Trying the FAMOUS STEAK PIE at GUY FAWKES birthplace in YORK! 

I’m delighted you took the price into consideration even though the meal was delicious. Some people who don’t know what it’s like to have to live on a budget simply don’t understand. That’s ok. You can’t keep everyone happy but you sure try and do a great job. Thanks for this one. 👍

That pie as a treat and it looked a treat I'd say a 9 out of 10 as you were completely blown away after all

My new favourite channel!

Thanks for the video Gary pie looked really nice I love watching your videos

You know it's good when you start to nod your head involuntarily.

Glad this Chanel is growing. Great review and camera work.

I can say that when I visit England/UK this is exactly what I want to eat! Regarding the price, if its all made from scratch and served in a "historical" place below 20£ is quite acceptable. If it was priced under 15, I would expect prefabricated ingredients...

Pie looked amazing, pastry looked class and choka full of meat but slightly stingy on the mash. Love your diversity in choice of meals, always trying something different and lots of different locations. Excellent, interesting videos, keep up the outstanding work. As always after watching one of your vids... hungry again now 😂👍

Evening Gary 👍that was one hell of a pie. The amount of mash probably wouldn't be an issue if it had come with a bit of veg. Looked super tasty and yes maybe £15 is nearer the mark. Nice one✌️🍻

Oh my word Gary that pie looked amazingly good ! Granted there wasn't a lot of mash & the price was a little high for what I would pay but as you said, it's a tourist haven and the uniqueness of it being Guy Fawkes' birth place does "allow" them to price accordingly. My wife & love York and have been there numerous times on our 2018 & 2023 UK holidays. So much history and glorious architecture to view ! Enjoy your time away from London in "God's Country" & I look forward to your next video. Take care !

Another great review. I really like hearing about the history of the places you visit and York is steeped in history. Nice looking pie, good pastry and very hearty

Great channel Gary - I love how you take everything into account - presentation, flavour, value for money, ambience etc. That pie looks amazing 😋😋😋

Can’t beat a good pie Gary! 👍🏻🇦🇺👍🏻

Whenever we are over in the UK on vacation from Canada, we always spend a day in York, and this is our place to go to for lunch. My wife and I always have the fish butty and have never been disappointed. After seeing this review if I am back there again, it will be the steak pie for me. I love everything about this pub, the atmosphere, the beer and the food. Also considering its location I don't think the prices are too bad.

Heritage and themed menu .this place is fantastic. And The out side street is stunning ,like a story book. Food is wonderful ,the home made meals are wonderful. 10 🇦🇺😊

Wow, What a Pie! However unfortunately they were tight for the price... Some green beans, couple of pieces of broccoli and Cauliflower, oh & another scoop of mash! Then I'd say it would have been a 10 all day long... I thought your score & price analysis of £15 was spot on Gary for what you got mate... Great review, looking forward to more! Oh & i watched the Imperial arms Sunday roast vlog you done, that was definitely a 10 👍

It looks fantastic!

I must say, that pie looked incredible, definitely need some veg along with it especially for that price. York is bloody expensive though.

Looks fantastic Gary, bet you love what you do trying these dishes created by these fantastic chefs!

LOOKED AMAZING. iM STAYING THERE IN 3 WEEKS..AND HAVE STAYED A FEW TIMES BUT NEVER HAD THE PIE. tHINK i WILL DEFINATELY TRY IT THIS TIME XX

That must be one of the finest looking pies I have ever seen!

The pie seemed amazing. I could probably even overcome my own mushroom phobia with this too. But I completely agree with the price aspect. No pie is worth £20 in a pub and the portion of mash was really small. My grading (from look alone) would be a massive 10 for the pie but overall 7-8. I so enjoyed the review and its the only time I have seen a menu where all the food is Guy Fawkes which was a You Tube first. Thank you once again Gary for another amazing review.

Epic Pie! Well described!

That plate of food looked absolutely amazing! and what's not to love about being in York!! one of my favorite UK cities!

