Cast Iron Grill

Cast Iron Grill is the signature restaurant at the hotel on Tadcaster Road, with a grill-led menu built around familiar cooking and a relaxed, casual style. Its food combines traditional favourites with dishes influenced by international cuisines, giving the restaurant a broad choice for hotel guests and other diners looking for a straightforward meal.

The restaurant’s character is informal rather than formal. A casual dress code keeps the setting suitable for everyday dining, whether the occasion is a breakfast, an evening meal or a relaxed drink before or after dinner. The dining room overlooks York Racecourse, adding a clear sense of place without taking the focus away from the food and the comfortable hotel setting.

The menu takes its lead from the grill, while also including established classics and popular dishes from around the world. That balance makes Cast Iron Grill suitable for diners with different tastes, particularly when a group wants a familiar restaurant format with more than one style of food available. The emphasis is on accessible dishes rather than a highly formal or experimental dining experience.

Breakfast is served at the restaurant, and dinner is available in the evening. Cast Iron Grill also connects with Cast Iron Bar, the adjoining hotel bar and lounge. The bar provides a place for cocktails and other drinks, with a setting intended for catching up with friends, settling in for a nightcap or adding a drink to a meal. This gives the venue two distinct uses within the same hotel: a grill restaurant for food and a lounge bar for drinks.

For visitors staying at the hotel, the restaurant is a convenient on-site dining option. Room service is also available through the hotel. For other diners, the location on Tadcaster Road places the restaurant outside the city centre while keeping it close to the racecourse. The combination of casual service, grill cooking, classic options and a separate bar makes it a practical choice for breakfast, dinner or drinks in this part of York.
