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

[@philipmckeon8944]

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. 👍

[@GaryEats]

Most of the time, I like to keep the price into consideration as it's part of the meal. Thanks Philip, really kind and appreciative of you.

[@garyblack2389]

Many people are on a budget now, a lot are even eating £1 iceland basic ready made meals sadly. Really they need to learn how to cook and make several meals for the freezer.

[@lindsayjohnston7465]

Everyone deserves to treat themselves once in a while

[@tonyphotiou1742]

The star rating you are supposed to give when reviewing needs to take into consideration all aspects of the meal. Price being one of them, product itself, service, value for money etc. Sometimes when I see 1 star reviews, that annoys me because that assumes everything was bad. Generally, those reviewers have had a bad opinion on service for example, and gave an overall rating of 1. The meal may have been good, price OK, but because for whatever reason they got bad service, they trashed the whole score. So yes, price needs to be taken into consideration as far as the overall review

[@shirleyadamscorbett5724]

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.

That’s absolutely fantastic to hear Shirley lovely x

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 !

Hi Robert. Yes, the pie looked brilliant. Probably one of the nicest looking meals I've had in a long time! Appreciate that, have a good one my frined!

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.

[@mrn13]

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...

[@GaryEats]

That's fair enough. It's hard to judge but I would say for the price, it was a little bit much but the ingredients were excellent!

[@sneer0101]

Not sure if you're going off American prices or something, but between 10-15 quid you'd still expect decent quality

[@johnavast5939]

@mrn13 great response! I love your comment about "prefab ingredients" I am going to use that now :) lol It is so true- I don't mind paying for real food and food made right then with real ingredients- not frozen or bagged, etc. Good call :)

[@manoo422]

If you think you can cook a pie like this from scratch in less than 30 min you are dreaming. Of course they are 'prefabricated', probably part cooked and finished to order.

me too the pie had enough gravy on its own veg. to please no pease though 😂no mushrooms either

[@stephaniewhite9526]

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.

[@GaryEats]

Hi Stephanie. Completely agree with you - I really enjoyed the theme behind the inn as well. Lovely little place and thank you so much.

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!

[@GaryEats]

That’s so good to hear Martin 👌

[@kevredman5808]

I've eaten there and agree with the mark. The pie is 10, but the price is heavy, no matter how nice, home made and fresh, it's still a 20 quid pie.

Thank you very much

[@TelThePower]

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 👍

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!

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.

Gary, I agree with your comments, that was one big pie and tasty with it, but the price was a bit over the top and the portion of mash was quite small. As others have mentioned below a better balance could be achieved between the two. York is an expensive area to eat in having been there myself and it's good to see that no service charge was added. As for your marking, I felt it was slightly harsh and I would have given an 8.5 out of 10. The overall price including the beer was quite decent though. Having a lager with that meal instead of a beer in London could have easily added anywhere between £7 to £10 just for the lager alone to the bill. Great review though and I wasn't aware of this place until I saw your review, great work and keep them coming.

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.

Thank you very much. I’ve tried to love mushrooms but I can’t. Unfortunately, the Whippet was very busy when we went in so couldn’t do a review unfortunately!

For the preparation of the pie I would happily pay the 20 sovs. I was pleased to see it didn't fall apart all over the place when the knife was taken to it, so well prepared and cooked was the pastry. I'm sure the meal would have filled most people up so the just enough helping of mashed potato wasn't for me an issue. A really nice meal, that... and reasonably priced ale too. Well done.

Thank you Stagger. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, maybe another to add to your list after Bombay Delight? Cheers mate!

[@Staggercfc]

@@GaryEats Well, if ever I'm in York I will hunt down that pie, Gary, even if I get lost trying! Thanks again!

[@GaryEats]

No problem. Hope you're well.

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.

[@GaryEats]

Hi Chris. Thanks mate. I was deliberating between 8 and 8.5 but I think the lack of mash made go towards an 8 more but it’s very close. Thanks as always for watching mate!

[@mehitabel6564]

Yes, I think that was a fair rating. We've stayed at The Guy Fawkes several times and enjoyed their breakfasts too. And we liked the pie. Have you tried Piecaramba! in Winchester? A tiny place doing awesome pies At £13.50 including sides and gravy or liquor. Well worth it.

