Found within the enchanting city of York, The Old Bank is found within a grand old building - one that once held the treasures of a bank, this establishment has transformed into a friendly restaurant where the past seamlessly blends with the present (enchanting architecture and modern interiors). Rich wooden accents and plush seats create an atmosphere that is both inviting and refined, offering a cosy spot for customers. The nearby cobbled streets and charming boutiques add another layer of allure to the dining encounter, creating an atmosphere that is very quintessentially British and enchanting.
The menu at The Old Bank is full of classic, British food traditions. Kicking off with breakfast, the menu offers a simple selection of a full English, the veggie alternative, and a traditional breakfast consisting of a Cumberland sausage, bacon, fried free-range eggs, baked beans, a hash brown, button mushrooms, black pudding, a grilled tomato, and toast with butter. Phew.
If you’re visiting at lunch time or after, why not start your meal with a tasty starter or a selection of small plates to share? Crispy coated prawns and panko-bread crumbed calamari sticks are drizzled in lemon mayo, potato skins are stuffed with three bean chilli and vegan cheese, and tender grilled chicken is skewered with Korean BBQ sauce. There are deals of wings, sharing dishes, and a burger and a drink, along with a hearty pie of the day, sausages and mash, and a grilled steak.
2-4-1 cocktails are served by the glass, and include a fruity Strawberry Daiquiri, refreshing Berry Blush, and punchy Long Island Iced Tea. You can enjoy a classic afternoon tea, including sandwiches and wraps, scones and desserts, and tea and coffee for a great price, or make it boozy with a few glasses of Prosecco or cocktails.
