Lamb & Lion Inn

Right in the historical centre of York, this rambling Georgian inn has unrivalled views of nearby York Minster from its elevated beer garden. Conjoined to the medieval Bootham Bar gateway, it is furnished and styled in keeping with its grand heritage. A warren of snugs and corridors radiate from a bar offering a challenging array of beers, including Golden Mane, brewed for the inn. Equally enticing is the menu, offering comforting classics ranging from croque monsieur or cheese omelette to hay-baked chicken breast and sage mash. Finish with British cheeses or ginger burnt cream with rhubarb compôte.
