Pearly Cow

DIsCOVER THE PEARLY COW YORK menus

Every day is a good day at Pearly Cow, York and every meal is just as good.

Breakfast can be light or hearty, sweet or savoury, cooked or continental, but is always much-better-than-your-usual.

Lunch and dinner celebrate standout, seasonal ingredients that hail from the dales and surrounding coastline, brought to life in classics, interpretations, sharing dishes and desserts. For the little ones, our Pearly Calves menu is just as special.

The Teas and Seas at Pearly Cow? Afternoon Tea is actually Afternoon Sea – a very fresh, seafood-centric take on the timeless treat, paired with bottomless rosé.

On Sundays, our iconic Pearly Cow roasts, traditional with modern touches, come with all the trimmings of course, and bring a beautiful close to the week.
