Such an awesome pub with fascinating history behind it! After spending a few hours exploring the streets of York and getting in my steps, I fancied quenching my thirst, yearning for a refreshing shandy. A couple of other pubs I tried, seemed to be really busy. So I gave The Golden Slipper a go, seeing as I'd never been in before, and I'm glad I did! Inside was nice and quiet, served by a really friendly chap at the bar, and then I headed out into the little garden area (there might be more garden space I wasn't aware of, or that didn't notice). The part where I went, past the toilets, there was a table with two chairs, a bench and table, and then another bench and a table, which was more than adequate (especially as there wasn't anyone out there, when I sat down). Was nice to enjoy a crisp pint in the open, but would love to return again in the future, as the inside felt like it had a fantastic vibe to it, with plenty of places to sit and enjoy a pint and people-watch. Definitely look forward to coming back here again, top-notch service!
