   Not the best experience this time. The service was very slow to start but maybe the waiters were changing shifts, since we had different people serving us at the beginning. The young man who turned out to be our permanent waiter was very nice but the girls before him were a bit vacant and not too efficient. The food was average-we have had better times here where food was converted. I just think they’ve got too many covers and not enough staff to provide a good quality meal for every customer. They could really do something fabulous with the outside decor.

   As much as I thought the food was first class I can not believe you get a pie and mash with no veg at all , I may have missed it on menu (I don’t know) but you shouldn’t get pie and mash with no veg whatever the occasion

   There's a lot of attention on the famous pie so we just had to try it and I must admit we were not disappointed! Absolutely beautiful...

   We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience in the restaurant. The food was excellent, the staff were all really helpful and professional and we loved the ambience of the Guy Fawkes Inn.

   Super busy pub with a fantastic atmosphere. We came for the famous pie and it didn’t disappoint. Followed up by the amazing minster light show. Good light in Lovely York.

   We enjoyed a delicious meal at Guy Fawkes Inn last night. The staff were very welcoming and attentive, giving lots of tips for places to go during our stay in York. We chose the steak pie from the menu which did not disappoint, it was full of flavour and was well worth the wait, we would thoroughly recommend . The only disappointment was the gas lights and candles advertised on the website were nowhere to be seen, a real shame as although we were eating in an historic building the ambience of the promised lighting was lacking and left us feeling a little flat.

    Visited York for the weekend and the wife wasn't going to miss out on trying the 'viral' pie. She wasn't disappointed! Excellent food, great atmosphere and friendly staff. Couldn't fault it.
