Really quite good. Nice place, good atmosphere, food was innovative and tasty. Wine a little so-so. Overall would really recommend as a change from the usual and good value!
I Stumbled across the Eagle and Child while walking around near York Minister It's run by The Leeds brewery and they had a couple of their cask beers plus a couple of guest beers available. They also had a range of keg beers too. The pub also did food but I didn't try the food but what I saw being served looked good. The staff were very friendly as well. But, please! No more Phil Collins. I was ready to drink a whole bottle of York Gin to get over the pain .
Good service, great ambience and food is lovely.
Lovely pub, and food drinks and service were excellent. My first 2 choices were already off the menu so initially I was a bit disappointed but as soon as the pork tenderloin arrived all was well, it was delicious and no regrets! Chicken was also extremely good. Also very helpful comms re dietary requirements. Atmosphere was great too - having a drink in the front room and upstairs looked really nice. We were in the back which was fine but a little bit tucked away if you want a bit more buzz. The only slight negative point is it could do with a freshen up in places. New carpet in the back, bit of a scrub and decorating here and there would make it even better.
(This review is a bit late - our visit was 2nd March. Also posted review on Trip Advisor). I cannot rate this venue highly enough. We hired out the top floor for my boyfriend's birthday party. It was reasonably priced, & a great space, with a private bar included. The staff were so easy to deal with from the first email inquiry to on the day. We had sandwiches & chips which were lovely & brought our own cakes (which they found some candles for last minute as I'd forgotten them). Easiest 5 stars ever!!
Just around the corner from the Minster, this was a fun stop. Place was nearly full and had a great vibe. Plenty of cask ales served by younger staff who kept the place topped up. Interior is properly rustic yet modern and comfortable. Would absolutely return.
