Hole In The Wall

I had traveled to York for the day, while staying in Scarborough, to meet up with a friend from the US. She was exploring the city, as it was her very first time in England. We spent the day walking the walls and taking in the sights and sounds this ancient city had to offer. Later that day, after building up an appetite, we decided to look for somewhere to quench our thirst and enjoy a bite to eat. The Hole in The Wall came up as a good option and so, decided to give it a try. As you walk inside, I got that archaic and cosy vibe about the place, with plenty of seating available. I loved seeing the bits of information dotted around, about the history of the pub (great for those into history!) Ordering food and drinks was super simple, via the QR Code on the table. Also noticed a NGCI (Non-Gluten Containing Ingredients) menu, which is great for those who have to adhere to a strict diet. I did have to go to the bar to order my drink, as shandy was not on the menu. But that was not an issue at all for me, as it gave me a chance to stretch my legs and take in more of the pub. The bearded chap at the bar was super pleasant and very friendly, great customer service. After a bit, our food came out and I must say, it was a pretty good steak and ale pie. It had a great taste and was nice and hot! The chips were lovely and crispy on the outside, and fluffy within. There was plenty of gravy in the jug too! Although there was music playing, it wasn't that loud that we couldn't hear ourselves talking. The chap who served me at the bar, asked if both our meals were alright, which was nice and also bid us farewell as we were leaving too. It's little things like this, that make you want to return. I'd definitely come back here again, great atmosphere and a great place to grab a drink and a bit to eat while in the ancient city of York.

Nice pub feel! A separate gluten free menu with good choices. The Food is a good pub grub standard.