When there's that much filling in a pie, the whole experience almost becomes a casserole. Needed a green vegetable but nearly perfect. ❤

That’s a really good review. The pie looks first class. I personally like mushrooms. It’s an acceptable price for the location. If Tom Kerridge or Gordon Ramsay or another TV chef baked that you would be paying £40 plus.

Inspired by your video Gary so my wife and I went to the Guy Fawkes when we were in York last week. She had the steak pie and I had the vegan one and they were both superb - loved them! What a meal. As you say, outrageously good, the flavour was so good! And good beer too! Thanks for the review!

Hi Gary, Firstly welcome to Yorkshire, a great clip as always to which you hit the nail right on the head re prices, York is a VERY popular tourist area and the businesses know that, thus they charge accordingly, on saying that and in there defence the rates in York for businesses are very expensive. The pie itself was amazing and the fact it was cooked to order even more so, i must admit given its size, the potato amount i would of been happy with. Re your score, i think 8.5, but you were there i was not. Chris.

My adoptive father is from York. He eats steak pie regularly, made at least weekly by his cook. The steak pie in this video looks just like it.

These days I wish Mr. Fawkes had been successful.

Love a good pie and that looks top tier. The gravy and the steak look lovely, rich and tender. I know you normally have a coke but good to see you sample the local beers (I myself am a cider drinker) but to each his own. Another great review - "Cheers!"

That Pie has just concluded my deciding of the next place for a short weekend break very soon. All the best to you.

Good video Gary again 👍.Pie looked delicious but l would have expected more mash and some veggies to accompany it,also a bit pricey for a pie in my opinion.

Never been, but after seeing this, I have to try it, mate! But I think I will have to ask for extra mash and have a stronger beer. Fantastic to see you up in York and looking forward to more reviews from Yorkshire! Fabulous review as always, Gary and enjoy the stay in Yorkshire. 😀 BTW I would expect to pay that in York and Whitby, but not in Leeds for instance..

.......that pie looked incredible. The price reflected the venue in this case. I'm a sucker for historical pubs. 😎🌟

Looks absolutely amazing fair play Gary great content and subscribed.

Love the shirt very sharp 😸

Wow, that pie was to die for! As I've said before I don't have a big appetite and I would have found the pie a little too large for me. Personally I would have preferred a smaller pie and more mash to create a more balanced plate of food, (with a price reduction to align with this). Regarding price, I've always found central York to be on the high side as it is a prime tourist area and vendors know they can squeeze out that little bit more from people's wallets. Another great review though!

Afternoon Gary another great vlog, love your vlogs. Pie looked nice but too much gravy for my liking. and it looks hot too. I make a mean meat pie and enjoy a pie. Bit pricey for a pie! however in tourist area bound to be pricey. Thank you Gary.

That pie looked lovely and I loved the cure in the background!

Looked like there was a lot of eating in that pie and beautifully presented too👍

Looked delicious, the pastry almost looked like a hot water crust like you’d get on a pork pie, once again I’d maybe like a side of veg, but that pie was certainly packed with ingredients. Enjoy York and look forward to more of your epicurean foodie adventures

The pie and mash looks delicious 😊

What a great venue full of history and to top it off a simple steak pie and mash. Love good pies. And yes lots of establishments scrimp on a few extra chips , mash and potatoes.. I know times are tight but the cost of a bit more mash is only pennies

I remember staggering out of York District Hospital in a daze after my wife had given birth to my son and straight into this pub for a pint and a whisky! Always a fondness for the place but it’s a bit of a tourist trap so generally avoid it unfortunately. Can’t deny pie looked great though!

Guy Fawkes had the right idea looking at all politicians these days! Superb video again. £19.95 for that isnt bad the pie was chock full of meat

Now that's a pie! Looked delicious.

