Located in the Old Engine House on the edge of York's Museum Gardens in a riverside setting close to the historic Lendal Bridge, The Star Inn The City has an enviable position, which we aim to match with the best produce God's Own Country has to offer and genuine Yorkshire hospitality for the 'whole package'.

We offer an all day menu which can be enjoyed for both lunch and dinner, as well as serving up breakfast Friday to Sunday, and on Sunday's we serve up our famous Sunday roasts between 12-4pm.

We pride ourselves on being a a food-led celebration destination, with guests being able to enjoy view of the River Ouse from our Garden Room or outside on our riverside terrace. For more intimate occasions we also offer two exclusive Private Dining rooms for celebrations such as graduations, weddings and birthdays.

For more information head to our website, or call one of our friendly members of staff today.

Not the best value for money, fish and chips should have been amazing, but was pretty much burnt. £171 for two courses for 2 people seems over the top

This has become a popular venue for us and we have eaten at the Star 3 times in the last 6 months. Great location for all times of the year. The staff are efficient and professional and the menu has some good choices. Portions are a good size and there is a great wine list too.

Beautiful meal, efficient, friendly but unobtrusive service and a lively atmosphere. Only downside was an icy blast every time the front door opened (table 16 I think). Lovely evening

Superb place really magical ambience. The staff were brilliant; friendly and attentive. Went for a Christmas meal with my daughter and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent and the ox cheek sublime. Can’t wait to go again next time in York.
