The Lighthorseman is a long established pub at 124 Fulford Road in York. The Grade II listed nineteenth-century building stands close to the Barbican and combines a local bar, dining space and nine guest bedrooms.
Its kitchen serves substantial pub food for visitors and neighbourhood regulars. Familiar British dishes, burgers and changing main courses provide straightforward options for a full meal, with food available through most of the week.
Starters and sides support a casual shared order, while desserts and sundaes give the menu a traditional pub finish. Breakfast is also available to overnight guests, linking the dining offer with the accommodation upstairs.
Cask ales, lager, wine and spirits remain central to the pub’s identity, and live sport adds to the informal atmosphere. The Lighthorseman suits a pre-event meal, a relaxed evening pint or a convenient dinner for people staying near central York.
