The recently rejuvenated York Inn has been transformed by the new proprietor Dan into a friendly welcoming traditional pub serving great food and superb beer.

Whether you’re looking for a great atmosphere for a night out with friends, a lunch-time bite following a mornings walk in the hills, a refreshing pint after a hard ride, or if you’re looking for one of those great little places that you can rely on to provide well cooked food on every visit – we’d like to think you’ve found it right here!
It goes with out saying that children and dogs are all welcome (as are well behaved adults)!
