​

'This has become a York favourite with a laid-back, bohemian feel and imaginative cooking...Decor is vintage – scrubbed tables, mismatched chairs, rusty lamps – and it has few pretensions beyond providing fresh, interesting dishes'

"What are your future plans for Partisan? To create a more manageable and sustainable business with a focus on ethical sourcing. I’d like to see whether it’s possible to create a restaurant which is not just about the food but one that is lovely, calm and unique. We’ll just have to see if that is financially viable" The Yorkshire Post Magazine.
