Description:
The Fat Badger is a characterful pub, restaurant and boutique inn tucked beside Bootham Bar and York’s ancient city walls. Its seasonal menu gives classic British pub food a polished finish, using locally sourced meat, fresh fish and Yorkshire produce. Add real ales, an extensive gin selection and a garden overlooking York Minster, and it becomes a particularly appealing place to lose an afternoon.

​

​

Make a Day of It:
Walk the city walls to Bootham Bar, explore York Minster and visit York Art Gallery before settling into The Fat Badger’s garden for food and drinks. Stay long enough for the Minster view to become atmospheric, then consider booking one of the rooms when leaving starts to feel unnecessarily ambitious.

​

The Tidy Take:
The Fat Badger combines proper pub comfort with one of York’s most enviable locations. The food is polished, the ale is well chosen and the garden delivers a magnificent view of the Minster and city walls. Find a sunny table and defend it with the determination of an actual badger.
