The Saddle Inn, York

A double fronted pub now opened into one space, a small snug like area to the left and a larger bar area to the right with steps down to a dining and possibly music performance area. The counter against the original spine wall is in the right hand side, a motley collection of national kegs and two unused pulls plus another two pulls, serving “Courage” Directors and “Tetleys” cask Bitter ironically served in a Banks’s glass. Fairly minimalist in furnishing and decor terms, a couple of big screens and a couple of mirrors. Some original features remain, three neat Victorian fireplaces, one in marble but with a reproduction fire, and possibly the medieval style corbels. Carpet and laminate floors, banquette and stools seating.

Pleasant if unexciting suburban village pub. Quite tidily kept and fairly traditional interior in an L-shaped room with the bar to the centre, with a side room with pool table. Draught beers were Boondoggle and a house-badged 3.9% beer from Marstons. Latter was not in best of condition however. Car park through arch and garden area at rear.

A pretty standard Marstons tied house in the heart of Fulford. This is a Fairly average pub but by far the cheapest in Fulford. There were three pumps with two ales available, Burton Bitter at £2.90 and Boon bogggle at £3.10, both were in a nice condition. There is one main smallish bar are as you walk in with a seating area to the left side and another on the right down some steps. A faily traditional interior that sees a little dated but nice enough so sit in. Although not the best pub in Fulford if doing a crawl this is defiantly worth a call as the beer is good and reasonably priced. It was pretty dead on my visit but when busier I could imagine it to have a lot better atmosphere.
