The York Roast Co.

Overrated! I visited after seeing it on TikTok with three friends, and we ordered two meals and two wraps. The meat was tasty, but the vegetables and potatoes could have been better—they looked like they were from a frozen bag. The portion sizes were small, making them feel overpriced. Service was slow, and the staff mentioned they were having sink issues. I ordered a bottle of water and got charged full price for a warm one. I had already taken a sip when I realized, so I couldn’t return it. One of the other customers mentioned theirs was cold. The staff seemed eager to leave; we heard some of them sigh in relief as their shifts ended, exclaiming, “thank goodness!” I also requested one meal without cranberry, but they added it anyway. The tables were dirty, the chairs felt flimsy, and the floor needed upkeep. Overall, not impressed!

Overall, we really enjoyed the wrap! It was toasted to perfection, bursting with flavor, and the meat was incredibly juicy. You can choose to dine in or take it away. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves roast dinners and Yorkshire pudding!

We recently dined at The York Roast Co and had an amazing lunch. We ordered two wrap meals—one with pork and the other with turkey—and they were both delightful. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be returning in the future.

Are you hungry? Do you like the idea of Sunday roast inside a huge Yorkshire pudding or inside a wrap made of a Yorkshire pudding? Then you should stop here and you'll leave with a full stomach and a smile on your face! I was hungry after wondering around the Minster and went for the Yorkshire Pudding meal, you get a selection of meats and if you're veggie they have you covered with a vegetarian option. Plus the gravy is also veggie! The food was delicious, the meat succulent and the veg all cooked wonderfully, the roast potatoes are sublime. The staff were helpful with making choices for what to eat, friendly and chatty. The one we visited had a little dining area upstairs, which was okay to sit in for the duration of the meal. If you're looking for good food on the go or dine in, this is the place to be in York.

Quirky concept and they generally pull it off really well. We went back twice during our short stay, so that says a lot! My only issue was that both times there wasn't enough meat in the wrap or it wasn't distributed right. My first two bits were just the pudding and veg and then everything was packed in the middle. Equal distribution, especially of a sharp sauce like horseradish is key. One other small gripe was that the staff wear gloves which is great, but less great when they're cross contaminating everything I.e. touching money, then various foods, then the sandwich press, then money again, etc. Might have just been one off, but hygiene wise I'd watch out for that. Staff were really friendly though and we look forward to coming back in the future!
