    Lovely traditional pub in centre of york. We had a delicious Sunday roast with all the trimmings only negative i can think of is despite there being a good selection of vegetables the portion could of been bigger. The staff were very friendly & attentive throughout Really enjoyed our visit here good value for money, would definitely reccomend.

    I had opted for the beef roast my food was cold and the beef needed a hacksaw to cut through it. I had a side order of pigs in blankets that looked like they had been cooked in the deep fat fryer! The roast spuds was from the freezer , my husband had fish and chips and he said they was really nice , so disappointed
