Book a TableWhat's Your Beef
Ever-changing cuts and breeds, dry-aged on the bone and cooked over fire. Fat is flavour — and, we reckon, the best steak in York.
Eat less meat. Eat better beef.
We age our beef on the bone, source from trusted Yorkshire farms and cook over fire. From Porterhouse to Chateaubriand, we treat every cut with the respect it deserves.

“My god, I've not eaten a steak like that ever in my life. It was so juicy, flavoursome and just down right sexy, I could have almost left my partner for the steak!”Sarah Rothwell, Visitor, Brighton
“We meet for a girlie lunch where we all travelled from around the UK via York station... the cocktails, English bubbles and the mains and puddings were all just divine.”Tanya Johnson, Visitor, York
“Now I love steak, but I love fish even more... Thank goodness for our server who navigated me through the menu and our wine selection so I didn't have an ounce of food envy. Total winner.”Jo Pratt, Visitor, London
“We booked the private dining space for my mother in-law's 70th Birthday. Nothing was too much trouble and the food, wine and service were exceptional... scored me some massive son-in-law points!”Jon Davis, Visitor, Gloucester