That's a good looking pie and yet again Gary another honest review love your videos

Evening Gary,another pub/ restaurant crammed with history and character. That pie looked amazingly tasty 😊 Very small portion of mashed potatoes 😢I found the " garnish " a very strange mixture 😮. A vegetable would have been nice😊.I'm not a political person,and the fact they(?) failed to blow up Parliament, as my teachers said " must try harder "Before the price, another son of York Dick Turpin ( a real highwayman)by the way hung as a horse thief,and not as a highwayman, using his mums maiden name😢I digress. For a pie 🥧 however good,still top heavy 😢 A good first stop on our journey. Again CTP should have been out & about on the Knavesmire getting the local flavours, well he can't get it on expenses 😢To the gallows, and the next stop 🛑 😊❤Allan&Family

The pie looked amazing gary,i think you are spot on with your score,if it had a more hearty serving of mash and maybe some green beans it would have made for a really decent meal

Pie looked delicious but expensive…. Great video again thank you Gary 💕

Glad you took up my recommendation to try it

What a brilliant find not forgetting what a beautiful looking Pie 👌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Got to factor in- location,style of restaurant,ingredients used and the time taken to create a quality,homemade dish as well as skill level. It was a pie not lacking,portioned perfectly- I would imagine if you had more on the plate you would be unable to move,so the chef has shown skill experience and mindfulness in his plate.

The pie looks spot and it didn't come with chips but mash. Mash could have been a larger portion and a bit creamier but still preferable in my opinion to chips. Don't think cost was all that bad when you consider it's in a tourist City and you weren't forced to stump up a predetermined service charge. I think £20 for such a quality pie this acceptable considering what I've just said. Score 9.5/10.

Looked a great pie Gary certainly made with love , not sure I’d pay £19 Tho bit steep , great vid mate 👍

This was a joy. The Steak pie was amazing and so filling. It was huge. We wished we hadn't had a starter as we couldn't finish the pie itself. We would definitely go again. We would give it a 10.

£19.50 for a "fresh home made" pie & mash, isn't expensive if you enjoyed it. Who pays the staff, the rates, the electricity, gas and water bills, the decorations. Pubs don't make any money on beer and drinks because nobody can afford it, they have to make money on the food. If you want a cheap pie go to Gregg's eat their rubbish.

Looks absolutely delicious Gary. Speaking as a massive fan of the Fray Bentos tinned pies.

That pie looked epic! Could have had an extra portion of mash. Just discovered your channel. Keep it up! Good work 👍

I don't eat meat, but I would absolutely go to this place based on the review. I'm sure they're bound to have some great veggie options too. Thanks as always Gary!

That’s a fantastic looking pie !

Evening Gary , what a delicious looking pie . Two things, you mentioned the Royal Standard in Beaconsfield . The sausages which you had were probably made from organic pork , the mash might have been made from freshly baked potatoes, and the onions probably gently cooked in the butter for around 50-60 minutes to properly bring out their flavour. Right so today you’re in York in the aptly named Guy Fawkes public house trying out their steak pie. My guess , to get meat cooked very tender it takes a very long time. Taking into account where the Chef is putting his skill , sourcing, adding, tasting is in itself a true accolade .. In both places of very similar quality and surroundings . I would easily have paid the money and a Mr. Andrew Baker has pipped me to the real point. Love your show. Good luck and God bless. ❤

Your reviews are excellent. I also rated it all an 8, based on your review. Blessings from Texas,USA. 👍😊❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wow my mouth is watering will av to go there cheers pal ❤

Glad you enjoyed it . I love that pub but there are also many more in York that are fantastic with lots of history . Everytime l go to York l head straight to Kalpakavadi at Fossgate my favourite genuine indian restaurant in the UK... and fish and chips at Drakes.

I've passed by the Guy Fawkes but have never gone in to eat. The pie looked great, although I would have liked a bigger helping of mash, as well as peas. Just a short walk from there is the Royal Oak. They also do a great steak pie, along with mash and peas. Great video. 👍

Best looking pie I've ever seen, great video bro 🤛🏻

Cant beat pie n mash, looked yummy,the pie was huge,i think for a treat i would pay that for the quality plus a good portion too🎉 ty for staring 🎉

Omg. That pastry. What a pie of legends.

You pricing is spot on . 1595 . Perfect ! You, that eat all over the place, knows how to compare and analyse. You are discerning about value and cooking skills . Most people might eat out once a month and dont compare the apples to the pears . We trust your judgement implicitly. You are fair and sometimes very overly generous , as the restaurants are struggling to make a living . Survival of the fittest . I ,like many others , honed my cooking skills , and prefer my own food now .

