| Hidden gem of a pub, on the CAMRA National Inventory and in the York Historic Pub Guide. The modest red tiled exterior and Pubmaster sign don't exactly draw you in, but a treat awaits- a side lobby has two etched doors accessing two rooms, a tiny front bar room and a rear 'smoke room'- now akin to a snug, so narrow is it. This room and the lobby both have hatch access to the bar. The rooms are wood-panelled and traditionally furnished throughout, with the bar room only having enough room for 3 or 4 tables. Traditional pub games are available in this room. It is apparently York's last surviving intact Edwardian interior. The Pubmaster sign is a bad portender because these pubs were bought by Punch Taverns, scourge of drinkers everywhere, but happily this pub is now allowed to take part in the Locale scheme which has seen it's previously solid but unchanging beer range improve. Osset Silver King and Golden Salamander complemented the usual Landlord, Black Sheep and Deuchars on my visit. Salamander in fine form. This pub has always been a must visit when in York for me and now the beer range means it's even better- not to be missed. Carlurmston - 10 Feb 2010 15:52 |
| Can't believe its the first time I have had a drink in this gem of a pub, but I have looked in when visiting York before without buying a drink. Made it to the bar this time and enjoyed Moorhouses Pride of Pendle and Rudgate Ruby Mild. Lovely friendly atmosphere in the front bar. gillhalfpint - 1 Jan 2010 23:39 |
| Nice enough pub this. Serves a range of ales, which are well served. Food is more snacks than 3 course dinner, but adequate if you want a quick bite with your beer. JohnB67 - 14 Dec 2009 16:04 |
| Sneeked in here whilst wifey was shopping in M&S. Walked into the small front bar with its Edwardian interior, dark wood walls, big old fireplace, grandmother clock stopped at 9.39 and flowers on the bar (how sweet). A few old guys sat around, very relaxing, read my paper. Beer - 7 real ales were available a good choice too including a dark mild and a lager beer from Harviestoun. I had a pint of Adnams served at a hint below room temperature (possibly the ideal heat) and very good it was too. The multitasking barmaid/landlady was busy cleaning away as well as being a good hostess. A good hideaway 7. ape_arrody - 16 Oct 2009 10:21 |
| Blue Bell pub Fossgate. I went February 2008 and had the best pub meal ever, it was a Spanish all day breakfast. It cost about £3.99 but was tasty and with the fresh basket of bread was very filling. The beer was excellent! We re-visited Feb 2009 and alas no Spanish all day breakfast. Was there a change in landlord????? Can someone please let me know I'm gagging to know?? Cheers! joeMc - 26 Sep 2009 20:29 |
