The Sun Inn, York

Traditional pub with a multi room layout around a fairly central counter. Banquette seating at cast iron based tables with beer mats, sporting memorabilia - mostly cricket as it’s Yorkshire, and big screens showing sports even at lunchtime. Full trophy cabinet and not a trace of navy surplus paint. Usual range of national kegs plus Theakstons best and a guest from someone called Cooper Hill - the pump clip wouldn’t pass the sexism police being very much in the mould of Top Totty, the third pull was unbadged. Bradfield Farmers Blonde, Roosters Yankee and Ruddles Best (!) were coming soon. I liked this one - there aren’t many decent, cosy, friendly pubs like this left.

Excellent and well-run community pub with lots of activities: quiz, music, darts, golf, poker etc. A good drinking area round the centrally-postioned bar, with a couple of tucked-away corners, and a large and comfortable traditionally-furnished room to the front. Small car park at rear with a few tables outside. Beers include a few local regulars and an enthusiastic regularly-changing guest list.
