The White Horse, York

If I see a Danny Thwaites sign on the door am straight through it. What can I say excellent well kept beer, I enjoyed the Wainwright and the monthly special from Thwaites Crowning touch. A very friendly pub will defo return.

A large terraced Thwaites pub and hotel, in undressed brick mainly, with front gables in timber and white render. The interior is one long room, with the bar facing you on entry, though there is a partioned area with a pool table. The decor is white and dark red, with a coffee-ish/toffee-ish upper wall and ceiling and a green marble fireplace. There are lots of bits of ephemera, such as jugs and a 70s Hearts shirt. There are lots of prints on the walls. This is a proper pub. The service was fine and the locals brilliant fun. My mate has more than a passing resemblance to Fabio Capello and the guys here put 'Back Home' on the juke box (which he didn't understand - not being a footy fan). I did, and was in stiches. He finally got the message and laughed about it, as they shouted in unison - 'night Fabio', as we left. Class. There was also a TV which was showing the cricket. Music was supplied, as stated, by the jukebox and was at a decent level. Beer; tap stuff with a decent Thwaites Wainwright on handpull. There was also Lancaster Bomber, but sadly the Nutty Black wasn't on. I have been in here several times and always think it is fine - the Twaites beers make a nice change but seeing my mate Fabio'd made the night.

The White Horse is a medium sized pub just outside the city walls and it is opposite the Exebition pub,it was a Stones house in the early 80s but it is now run by Thwaites brewery,i had a drink of Thwaites Bitter which had travelled quite well as it was a decent drink there was also a seasonal beer on which i did 'nt write down. This is a fairly decent pub and i think it does accomodation.
