Located in the Old Engine House on the edge of York's Museum Gardens in a riverside setting close to the historic Lendal Bridge, The Star Inn The City has an enviable position, which we aim to match with the best produce God's Own Country has to offer and genuine Yorkshire hospitality for the 'whole package'.

We offer an all day menu which can be enjoyed for both lunch and dinner, as well as serving up breakfast Friday to Sunday, and on Sunday's we serve up our famous Sunday roasts between 12-4pm.

We pride ourselves on being a a food-led celebration destination, with guests being able to enjoy view of the River Ouse from our Garden Room or outside on our riverside terrace. For more intimate occasions we also offer two exclusive Private Dining rooms for celebrations such as graduations, weddings and birthdays.

For more information head to our website, or call one of our friendly members of staff today.

The food was amazing, every dish was delicious. Would recommend the ox cheek without hesitation. Potion sizes were perfect. Great selection. The pistachio choux bun was incredible and a healthy portion size. The atmosphere was brilliant, it was busy and there was noise, but nothing that was obtrusive, just made for a great atmosphere. Service was friendly and knowledgeable.

Not the best value for money, fish and chips should have been amazing, but was pretty much burnt. £171 for two courses for 2 people seems over the top
