   Been here several times and never had an issue! But really wasn’t impressed on this occassion. The pub & restaurant was packed to the brim, the restaurant was too busy, we were seating in a nook away from the main seating area, waited 30+ mins to even get a menu, staff were unorganised with food being delivered to wrong tables. Waited 45 mins for a drink. Food sides were delivered to table with main meal arriving 30+ mins later (we returned the sides) Total chaos.

   Food not what it used to be. Had steak pie years ago and the pastry was melt in your mouth good. This was just an average pie with too much pastry and no veg.

   My wife and I have been enjoying 3 night pre-Christmas breaks in York for many years and have dined on numerous occasions in The Guy Fawkes Inn. We have always enjoyed our evenings here but last night was not one of those evenings. Despite requesting a nice cosy table for two well in advance of our booking we were allocated what we consider to be the worst table in the house (table 2) - between an open door and the cutlery draws. This completely spoiled our evening. On top of this, the main I was so looking forward to - Marinated Monkfish Tail was not available. So unfortunately this was a below par evening for us. That said, customers on other (decent) tables seemed to enjoy their evenings.

   Overall the meal was ok Service and ambiance very good,however, my main course was disappointing. I plumbed for the lamb rump which was very dry And pretty tasteless. My wife chose the pie which was very nice. The general atmosphere was great ....just wish I had chosen the pie too.
