Our beautiful gardens with breath-taking views of the City Walls and York Minster are unrivalled in York. They have been cared for and curated by our Head Gardener, Julie Fern, between 2009 and 2025 before passing on the baton to Natalie Smith, who has taken over the role with great skill and enthusiasm. The space is a peaceful oasis in the centre of the city where our guests can enjoy lunch or sip a glass of wine.

Creating a bio-diverse environment to provide a sanctuary for birds and pollinators was the ethos behind our garden design. From trees and shrubs to flowers and fruits, each and every plant within our garden has been purposefully selected to attract wildlife throughout the seasons.

PLANTING
Our gardens feature a wide and exciting range of both decorative and edible planting. In consultation with our chefs, our Head Gardener has spent the past few years developing the kitchen garden. We provide a wide range of fruit, vegetables and herbs in our gardens, all of which are grown using organic methods. These are the source and inspiration for many elements on our tasting menu.

GARDEN
The 300m stretch of City Walls which bounds Grays Court was donated to the city in 1878 by Edwin Gray, The Lord Mayor of York at the time. This makes Grays Court the only building to retain private access to York’s City walls.
