Cheap Places to Eat in Towthorpe

"The Shambles Kitchen dishes up a few other items (cakes and smoothies, wraps, a daily soup such as chickpea, lentil and harissa), but there is no doubting the main draw: its pulled pork sandwich. Dripping in its own juices and long on flavour, the meat is slow-cooked for 12 hours and served on fat buns with a peppy raw slaw and a choice of sauces – go for the smoked apple. At £5.50 a pop, these are not particularly cheap baps, but it is tasty tackle and you are putting money into a business where, in stark contrast to the many chains which crisscross York, everything is cooked from scratch using local ingredients."

"Fast food doesn't mean unhealthy at this hugely popular little takeaway (there are only three tables inside). The place is best known for its pulled-pork sandwiches on sourdough bread, but there are also yummy..."

"A chain of restaurants in Manchester, Leeds, and York - Red Chilli, is one of the few places specializing in Sichuan cuisine around the UK. The menu ranges from unusual dishes like the jellyfish with spring onion and crushed garlic; sliced ox heart, ox tongue, ox tripe in a chili sauce with crushed peanuts, crystal pigs’ ears layers, and more. And to show how spicy and hot your dish will be, you will find chili indicators on the menu."

"Red Chili Restaurant offers an authentic menu of colorful and flavorful Chinese dishes. It perfectly complements its atmosphere with hip interiors, too. When it comes to flavor, you may want to watch out because as the name suggests, the dishes can be quite spicy, but the overall taste makes up for it."

"Red Chilli York is the top-rated Chinese restaurant in the beautiful historic city, York. It offers various choices of authentic Chinese food with great tas ..."

"What makes it special in York though is the building it is in – The Grand Assembly Rooms. Think the ballroom from Beauty and the Beast and you get the general idea. From the website: ‘Book a table in The Grand Assembly Rooms, built almost 300 years ago in the Palladian style of architecture, and you’ll be eating in a stunning setting beneath chandeliers and surrounded by Corinthian columns."

"The Strawberry mojito was the best cocktail I had all weekend also. 28/05/2021: Really impressed with this place. The Assembly Room is a fantastic building and the staff were excellent going over and beyond to advise re a food allergy."

"The York branch of the superior pizza and pasta restaurant chain ASK Italian is one of the group's finest establishments. Situated in the Grand Assembly Roo ..."

"02/06/2021: We stayed in Pickering last week and ate here twice. The food was always excellent and the service very good. We particularly enjoyed the garlic mushroom starter, and the Spaghetti Puttanesca main course."

"Walk through this Ossett Brewery craft beer bar and it opens out into a rather ugly barn of a room: all exposed, new red brick under a glass atrium, the walls incongruously decorated with huge, historic portraits of local dignitaries. The room does have one key eye-catching feature though, a wood-fired oven which gives the Hop an edge over many of York’s pizzerias. The pizzas are paper thin in the middle, boast reasonable char and the dough easily digestible."

"The Hop York is a unique real ale house and an exciting drinking establishment located at the heart of York on Fossgate, serving up delicious wood-fired pizza and Ossett Brewery ales, as well as hosting weekly music. Everyday our kitchen is serving up the tastiest pizza in town, freshly wood-fired to create the perfect taste sensation."

"This bare, plain drinking space – stripped wooden floor, blue and cream colour scheme, Celtic cross logo – looks a bit like an O'Neill's, but the beer range is worlds away from the Oirish chain. Ten hand-pulls concentrate on Yorkshire and northern breweries, such as Isle of Man outfit Okells (owned by same people as Brigantes' parent company, Market Town Taverns), York Brewery (which Brigantes backs on to), and Great Heck Brewing, a micro much-loved in this part of the world, which produces Mo Hops (half, £1.78), a very interesting supercharged best bitter. Seven keg pumps deliver a mixture of classic continental and innovative craft beers, with a short, solid bottled menu (Nøgne Ø, Flying Dog) further ensuring that every drinker leaves happy."

"On a street that is notorious for its Saturday-night drunken revelry, Brigantes is a wood-panelled haven of peace and sophistication, with hand-pulled ales (mostly from Yorkshire) on tap and a dining room that..."

"Located on Gillygate, Waffle On serves a mix of English and American breakfasts, brunches, light lunches and afternoon teas, and of course they serve waffles too!. 569 metres from the Minster.81 Gillygate, York YO31 7EA, United Kingdom"

"An independent coffee shop that also serves hand-stretched pizzas. Available Friday evenings and all day until 6pm on Saturday. Text in your order with as much notice as possible."

"Currently doing take out (collection) pizzas as well on Friday evenings until 10pm. Until 4pm every other day except Sundays!"

"Osbornes @ 68 is another breakfast/brunch place that’s situated not too far from my house; it’s just at the bottom of Gillygate. The food here is absolutely wonderful, with friendly staff and quick service; definitely a place to head to on a lunchtime with friends!. I’d recommend: the club sandwich or the spicy chicken and salsa wrap (and a hot chocolate, as always!)."

"Escape from the busy street of Gillygate into this welcoming cafe!. Currently their beautiful garden is open for outdoor dining, so take advantage of the spring sunshine and book a table here. And they do breakfasts all day on Sundays, so really what’s not to love."

"Sushi are a slick chain sushi restaurant with dine in and takeaway options. You can choose from classic sushi dishes like a Dragon Roll, Dynamite Roll or Salmon Maki or Sashimi. You could also go for Takoyaki or a Yasai Roll."

"Shiitakeya are a small Japanese restaurant on Walmgate that also do takeaway. They have a lunchtime special from Monday-Friday, and otherwise serve dishes like Buta Shogayaki (sliced pork loin in sweet ginger sauce with rice, salad and miso soup on the side) or Chicken Teryaki Don (pan fried chicken glazed in soy sauce, mirin and sugar rice bowl with salad and miso soup on the side)."

"The website defaults to the menu in Japanese, which says to me that this restaurant is catering to the large number of Japanese visitors we receive. I’d say that it does not get more authentic than that!. If you want sushi like it’s served in Japan, then this looks ideal."
