Fox & Coney Inn, South Cave

Yet another new manager in May 2009 (Shane) who is keeping it ticking over while owners Enterprise try to find another new operator. Its had turbulent times but this is a genuine olde British pub that MUST be preserved. Not sure that dogs in the restaurant is very healthy though.

The Hope and Anchor, Blacktoft

Its an odd place, no doubt, with the entrance really letting it down (you see a portacabin kitchen on the left, enter past smelly toilets, into a pool room). The range of beers is excellent, staff welcoming, and food good too. Flies can be a nuisance in the summer, but the tranquiility of the river is amazing.
Well worth the trek down the long road from Gilberdyke - but NOT a trip for a foggy night as the ditches along that road are deep & treacherous!

The Roebuck, Richmond Hill

My wife and I used to manage this pub in the 1970s when it bwas owned by William youngers Inns. A wonderful place at that time, with Mick Jagger living at one side, and a leading radio industry / Virgin exec at the other. There was a restaurant on the first floor, boooked up weeks in advance, and we prided ourselves on our real ales. No music at that time . Happy Days.
