Royal Oak York Goodramgate York Pub

James Fulton said: What a nice wee place.good food nice landlady/landlord all in all a great place to eat drink and be cosy....

J and J Thompson emailed us to say: The Royal Oak is no longer in Dave & Sallys hands. it has been handed to someone who has put the prices up, removed the traditional seating in favour of cafe style Ikea bistro seats! What a shame when the Golden Slipper next door shows the pub how a re-furb should have been done.

YORK

I have been going here for a good few years now. Nice place good atmosphere good beer good food. An open gas fire in the back room makes for a warm stay on a winters evening. A very traditional pub. No jukebox just chatting in the house. Rooms are cozy with a bar lounge and snug on the ground floor. They have even managed to keep the slot machine in the hallway so you don't get bothered at the nasty noise most of them make.

Outdoor lavatory for the gents is a bit cold on a winter but hey, no man sits down in a pub toilet anyway's do they .. it is just not done :)
Dave Smith has been the landlord here forever. Not that you seem to see much of him though. Sally his wife and landlady can be seen occasionally as well. Nice folks been in York to long to be your really friendly land people sorts maybe :)
Sunday dinner has been taken here on a number of occasions and is variable. Beef has been from tender to rubber on different days. Mind you the steak and ale pie is definitely worth a try. Lots of it good mash well cooked veg and a nice crust. All round winner if you like traditional pub food.
