The Derwent Arms, York

Osbaldwick is a less enticing than some suburb of York due to many newer houses on the Main Street, the Derwent Arms is their only pub but at least they have one. Traditional two room set up, the left room has banquette seating at rectangular tables with the counter down the righthand side of the spine wall. Home to three pulls with Abbot & Ossett Blonde only on, there’s a horseshoe with five nationals, and a couple of solos. Flooring is carpet and lino and there’s fake stone and wood wallpaper, the room has lots of windows so there’s little room for decoration. The right hand room is more a public bar, just a Lino floor, but with the added attractions of darts and a big screen. Again it has banquette seating. There’s the same beer set up as in the lounge with three pulls carrying Abbot and Ossett Blonde, a horseshoe of five nationals and a trio of solos with Heineken 0.0 on one, Inch’s and Moretti on the others. A village local with local village regulars it’s their pub and it’s not really there to serve anyone else.