That looks delicious. I'm getting indigestion looking at it, but still. It looks delicious 🤤🤤🤤🤤

Hey Gary, great vlog once again. Totally understand your marking -1 for mash paltry portion and -1 for no veg accompaniment. Pie looked lovely but the rest a little disapointing, keep up the good work, really enjoyable to watch and always consistent unlike so many others on you tube 👍

That pie looks amazing .

That looks good. Will have to give that a try next time I'm in York.

Pie looked great and the meat looked tender and the gravy in and around it looked real tasty. Nicely presented Yorkshire do fabulous pies this was one of those. I would have liked one more serving of mash to soak up that lovely gravy. Price wise - well it is York and near the cathedral so tourist land really so hence the price. I think i would give it 9 really because the pie crust was really good and filled to the brim with meat. Good one Gary -Yorkshire’s finest -you are in for treats there.👍

Looked delicious, particularly with the bitter👍

York is a brilliant city, I went there last April for a long weekend and loved it.

I don't mind paying within reason and to be fair that looked worth the money. Another perfectly presented and timed review.

Gary that looks awesome !! top review

At that price i think i would have expected some vegetables on the plate. I do love a pie and would ddefinitely try it if i go to York. Thanks for another great review.

Looks awesome!! I watched another piece review of yours and this food is way better.

Well Gary, seeing as how you've come up to my neck of the woods, God's own county, I thought it would be a good time to say how much I am enjoying your culinary adventures. Not far off London prices though. Too rich for my gravy. Yorkshireman born and bred, strong in arm and thick in head. Ha ha ha! keep up the good work.

As a York resident and also a former B&B landlady, I would never have recommended that place to any of my guests despite your comments. There is only one place to really appreciate good food in York, and I know you like steaks - so if you come back to York, try out The Whippet Inn on North Street. However, their steaks match their prices - highish and not budget. I do not think they do lunchtimes though, so it would have to be an evening. Hahaha - you need to learn to love mushrooms, Gary. You do not know what you are missing. And York folk don't like extra service charges even tho that bar is only frequented by tourists, not residents. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your reviews. * And no I am not a bot, I am a genuine human being living in Huntington a part of York.

Brilliant review as always !... here's to the of 5th November !

Pie Fawkes. Love the reviews.

Mouthwatering pie 🤤 I need a trip to York

I go in this pub regularly for a a pint or two after work meetings, never eaten there though. I will give it a try. Great Review.

That bitter looked nice. I like weak beer and then drink more of it.😁 I would have liked some nice lightly buttered cabbage with it. Crusty bread and butter for the gravy. The pie looked absolutely superb. Packed with steak. And an excellent crust. I think £20 is over the top for the pie. I agree with your estimate . Due to the price I am taking off 1 point and 1 for the small portion of mash. Brilliant review as always.

That pie looks heavenly. I need to get down to York! 🥧 🤤 Or rather go up to York!

Great review and you got it bang on about the cost.

Without vegetables that does not qualify as a good plate of food. Great channel, many thanks to you.

Wish I had one of them now, love it

Looks bloody delicious

That looked well nice. Gonner have to get this. Also had lovely pie in old white swan

10:17 Gary, I do like your reviews. And, I'm glad you're rethinking your scoring system. Which to me is slightly out - a little too generous. Me thinks paying customers like you and I often deserve better..

That looks lovely! Great review as always! I am going to have to meat pie from marks and Spencer’s tonight 😮

Thomsons fish and chips, onion rings, bits. The best in the world. Malton road, Hazelbush, York. YO3TW Great show tonight

Totally agree Gary. The mark should reflect not just the taste but price and value for money. Not harsh at all.

Hi Gary,I’m putting on weight since I started watching you eat all those lovely meals.🤗

It looks fantastic,beef that melts omg ,was waiting for you to avoid the mushrooms 🤣 but could do with more carrots etc, but enjoy 😁
