The Cross Keys, York

Open plan Greene King pub, none of their beers present on the four pulls, Old Peculiar, one each from local brewers Ainsty and Issac Poad and the ubiquitous Landlord, not in bad nick. Internally some residual walls provide several discreet drinking / seating spaces. Traditional furnishings in wood with some banquette seating, there is a tall table with high chairs opposite the counter. Floored in a mix of carpet, laminate and tiling by the counter, the walls and wainscoting are light and dark grey respectively, decor is mostly old photos and drawings of York. There’s constant music and less obtrusive screens and machines. Like Alan Winfield I preferred this one to the more sedate Fox & Roman.
