The Whippet Inn, York

The labelling on the entrance stairs directs you straight on for the restaurant and right for drinking. Pushing through the double doors you find a bijou and compact bar with two Britannias, a converted sewing machine table and two rather tall tables with equally tall tubular metal stools, seating comprises four dining chairs and a bench fitted under the front window. The counter is along one wall and also serves the restaurant side. Four pulls on here with local beers from Roosters and Ilkley plus a low T bar of better than average tap stuff. Sexually aware wallpaper and a couple of interesting pictures complete the decor. The staff wear ties and long aprons, it's that kind of place the beer and service are very good though. The gents are along a corridor and this also leads to a garden. Beware, the interior decorating fairy has been at work in this pub!
