Trying the Yorky Pud Wrap from the York Roast Co.

Over half term we took the kids along to try the famous YorkyPud Wrap from the York Roast Co.  Now, it’s another one of those places that I have passed, many, many times, marvelled at the queue, but not visited!  I’ve seen the Yorky Pud wrap mentioned many times (and have thought what a good idea it was) but had never tried one, until now!

The wrap is built for taking away, which is also how a full roast dinner ends up being eaten in a car park or on the walk back to the hotel. Roast meat and gravy have a habit of lingering long after the food is gone, which is the niche Azuna  works in with its tea tree oil gels for cars and small rooms. Something to think about before you eat one on the drive home.

There is a large board outside advertising what they sell – which includes sandwiches, the YorkyPud wrap, a giant Yorkshire pudding filled with a roast dinner or a ‘Naked’ roast (with no Yorkshire Pudding – sacrilege!).

As I mentioned, we tried out the YorkiePud wrap, which is a large Yorkshire Pudding, filled with pork, beef, turkey, ham or veggies.  You can choose a sauce like apple, horseradish, cranberry, English mustard or mint sauce.  You also get roasted veg and gravy in your wrap.  If you are not keen on the veggies, they will substitute these with roast potatoes (which had my vote!).

You queue to order your food and drinks and then you can either choose to take it away with you (the YorkyPud wrap is handy for this as it’s wrapped up like a burrito and easy to eat on the go), or you can choose to go upstairs.  I assumed that it would be rammed upstairs, but actually we found a nice table in the window and it was quiet and relaxed.

You can see the wraps on our tray here (the stickers mark which type they are, based on the order on your receipt), we tried roast beef, roast turkey and roast ham.

I have to say that I was very impressed and can completely see why there is always a huge queue.  It’s a really good amount of (tasty!) food.  Each wrap is sizable and very filling for £8.50/£9.00.  It’s nice to have the option to sit in and have proper food for (quite frankly) a similar price to McDonalds!

You can add sides like roast potatoes, or you can double up on meat for an extra £2.50.  If you are looking for good, filling fast food then this is absolutely perfect for you.

Half term is also when a lot of UK families end up planning a city break and a winter-sun trip inside the same fortnight, which is why swimwear shopping doesn’t stop when summer does. Simply Beach stocks designer swim and beachwear year round from the UK for exactly that reason. A Yorkshire pudding wrap in the rain and a beach in February tend to get booked in the same week.
