   Great pub. Service was swift and pleasant despite there only being one member of staff doing bar and table service. Would definitely recommend and will return again.

   We were away with friends for Easter weekend and booked the Snug for food and drinks. Perfect from start to finish, 10/10. The young man that served us was excellent, down to earth and very knowlegable. We will definitely recommend to friends and return the next time we are in York. Thank you.

   My friend had to send her pie back as it wasn’t cooked the pastry looked raw and her husband had the beef which was very fatty & chewy. My friend got a free drink. Would we return not really.

   Loved the new menu. Staff brilliant as always. We had chicken, gammon and pie. All were delicious. Best homemade chips in the business. Sticky toffee pud and coconut ice cream was had by all, divine. We shall return again soon.

   Nice experience. Booked the Mothers day 5 course special. Service was friendly, but as they were busy you could tell the attention to detail and service level wasn't quite there. For instance, some of the roast vegatables were hard/undercooked, and we had to keep going to the bar as drinks orders weren't arriving. That said I would still recommend - just a shame there were such simple mistakes. All the staff were lovely though and the food was tasty. Nice surroundings too.
