A few posts under my belt
It's been a while since I've been on here, so I'm glad to be here with good news - CAMRA has awarded YORAC it's regional Pub of the Month Award. You're all more than welcome to come and find out why we've won... (unless you're barred, but I doubt that :xd: )

Talking of Pieminster pies (were we?), i notice that these are now available at the Rose & Crown.

Interesting timing with the ale house just closing, what sort of prices?
Good question - around the £5.90 mark if memory serves, with chips 'n' peas.

Four varieties were on offer - Shamrock (beef & Guinness), Chicken of Aragon, a fishy one and a cheesy one. Whether this is fixed or changeable i do not know, i guess we'll have to wait for someone 'in the know' to fill us in.

:pie:

The chicken of aragon was quite nice, the matador was always my favourite though.

Edit: ooh, and the Mr porky. That was lush!

Heard from a friend today that Children were no longer allowed in at lunch times as they got turned away. Please tell me this was just a one off mistake?

Very disappointed to get the following reply on their Facebook page:

Hi Tim. I'm not sure about the specifics of the situation you've mentioned, but I have just spoken to management, and they have informed me that Under 15s are not permitted in the pub at any time as per policy. Apologies for any offence or inconvenience caused

In the grand scheme of things one would have thought that such a policy would attract as many as it would repel.

Not good news for the child-encumbered, admittedly.

As I fed back to them, it's a shame to be pushed away from independent pubs to the chain ones. I know who I'd rather support given the choice.

Agreed, but you can only put your money where they permit you to put it. Just another off the list, I hate chain pubs but bring on the hungry horse!
