York's Culinary credentials are set for a major boost this month in the form of a new Steak & Alehouse opening on York's North Street, celebrating
the best in British food and drink.

The Whippet Inn is a sympathetically restored Victorian pub with quirky modern artwork and wallpaper, giving it an understated decadence. Co-owner Martin Bridge explains, “We have created a place where people can feel comfortable and relaxed - a sort of home from home. We describe it as the third place, after home and work, where people will enjoy spending their time. We aim to become a valued part of the York community”.

By using locally sourced food produce, real ales and lagers from Yorkshire breweries, the Whippet will also be doing its best to supporting local businesses. The core of the menu will be steaks and the rest of the a la carte will feature fresh British feel, with a daily specials board.

The wine and champagne list has been handpicked by Yorkshire Vintners and contains the award-winning British Brut sparkling wine Nyetimber.

Martin is a veteran of the restaurant trade, having been the manager of The Living Room in York and then going on to become an area manager for The Living Room group. Having had his eye on the building on North Street for 10 years, he explains “it’s a fine place for a friendly new restaurant where customers will get to know us.”

His business partner, Andrew Whitney, was a regular customer at The Living Room and the two men built up a firm friendship which resulted in the vision to create The Whippet Inn as a top quality British eating house with straightforward food cooked to the very highest standards. Many original features of the pub building, which dates back to 1895, have been retained but the modern spin will intrigue customers as they relax in the bar before going into the 50-seater restaurant, or take their seats in a private dining space.

The Whippet Inn is set to open its doors in early March and will serve food and drink seven days a week
