Located in St. Sampsons Square - a historic part of York’s city centre known for selling great meat since the 12th century - The Cut & Craft York is widely considered one of York’s best steak restaurants.

Boasting its own in-house master butcher and a signature 10oz Flat Iron steak, this elegant restaurant is stylishly decorated with historic features throughout. Open daily for lunch and dinner, with brunch and roasts on the weekends, it’s centrally located close to the famous mediaeval York Shambles and under the shadow of York Minster.

    The restaurant is well decorated and a good atmosphere. Unfortunately the pork apt and the rib eye were not great. Rib eye grizzly and the pork stodgy and no taste! For the price would not return. They did compensate the steak with a glass of wine.

    The service and vibe of this place was very good. I enjoyed the Pork Belly starter but my main of Sirloin Steak was disappointing. The steak was overcooked and the chips were best described as the scraps… I think I had 2 whole chips and unfortunately they were cold. Couldn’t fault the rectification as in the waitress removed the cost for the so called chips and offered a free dessert, so fair play they did try to resolve there and then. Shame the kitchen let the servers and restaurant down on this occasion.

    Thank you Matt for your feedback. We're really pleased you enjoyed the atmosphere and appreciated the effort from our team to make things right, but we are genuinely sorry that you were disappointed with your main course. This is not the standards we aim for, and we completely understand your frustration. We have passed your comments on to our Head Chef to ensure this is addressed. We appreciate you recognising the service and hope to have another chance to turn this experience around in the future. The Cut & Craft
