Welcome
Hello and welcome to the Lamb & Lion, here in the heart of medieval York.
Our Inn is actually built into the ancient city walls at the site of the original Roman entrance! An unbeatable location next to the Minster itself. With its dark corridors, open fires, staircases and little snugs everywhere, the Lamb & Lion is steeped in history and full of life today.
We have twelve beautiful hotel bedrooms and employ real chefs who prepare simple dishes from fresh ingredients. With an ever changing selection of ales, including our own Golden Mane IPA, Lambkin and Hattersley Stout, we also have an extensive selection of wine and Champagne by the glass.
Fancy Al-Fresco drinks and dining? Our lovely garden has unrivalled views of the Minster and features the unique Lion Bar Outdoor Grill, where we'll show you what BBQ cooking is all about!
We're the only privately owned Inn left in York and we hope to see you soon for a really cheerful stay in our fabulous city.
