Andrew Pern (the Star Inn at Harome, et al) has the knack of securing the most superior locations for his restaurants. His latest acquisition, in the former York Minster choir school, is a stunning Gothic listed building within the precincts of the mighty cathedral. While an all-day menu delivered mixed results, the real winner here is the location and the sweeping outdoor terrace. A table in the sunshine with a chilled glass of Hattingley Valley sparkling wine, plus a dish of roast merguez sausage or a burger with skinny fries from the ‘light bites’ menu (12-6pm) is hard to resist – especially with a close-up view of the Minster thrown in.
