Corner Grill House puts Yorkshire produce at the heart of its menu, with locally sourced ingredients and aged beef forming the backbone of this independent York restaurant. Steak is a particular speciality, but the menu stretches well beyond the grill, covering modern European dishes, seafood and vegetarian and vegan options, alongside set menus and a dedicated Sunday roast.
The Corner Grill House menu includes a 60-day salt-aged T-bone served with fries, while other substantial plates include beef medallions with buttery mashed potato, lamb rump, Cajun chicken and a changing fish of the day. Before that, diners might start with lamb kofta, chilli prawns, pork belly bites or duck liver and orange pate with sourdough. A two- or three-course set menu provides another way to dine, while desserts range from sticky toffee pudding and banoffee pie to lemon posset.
Corner Grill House's dining room has plenty of warmth and character. Olive-green leather seating sits against wood-panelled walls, with ambient lighting and natural materials adding depth to the space. Greenery is used generously, including foliage suspended across the ceiling, while an illuminated wine display covering one wall makes another striking focal point.
Sunday has its own menu, with beef, pork and meat-free roasts served with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes and the traditional accompaniments. Extras such as pigs in blankets can be added on the side. Children have their own choices too, including burgers and fries, a smaller Sunday roast and ice cream.
Wine is available by the glass, alongside cocktails, spirits, beers, ciders and soft drinks. With its intimate tables and convivial dining room, Corner Grill House works particularly well for dates, birthdays and dinners with friends or family.
