A traditional English pub?

[Mike Young]

Occasionally, I am asked by tourists to direct them towards a “typically English pub serving traditional English food” in the city centre. As I’m from Bradford, I ususally regard curries as now being traditional English food. This probably isn’t the answer our tourists want.
Can anyone advise me, please?
Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike,
I have also been asked this question and generally tend to point them to one of the Nicholson’s chain which include both the Cross Keys and White Swan in Goodramgate that we pass by on the route of the walk.
Of course there are other alternatives including the Golden Slipper and The Royal Oak which are also in Goodramgate.

As we tend to be standing in Whip-ma-whop-ma-gate when being asked, I often point out that the Golden Fleece in Pavement claims to be “the most haunted pub” in York……

Finally, if there are any Canadians asking, I point them toward the Black Swan in Peasholme Green as Wolfe family lived here before they moved to the American colonies.
