My
wife
and
I
are
spending
a
well
earned
break
in
the
city
of
York
and
decided
to
take
In
some
of
the
history
of
this
beautiful
City.
We
were
looking
for
somewhere
to
eat
out
for
dinner
and
thought
that
there
would
be
nothing
better
than
dining
where
Guy
Fawkes
was
born,
at
the
Guy
Fawkes
Inn.
What
a
great
place
to
drink
and
eat,
you
can
feel
the
sense
of
history
as
you
walk
though
the
door.
The
decor
is
fitting
for
the
establishment.
We
were
greeted
warmly
by
Tara
and
was
shown
to
a
lovely
table
in
the
corner
of
the
main
restaurant.
Tara
was
very
sweet
and
made
sure
we
were
made
very
welcome
and
took
our
orders
promptly.
The
menu
was
varied
and
had
something
for
everybody.
I
ordered
the
whitebait
for
starter
with
tartar
sauce
which
was
cooked
beautifully
and
the
tartar
was
excellent
and
had
a
lovely
sharp
acidity
to
it.
My
wife
ordered
the
black
pudding
bonbons
which
had
a
lovely
covering
of
crispy
breadcrumbs
and
wasn't
at
all
greasy.
The
black
pudding
inside
had
a
lovely
texture
and
a
distinctive
taste.
For
my
main
course
I
decided
to
try
the
Guy
Fawkes
famous
steak
pie,
well
let's
say
I
wasnt
disappointed....it
was
huge!!!
The
steak
meat
was
succulent
and
tender
and
melted
in
the
mouth,
the
gravy
was
velvety
and
was
seasoned
nicely.
The
pastry
was
cooked
perfectly,
no
soggy
bottom
here!!
My
wife
ordered
the
Irish
stew
which
the
lamb
meat
fell
off
the
bone
it
was
so
tender.
All
in
all
the
service,
food
and
sense
of
history
all
hit
the
mark
as
far
as
we
were
concerned.
Also
a
nice
touch
by
the
management
was
to
allow
me
to
purchase
a
Guy
Fawkes
tankard
for
myself
and
one
for
my
brother
in
law
in
Australia.
If
you
are
in
York
I
highly
recommend
you
visit
the
Guy
Fawkes
Inn
for
a
meal.
You
won't
leave
feeling
hungry!!
