We had such a lovely time at this little gem of a pub we located through Brit Stop. Turns out we were there the night they introduced Indian food night but it was no less a success than good pub food. (check out Mike’s mole, it’s amazing!)The place was bustling and the tables were reserved or full which left us to take up a place near a lovely little wood stove in the side room. As luck would have it and much to our delight, we found ourselves in the company of none other than Mike, the regular chef, who’d been banished from his kitchen by ‘the curry ladies’. He graciously shared his ‘quiet corner’ with us where we ate, drank and enjoyed wonderful company and conversation. Dan, Mike, Laurean and the ‘curry ladies’ were the most gracious hosts and made us feel welcome and at home. We could have easily taken up residence in their parking lot, stayed til the weather improved, we could eat our way through the menu and just generally enjoyed some of the nicest people we’ve met on our travels- and that’s saying something! Cheers to the good people of The Deramore Arms!
Of the five pubs in York, where we had lunch or dinner during a four-day stay, the Deramore Arms stands out: the atmosphere is welcoming, traditional and comfortable; the service is friendly; the food is exceptional. Our party chose a variety of dishes ranging from pub grub classics to pasta with a Mexican sauce. There is someone in the kitchen who really knows how to cook!
Food was amazing, drinks are reasonably priced and staff are all super friendly. Had the French onion soup to start followed by roast beef dinner and was cooked to perfection 👌🏽
