About Lysander Arms

Located just on the outskirts of York The Lysander Arms is a freehouse and independently owned pub & restaurant.
We serve fresh locally sourced british food, quality traditional handpulled ales, fine wines and good old Yorkshire hospitality.

Lysander Arms Description

The Lysander Arms is built on what was once the Clifton Aerodrome, where No. 4 Squadron were the main residents. The squadron was equipped with the Lysander aircraft until 1942.
The Lysander's were employed in cooperation with army ground forces to carry out reconnaissance work as well as artillery spotting, they were also to patrol in case of invasion and to drop mustard gas.
Times have changed over the years and the Lysander arms is now a freehouse and independently owned pub & restaurant, serving fresh locally sourced british food, quality traditional handpulled ales, fine wines and good old Yorkshire hospitality.
We are conveniently located just on the outskirts of York, with on-site car parking. We serve meals in our Brasserie Restaurant Tuesday's to Saturday's with both hot and cold lunches served from 12noon to 2pm and Sunday with our mouth watering carvery. Our evening menu is available from 5. 30pm until 9pm, where you can choose from a wide range of delicious starters, main courses and specials.

We have been staying on the caravan site this weekend and it's a great little site. Thirteen pitches all with electric and water. We decided to have tea last night in the Lysander, and I had the chicken burger which was huge and very tasty. The staff were friendly and professional.I will definitely come back again.

Visited on Wednesday 24th January at 6.30 pm.



"Steak offer night" 2 meals for £30 including bottle of wine.

We were warmly greeted and quickly shown to our lovely table for two.Paul asked which of the wines we would prefer and recommended a red Argentinian wine. A good choice very fruity and pleasant.

We ordered our steaks and how we would prefer it cooked,

They were soon delivered piping hot and perfectly cooked served with a portion of crispy fries and a mountain of lightly battered onion rings.

All served with a separate jug of mustard sauce, ideal for deciding how much you prefer on your food.

Pleasant waitresses asked if everything was OK.

Two empty plates and all dishes empty a testament to our enjoyment ,thank you.

The staff were very welcoming and the food was lovely. I cannot wait to come back in the summer and test the beer garden which looked stunning.

Called in for lunch by chance as we were in the area.

Absolutely gorgeous food, the fish and chips were the best I've had in along time. Lovely welcoming place and staff. Would defo recommend.

User

We stayed at the campsite and ate in the restaurant.

The food was delicious and of a high standard. The campsite is small but has all facilities needed.

I think if you are staying at the campsite then maybe a little incentive i.e. 10% off food may be good.

User

Seams a nice pub,had a nice pint. Could’nt test the food as the kitchen was closed Monday and Tuesday in January. Nice clean and tidy small 13 pitch Caravan park. Facilities were immaculate but small with only one toilet and one shower. Will try again in the summer. Very convenient for York.

User

Nice garden & play area for kids, As others say, good steak night

User

We had our food here for the first time it’s a Beautiful place instead and out, the staff were lovely and very polite. The food was ok the veg and the roast potatoes was a bit hard

User

Wont be visiting again. Went at 530 on a thursday, got inside to be told by a bumbling woman behind the bar that i wasnt allowed my pram in a pretty much empty place due to 'health and safety' and when asked what i was supposed to do with my baby she eventually spat it out that i should put her car seat on a chair...which to me is much more of a health and safety risk than having it clipped into the pram. Not sure what she meant by health and safety anyway as she couldnt explain it? Needless to say i left and wont be visiting again! Ridiculous!!
