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!

Absolutely perfect pub! Cosy traditional bar and seating - the pub evens boats of an ancient "coffin drop". Recently taken over by an excellent and well experienced York couple who guarantee great beers and ideal pub menu. You order your main dish then chips/Yorkshire pud/veggies etc as sides so you only pay for what you eat. Top food and very good value. Dog friendly. Pubs don't get better than this.
