Absolutely loved this place! The cheeseboard was incredible – generous portions and a brilliant selection, but the real highlight was the red wine & Grape chutney… unreal. We had the Guy Allion Sauvignon Blanc which paired beautifully – fresh, crisp, and easy to drink. Cosy atmosphere, lovely staff, and very dog friendly too. One of the best wine bars I’ve visited in a long time. Highly recommend if you’re in York!

Very tasty. Had a focaccia sandwich and 2 small plates to share. Sausage roll was the best I've ever tasted and the pesto tomato salad was amazing. The sun even came out when we ate outside for a perfect lunch.
