Plonkers

Nice atmosphere, friendly courteous staff. Little slow with the order but otherwise good food. Perfect for pre theatre meal. Reasonable value for substantial meal - will go again.

Great value for money, fantastic food, amazing staff, very welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. Good atmosphere, great selection of drinks, fab location. Well worth a visit.

Lovely little venue. Restaurant upstairs, separate to the main bar. Friendly prompt service. Good home cooked food, and plenty of it. Nice for drinks only too.

We have been going for lunch at Plonkers for the last 6 years and have always found the service friendly and excellent and lovely food, our last experience did not let us down.

Lovely food as always, great service and a lovely atmosphere! Food was amazing and I asked for something that wasn’t on the menu and they were more than happy to help.

Great find. Food & service very good. Location perfect for Opera House - but don’t tell anyone!

Excellent service. Food delicious. Lovely big gin glasses . On arrival staff were courteous and welcoming.first time and definately go again. Many thanks for a good pre show meal

Really good carvery lunch this time, with generous portions. Great value for money, good service and couldn't fault it. Went for a relaxed lunch and that's exactly what we got. Second visit here as our daughter is at Uni and won't be our last.

As usual the food was excellent and the staff so so friendly. Highly recommended. It is our favourite place in York and never fails to make us smile.

Excellent food and service. Great selection of cask ales. Try the home made steak pie and the sticky toffee pudding, it doesn't get any better than this.

Very nice, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly service. Soup special starter (spiced winter veg) was gorgeous. A really good place for having a good quality but reasonably priced meal.

A must when your visiting york,food is amazing and great selection of beers and wines.Staff are great will do anything to help you and cater for children.

Quirky little bar, friendly staff and tasty food, we called in twice during our visit to York, Sunday lunch for a quick drink, very busy with carvers, we ate Sunday evening, much quieter, hanging kebabs were great.

Still very good. It was very busy inside and outside nut service still fine. We went specially for the fish platter but that has now gone off the menu. Had the meat and cheese platter instead. Good value

Great place, great staff, great service. Plonkers is a must visit for anyone going to York.

Absolutely superb service & food! I cannot fault the place. Really good starter and main course. Well presented and very good value meal. Highly recommend this place.

The service was friendly and efficient. The food was good quality - home cooked and fresh - with a wide choice on the menu. Relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely meal and nice little pub very handy location to everything else . I had rump steak with pepper sauce was very nice will visit again

Fabulous place. Fabulous food. Fabulous staff. Cannot be faulted. Visited today and sampled the 'hanging kebabs'. Beautifully cooked and excellent value for money. Can't wait to return on our next visit to York

Love this little gem of York. Used to only go after being to Grand Opera House but now use it all the time. Whenever we have guests visiting it's the place we take them

Our table was ready. We were served quickly with our drinks and given an appropriate time to decide on our menu choices. Food was excellent as was the friendly service.

Plonkers is in a great location, has been decorated really nicely and the food was lovely. Staff were really friendly and helpful, would visit again.

Went here today for Mother's Day meal. It was beautiful. Service was great, the waitress was very helpful and pleasant. She suggested the steak and ale pie, we all ended up with it, and it's the best pie I have ever eaten

Very accommodating waitress who arranged a larger mezze starter to share and made us welcome. The fish mezze starter was very good and the main a hanging chicken kebab was also very tasty. The only negative was a male staff member who served the food and appeared defensive bordering on aggressive when asked a couple of questions I. E. Have you forgotten the glass of wine? This was asked because the rest of us had received our drinks several minutes earlier. His unfortunate manner resulted in a reduced tip.

Visited plonkers after a recommendation. Was very pleased we went .nice place .good atmosphere. Food was very nice and service was good. We would definitely visit again next time in york .

The service was lovely and the place looked great, but the food was pretty awful. I had a veggie bean chillie and rice. When it arrived I got a waft of a sweaty smell. Then I realised it was a powdery smell of possibly cayenne pepper. It destroyed the taste and when you got past the heat, there was no flavour. I love very hot things and enjoy getting past that and then being to taste the meal. This was terrible. They need to use chillies like jalapenos, sweet chillies that are sharp and/or scotch bonnets. If heat is what they are going for, scotch bonnets should do the trick. Also, there was a lack of beans and other vegetable substance. So it was effectively just cayenne pepper paste. Such a massive shame.

