About this menu
Charles XII is a pub in York, serving pub food that runs from starters and loaded sharers through to big plates, the grill and pub classics such as lasagne and breaded scampi & chips. Jacket potatoes, toasties, wraps and baguettes sit alongside burgers, including What A Porka, plus a chicken feast and a chippy section. Sides, extras and dessert round out the food, and the drinks run from soft drinks through to Guinness, Carlsberg and premium pints.
For a smaller meal, Lighter Bites, toasties, or wraps and baguettes are the places to look, while fuller plates are found in Big Plates, The Grill or Pie Shop Platter. Anyone wanting a straightforward order can go to the mains deal, then add chips from Sides. Drinkers can pick a soft drink, or move up to an alcoholic drink or a premium pint for a little extra.
