We went there as tourists to try the Sunday roast, and we were not disappointed! The meat was delicious, and we got lots of tasty vegetables at the side, and a fluffy Yorkshire pudding. The staff was friendly and helpful. The establishment was cozy, albeit a little noisy.

Good service and food was nice. Steer clear of the the ‘cottage pie’. Mostly potato with little to no sauce or flavour.
The Fat Badger YorkResponded on February 25, 2025
Thank you for your review Rebecca, We apologise that our top-tier Cottage Pie was not up to its usual delicious standards. It is, however, nice to hear that the rest of your food was enjoyable and that you found the service brilliant. Cheers, Fat Badger
