York Visit - December 2011

4^th December, Sunday

Merry Christmas to men of good will!

myPUBGUIDE spent a few days in York. We have been many times before but we have not given this prize city a write up before now.

The pub nearest the York Central Travelodge hotel is the Postern Gate.  It is a bit pricey for a Wetherspoon. It is more more expensive than Didsbury Manchester and Holborn London for what we had in mind. It also appeared a bit busy on the two occasions we visit. There was also an unpleasantly strong aroma of vinegar near where we intended to sit. For us this is an unacceptable smell while eating. So, we ditch the place and went else.

The Masons Arms served food but there were no free tables - we were not offered the use of the unused function room. The food looked good but nothing was done to aid a few hungry diners.

Next was the Tassali; it could not get its act together, despite being just about empty. So, we moved on to a takeaway. We went into PFC and a couple of us ate a pizza for £6.
