22 Yards Wine Bar Menu

22 Yards Wine Bar is an independently owned wine led restaurant at 21 High Petergate in central York. Set opposite York Minster, it pairs views of the cathedral with a cosy, stylish interior that works for an unhurried lunch, an evening meal or drinks accompanied by food.

The kitchen builds its offering around seasonal, local and carefully sourced ingredients. Small plates encourage sharing, while larger dishes give diners the option of a more conventional main course, so a visit can range from a few snacks with wine to a complete dinner.

The changing selection has included seafood, steak, risotto, vegetable dishes and carefully composed desserts, with cheese and other grazing plates providing natural partners for the drinks list. The seasonal approach means the details evolve, but the emphasis remains on thoughtful cooking that can stand alongside the wine rather than merely accompany it.

More than 70 wines are available by the glass, including a specials wall of around a dozen labels that changes daily or weekly. That breadth makes it possible to try different regions and styles without committing to a bottle, while knowledgeable service helps diners match individual glasses to the food or build an informal tasting through the evening.
