A fairly average Craft Union estate pub with darts, pool and more screens than you can shake a stick at. Reasonably furnished and mostly carpetted at least, with a nicely broken-up layout, although the toilets let the side down. Just John Smiths Smooth Crap as a bitter, even if sensibly-priced at £3.40.

Another estate pub in the maze of housing to the south west of York. It looks a little nicer outside than others in the area and less austere inside than some. It’s got a carpet with plastic tiles round the servery which serves both the front and back bars. It’s multi spaced due to pillars and short dividers, each space seems to have at least two screens, one has a pool table. Three T-bars in the front bar and no cask beers, usual lager/cider mix with John Smiths Smooth and Guinness. One wall has a big 1950s or 1960s OS map showing the area before the houses were built.
