| It says a lot about a place when the only pub that was showing the Six Nations in York that I could find that wasn’t a complete dive with this Wetherspoons pub. In fact, I had to ask for it to be put on but the bar man was more than obliging, especially as it was advertised on the outside window. Other than that, a much of a muchness Wetherspoons. The bar staff were more helpful than I expected though, the food was acceptable and there was a good selection of ales. However, watching the Six Nations without sound in a pub without any atmosphere was a bit of a let-down. Supposedly, they do not have sound on TV's in Wetherpoons pubs as company policy. A shame but at least I was able to have a conversation with the handful of other people who were there to watch the game without having to shout. LennyBanter - 14 Mar 2012 18:01 |
| Visited with my family, including my 14/16 year old children, however we were informed in no uncertain terms that company policy meant that as we were not ordering food, we could not stay and have a drink. I am aware that under UK law, anyone who is 16 may have a beer or wine with any meal they have, yet we were not allowed to buy our children a coffee as we were not eating and only popped in for one quick drink at teatime. Company policy may be one thing, but to be spoken to in the manner we were by the surly barmaid, who made me feel as though I should know the policy of this company left a lot to be desired. The experience did not leave a good impression of Wetherspoons which was a shame. SouthYorkshireman - 29 Oct 2011 19:37 |
| A bit more upmarket than is typically the norm for a Wetherspoons. Tried everyone of the 7 ales on offer. All in immaculate condition. Barstaff were very friendly. Busy on a Saturday night, but not overly busy. dynamiteninja - 3 Oct 2011 16:53 |
| Tried to overcharge me and sullen acknowledgement of such afterwards does not leave me with a good impression. Beer was average oftenscore6 - 21 Aug 2010 22:17 |
