PUNCHBOWL YORK — Restaurant in England

Few reviews I can see aren't for this pub, there are a few punch bowls In York so make sure you review the correct one!

The bar staff was extremely accommodating. OK its not a posh place and not for everyone. But if you enjoy a laugh, cheap booze but a good pint. A laugh and a friendly atmosphere then this is the...

Disgusting service, know how to make a young person feel unwelcome don't you? I can understand your prejudice but it was clear we were just two people you wanted a nice quick drink. Took forever to get eye contact let alone a drink, my friend might come back put personally I will be avoiding it like the bloody plague Oh and did I mention the overflown toilet? Disgusting, should have been closed ages...
