The Old Deanery

You'll find The Old Deanery tucked away on Minster Road, just far enough from the cathedral precinct to feel like a proper escape. Step inside and you're in a beautifully proportioned Georgian townhouse where high ceilings and period details set the tone—but it's the thoughtful cooking that keeps people coming back. The kitchen takes British ingredients seriously, treating them with precision rather than fuss. It's the sort of place where you feel genuinely looked after; staff know their stuff without hovering, and the wine list actually reflects what's on the plate. Whether you're celebrating or just fancy an evening that feels a touch removed from everyday life, this delivers.
