loos are kept. It&#39;s a reliable spot.

Staff were really helpful with our big group and dietary needs, even on a busy Saturday.

Stopped in for a morning coffee, really good. Came back for dinner later. The chicken burger was solid, juicy patty. Beef ragu pizza had a nice, slow-cooked richness to the sauce. One drink order got mixed up, but they sorted it fast.

The cod was huge, flaky, and the batter was spot on. Chips were just right too, not too soft or hard. Really hit the spot after a long walk.

Nice old-school pub, feels proper cosy. The landlord&#39;s a good laugh, makes you feel right at home. Decent choice of beers on tap too.

The staff here are so lovely and really make you feel looked after. They even swapped out the fillings in my afternoon tea sandwiches without any fuss!

The chicken noodle soup was the highlight. It had that proper home-cooked feel, with a clear, savoury broth and tender chicken. The noodles were just right. That&#39;s what I came for.

We had a great evening, really relaxed. The food was outstanding, and the staff were so polite. Just a lovely spot for a quiet meal.

Popped in for lunch. The tempura prawns from the buffet were really fresh and crispy. You can tell they&#39;re cooked to order, which is nice. Bit of a queue though.

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.

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.

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.

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