The Wellington Inn, Fulford, York

A double fronted, terraced, back street pub belonging to Sam Smiths. It has two rooms at the front, to the left is the main bar and counter in traditional style; quarry tiles, warm wood, leather banquette seating at Britannia tables and a nice Victorian fireplace. To the right is another sitting room in siimilar style but carpeted and behind that a third sitting room. The central corridor leads from the front door to a beer garden at the rear and the outside toilets. As it’s a Sam’s pub there are three pulls but only an above average OBB on (£3.60 a pint) plus the usual collection of small boxes, no fancy tall fonts for Mr Humphrey other than the Pure Brewed Lager. There are seven of their high quality kegs on although the lovely Stout was covered over. The main room is decorated with old photos, a fair number of white rose stuff and of course pictures of the eponymous Duke.
