Looking forward to this being my new local when we move into the area in May. Friendly staff, decent drinks and very very reasonable prices. Love seeing wuffs in the pub. Not just the odd one, loads. And never any bother or barking. Feels like a proper homely place.
Update. So this became our local pub after we moved in. Stu and Lyndsay (Hope I've spelt that right) both made us very welcome. As did all of the staff actually. Love just popping in. I put a request in to stock a drink I could only find in 1 other bar in York and Stu happily obliged and then charged me far less for the same drink. We popped in the night of the Jubilee last year, the place was packed, no tables free. Stu invited my wife and I to joining his group and introduced us to his friends and family. It's been 20+ years since I have had a local pub I like calling in to, and whilst I don't go down the pub every night for dinner now (married and kids) It's nice finally having a local pub again. More, people remembering my (unusual) name after the first meeting.
Atmos lovely, beer patio is pleasant on a warm evening. Cheap prices for a city. Food is just lovely, great selection of tapas (although, if they did a Sunday roast, we'd probably be there every weekend my wife wasn't working) Just need to see if they'll get Caffreys on for me now 😂😂😂

Read moreApril 2025 update - new landlords look like they have a plan ... which sound great. Early days but she is crystal clear and the staff are great. March 2024 update - still pretty darn good. Dec 2023 and new management. 1st visit was a big success. Ales were kept perfectly and all staff very friendly. High hopes going forward. Glad to see it both...
Read moreTurned up on race day for a few drinks before. Found an unlocked abandoned pub. After wandering round inside as a group, with a fully stocked bar and open till at our disposal some guy in a dressing gown wanders down the stairs saying pub was closed following a late night staff party. Good job we were honest people as could have robbed...
