Now run by Greene King it’s a prominent large, corner pub on the main road into York from the West. Roughly a V shape it has a range of seating areas round the V, the apex being a raised area. Fairly bland cream decor with a few corporate posters although it retains some lincrusta or anaglypta on the lower walls. The L shaped counter sits on the back wall, various groups of keg solos plus two pulls both of which were covered by upturned glasses on my Friday lunchtime visit. There’s a profusion of screens and machines and a pool table at the back behind the servery. Fairly empty on my visit, the first of one.
