About

This place is a legendary York spot. People love the quirky, medieval vibe and the massive beer selection. The food, especially the pies, gets a big thumbs up for being hearty and tasty. It is often packed, so you might have to share a table, but that just adds to the fun. Some find the service a bit hit-or-miss when it is slammed, but most think it is a must-visit.
