Daily Specials At The Star Inn The City
Located in York’s historic Old Engine House and nestled right on the banks of the charming River Ouse, The Star Inn The City is the ultimate food-led celebration destination.
Throughout the year our talented chefs, inspired by the vision of Michelin-starred Andrew Pern, work meticulously to showcase top Yorkshire produce with local and seasonal influences leading the way.
Bringing a little bit of the country to the city is our beloved mantra, and our offering runs from breakfast until late with a menu of mouth-watering dishes that makes the best of God’s Own Country produce, from coast to field and the forest floor.

In line with our commitment to serving the freshest and finest seasonal cuisine, we have a number of specials available every day designed by our exceptional chefs.

To give you a small flavour of what to expect, some recent daily specials include a sumptuous Venison Loin accompanied by Pearl Barley Risotto, Onions and Rainbow Kale.
Incorporating succulent seafood, other recent specials include a spectacular Pan Roasted Gigha Halibut served with a North Sea Fishcake, Foraged Sea Beets, French Style Peas and Pickled Girolles.
