"The food was delicious and enormous portions so make sure your hungry."
Cons:
"The food is underpar and overpriced for what it is."
"Before lockdown it was one of the best places in York for having lunch/dinner or just a few drinks. Since they opened back, probably they changed the cook? Food is not great! Frozen chips, dry gammon... burger was not good, bread a little bit old?"
"The food has gone down hill... The chips looked very scrappy."
"Food was cold (we sent the soup back to be warmed) and Xmas dinner was also tepid and it arrived without veg."
"The chilli con carni...could make it better myself and the rice was stodgy...."
"The Beef was the kind that is bought in ready cooked in slices and the roast potatoes were the Aunt Bessie kind."
"Ordered a burger which was almost identical to a Rustlers microwaveable burger, some frozen onion rings and microwaved chips."

"Tried calling to book a table, a female member of staff answered and said she was too busy to take a booking and I would need to call back later."

Cons:
"The courtyard is filled with dusty fake plants."
"The decor could possibly do with a bit of updating inside."
"Nice place unfortunately only dog friendly in the courtyard may be ok in the summer but in December!!!"
"Poor selection of vegetarian options, allergens not available, just have to ask about each dish while the staff get increasingly exasperated about having to check."
"Were asked to move twice because we'd block the entrance to another room... But if they didn't want us sitting there then why put the tables like that? Courtyard was pretty."
"We were frozen inside the building and didn't remove our coats!"
"The room we were given, sat off the courtyard) was freezing every time the door was opened."

"Quite an indifferent experience, food was okay but it was frustrating to be charged an extra £2 for bacon in a pasta dish which I felt the should be in there as default."
"Don't drink there'd wine it's rancid."
"We left feeling a little bit like we'd wasted our money."
"The food had clearly been sat on the side for a while as all the sauce had skins and the steak and chilli con carni where bone dry."
"Don't normally leave negative feedback. But me and my husband went there for a late evening meal on our weekend break to york sat 8th sept. Pub seemed clean and friendly. We found a seat inside. Table sticky with food on. Nobody else inside. Staff all talking at bar."
"One bad side was we came at about 7:30 and got sat next to and extremely noisy, large family with 3/4 kids just running about."
