This restaurant cooks their food in beef dripping, so avoid if you are vegetarian or pescatarian.

Very confident they understood requirements and benefit of gluten free being cooked to order

The overall experience at the restaurant was mixed, with some customers complaining about small, cold, and undercooked portions. However, others found the prices reasonable and the staff friendly and accommodating, especially for those with dietary restrictions such as gluten-free options. Despite some negative reviews, there were positive mentions of the delicious food, quick service, and generous portions, making it a worthwhile spot to try when visiting York. It seems like the restaurant has some room for improvement in terms of consistency, cleanliness, and overall customer satisfaction.

Go to place in York. Staff always know what they’re doing. Small cosy building but not fun when busy. No complaints about the food though

Delicious fish and chips cooked in beef drippings and fried in a separate fryer. Quality vinegars are used (G3) and the staff is very attentive.
