The Star Inn The City Launches New Autumn/Winter Menu
The Star Inn The City is thrilled to introduce our eagerly anticipated new menu, designed to celebrate the very best of autumn and winter produce. As an award-winning restaurant, we’ve always been committed to offering our patrons a unique culinary experience that brings a taste of the countryside into the heart of the city. Our renowned approach marries the sophistication of smart Yorkshire cooking with the comforting warmth of our friendly, welcoming service.
This season, we’re particularly excited to present a menu that pays homage to the bountiful offerings of autumn and winter. It’s a time when nature reveals its most vibrant colours, and we aim to reflect that vibrancy on our plates!
Introducing The New Menu
Our new menu has been meticulously designed by our expert team, who share a deep connection with the seasons and a passion for Yorkshire cooking. As the leaves turn to shades of amber and the brisk chill of winter beckons, this menu celebrates the game season and showcases the best of local, seasonal produce.
A Glimpse Into Our Starters
Our starters on the new menu invite you to explore a world of flavours that perfectly capture the essence of the season. One standout option is our House Smoked Mackerel Pate, served with ‘Big Apple Jelly,’ fresh horseradish, and onion tin loaf. This dish harmoniously blends traditional and contemporary elements, offering a mixture of stunning flavours that evoke the spirit of autumn.
For those who appreciate the hearty game season, our Yorkshire Moors Shot Partridge Risotto is a revelation. It features chestnut mushrooms, wilted garden kale, braised chestnuts, and aged Parmesan. The dish is a true embodiment of the rustic charm of Yorkshire.
Vegetarians are not left behind either. Our York Bee Truffled Honey Baked Goat’s Cheese is a mouth-watering creation, featuring roasted figs, hazelnuts, and a sherried raisin dressing.
Delicious Mains To Savour
Our mains on the new menu are designed to transport diners into a world of rich, comforting flavours. The Eight Hours Braised Ox Cheek, served with autumn truffle creamed potatoes, beef fat carrot, and a ‘Bourguignon’ garnish, is an epitome of the comforting warmth of winter.
For a taste of Yorkshire’s finest, the Maple Roasted Yorkshire Duck Breast takes centre stage. Accompanied by charred Muscade pumpkin, confit leg, autumn root ragù, and a ginger parkin crumb, this dish is a beautiful reflection of the season’s palette.
Fish lovers will also find our Pan Fried Stonebass with Confit Morteau Sausage particularly enticing. Enhanced with Madeira wild mushrooms, charred Hispi, and a truffle dressing, the delicate balance of flavours showcases our region’s exceptional produce.
Sweet Endings To Satisfy Every Craving
Desserts are the crowning glory of any meal, and our new menu does not disappoint. The Bramley Apple & Golden Raisin ‘Crumble’ Tart, with buckwheat pastry, oat granola, and pear & ginger ice cream, brings the delightful essence of autumn to the table.
The Medjool Date & Walnut Cake with ‘Tiramisu Whip,’ boozy prunes, and bitter cocoa is a perfect marriage of comforting winter indulgence with the finesse of our chefs.
A special mention must go to our York Bee Honey Baked Custard, which is lavishly adorned with honeycomb, lemon thyme, fig, and bee pollen. This dessert is a harmonious celebration of locally-sourced ingredients, truly embodying the essence of a Yorkshire-inspired sweet delight.
Snacks Of Substance: The Perfect Lunchtime Treat
For those after a more casual bite, we offer “Snacks of Substance.” These delectable options, available between 12pm-3pm, are perfect for a quick and satisfying lunchtime treat.
Snacks of Substance options on our new menu include the delicious Butcher’s Pork Pie, served with mustard mash, minted crushed peas, and ‘Bourguignon’ gravy. This dish reflects the heartiness of Yorkshire comfort food and the perfect embodiment of winter sustenance.
Alternatively, our Buttermilk Fried Yorkshire Wolds Chicken Sandwich is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Featuring spiced fried chicken thigh, toasted herb focaccia, red cabbage ‘slaw, gem lettuce, vine tomato, Leeds Pecorino mayonnaise, and skinny fries, it’s a crunchy, succulent delight.

Additionally, our guests can explore a selection of local spirits, including Yorkshire gin and local ales. For those seeking something more adventurous, our specialty cocktails, such as the divine Blood Orange Collins, awaits.
