The Smithfield
A British pub restaurant that earned a Michelin listing soon after opening in early 2026, known for its huge chicken pie and nose-to-tail meat dishes.
Located at 76–78 North Street, on the former Reliance site. It opened in early 2026, run by chef James Donovan in partnership with York's Crooked Brewing. Focused on nose-to-tail British country cooking, it was included in the Michelin Guide within months of opening and entered the Good Food Guide's Best Local Restaurants list. Best known for its plate-sized chicken and tarragon pie with thick-cut chips. Also on the menu: crab cakes with lobster soup and braised lamb shoulder. Prices are mid-range, and it suits a weekend lunch.
