We ate early so initially we were the only people in the restaurant but later more people began to arrive. Lovely old building, full of history. Very attentive server, food was excellent quality, fresh and very tasty, good portion sizes, we had the tartiflette and then lamb shoulder. Neither of us could fit in a dessert. Good selection of beers and wine. Really enjoyed it, will be back . Thanks
Excellent quality food. Had Sunday lunch with French twist. Set menu very good value. Friendly efficient service and all set in an atmospheric old building that was once a rope seller.
Loved the olde world charms of this eatery. Appreciated the detail of the small bread bite sized cubes. Utterly succulent and delicious.Fab service to topp it all too. Already thinking when to return!
A group of 9 booked here for Sunday lunch (7th April) 5 Adults and 4 Children.
Most of us ordered the mixed roast and 2 Children ordered sausage and mash but changed it to chips which wasn't a problem.
We also ordered puddings.
There was nothing but compliments from our entire group. The food was served in a decent amount of time, the portion sizes were good and for someone who isn't particularly fussed about Yorkshire puddings I ate all of mine. My Children are both young and could have probably shared a kids sausage and chips as it was a good size portion. They really enjoyed their food as well.
The team really took care of us, they were really friendly from the moment we arrived. (I did ask the girls name who took our payments as I wanted to say a big thank you to her but by the time I have got home I've forgotten it - maybe Georgia??)
We'll definitely be back the next time we have a family gathering in York.
Chose from the 2 course set menu yesterday as wanted to experience a Yorkshire Pud in Yorkshire.Had the Roast Beef, Sunday Lunch followed by the Sticky Toffee Pudding. The Yorkshire Pud was amazing, the beef, gravy & vegetables were all pretty good too. The roasties though were very disappointing & over done. I dislike reheated roast potatoes anyway, not sure why I didn’t expect this … I probably should have known better, hence not mentioning to our server, who was lovely. The sticky toffee pud was a triumph.
Seems that menu changes regularly. Am sure all choices are as good as mine which was excellent. Ham hock starter followed by one of best presented rump steak I have eaten. Partner equally impressed with duo of sea trout followed by rosbif.
Wonderful staff (Monica & Andrew) in interesting dining room.
Thank you all
Lovely Sunday lunch. Roast Beef was delicious as was the whole meal. Great staff, service and good value for money. Will definitely visit again
We dined as a two on a Friday night. This was our second time here at the restaurant and we had another amazing experience! Food was amazing with a good selection and good portion sizes. The homemade bread with homemade butter whilst waiting for our starters was beautiful (especially the blue cheese butter). The staff were fantastic, very friendly and welcoming and always happy to help. We will gladly come here again.
The tastiest gravy I've ever had!
From the outside this place doesn't look much and, when you enter, the decor is a bit careworn. But, don't let any of that put you off because the food is simply delicious. They also have a fine range of real ales to choose from.
PS dogs are allowed but, understandable, they're not allowed upstairs to the restaurant proper.
The food was exquisite... lovely presentation and not what I expected at all. This is a lovely little pub, with ropes hanging from the ceiling, We had the rosbif on the menu, Beef that was melt in the mouth and the service was excellent. On initial inspection, looks like it caters more as pub than a foody place, so it really surprised us. I'll definitely dine there again. Highly Recommend.
We've just had one of the best meals we've had in ages at The Chopping Block in York. I had slow roasted beef, with daube, olive and red wine sauce, vegetables in filo ramekin and absolutly perfectly cooked dauphinoise potatoes.
My partner had beef bourguignon, both cooked beautifully.
Service was great and a nice touch was bringing ice separately when ordering a whisky and a brandy.
Hightly recommend.
Visited for Sunday lunch and got to admit its the best in town. Started with a lovely French onion soup followed by homemade vegetables and giant Yorkshire pudding, delicious gravy, and a generous cut of beef and pork.
Great selection of wine and a lovely quaint atmosphere.
We had our Easter Sunday lunch at chopping block and had a great experience. Everything we ate was very tasty and the service was wonderful. The set menu was so reasonably priced for the quality and quantity of food. Our server was very attentive and kind. Would recommend and return!

Great pub/restaurant. Pub is downstairs and serves a good selection of local beers/gins. Restaurant upstairs has a good selection of Anglo/French food. Everything we had was tasty and well made. Recommended.
My husband and I had a wonderful time. Food, drinks, staff and overall feel were amazing. We had a voucher we used for food so just had drinks to pay. We’ll definitely be back. 5⭐️
A beautiful little restaurant. Great layout and atmosphere, and the staff are excellent - friendly and professional. Really good specials - went for Sunday lunch but was tempted by them all. Delicious Sunday lunch and starters. Chefs definitely know what they're doing!
WoW! Totally expecting an average to good experience, was I ever wrong. The food was excellent for all 3 courses. I recommend highly the garlic mushrooms, they are amazing. The roast beef was tender and perfect for a UK Sunday roast. Desert was incredible, sticky toffee pudding was sooo good.
Including a bottle of Chilean red wine and coffee we spent >£80.00 for two.
Staff were on it from the very start and stayed laser focused on being ahead of the customer. Great food, highly recommended.
Fortunately booked online, as it was very busy, it being Mother's Day, that said we met with a friendly welcome, led to our table, service was excellent especially since the restaurant was packed. The food was lovely we selected off the set menu and it was truly excellent value. We'll be back.
