What the guides say

“Their secret beer garden is an ideal pitstop in between sightseeing and shopping, and where better to soak up the summer sun than with the view of the York Minster?”

Yorkshire Food Guide ↗

“Real ales and hearty food handle the traditional side of things, while a restaurant overlooking York’s walls and a secluded garden raise the stakes.”

Snaptrip (#10) ↗

“They had some nice small rooms for people to sit in and a big beer garden at the rear, which was nice.”
