Fabulous place with very welcoming staff and lovely breakfast also.
Great place, good food, friendly staff I would recommend highly.
Great friendly staff lovely service and food fresh n hot
our table was available as soon as we arrived, it was the table we requested on the booking. The food was excellent and came within a reasonable timescale even though the restaurant was very busy. The service was very good and anything we requested came very quickly. A really enjoyable meal. Thank you
Brilliant staff and service. Food delicious. Perfect pre theatre meal. Thank you.
Fantastic love this place!! Staff, food, drinks all brilliant, we will be back!
Great food , great staff and a great location !
The waiting staff were amazing, happily adapting the children’s menu for our vegetarian child. All our meals were a good size and tasted amazing. The prices were really great value. Would recommend to anyone.
Great service, lovely food although we did order too much and couldn't finish it. Good mix of people, most of us were going to the Opera House opposite. Would definitely go again to this well established friendly bar
Amazing atmosphere, good table and bar service, Sunday Lunch good value, great food with excellent choice of different meats, only downside food could have been a little hotter. Will go back again.
Lovely food, great atmosphere and by sheer luck the men in our party were able to watch the rugby on the screen nearby.
Excellent service. Annoyed we had to move from our reserved table so that the band could set up before we had even finished our meal.
Lovely meal, service was very good however the benches at the table were not too comfortable. Would definitely go back.

Lovely venue. Gorgeous food, catered well for gluten free. Great staff, really helpful and good service. Will definitely visit again
We booked for a family get together at 5pm on Saturday. There were 9 of us and were seated in the window area which is quite closed off from the rest of the bar. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a lovely lady who I had spoken to on the phone. She really made us feel welcome providing crayons and colouring paper for my grandson and making sure we were all comfortable. The service from start to finish was excellent even though the restaurant was quickly filling up with racegoers etc. The food was fantastic and the menu was very varied and had plenty of veggie options. Overall we had a very enjoyable time and will definitely be back! Thanks to Plonkers for making our visit so enjoyable!
Quiet restaurant. Lovely food, reasonable Prosecco and atmosphere. Thank you!

Extremely tasty food at a great price. Can be quite noisy downstairs when busy
Fabulous Sunday lunch. Best we’ve had for a long time. Lovely friendly pub.
Great service and food as always! ! ! ! 😊
Great staff and food. Only downside were guests from races were in and very very loud
Good food, great service, nice friendly atmosphere. I Highly recommend.
The Food was great , great venue and the staff were fantastic .
I booked ahead as I wasn’t sure how busy it would be and requested a table upstairs. Everything about the place was excellent and the portion size was generous. Well done Plonkers for a great meal experience.
Fantastic tasting food, really friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.
Food lovely staff very helpful just me and my partner sat at our table and the table next to us was ment for 4 and a lady sat next to me nearly on my knee felt a bit intrusive but otherwise great
The table was reserved way before we arrived so when we got there 30mn in advance it wasnt a problem. We waited a long time for the food to arrive but the waiting staff were nice and the food was good. Decent portions served. The drinks were served quickly and they added a raspberry to the glass for the prosecco so it was a nice touch. Would recommend and would return. Extremely convenient for the theatre as it is on the other side of a small quiet street from it.
Good food and service. We all enjoyed our visit and will return.
Really nice place to meet up with people as always the food was great and the staff are fantastic Well worth a visit
Super little restaurant. Good service and excellent food and drinks. Can recommend the homemade steak and ale pie. Handy place to go before a night at the opera house.
The staff and service are excellent. The food are great homemade dishes. Keep up the good work Plonkers. Cannot wait to return.We will recommend to anyone.
Great food in Plonkers and the service is also fabulous , and the wine Really enjoyed our evening bottles of wine, cannot fault it in there.
Fabulous food and atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and professional
food is always good. I would say the night was made by our waitress who just had the best attitude even on a busy NYE - top marks 🙌
Very good service - the team accommodated us as more people arrived! The food ordered was very good and was served swiftly. Can recommend the venue highly.
Great steak and ale pie with a proper real ale, good full English breakfast and excellent service. A chance to catch up with friends. What's not to like?
Nice bistro food OK there was a band on who was good but not enough people in to fill the pub so was a bit flat
Delicious Sunday carvery as always, generous with portion size a fabulous variety of vegetables, extremely tasty large yorkshire puddings. Is our favourite place for Sunday roast. Welcoming family friendly fast service we'll definitely be back soon :-)
Plonkers had wonderful food and an excellent atmosphere. There was a large selection of gins on offer along with a reasonably priced wine list of good quality
Plonkers is, without a doubt, one of the nicest places in York to eat/drink. Top class service, food and atmosphere. Highly recommended.
Welcoming friendly staff. Good service. The food as always was excellent! We always eat at Plonkers prior to going to the theatre as it’s just across the road.
All staff was lovely and friendly. Good service and was checking we we’re happy. Food was lovely had Sunday roast. Good portion size for good appetites 😂. Would recommend
Great service and food. We were eating before going to the theatre and everything was really good. Service was prompt without being too fast and the food was tasty and hot.
Great food, great service, great location & great atmosphere. Welcoming staff and friendly atmosphere with a great selection of tasty food at good prices. Will definitely go again.
Really good service food was very good , just a bit noisy with people packed drinking stood up next to your table but that's the hazard of a small narrow area.
