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, the new concept 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.
In The Bar at No.1 there's signature cocktails that transports 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.
A guide to a GuestHouse stay - Bringing the dog
Canine friends - welcome! 🐾We`re not just dog-friendly, we`re dog-loving people at GuestHouse. They`ll be spoilt just as much for their very own special stay. We have bespoke @ivyandduke beds and pillows ready in room at check-in, along with a toy and treats 💛
There are a few things to note when booking your stay if you`re thinking of bringing your pup. Not all our rooms are suitable (safety plus tail-wagging space!) and there are a few good-to-knows too. You`ll be able to find all the details for each hotel on our website but you can always give us a call too 📞
So next time you`re thinking of booking a holiday but don`t want to leave them behind...you don`t have to 😉

A sensational 22 degrees celsius, an incredible crowd and sips and bites until sunset. Still buzzing from celebrating the launch of The Terrace by @pearlycowbrighton earlier this week!
