Ye Olde Starre Inne in York

I can’t thank you enough for our meal on Saturday evening. I booked a table for 10 for a special weekend event for my best friend. The whole experience was seamless. Our food was not only delicious but served so quickly and efficiently. Everyone commented on how nice the food was. The staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. I was very happy with the table we were allocated in the separate room at the front as we were a large group, we had plenty of space. Everyone liked the character and charm of the pub. Perfect!

Seriously one of the best foods I've ever eaten, and that's coming from someone who studied gastronomy. I went there for the historical experience, wanting to see the old pub but what I was left with was the incredible surprise of having had the best burger of my life!

I do really like this old English pub style but the truth is the price of the drink is ridiculous, I paid £46.65 for two dry martini with lemonade, two pints of cider, one pint of beer and half pint of beer. That’s ridiculous price. It’s dog friendly though. I can’t give any feedback about the food, we only went there for the drinks. Update, We have talked to the pub over the phone this morning, they realised we have been overcharged by mistake and resolved the problem professionally. Everyone can make mistakes. Therefore I will highly recommend Ye Olde Starre Inne and the staff for excellent customer service.
