Why not book a meal for Valentines Night (Tues 14th), full menu to be announced shortly. We are staring off a project entitled "The Jubillee Garden" in which we are asking the locals to provide help and expertise in redesigning the rear patio area in order we throw a Jubillee street party in the first week of June for the Queens Diamond Jubillee - all offers of help welcomed. As mentioned below we are holding our mini-beer festival on the weekend of 23-24 March.
St Georges Day is over the weekend of Sat 21st - Mon 23rd April, watch out for further info soon. After the Queens Jubillee sees the start of Euro 2012, we will be celebrating Englands first three games in the usual York style with this year highlighting European beers, wine and food throughout the tournament. Maybe we will progress into the latter stages - who knows?

All our other events will be taking place as usual throughout the year including Mothers Day Lunch, Easter Bunny Day, Halloween, Bonfire Night and the Kids Christmas Party. As usual our weekly quiz will take place every Thursday.

Real Ale Tuesdays at The York Hotel

Real Ale Guide 2011 - "We're in it!!"
After four years plugging away at selling Real Ale we have finally been rewarded with an entry into the Good Beer Guide - CAMRA's bible of where to get good cask ales in Great Britain. We are only one of 3 pubs in Morecambe to be listed; the others being The Smugglers and The Palatine, like us, upholding the standard of Real Ale in the town.
Not wanting to rest on our laurels we are going to strive to get in the guide next year. A copy of the guide is available for anyone to read behind the bar.
