À la carte & set lunch

Menus — The Whippet Inn, York

Our full York restaurant menu, in proper crawlable detail — a seasonal modern-British à la carte and a set lunch, built around sustainably-sourced Yorkshire beef. No PDF to squint at, no surprises. Escape the ordinary.

Everything below comes off the grill, the pass and the pastry section of our adults-only restaurant on North Street, a two-minute walk from York Minster. The kitchen changes things with the seasons, so treat this as today's line-up rather than a stone tablet — the à la carte evening menu and our set lunch are both laid out in full further down the page.

Hungry for something in particular? Our signature steaks have their own home on What's Your Beef →, the cellar and the cocktail bar live on the Wine List & Drinks →, and if you're ready to grab a table, Book a Table →. Back up to the Food & Drink hub → for the full picture.
