About The York
On Fulwood Rd in Sheffield, The York is a Victorian pub pairing real ales with a menu that runs well beyond the usual pub fare. Alongside Kirkstall Brewery beers and other craft options on tap, the kitchen serves Chettinad dosas, Amritsari fish, butter chicken, and onion bhajis with mint chutney, plus samosa chat and poppadoms served with mango chutney and yoghurt. Sundays bring a buffet with paneer and paratha alongside the full curry menu, in addition to a separate two course Sunday lunch of pork belly or Amritsari fried fish starters followed by mains such as slow cooked beef or ham hock with Yorkshire puddings and spiced roast potatoes. The pub takes walk-ins rather than bookings. An outdoor seating area gives another spot to eat, weather permitting.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly point to Karobar, the Indian kitchen now running inside this Victorian pub, as the main draw, with the Sunday buffet and Sunday roast-curry mashup singled out most often. The samosa chat, fried okra, masala dosa, and onion bhajis paired with a drink all earn individual praise, alongside the Fish and Pink Prawn Amritsari and Butter Chicken Curry from another visit. Several also mention the Kirkstall beers on tap and a short but well-liked wine list rounding out the pub side. Service comes up again and again as attentive and friendly, with one visitor crediting a specific server by role only for going above and beyond, and a group of fifteen reporting a Christmas party handled well. No recurring complaints appear across these accounts. One reviewer closes by noting they'd been coming for drinks for years but Karobar now brings them back specifically for the food.

“Absolutely fantastic food - the dosa were so delicious, but the samosa chat was INCREDIBLE. Spiced, creamy, with a hint of sweetness too - I'd eat it again any day.”

“Wish I could leave a six star rating! We went for the buffet on Sunday, and couldn't believe how good the food was. Really tasty, with dishes on offer that you don't often find - especially not at the pub! The paneer was especially good, and I fully recommend pairing everything with the paratha! Pub atmosphere was really cosy, with a great range of Kirkstall beers on offer. Cherry on the cake was the staff, who went above and beyond for us. Really lovely, very people! 😁”

“Delightful from start to finish! The food is unexpected - flavourful, unique and you can tell there’s passion in the cooking. The fried okra was unreal, particularly with the sauce. I also loved the masala dosa. Ekta delivered great service and was attentive and friendly. I’ve been going to The York for drinks for years but Karobar has me coming back just for the food.”

“Went for the Sunday Lunch. (x2 courses £25) South India meets South Yorkshire. Brilliant mash up of flavours. We actually had 'pre starters' by ordering some Pyaaz Bhaji crispy, onion fritters with an amazing Mint Chutney. Followed by pork belly and Amritsari fried fish, both rather large portions for a starters. But great flavours. Mains of slow cooked beef and a ham hock, served with Yorkshire puds, spicy roast spuds and broccoli, Really good fresh take on a sunday roast. Loved it. Short but interesting, and affordable, wine list. Big range of craft beers. Great venue, One to come back to for sure”
