The Royal Oak - York

The Royal Oak in York is a fine old traditional pub that serves fantastic quality food.

The Royal Oak can be found by following Goodram Gate along for around 5 minutes, it is situated next to the Golden Slipper, another Fantastic York Establishment. As you hit you are instantly hit by the age of the pub, the surrounding walls are littered with antiques and most nights both fire places have roaring fires lighting the room.

I have been to the Royal Oak many times and can vouch for the food, the sunday roast with traditional Yorkshire Pudding and two huge slabs of beef coated in thick onion gravey and sided with onion gravy and mashed potatoes makes me drool.

Monday Nights is Pub Quiz night at the Royal Oak, here you will be asked 40 questions and will be served copious quantities of a random meal plus pizza, quiche, sausage rolls, pork pies, onion bajhis and so on, making the pound entry fee (All of which goes to the winners pot) more than acceptable.

There are several beers, lagers and a guest ale which is changed regularly, so caters for most tastes in the drinking department!

I would recommend this pub to locals and tourists alike for its friendly, welcoming atmosphere, great bar staff, fantastic food and beer and not to mention its fires to warm you up if the weather is poor outside.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen

The Gourmet Burger Kitchen is a relatively new restaurant that has opened up on Lendal Street in York. It is a couple of seconds away from the highly popular museum gardens right in York City Centre.

I have to say the Gourmet Burger Kitchen serves fantastic food, and while it does not come with the usual selection of chips or salad the burgers themselves are more than enough for the most ravenous of appetites. Piled high these heavily flavoured jucy beef burgers were a sight for sore eyes, stacked high this was one of the few times I have had to get the knife and fork out to eat the towering burger. If meat isn't to your palette there are several Vegitarian burgers including a fantastic mushroom burger!

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting York and looking for a relaxed but rather large lunch.
