UPDATE! This has been my local for years and the quality of the place very much depends who is running it.
I'm pleaed to say that it is now as good as it has ever been! Danielle, Ray and the team have done a super job making it into a really welcoming, friendly place.
I think it's the best Guinness in York (but I might be biased). They have a few ales on too now which is great to see.
They've also started doing food which I really like! Just simple bar snacks and a Sunday Roast.
Personally I prefer the lounge (right as you go in) or staying outside in the huge beer garden. The bar is OK but can get a bit loud.
Good place to stop if you have a caravan too, 45 minute walk from York centre and right next to a bus - they take bookings I think for this!
The quiz is excellent too - but super popular so book early! It's every other Wednesday...

Great pub, very friendly staff and landlord. Excellent flat large car park. Good bus route for York city centre and out of town shopping. Local shops in the area. Lovely walks by rivers, woods. York town around 1.5-2 miles walk. Would highly recommend this welcoming pub for motorhomes and visitors alike. Please use the pub if using the facilities, the landlord is being very generous to let motorhomes stay. Please phone the pub to arrange to stay or phone should you cancel its polite...

I would 100% return, in time to try the amazing looking food and enjoy...
