Eagle & Child

Delicious food in a nice atmosphere. A great spot to stop for lunch after touring York Minster. We were told to grab any table and order at the bar. Service was quick and friendly. The food was tasty and of good quality with big portions. The interior is clean and well designed.

Venue itself was lovely, staff seemed so too. Such a shame about the food. 16 pounds for 9 mediocre chunky chips and burger was depressing, shame since the burger itself was decent. Chicken served to my colleague was so dry that the concept of moisture must have been absolutely foreign to it. Pass.

Wish I had discovered this place sooner in my four years of trips to York! We dined here for lunch one day and came back later in the week for dinner & pub quiz. They offer a solid pub menu with prices better than most in the area. The food was fantastic! The atmosphere is authentic and offers a few settings in one location: quiet dining tables great for families, couples, & large groups, a decorative outdoor garden, lively lounge area at the entry/front window sections for libations, upstairs has a unique private dining cove for date night, and rooms to host private large group dining. Our favorite part besides the food was the designated room for pub quiz night (you could actually hear the questions) that has a door/stairs leading to the outdoor beer garden. For those that are pub quiz fans: this one was particularly fun and creative. They had categories that were varied enough for every person on your team to contribute. The music/audio section and the finale of extra point bonanza was fantastic!! The writer for this pub quiz deserves props! The winner Well Yes, we did win!) received a bottle of wine and a prize from the box. It was by far one of our favorite pub quiz nights yet! Well done Eagle and Child! And for those that like hidden gems, there is a room upstairs with the preserved graffiti from the 1960's Rolling Stone's (written in Mick Jagger's girlfriend's lipstick)

The food and drinks here are unbelievable, super tasty. I recommend the Steak and Ale pie and the sticky toffee pudding. A bit pricier than other pubs in York that serve food, but it's worth the price in my opinion. The ambiance inside is great for chatting, having a pint and relaxing with friends.

Popped in for a drink and food, not been in before. Friendly staff, very good selection of beers and lagers. Great looking building nice decor in keeping with its age. Sat in the window in 2 large winged fireside chairs.. Very comfortable.
