    Not for people who struggle with steep stairs but the feel and ambience is good for those who like quirky buildings. It situation is perfect for the Cathedral. Food and service was excellent and for those who stay when it is warmer weather the Secret Garden is a must.

    Really disappointed after looking at the photos and reading the reviews. We booked for Sunday lunch on arrival the room was cold and only 1 table lamp was working We ordered our lunch 3 beef and 1 chicken they arrived quickly but my broccoli was burnt and the beef was tough my friend also said her veg was hard and undercooked. We mentioned all of this to the waitress but she was not at all interested. Really disappointing afternoon.

    Thank you for your review Jackie, We are very sorry to hear you did not enjoy your Sunday lunch. We always try and make sure guests leave satisfied and it is sad to hear the waitress did not deal with the issues appropriately, this will be looked into. If you choose to dine with us again we hope you will have a much better experience. Cheers, Fat Badger

    Food is poor and over priced - too fancy and unnecessarily so. It’s a pub - go for a drink but avoid food.
    The Fat Badger YorkResponded on 5 January 2025
    Thank you for your review Alan, We are sorry to hear you did not enjoy your food, we wish you would have brought this up to the servers at the time so we could have addressed the issue. It is unfortunate to hear you found our dishes to be unnecessarily fancy, we are a high end pub so our food is a little more elevated than the standard pub grub. Hope you try us again in the future. Cheers, Fat Badger

    I was expecting more. I’d heard lots of good things about this place. I went for the beef burger - which, flavor wise, was good - but the patty was over cooked and very dry. The parmesan truffle fries were nice. My partner really enjoyed her steak, it looked to be cooked perfectly, and the chunky chips were cooked nicely. Overall for the price I think it’s a bit meh. It’s quite a limited menu, which is fine, but it sets the expectation that each item will be prepared with greater care and will be of a high quality. I’ll caveat this by saying it was NY eve and very busy, so maybe we’ll come back and give it another go on a quieter day. Shout out to the front of house staff who were all great - very efficient, friendly, and seemed full of positive vibes ❤️
