Another treasure for Bishopthorpe Rd., which is starting to get quite the collection!…read more What helps set this place apart from your average fish and chips place is the dining area in the back... while not large, it's charming and cheap as, well... chips, so it's a great place to pop in if you're looking for a quick meal in the area without breaking the bank. They even do a perfectly portioned, i.e. not tiny, 300 calorie option that is more than enough for me... especially if I've squeezed in a starter! Aside from the usual suspects they have some wonderful calamari, not to be missed if they have them when you're in, and a dessert counter with some goodies. In the end this is a fish and chips place though, so be in the mood for that if your'e popping in. On that front, I won't say they're the best I've ever had sadly, so I wouldn't drive through the city to get them, but they are very good and I've happily been here quite a few times. Ther service in the back is always friendly, but you may have to be a bit patient... given the relatively small size of the place there's not alway a server in there with you, but it's never really caused a problem... just something to be aware of. They also serve beer and cider in the back when you dine in, and I imagine a wine of some variety as well. The front is a standard fish and chip shop, but still a cut above in the theme and cleanliness so it's also worth stopping by for that if you're in the mood and it's en-route to you destination.

Being a foodie from New York City, I was sure to try certain things while visiting a friend in…read more(old) York. Fish and chips was, of course, one of them. My friend said we should get fish and chips from The Fisherman's Wife for good, down-home, classic deliciousness. I'm so glad she did! Of course, we ate it New York City style and ordered them to our door. Which apparently folks out there don't do and my friend was embarrassed to know me but whatevs--people order delivery for everything in NYC from prescriptions to milk to laundry. And it was raining, so being in pajamas made the experience all the more fantastic. We got both the cod and the halibut. I preferred the halibut and my friend preferred the cod, so it worked out perfectly. The fries were interesting--a bit soggy for my taste but I suppose that's par for the course for this dish. If you're looking for a place to grab fish and chips (or if you're fat and lazy like I am and want them delivered to your door to the dismay of your local friend who ended up loving it because let's get real--who doesn't like delivery?), I highly recommend this place.

This was our first visit to York and the Shambles. Kind of stumbled onto Gert and Henry's. It was…read moreafter lunch, but we decided some dessert and coffee would just hit the spot. Ordered two lattes and an order of sticky toffee pudding with custard. Pure heaven on a plate! Nicely warm, with an excellent toffee sauce and a marvelous custard drizzled over everything. The lattes were also superb, without bitterness. The two doughnuts we saved and ate for a snack later that evening. They traveled well in the backpack and were great with a bit of tea. We will be coming back to York soon to stayfor a while, and plan to make Gert and Henry's a regular haunt. Oh, and the proprietors are very welcoming and friendly and happy to help you make a selection.

I came during the holidays and had their Sunday roast special (kind of like a Thanksgiving meal)…read moreand it totally hit the spot. The beef wasn't too dry or tough and with the gravy it was very satisfying. I had missed Yorkshire puddings sooo much and it was comforting to have them again. The potatoes were seasoned well and the carrots were plenty soft, as you'd expect from all that steaming. We had some other veggie dishes that I don't really remember now, since my main focus was the meat, gravy, and pudding (not to be mistaken with pudding the dessert). See the pics I uploaded for Yorkshire puddings, those bowl-shaped bread things. What are they exactly? I'm not sure, but I'm satisfied with classifying them as pure delight.
