Dark tones, cosy booths and pictures of
seductive paintings of ladies in various states of

pictures of the girls who plied their ware, a
much talked about environment which attracts
multitudes of evening diners.
Separate lunchtime and evening menus offer
all manner of culinary delights, in addition to an
imaginative specials board. Dishes are
traditional yet with a contemporary twist such as
the roasted monkfish with crispy proscuitto on a
saffron and squid risotto

the River Foss, or upstairs where a warm and
busy atmosphere awaits with an eclectic range
of tables and chairs.