[@GaryYork-tk2ow]

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. 👍

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Gary. I love York, I think it's a beautiful city. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@plbingham]

in York a lot,.. another for us to try,. pie looks superb

[@GaryEats]

This is definitely worth a visit for the pie, what I like is it’s cooked to order

[@glennandrews7411]

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

[@GaryEats]

Agreed Glenn!

[@nickycotton6137]

LoL. Let alone 'The Fine Young Cannibals' 😊

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

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

[@GaryEats]

It was an excellent pie 🥧

[@pippin1ful]

I'm about to order some of them. My local French supermarket has stopped doing them. They used to have a good English section, but now rubbish. Their buyer hasn't a clue.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

@@pippin1fulSince Brexit our UK sections have all but disappeared. There’s stuff I’ve never heard of. Products I still thanks to some really kind shop managers include Marmite and proper cheddar cheese. I immigrated in 2008, or rather stayed after a year’s sabbatical. I do miss stuff, most of it in the food department. But my French girlfriend and I make a steak and ale pie. Also in autumn a chicken and freshly picked forest mushroom pie. For the mushrooms you have to know your stuff (I was a survival expert in the army specialising in fungi). I know Gary doesn’t like mushrooms 😊. Good luck finding Fray Bentos. One of my all time favourite foods.

[@davidhughes4489]

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

[@GaryEats]

Thanks, you too!

[@keithskelton2287]

Nice looking pie I like pies House of pies my choice is the chicken & asparagus My favourite in my home is in the Crick Club in Colombo Sri Lanka The drovers pie is lamb filling much like your berf pie but a bit cheaper Even me as a Yorkshireman who likes pies I think the good full meal was a decent price Up there in your top ten for me End result you lokked happy & well fed If I get to York again I will try it Thanks Great review 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Very very nice Keith!!

[@rolffigueiredo3786]

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. ❤

[@GaryEats]

Hello there. Yep, completely understand your point and I have no complaints about the pie. It was excellent! Thank you and you too!

[@davidwilliams8493]

Wow that pie looked absolutely amazing. As for the score, the pie did look like the top drawer, but I do agree with you if you marked it down for being a tad too expensive even for York.

[@GaryEats]

Thanks David.

[@johnreynolds6369]

Gary always starts by shaking his head if he’s about to praise his nosh 😀

[@GaryEats]

Sorry John

[@johnreynolds6369]

@@GaryEats LOL no need to apologise. It all adds to the fun. Great video by the way. That pie looked incredible.

[@AndrewofWare]

I was a student in York from 1974 to 1978 and the place then was called 'Young's Hotel'. It is a bit of a tourist trap (not the only one in York) as Guy Fawkes was not born there. Recent research has shown he was born down nearby Stonegate, where numbers 32-34 are now. The pub is immediately opposite St. Michael-le-Belfrey church where he was baptised (and where I went to).

[@GaryEats]

Thank you very much for the information, Andrew, as you can see they do advertise the fact that he was born there

[@TheBigp767]

Was there few months ago...very nice ..recommended

[@GaryEats]

That is fantastic to hear

[@paulc7535]

Pie Fawkes. Love the reviews.

[@GaryEats]

I'm annoyed with myself I didn't say that haha. Really appreciate that my friend!

[@liberty_and_justice67]

Looked delicious, particularly with the bitter👍

[@GaryEats]

So good. The pie was one of the best. Thanks for watching!

[@markjones327]

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

[@GaryEats]

Thanks Mark 👍

[@susandavis4821]

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.

[@Yaketyyak21]

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

[@GaryEats]

Haha, I'm sorry my friend!

[@paulwilliams5174]

Given the size of the pie, the mash would have suited me fine.York is an expensive town and a lovely place to visit.In the north we don't expect to pay a service charge, unlike the south where it is expected.Your meal was about right for the city and normal value for the part of in which you were dining.Thank you for the review,I will certainly visit there.

[@GaryEats]

Good to know! I hope you have a great time 😊

[@mikekaraoke]

Another enjoyable review Gaz, been here many times over the years-never had an under average meal here! Did you do any sightseeing/go to any places like the-Jorvik Viking Centre, York Castle Museum, Clifford's Tower, know you mentioned about York Minster nt being far but did you walk around there??? When did your hatred of mushrooms start?? lol 🍄
