| Description | One of York’s finest pubs for a number of reasons – and we will come to its interior – but the most persuasive of all is its genuine social value. Like all great English pubs its attracts people from a range of generations and backgrounds interacting in a comfortable social setting. It feels vibrant, relevant and alive. This has been fostered by the owners who won a long battle with previous owners to secure its future as an independently-owned community asset. Enter to find a stand-up lobby area across which are two rooms including an old ‘Smoke Room’ furnished with comfortable upholstered bench seats and little tables. There is a beer garden to the rear. Remodelled in the 1930s and preserved to Grade II listed standards, there are flashes of flair to the detail and finish in and around familiar and warm, likeable surroundings. If you catch it during its sweet spot where the place is nicely full, you will not want to leave. |
