About This Pub
Ah, Stonegate Yard – it's one of those places in York that just warms your heart from the moment you step in. Tucked away in a gorgeous Georgian townhouse, it's all about that homely feel with fresh, locally sourced grub that's cooked with real passion; think tasty starters, hearty mains, and those standout ribs that have everyone raving. The staff are an absolute delight, always on hand with a smile and quick to make things special, like surprising your mum with a birthday cake and a song – it's those little touches that make it memorable. Plus, the courtyard is a gem for outdoor sipping and eating, and it's even dog-friendly, which is brilliant if you're out with your furry companion. On the flip side, it can get a bit sluggish with service when it's heaving, so plan for a leisurely visit rather than a speedy one, and do double-check those opening times to avoid any mix-ups. All in all, it's a top-notch spot for a proper good time, with that mix of quality food, friendly faces, and a cosy setting that makes it worth recommending to anyone looking for a genuine York gem.

Food was fantastic and great value for money and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Great selection of drinks, really cosy premises and excellent experience all round. Can absolutely recommend and will be coming back.
We visited Stonegate Yard three times over Easter weekend as we liked it so much. We had a cream tea with friends on Saturday when we first discovered it and ate out in the very pleasant yard. Service was excellent with very friendly attentive staff. We revisited on Sunday morning just for teas and coffee and had those indoors this time. We were so impressed we booked a table for a Sunday roast later in the day which was excellent! We got huge plates of food which included half a small roast chicken with a selection of veg and a huge Yorkshire Pudding which were excellent. Again the staff were brilliant - speedy and attentive. Will definitely go there again when we're next in York.
Great bar table service if you don't want to queue at the bar.
The food is fresh and our order arrived quickly despite it being a busy Saturday evening 😀
Great place food was really good. We sat in the courtyard. They had a canopy over due to the weather. They opened it for a few minutes before it started to drizzle. Good place to eat with dogs as long as they are well-behaved. Staff are welcoming and friendly. The food, tho a little slow, was lovely.
Came in for my mom's birthday. The staff were amazing, asked them to bring her a little cake with a candle and they did ! even sang her a little song, which made her night special. AMAZING RIBS ! one of the main reasons we keep coming back.
