The village of Haxby is not exactly the beaten path but this pub has lots of local flavour and most of the folks in there were locals. If you get your meal before 645pm there are early bird specials and we took advantage of that both of us having the steak and ale pie which was really excellent served with chips and a fresh green salad. Lots of selection on the menu and a good dessert menu as well. It's a free house so there was a good selection of beers and ales and a really great selection of gin (gin corner) behind the bar. The waitresses were attentive and friendly and we had beer and food in no time at all. Highly recommend.

After a while our waitress returned and took our order for food. The plates of food that arrived were exceptional especially the shared, baked Camembert. Truly delicious.

So rather than…read morespeeding into town we decided to just walk across the road from the guest house to this delightful pub. To the left was the bar area and to the right the dining bit. A broad gent appeared and guided us to a table. The decor was lovely, with old exposed beams and brickwork, vintage paintings, a fireplace and solid wooden tables. The menu itself was pub grub at its finest. We were quite ravenous so we opted for the three courses for £24.99. Between us we ordered the garlic prawns , scallops and flat bread, two prime steaks and to finish a carrot cheesecake and chocolate brownie. The prawns/scallops were large but not numerous. The garlic and herbs were flavoursome though. I had requested my steak medium rare. The quality of the meat was good but it was a little overdone for me..with hindsight I should have ordered it rare. The peppercorn and brandy sauce had a good kick to it , it did over power the steak so I dipped my chips In it. The carrot cheesecake was very stodgy but had that nice nostalgic homemade feel about it. Overall a very lovely traditional pub, the gent that served us was as attentive despite being rushed off his feet and the food good.

We should get to call all their male bar staff Basil, the female, Sybil and Terry for those workers who don't identify with these genders. I noted that all the male staff wore thin, cheap shirts and trousers so worn out they were shiny. They had a darn good range of beers and darn decent porter mind. At just £15.80 for three pints and a large glass of wine they offered great value for money. That brings 5 stars and allows us to tolerate the staff. The place was packed so the recipe is working for the owner. They are along the riverside with outside cheap seating, right beside the Ouse river and geese strolled around as we sat and chatted in warm sunshine. If they did actual food I didn't notice. As we walked inside to the bar to order our first drinks we encountered staff challenging a chap of much advanced years, dressed like a drab Quentin Crisp, who attempted to use his mobile phone in the pub. I later spotted him outside, drink in one hand and mobile phone against his ear, he was chatting, leaning against the wall trying unsuccessfully to look nonchalant. They describe themselves as a 'digital detox pub'. The chief rule is no mobile phones as they want customers to talk to each other. How novel, quirky and eccentric in the 21st century. No swearing and no music either. Them rules are strictly enforced and you will be evicted if them rules ain't followed promptly. If I'm ever in York again I'll be sure to return for the stout and the insults.
