House Of The Trembling Madness 48 Stonegate, York YO1 8AS

"What a brilliant place, beer and spirit shop downstairs and restaurant upstairs. Beers all reasonable prices with locals and tourists purchasing whilst I was there. Nice to see so many local brands represented. The restaurant and bar is upstairs, lots of beers on tap and in the fridge. Or you can buy in the shop then take upstairs to drink, so the choice is massive. Liked that there was various price points for all budgets. Loved the medieval character of the restaurant upstairs and was greeted by two super friendly staff who were really welcoming. Amazed at the amount of food produced out of the small kitchen. Well there are cheese boards and Trembling madness ones. Looked beautiful and so much food, made with all different cheeses that were gorgeous. Grapes, fresh bread, lots of accompaniments that all paired with the cheeses lovely. The pies also looked great which the people opposite were having. They do breakfast from 10.30, then after 12 Various platters, pies, sausages, burgers plus smaller dishes and bar snacks. If you want to go somewhere with great food, generous portions, wide selection of beers and a great atmosphere, then I would highly recommend."

"What a hidden gem of a pub, shop and place... My only regret is not being able to stay longer and try the food, which look and smelt amazing. The selection of real ales and larger was great, and i cant praise the staff high enough, these people obviously love the job, are very passionate to providing a great service and experience. The decor and atmosphere is quirky, surreal and practical, there has obviously been a loot of work to make the place look this amazing and humble. All in great place to visit, enjoy and im looking forward to coming back. 10/10"

"This is a bit of Hike up flights of stairs but worth the effort. Its not a massive room and can get quite busy. Ales to choose from on a board which is constantly updated. Plenty to look at on the walls, great staff who were very patient. We did not eat here but the food coming out looked excellent. As far as we could see it was being preped behind the bar in the smallest 'kitchen' area I have ever seen. But it was all done without fuss. Its got to be worth a visit by everyone - Just give it a go, take it all in and leave trembling"

"Great pub above a shop with biggest variety of beer I've ever seen. We didn't eat here, but wished we had as the food looked great. Beer selection brilliant and well kept. Full of character. We will definitely be back."

"Lovely but small pub upstairs, set in a lovely old building. Most people seem to only stop off for a swift half so tables become available quite readily. And with a mind blowingly excellent shop downstairs!"
