Back in 2013, Andrew Pern (chef/patron of the Star Inn at Harome) turned a dilapidated old engine house beside the Ouse into a splendid riverside restaurant in one of the best locations in the city.

Mains include Indian-spiced roast celeriac, lamb shoulder with whisky and rosemary gravy, and an outstanding dish of halibut served with Whitby crab on crushed new potatoes and a langoustine bisque.

Jelly, cheesecake, chocolate syllabub and sticky date pudding are among a choice of desserts, while the substantial wine list offers plenty by the glass. The restaurant has always welcomed families, so expect an attractive children’s menu of Yorkshire pudding with gravy, chicken goujons, and mac 'n' cheese too. Andrew Pern knows how and who to please.
