Just ignore the 'Private Party' signs, they appear every weekend. I think that they are displayed to put off the Hen/Stag parties for which York is well known.

There are not enough superlative to describe this delightful pub, which is listed in CAMRA’s National Inventory.

No music, just the gentle sound of conversation. One touch of which I particularly approve is the notice requesting patrons not to use mobile ‘phones in the public bars.

Beers on offer were Timothy Taylor “Landlord”, Bradfield Brewery “Farmer’s Bitter”, “Farmer’s Stout” and “Farmer’s Blonde”, Rooster’s “Yankee”, Rudgate “Ruby Mild” and Ossett “Silver King”. All beers sampled were in the finest of fettle.

I was so impressed that I visited on four occasions over the course of three days, and have no hesitation in giving this absolute treasure a rip-snorting 9/10!

Superb two bar Victorian pub with a fine range of beers. I was there early evening and the place was mainly full of locals all of whom seemed to be known to the bar staff.

Excellent spot. Good beer, friendly bar staff. What more could you want?

As always, well worth a visit for a unique British pub experience. Sadly I was only in York for a couple of days and met the Private Party sign on the door early Friday evening.
Not impressed.
