Food & drink at No. 1 York is integral to our DNA. Our kitchen and bar team cleverly conjure the essence of great British escapes to create flavours that feel familiar and original all at once.
Pearly Cow, our restaurant that resides within No.1, York serves only the very best produce from the surrounding land and sea. On the menu, there’s raw and light and smoky and deep. They keep it simple; cooking over fire or serving over ice to always put nature first. Breakfast at Pearly Cow is light, hearty, or kick-starting with oysters and spiced-as-you-like bloody Marys. Lunch and dinner feature star ingredients in classics, interpretations, sharing dishes, and divine desserts. And kids have their own Pearly Calves menu. Pearly Cow is open for lunch and dinner Friday - Sunday.
In the Rhubarb Bar there's signature cocktails that transport you to the fireside after a wintry walk in the dales. And the local honey so heather-fragrant that it’s as though you’re rambling in the wildest nature of the North York Moors. Those moments of escape from everyday life to revel in the wonder of our island’s charms is, for us, something to treasure and share.
Our house menu is available from noon - 9pm Monday - Thursday in the informal setting of the Rhubarb Bar and Marmalade lounge, offering a range of light bites, small and large plates.
For every kind of love - self, friends, partners or whoever comes to mind 💌

I checked out the room
Listened to some music from the in-room record player
Watched the waves roll in from my bedroom window
Spent a LOT of time on the beach
Well deserved naps in my @ivyandduke bed
