10 Years of Pairings - The People

⭐️Ten years ago, after Kelly and Kate undertook a full refurbishment of 28 Castlegate themselves, Pairings opened its doors with a simple idea: good wine, good food, and good people.

🥳What we didn’t know then was just how many friendships would be formed, celebrations shared, first dates hosted, engagements toasted, and ordinary Tuesdays turned into something special.

To our guests, our suppliers, our neighbours, and every member of our team past and present, you are Pairings and we thank you. 🙏

📸If you have a memory, photo, or moment you’ve shared with us over the years, we’d love to see it, or hear it. Please tag us in your posts or drop us a message. 💛

🥂Cheers to 10 years of community and connection in our wonderful city of York. Thank you for having us.

‼️An Important Update from Us at Pairings.‼️�
This is a message we never expected to share.

After 10 wonderful years on Castlegate, our final day of trading will be Sunday 25 January 2026. Our landlords will be taking back the building to operate their own venture under a completely different brand to Pairings.��We had been working hard on plans to relocate nearby, but this became unviable due to planning and budget challenges far beyond what we could reasonably overcome.

We want to be clear: this is not a decision we made by choice. We’ve explored every possible option, but our hand has been forced.

❓What happens now? All existing bookings after the closure date will be cancelled, and we’ll be contacting guests directly.

If you’re holding vouchers, we encourage you to use them while we’re still open. Any valid unredeemed vouchers will be fully refunded to the original purchaser. To request a refund, please email [email protected] with the voucher code.

Our incredible team will remain employed through the transition.

Most importantly, this is not the end of Pairings.��We remain committed to hospitality, to our guests, and to finding the right next step when the time is right.

Thank you for 10 years of loyalty, love, laughter, and support.

Kate & Kelly, co-owners of Pairings

⭐️FAQ: What is a wine flight at Pairings?

Our wine flights are carefully selected wines showcasing similar styles of wine. We offer three wines (with or without paired food) presented on a board with tasting notes you can take away with you. ✨💫

It’s a great way to explore and discover new wines! 🍷

We also have some fantastic Whisky Flights and Gin Flights and no and low options to choose from.

January might be all about fresh starts, but some things don’t need changing, like our much-loved Deli Platter. 🥰🧀🥓🫒
