About

The York gastropub pairs British pub dishes and hanging kebabs with clearly labelled vegan choices, including a sharing board, sweet-potato katsu curry and banana-caramel sundae. Its botanical-themed interior, cocktails and live music suit mixed-diet groups, though reviews note that service can slow during busy periods and portions or prices may disappoint some diners.
