Pig & Potato

Pig & Potato is a first-floor comfort-food restaurant and bar on Grape Lane in York. The menu centres on handmade sausages served with creamy mashed potato and rich gravy, while also offering hearty mains and lighter bites. The menu is entirely gluten-free, giving the venue a clear appeal for diners seeking a broad choice without gluten.

The sausages are made with meat from free-range pigs, reflecting the venue’s focus on ingredient sourcing as well as traditional, filling food. The style is straightforward and familiar, with substantial plates suited to a relaxed meal rather than formal dining. Lighter options provide an alternative for diners who do not want a full sausage-and-mash serving.

Inside, Pig & Potato combines an air-conditioned dining room with a cosy bar. The drinks selection includes beer, wine and handcrafted cocktails, creating a setting that works for a meal, a drink, or a social gathering. The venue also features an upstairs pool and darts room, adding an activity-led element for groups of friends and diners looking to continue their visit beyond the table.

The first-floor setting gives Pig & Potato a distinct position among Grape Lane’s food and drink spots. Its mix of familiar comfort food, an all-gluten-free menu, drinks and games makes it suitable for casual lunches, evening meals and informal group occasions. Table bookings are encouraged, particularly for parties planning to eat and use the upstairs games area. The venue also offers a courtyard, which may suit diners looking for an outdoor setting when available.
