Fancy a family meal out in York without breaking the bank? York Restaurant Week is back from 13th to 26th October 2025, and it’s the perfect excuse to enjoy eating out with the kids (or even sneaking in a well-deserved date night – anyone else feeling the middle-of-term exhaustion setting in already?!).

With more than 100 restaurants, cafés, pubs and street food places taking part – and over 225 exclusive offers – there’s something for everyone (no promises, but even the pickiest eater should be happy…). Deals are priced between £5 and £30, making it easy to try somewhere new or revisit a family favourite.

It’s so easy to take part. Just head to www.yorkrestaurantweek.co.uk to browse the offers and download free vouchers. You can claim as many as you like, but it’s a good idea to book ahead – York Restaurant Week is popular! Organised by the York Business Improvement District (York BID), York Restaurant Week has been running since 2019 and has already delivered more than £1.8 million to York’s hospitality businesses. It’s a brilliant way to support local cafés, pubs and restaurants while making some lovely family memories, or enjoying a night off!
