Wonderful pub that was very popular in our University days and it was lovely to return thirty years later during a reunion. Excellent food and cask ale, the Taylor's Landlord was on top form and the gentleman on the bar was extremely friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend a visit.

Tremendamente acogedor, ya que son pequeños comedores independientes. La atención muy amable a pesar de nuestro escaso inglés. La comida toda rica, presentada con cariño. Dispone de menús a precios razonables,

Staff could not accommodate to us more! Staff were very welcoming and service was great. Food was absolutely delicious after a long day exploring York and the wine was tasty too. Will definitely be returning on my next trip to York. Lovely atmosphere in a traditional pub setting, just what we wanted.
