(Update 2025)
Still a very lovely multi-roomer, although some of the dreaded grey paint has crept in. Changing the beer range seems to be working ok though, with current offerings Roosters Yorkshire's Best, Hambleton Stud, Five Points Mild, Turning Point Sounds of Colour and Vocation Heart & Soul. The pizzas are still very popular, to the extent that takeaways now dropped.

(Oct 2017 review)
Splendid pub tucked away in a side street by the city walls, retaining the old multi-room interior which has been beautifully restored with traditional furnishings and includes real fires. A good selection of beers is offered from the wider Marston's family (Cask Marque listing). Food is restricted to pizza and not always available, but it sounded good and is also available for takeaway, as is the beer. There is also a nice little courtyard garden at the rear.

My first visit for a few years, possibly 2017, and a brief one quite late in the evening after a tour of York's heritage pubs. Of which this is itself one, making it a fitting last pub of the day. Although it is still owned by Marstons, there are presently none of their beers on the bar - a trial period apparently, to see whether more interesting beers will sell better than their known brands. All the beers were from Yorkshire breweries: two from Ossett, one each from Ilkley, Brew York and Kirkstall. I must come back soon and reacquaint myself with this excellent pub.

still a good multi roomed pub, even the baneful influence of clueless Marstons can’t change that. lively and full of atmosphere despite its slightly off beaten track location. I cringe at the marketing bollocks on the new signage declaring it a ‘ale house and kitchen’. You’re a pub, why not be proud of that?
