Kick-Off Your Day with a Delicious Breakfast
With plenty of Euro 2024 fixtures, including hopefully most of England’s, falling on weekends, our delectable breakfast offerings at The Star Inn The City provide the perfect fuel for a day of football festivities. Served every Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 11am, our morning menu is just the ticket.
Pay homage to the national team by ordering the “Full Yorkshire” – our crown jewel of a full English breakfast. This hearty plate comprises award-winning sausage, smoked back bacon, our signature spiced black pudding, a field mushroom, grilled tomato, fried bread, and a brace of eggs – a true striker’s feast to energise you for the day ahead.
For those seeking something a tad lighter, our Chorizo Beans dish is a crowd-pleaser. Featuring Lishman’s of Ilkley Chorizo Baked Beans, sweet ‘n’ sour peppers, a fried hen egg, and a duck fat hash brown, it’s a flavourful and satisfying option.
Alternatively, indulge your sweet tooth with our ‘Yorkshire Mess’ Pancakes – an American-style pancake stack complete with seasonal berry compote, smashed meringue, and vanilla Chantilly. This sweet celebration of the beautiful game is sure to have you cheering for more.
Be sure to complement your breakfast with one of our enticing brunch cocktails, affectionately dubbed ‘hairs of the dog.’ These refreshing libations are perfect for getting you in the mood for match day festivities. And, of course, we serve what we believe is some of the best coffee in York, ensuring you can order a latte, flat white, or your favourite cup made with delicious CLO coffee to kickstart your day in style.
Delight in Our A La Carte Menu
For a match day treat that goes beyond breakfast, our A La Carte Menu offers an eclectic mix of dishes made with ingredients sourced from the local Yorkshire countryside. It’s the perfect way to indulge before or after the game, ensuring your Euro 2024 experience is as delicious as it is exciting.
Start your meal with one of our delectable starters, such as the Whipped Chicken Liver Parfait. This exquisite dish is served with golden beetroot piccalilli, black pudding ‘crumble’, salted cracked hazelnuts, and warm tin loaf. Another favourite is the Pan Roast King Scallops, paired beautifully with house black pudding, forced Yorkshire rhubarb, and a celeriac & vanilla purée.
Our mains are equally impressive. The Brew York Beer Battered Fish Fritter is a crowd-pleaser, served with crushed garden peas, chip shop curry velouté, and salt ‘n’ vinegar potato ‘scraps’. For something heartier, try our Chargrilled Pork Ribeye, accompanied by garden pea & mint raviolis, spring vegetable & roast tomato ragu.
And no meal is complete without a tempting dessert. Indulge in our ‘Banoffee Choux’, featuring miso caramel and custard cream, or savour the Tanariva 33% Milk Chocolate Custard, served with almond biscotti, boozy cherry compote and liquorice ice cream.
Raise a Glass to the Euros
A great meal deserves a great drink, and our extensive drinks menu has something to complement every dish and get you in the match day spirit. Each dish on our menu comes with a recommended wine pairing, carefully selected by our sommeliers to enhance the flavours of our ingredients. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or simply enjoy a good glass of vino, our pairings are sure to delight.
Of course, the Euros wouldn’t be complete without a cold pint and that’s why we are offering pints of Estrella Damm for just £5! (England matchdays only).
If spirits are more your style, you’ll be pleased to know we have a wide range of local options, including York Gin. And for those looking to celebrate with something a bit more seasonally-appropriate, our latest cocktail menu captures the essence of the season, offering a variety of refreshing and creative concoctions.
