I remember this as The Hansom Cab, but it appears to have reverted to its original name. I hadn't called in here for years, but a sudden torrential downpour whilst walking around York soon put that right. It doesn't look as if it's changed much, if at all. Classic wood panelling and red banquette seating. The usual Sams fare, I had a pint of OBB and Ms CAMRA had a half of the Cider Reserve. Sign up saying this is a digital free zone. The numpty woman sitting across from us promptly got her phone out and took a picture of it!! Two old boys also got a telling of for swearing, which to be fair, they were doing quite a bit of. It's a classic of it's kind and we should call in more often.

Deeply traditional Sam Smith's pub so subject to Humphrey's usual restrictive foibles in exchange for being wonderfully unspoilt. It is fitted with nice wood-panelling from floor to ceiling and dark red leather banquettes in all directions with brass trimmings. The only jarring note is a line of fairy lights round the top - no idea how that fits into the traditional ethos. Just OBB on pump of course, but in good order and still hanging on at £3 a pint. Populated almost entirely by old fogeys, but a nice relaxing place to drink if you are one.

still a really good Sam Smiths pub with the traditional wood panelled interior. Mostly older locals in here, conversation led with the phone and swearing bans strictly enforced. OBB at the new price of £3 a pint, still decent value by central York standards.
