The big Trembling Madness!
For the past 170 years, 14 Lendal has housed the old saddlery & harness maker, Robson & Cooper, and so it’s only fitting that an existing York “institution” takes up the reins of this magnificent Georgian building.
The beautiful restored Craft Beer Mansion has a rich history, and has been associated with many local significant characters, including astronomer Sir John Goodricke, Sir Richard Osbaldeston, aristocrat Michael Barstow; and Sir Thomas Widdrington, the Recorder of York during the reign of King Charles I. After the restoration of Charles II, the house was occupied by Sir Thomas Rokeby, a local judge, until York Lord Mayor Alderman Henry Baynes built two houses on the site in the 18th century. By this time, a grand Georgian townhouse, by the name of Fitzwilliam House, Sir William Wentworth, Baronet of Bretton in the West Riding, lived there with his wife Lady Wentworth until 1742.
After sensitive and thorough restoration of the building was undertaken by the owners York Conservation Trust, we moved in with a shiny bar under each arm, and a vision of a new Madness way! The project was joint winner in the York Restoration Design awards 2018 alongside York Minster and The Mansion House.

FAQ'S
Can we book food?
We welcome both ‘drinks only’ or breakfast, lunch and dinner bookings. For larger groups, we recommend that you pre-order our platters and have ‘Welcome Drinks’ as you arrive. For all other groups, you are welcome to choose from our menu. Due to the nature of the building we cannot offer our regular menu for the basement or the attic rooms, there’s just too many stairs! However we can offer our delicious platters.
Do we need to book?
We always accept walk-ins for smaller or larger groups, however we can take bookings for over 10 guests. There’s no charge for our rooms, at certain times of the year we may require a minimum spend.
Which space will work best for my event?
Please ask the team which room will suit your needs best, they’ll be happy to help. The attic rooms or basement are perfect for a more intimate and private gathering. Whereas the taxidermy or blue room is nearer the bar, so easier to soak up the atmosphere of the building and rest of the bar.
Do you have screens and can we play our own music?
We have screens available in our attic rooms, with HDMI cable and the ability to show your presentations. All our spaces have music, you can play your own playlist via Bluetooth on your phone in the attic rooms and basement.
What is your policy for children and pets?
Children and dogs are always welcome!
First Floor Taxidermy Snug - up to 15 guests
