SUNDAY LUNCH GUY FAWKES INN
High Petergate, York. By The Puboholic @Puboholic.
As I continue my search for the best Sunday lunch in York, we visited The Guy Fawkes Inn, sat in the shadow of York Minster. What’s on offer? As the meat on offer changes week to week there is a specials board with the roasts on. Traditional Sunday Lunch; Beef, Lamb, or Chicken. And of course...
homemade Yorkshire puddings. £10.95.
What worked? Almost everything. The beef was one of the nicest cuts of meat I’ve found on my search with no gristle to be seen and completely pink in the middle, it really was fantastic. Both the mash and the roast potatoes were full of flavour, although the roasties lacked that wonderful crisp shell that I’m finding so elusive. So many places take their Yorkshire’s to the very brink of being burnt but these were light and fluffy in the centre and a perfect crisp on top. The side dishes were plentiful and perfectly cooked, the cauliflower cheese was so filling it remained unfinished but the bright, crisp veg was the perfect accompaniment to the main course. Overall we were completely satisfied by the portions and the quality and would recommend this over and over. What didn’t work?
The dining room at The Guy Fawkes Inn is mainly candle lit with a couple of flame-effect bulbs scattered around (most of which are off). It’s was quite an effort to get the picture of the meal for this review without using a flash as the room is so dark. Although this would be fantastically atmospheric while drinking, I like to see what I’m eating, and it was just a step too dark for me. Is it York’s Best Sunday Lunch? It’s the best so far all round.
