About Us
Michelin-starred dining...
Michelin-started dining in the heart of historic York, curated by chef Tommy Banks to combine innovative cooking techniques with one-of-a-kind ingredients and exceptional service. Under the direction of head chef Will Lockwood (Great British Menu North East and Yorkshire Winner 2023), enjoy a gastronomic tasting menu experience at Roots York inspired by the heritage of the Banks families farming and growing roots in Oldstead in a modern, laid-back, city centre dining room.
Our Tasting Menus
Our focus is on unique processes, using exceptionally high-end ingredients to create modern dishes that nod to our traditional Yorkshire roots. We offer 2 menus; The Core Menu and The Signature Menu which showcase the signature Roots dishes made using core processes that we have meticulously developed to preserve produce harvested from our farm and garden in Oldstead for months or even years.
NEW Sunday Feast Menu
We are extremely excited to announce the return of the Sunday Feast Menu at Roots York.
From Sunday 15th September Roots will be open on Sundays, serving a set 3-course Sunday Feast Menu at £55 per person featuring succulent meat as well as a delicious non-meat option too.
