The Story
Shambles Kitchen is an independent street-food spot on York’s iconic Shambles, known for slow-smoked Yorkshire meats, bold flavours, and freshly made shawarma. Every sandwich is inspired by legendary local figures, prepared with artisan bread, homemade sauces, and ingredients smoked behind the shop.
With extra seating now available inside St Crux Church, customers can enjoy delicious food in one of York’s most historic spaces, supported by the wonderful York BID community.