Really great atmosphere and brilliant, attentive helpful staff. We arrived later than expected due to traffic but staff were aware we were seeing show at opera house and got our meals cooked to order and with enough time to eat comfortably before show. Returned back after show and atmosphere still good with good music being played from the dj behind the bar. Saw some of the crew from show and enjoyed people watching and a good few gin/ tonics. Will definitely recommend and return when back visiting York.

A great welcome from the staff who provided friendly and attentive service throughout our visit. The chilli was hot but very nice and the lasagne was lovely. I can totally recommend Plonkers and I would definitely visit again.

Nice, reasonably-priced food in a nice place, friendly and efficient staff, and a good atmosphere. Would definitely go again, and I can recommend the hanging kebabs!

Great food and excellent service. We were off to the theatre so appreciated the fact that we didn't have to wait long for our food.

We've dined there a few times and we loved it as always. The food was good, the service was excellent and the music they have playing is always to our taste. We'll eat there again.

Great! Fabulous, attentive service. Great beers, great food, lovely 'ambience' .. Can't fault it! This will be our new lunch-time venue... We are not evening people.. Well done Plonkers!!!!!

Lovely food, atmosphere and staff! We arrived earlier than expected but that wasn't a problem. Food is excellent value for money and staff were very attentive

My friends and I had a very enjoyable evening at Plonkers. The staff were friendly and looked after us well. We all enjoyed our food and the atmosphere was very good.

It had Good food and good beer. Friendly staff and nice chilled atmosphere (not stuck up). All for a reasonable price. I Would go again.

Excellent service, excellent food but the music was just a little loud for us. The restaurant ambience is good and the menu is a delight

Having been to Plonkers a couple of weeks ago for the Sunday carvery I treated my husband and granddaughter. It didn't disappoint. What a lovely way to spend a Sunday. Will be back very soon

Realising I was on my own for the weekend as hubby was away with work I made a reservation at Plonkers for Sunday lunch just for me. A little later I had a phone call to check that my table was for one and not 11. This mistake had happened before apparently. I arrived just before 1pm. My table was waiting with menu so I sat down and immediately was asked if I would like a drink. The lady explained the Sunday carvery was also available with a selection of meats. I chose the beef carvery which came with a selection of vegetables potatoes stuffing gravy and an enormous Yorkshire pudding. The meal was delicious and the service fantastic. I have been several times to this restaurant on an evening but never for Sunday lunch. I will definitely be back and next time maybe take my husband

Plonkers is a very wonderful experience in York. Good food, lively atmosphere, great staff. Great ales and wines. We visit every time we're in York.

Lovely steak and ale pie! Quite noisy with children running up and down and music speaker above our head! Couldn't hear our own conversation.Staff friendly.

Very nice food, excellent portion sizes and good value for money. Will certainly be eating here again in the future. Only reason did not score full marks was the fact that dogs were allowed in the pub when food was served.

Another gorgeous meal at a fabulous restaurant. I had the prawn red Thai curry and although quite hot was delicious. My friends had a burger and a green Thai curry and they enjoyed their meal as much as I did. Won't be long before I'm back again

Excellent food, service and draft beers. The home made steak pie is the best I have ever had and why we always make a bee line for Plonkers whenever we visit York.

lively atmosphere. The staff were very efficient and welcoming great range of food huge portions and all home cooked great value for money excellent place

brilliant food brilliant atmosphere brilliant service brilliant value for money I shall be recommending you to all my friends and will definitely be back again soon

Great value food and nice service by a lovely waitress. All food delivered on time and hot. Six of us had different meals all good!

Best pub I tried in York. Great food with a variety of offerings. The chicken with green curry was very well prepared. Wonderful staff, very accommodating.

Waited an hour for food and was not hot when arrived and expensive for what we got rather eat at our local Mason's arms Hotel and restaurant

We dined as a couple, had great food and found the service friendly and it was a good atmosphere. Stopped for the quiz which was on the night we dined. We would recommend this bar for a night out in York.
