The Winning Post in York

We arrived on a Friday afternoon and found the pub was quiet. The barmaid was friendly and took our food and drinks order at the table. Short wait for food. I had scampi peas and lovely home cooked chips. Can thoroughly recommend what my friends had halloumi salad super delicious. The place is super clean and the toilets too. Cosy traditional atmosphere. Would return again and recommend a visit to others.

In York for a week’s holiday wanted somewhere for lunch what a great find this pup was. The food was out of this world never had a pie like it was more than I could every ask for and the banoffee pie was so good would recommend this pub to anyone who in York

Excellent Sunday roast. - Mushroom and nut Wellington as well. We were lucky to get a cancellation, so remember to book!

We chose The Winning Post for a family Funeral Tea as its our local, we have lived in South Bank for generations and it holds lots of memories for us all. Their service was fantastic, right from the initial booking and ordering of buffet food to the day itself. The private function room was ideal and the food was lovely (the locally produced pork pies and sausage rolls went down a treat!) as did the selection of sandwiches and wraps, crisps, tea and coffee, chocolate brownies, scones and delicious lemon muffins! We were well attended to throughout the day and this was greatly appreciated on such a sad occasion.

Top notch food.We went for Sunday lunch, and chose from the weekly menu (although the Roasts being served all looked very good).We shared the Tempura Harrisa Cauliflower for starters which was excellent. We had Cod from the specials menu (bang on), and the Beetroot and Leek Risotto with grilled Goats Cheese for mains, and shared a Banoffee Pie for dessert.Top quality food, great range of craft ales and spirits, friendly staff, and good value for money.Would highly recommend as a great place for a meal out.

Really tasty food: crispy fish and chips and sunday special- sausage pork. Nice staff. 10 minutes walking from the crowded city center. Highly raccomanded.

Four of us had a really nice meal cooked really well cooked, big pieces of home made chicken goujon starter, the chicken burger main was a proper big piece of chicken breast fillet not something bought from a supermarket, great steak burger and proper home cooked chips. Lovely piece of raspberry and chocolate brownie for dessert. Great staff, prompt service. Only reason not 5 stars is its only a small menu choice but everything we got was lovely.

So glad we found this gem of a place on our last night whilst visiting York for a few days. Amazing food and great presentation too, truly a professional kitchen. Huge portions, great value.Gravy in the jug and these were my leftover chips which were so good.

Visited on Sunday with family and friends, plus one dog.Very dog friendly and very spacious in the dining area.Great service and we left a tip at the end.The Sunday lunch was amazing. A huge plate of great food at a very decent price, which was extremely filling.Would recommend the vegetarian Sunday lunch that came with a 'Mushroom + Nut Wellington'.I highly recommend the venue and would definitely return.

It’s our local but by golly the food went to another level last night! We had the turkey special which looked inviting on the chalk board but its presentation, matched by the taste, was all totally brilliant. Colour, taste and textures, they were all there. Accompanied by a nice bottle of (French) Malbec it was fantastic. Well done the chefs. I have bored a few people about it today. If you are staying in York the city pubs can be mobbed and impersonal but The Winning Post gives you that good food, a friendly touch, and also some great guest beers. What’s not to like.
