Tasty food. Good friendly service. Sunday lunches served throughout the afternoon. Two minor points , my husband and son said they would have liked one more roast potato, two wasn't quite enough. The sticky toffee pudding tasted nice, but more like ginger sponge and personally I think it would be better served with Vanilla ice cream or custard than chocolate ice cream. But overall we enjoyed our visit, it was hassle free and we would return.

Really friendly welcome from the new owners. Great menu choices too and very flavoursone food. The only thing we did notice was the prices have gone up massively since we last visited here. We would go again but probably only on special occasions.

Meal was excellent, I had a gammon steak which was very thick and tasty, came with two eggs and chunky chips, the only downside was we were the only people dining although it was mid week.

Really good Sunday lunch with all the trimmings, we were made to feel very welcome and there was water for the dogs and no problems in them being there. Great experience.

Amazing Sunday lunch! We went for the platter for two which was perfect in size, great roast potatoes and lovely cauliflower cheese, with lovely Yorkshire puddings. The only thing I can possibly say could be better were the plates which were a bit wobbly - it made cutting the meat a challenge!

Lovely place with a tasteful and clean interior, and a restful feel to it. The food was spot on - tasty, fresh, well cooked - perfect for my tastes and we will definitely return. The only slight thing was that the staff were slow to clear the tables, and glasses and dishes remained piled up even when they brought out dessert. Not a major thing, but having small children I'm always aware things can get yanked off the table, and it's better aesthetically to have things cleared up quickly! Wouldn't put us off at all, we'll be back.

It would have been a lot better with a few freshly cooked veg. But there was no veg at all. A very nice meat pie. Excellent sticky toffee pudding. The staff were very pleasant. Very expensive.

Excellent service, very nice environment and ambience... and glorious food. The steak and ale pie must be the best ever - and I've made it my mission in life to find the best! The chunky chips are as good as you'll get too. This is a place you will want to re-visit and keep on visiting. Not cheap, but quality food in a nice place. Can be a bit far to travel to unless in York or near York, but worth the trip. (Driffield)

I have visited on a number of occasions and mainly had good food and service. Sadly I think there has been a change in chef and staff, which leaves me less inclined to return.

The food was excellent but we could have done with a bit more meat and a few more roast potatoes with the roast dinners for the price.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday lunch, which was beautifully cooked and presented. The menu was varied and offered us a good choice. The service was excellent and all the staff were well presented, cheerful, polite and attentive. The ambiance was good, the pub was warm and welcoming. We would recommend the Duke of York and will be returning, perhaps for an evening meal or another Sunday lunch with the family.

A warm welcome and a very nice meal. The beef was especially good,although some more vegetables would've been nice. Maybe a tad expensive? Steak and ale pie is fantastic ( on the previous visit) .

Sunday Lunch. Food was good maybe could have been a little warmer. Family next to us came in with a dog!? Don't mind dog friendly pubs (dog owners ourselves) but dogs should be in the Bar area not where people are eating.

We reserved a table at this lovely pub and restaurant on our way home from visiting the East coast. We were given a very warm welcome and shown to our table quickly. We ordered our meals ; my husband choosing from the specials board & I chose from the menu. Both meals were plentiful and absolutely delicious. We will definitely call there again in the future and recommend it to our friends and family.

It only didn't get full marks as we seemed to be invisible when we arrived and were ignored/overlooked but this was remedied by a stroppy husband. Food was really good and once service started it was good.

Excellent meal out for all 5 of us with 5 main meals and 5 desserts ordered, the only reason it did not get full marks was that 2 of us ordered the belly pork and both said it was fantastic except for the sage mash of which both left over 50% of it!! But will definitely eat again at the Duke of York.

Friendly staff and great food! I have been a few times now and the level of service is consistent. They also change the menu from time to time to keep it a little varied for the customers. I can recommend it for meals with friends or family. Nice atmosphere!

We ate at the Duke of York on Saturday night. Despite it being very cold outside the room was cosily warm and the coal fire added to the pleasant atmosphere. The service was attentive and the food was served very promptly. Both us enjoyed excellent food for each three courses.
