I finally got myself to The Cut & Craft York! A few months ago, one of my Instagram friends posted a photo of their meal at a steak place in York. I’ve been dying to go ever since. Cut and Craft York is in the centre of beautiful York, it’s a steak house and sells craft beer, amongst other drinks. But is it the best steak in York?
About Cut and Craft York
Cut and Craft is a popular steakhouse and cocktail bar in the heart of York, England. The Cut and Craft menu a range of meat dishes, including steak, pork, and lamb, all of which are sourced from local suppliers and are of high quality.
One of the highlights of Cut and Craft is its cocktail bar, which offers a wide selection of classic and creative cocktails, as well as a variety of wines, beers, and spirits. The bar has a cosy and sophisticated atmosphere, making it a popular spot for a night out or a pre-dinner drink.
Cut and Craft Menu
As Cut and Craft is a steak house, the star of the show is steak, but they do offer other dishes including some vegetarian and vegan options. Although it would be nice to see some more vegan options as at the time of writing this, there are only two. There is also a dedicated gluten-free menu which is very impressive. They also have a lunch menu and offer Sunday Lunch.

My Cut and Craft York Review
Initial thoughts of the place is were that it looked very ‘modern and trendy’. It was packed and they were playing loud pop/chart music. This ruined the mood a little bit as it made it seem more like a Revolutions or Wetherspoons than a nice place to grab a steak. This was due to us going on the weekend where the city was gearing up for nights out.
This instantly lowered both of our expectations of what was to come.
We both ordered fillets, mine medium rare with popcorn sauce, while my boyfriend had rare with a blue cheese sauce.
It was actually delicious. I’ve had lots of steaks and I can tell you, that was a good steak. My boyfriend agreed. I just wish there were a little peppercorn sauce and a little less loud music!
I also got a free glass of wine. To be honest, I don’t know what happened. I think the waiter thought we both asked for a new drink but I didn’t, but she told me just to keep it so he didn’t get in trouble with his boss and he wouldn’t charge us for it! So I drank two large glasses of Shiraz. Oops! I’ve quit drinking and have like one glass of wine a month with a meal out, but I wasn’t going to say no to free wine! I was a bit tipsy but thankfully not hungover the next day.
We have been back to The Cut and Craft four times since writing this post.
We went on a midweek early evening and it was much quieter. It seemed more relaxed without the music playing. We’ve also been for lunch and had a steak sandwich from the lunch menu which was delicious!

Booking
You can book online via their website. Sadly, Children under 10 cannot attend dinner. This is disappointing as I took my baby about a year ago, so this must be a new rule. Children can go for lunch.
I would advise booking, especially on the weekend, as it is always busy.
