Forest Restaurant serves a daytime menu with classics like fish & chips and a forest-themed afternoon tea with scones and surprises. The evening menu highlights Yorkshire ingredients, including Shambles Market-sourced meat and fish. Located on Low Petergate, this elegant Georgian residence is a short stroll from York Minster and The Shambles, the inspiration for Diagon Alley in Harry Potter.
