The Cut & Craft York

You're walking past the Georgian facades of St Sampson's Square when you spot The Cut & Craft tucked into one of York's most characterful corners. Inside, it's all dark wood and ambient lighting—the sort of place that feels both grown-up and genuinely welcoming. The menu is refreshingly straightforward: exceptional cuts of meat cooked properly, alongside seasonal sides that don't overshadow the main event. Their cocktails are taken seriously too, made by people who actually know what they're doing rather than just muddling things about.
