The Cock and Bottle, York

Eye wateringley expensive had one pint and felt i had been mugged �3,60 for a pint of mediocre Stella served in a cider glass, I get a cracking pint of Stella in proper glass for �2.50 at my local.Most of the bars in York are having a laugh at the prices they charge and will be the first to whinge when the punters leave. We stopped up the road at the campsite and a lot of the folks there said they did not bother going into York for a drink as it was to expensive.

Nice pub doing really good ales not as pricey as some of the York bars but not far off.�3.30 for a pint I get at home for �2.20,BUT nice staff and a good feel about the place I always call in when we are in town.

The Old Ebor, York

Terrible place had to wait for the barmaid to finish her mobile phone conversation before she bothered to serve me.When she got round to it the ale i wanted ran out and i settled on another it was rubbish i left it and got out of there,The blackboard out side promised much but failed to deliver.what a shame,

The Abbey Arms, Abbey Wood

I have been using this pub for the last five years as it is close to the caravan site at Abbey Wood, ok it is not your designer bar but it is what it is a local bar used by local people and it is fine. I am Geordie and have been made more than welcome by the manager and his family ,staff and the regulars.The beer is well kept and not overly expensive in fact it is the same as my local up here. I have seen no evidence of druggies or beggars but i only go there three to four times a year so maybe i have missed something but i doubt it.It was the high light of my visits to London which i will not be able to do now that Boris has banned my motorhome from the city. I will miss it as will my mate who sometimes came down with me. give it a go
