So I am a sucker for “V is for Vendetta”. When I saw that Guy Fawkes was born in York, I had to search out something that connected York to the character.
The Guy Fawkes Inn serves a menu of mostly bar options in the home where Guy Fawkes was born. The walls are covered with quotes and quips about the infamous guy Fawkes.
The picture above tells the basic story. “V for Vendetta” is not a retelling, but certainly does some borrowing. So OK… seeing this sort of stuff was pretty cool. But what about the food?
In a word… meh. I’ve included the menu above so you can see prices and selection. I had a burger, which was unremarkable. Wife had classic fish & chips, was… well… horrible. They also have a rule that one must prepay for the meal when you order so you don’t walk out without payment. No real issue with this… but a number of other tables of mostly tourists around us certainly did. Felt sorry for our server about having to explain this rule.
Bottom Line – go here for a bit of culture history… but should not be on the top of your list for a must have meal while in York.
