Visitors can expect a selection of cask conditioned ales, with five permanent beers to choose from and guest ales of varying styles throughout the year. The Master Cellarman takes great pride in the preparation and serving of the ales.

The pub's history dates back to 1902 when the manager was dismissed for bad behavior, drunkenness, and non-payment of rent. The new Landlord and Landlady were installed in 1903, setting the tone for proper behavior and creating a welcoming atmosphere for visitors.

The pub is described as cozy, friendly, and full of history. It offers a classic English feel with incredibly positive vibes. Despite its petite size, visitors can enjoy a welcoming and chatty staff, making it a must-visit spot in York.

Customers have highlighted the excellent ales, the cool atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the full-of-history vibe of the pub. The two rooms to sit in offer a unique experience, and visitors are encouraged to try the local beers for a true taste of Yorkshire.
