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.

Really enjoyable setting and the staff were wonderful as well. The food was really tasty - though for the Sunday Roast, I'd prefer if the gravy wasn't poured on the Yorkshire pudding as it got soggy. That said, it was a great experience!

Excellent brunch with the family celebrating a birthday. The food was amazing and the menu catered to all tastes. The staff were welcoming and Katy was a great server who was friendly, helpful and responsive without being intrusive. The restaurant and facilities were very clean and beautifully decorated. A great experience and we will return.

Lovely meal as usual. Only marked down because our waitress opened the champagne and it fizzed over, we probably lost a glass. She said she would ask the manager to take something off the bill (I’d have been happy just to be given another glass). When the bill came she’d removed the service charge instead. We felt bad about that as it goes to all the staff so ended up paying it anyway!

Disappointing visit this year, food has previously been exceptional but not this time. I chose fish and chips from the menu which was mostly batter and very little fish. Little choice of mains on the market menu. The ambience this year was not as good as normal - we missed the welcoming Christmas tree that’s normally outside the door. Will be sadly looking elsewhere for our next visit to York.
