About us

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.

A country pub oozing rural charm and rustic character, our picturesque surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for savouring the hearty, seasonal pub-food on our menu, and the carefully nurtured cask ales and fine wines gracing our bar.

Whether you are planning dinner with friends or Sunday lunch with family, book a table online and enjoy some quality time with those you love the most.

We arrived early but we were seated immediately. The staff were excellent especially our waiter who was very attentive and had a great way with the children on the next table. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. Overall a very positive experience.

My family and I had a wonderful experience at this venue on boxing day. My son is on the spectrum and the staff went out of their way to make sure we were sat somewhere where he could be himself and feel comfortable. They made him feel very special, the server was especially kind and helped my son pick his favourite flavour of ice cream. The food was delicious and the location was homely, warm and the perfect place to spend a Christmas celebration. A big shout out to our server- such a kind and funny chap. Thank you for making our day :)

We ate here twice in three days as we were staying at the Premier Inn next door. We were served by Karen and Mariusz, both of whom were friendly, polite and attentive. Good Customer service right there. It was a lovely place with plenty of room inside - not tables all crammed together to get as many in as possible as you see in some places. All the food we had was of good quality and great taste but the picks have to be the duo of lamb, the pie of the day and honeypot dessert. The lamb rump was juicy, tender and succulent while the shepherds pie was rich and full of flavour. The pie was steak and red wine and the steak melted in your mouth. The honeypot dessert was quite exquisite- a little chocolate honey pot filled with mousse and honeycomb. If we lived in York, this would certainly become one of our regulars.

Came here one evening whilst staying at the nearby Premier Inn. Thoroughly recommended, very cosy place with a lovely open fire inside the restaurant area. Would certainly recommend booking earlier in the day as it does get very busy and tends to be fully booked if left too late. The food was lovely, priced around what you'd expect nowadays given the style of the place. Drinks were reasonable too, and with a good choice of Non-alcoholic/alcohol free options which made a nice change. Part of Vintage Inns, so would recommend picking up their app to get a hold of some discounts and loyalty offers too, as we easily saved £20 on the bill.
