The York Minster School was established in 1903 in a building that was initially built for St Peter’s School within the Minster’s Precinct in 1833.

Accessible-to-all, York Minster Refectory has a daytime takeaway element and evening dining along with a mixture of smaller function, lounge and private dining options.

The restaurant lets the seasons write its menus, based on Yorkshire’s brilliant pantry of food and supplied by a full array of White Rose flag producers.

Run day to day by Joshua Brimmell, executive head chef of The Star Inn The City, he and Andrew Pern oversee the development of the menus.

Our approach to the food and cooking is very much old-fashioned British-style favourites with a new take through Anglicised French classics.

In other words, everything that is good about the food, drink, people and places of York and Yorkshire!
