Are there any self service bars in York or other simple and cheap restaurants? May I know the addresses of them? Thank you Marta Nowicka

Hi. Not many self service restaurants, but there are 3 pizza huts that have all you can eat for about £5 most lunchtimes. Just google Pizza Hut and York for the location. Also Google “Jumbo Chinese” as this is a central and cheap all you can eat Buffet. Hope this helps. Thanks, York Visitors
