Popped in for a meal after reading the reviews. The menu is pretty standard pub fayre and I went for a giant Yorkie with roast beef and veg. It was all served red hot and all 3 plates were cleared which is a testament to the food as the wife and daughter are picky eaters. Value is good , atmosphere is not as lively as other places in town but sets a nice tone for the place. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting the Hole in the wall and will definitely return. It's a pity it's not dog friendly but it makes up for that with value, quality and a lovely historical surrounding.

My recent experience at The Hole in the Wall restaurant in York left me with mixed feelings. The food, while acceptable, didn't quite live up to my expectations. The menu offered a decent variety, but the execution fell short of delivering a truly memorable culinary experience. It was satisfactory but didn't leave a lasting impression. On a positive note, the restaurant maintained a commendable level of cleanliness, contributing to a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The well-kept surroundings added to the overall dining experience. The service was a standout aspect of my visit—prompt, friendly, and attentive staff made the meal more enjoyable. While The Hole in the Wall might not be a gastronomic destination, it serves its purpose for those seeking a clean environment with reliable service. The overall atmosphere was pleasant, making it suitable for a casual outing. If you're in York and prioritize service and cleanliness over culinary innovation, this restaurant could be a suitable choice. In the end, my visit was a mixed bag, but the attentive service and cleanliness added a positive touch to the overall experience.

I had the best mashed potatoes I've ever had in my life here. I was sad that they had run out of yorkshire pudding meals by the time my partner and I sat down, but we got the steak pies which were excellent! The mashed potatoes were SO good, my partner wished he ordered them over his chips hehe The service for food and drink were both excellent! We very much enjoyed our time here :)

A very busy Sunday lunchtime was handled ever so well by the staff. The place was heaving and we had attempted to book in advance, but they don't take bookings - turn up and hope they have a table. We waited only about 10 minutes and were directed to a cosy corner seat for 5 of us. Your menus are on the table and then you order at a side-bar, next to the main bar, where you also pay up front for your order. All very efficient and it seemed to work well. Our wait-time for food wasn't excessive and we were all very pleased with quantities and the quality when it did arrive. Good food, good atmosphere and a pleasant feel to the place.

Lovely staff, always eager to help with the wide range of beers available. Theres plenty to choose from menu, starters, mains with sides and desserts. We chose just to have a few starters so opted for spicy Mexican nachos with pulled port, garlic bread and onion rings. All was tasty, hot and not over filling.
