A explosive flavoursome delight!!! We visited as a family of 5 (17,13,10 yrs) we ordered the OG burger/ jerk Chicken burger/ chippy tea/ dean martin/children’s chicken strips meal. Along with a Fanta, Coke, fruit shoot and 2 pints of Coney. Everyone throughly enjoyed their meal and despite thinking it wouldn’t fill then at first sight it was more than enough with the large portions! (Eyes greedier than belly). The place was full and we are glad we booked before coming. The staff were friendly and attentive. Quick to take orders and food came out within reasonable time. We were lucky to have £1 child’s meal and took advantage of the Thursday 50% off beer and wine. All in all a fantastic experience we are already looking forward to our next visit to York to test the other burgers.
OMG what amazing food i had the dean Martin and the flavours from the first bite just blew my mind , my wife had the Mexican burrito and it was just as tasty and the pork was so juicy. We shared the mozzarella stick it was massive and someone tasty but eat it while it's hot so the cheese stays chewy and soft If your in york this is a must visit
Oh my god this place is insanely good! Chicken was amazing, best mac & cheese I have ever eaten! My husband had a mash and gravy chicken burger and he said it’s the best burger he has even eaten! Also you have to try the Mac & cheese spring roll! Lovely service here and decor too. 10/10 recommend if you’re coming to York!!!
Mozzarella stick was amazing! Cauliflower bites with buffalo hot sauce are the best I’ve had. Sauce on the hallumi fries is sweet and spicy. Will definitely be back. Staff super friendly and cleaned back really fast 10/10
Came here for my partner's birthday during our visit to York from Brighton. We really loved it a lot, we would come back in a heartbeat. If this place existed in Brighton we would be loyal members. The giant mozzy stick was perfectly crunchy on the outside even after we let it sit for 5 minutes. The hot honey fried chicken was also very nice with a light crunch, seasoned well. Thanks!
