The Dormouse is built on the site of the old Clifton hospital, originally known as the North and East Riding Pauper Hospital when it opened in 1847. These days, we look after visitors and locals rather than patients and instead of a hospital, we offer friendly hospitality and delicious food and drink, creating the ideal setting in which to relax and unwind.

Perfectly placed for visitors to ancient York and world class attractions like the Jorvik Centre, our pub is popular with walkers, tourists and cyclists – there’s even an orchard for those who like their fresh air.

The Sunday roast dinner is a Great British pub-food tradition The Dormouse wholeheartedly honour – and as a country pub, it’s our duty to offer the fine folk of York a fitting feast every weekend.

Tuck into Sundays, Vintage style

Sundays at your favourite Vintage are the perfect occasion to gather together your loved ones. We serve a minimum of two of the following hand-carved meats plus a vegetarian option, as always with crispy roast potatoes, fresh vegetables and lashings of gravy…

• Roast beef and Yorkshire pudding
• Roast turkey with stuffing
• Herb crusted loin of sweet-cured pork (sourced from one of the only specialist bacon and gammon curers in the UK still using traditional methods)
• Carrot and nut roast

To wash it all down, we recommend one of our fine wines or seasonal ask ales. Roast beef and real ale – now there’s a rare Sunday pairing.

Make your own traditions

Eating out at your local pub on Sunday isn’t just about the traditional roast. For example, we’ve got braised pork belly and lamb shank for those who prefer a twist on a classic.

At The Dormouse, our freshly roasted Sunday dinners are very popular and whilst we try to serve them until 5pm, once they are gone that’s it until next Sunday! Book a table now to enjoy your Sunday roast with family and friends.
