It's not a restaurant hence the empty rating for food because there is none. For the other aspects it gets 5 so effortlessly that it makes the star system almost redundant. The array of well kept ales is not quite as expansive as The Royal Oak but it makes little difference. The pub has a beautiful light which drifts or streams in depending on the weather; and light, to me, can make or break a pub. But here it's lovely, whether it's packed or just a couple of old boys enjoying a peaceful pint. Very friendly and efficient service, always welcoming and warm which is how a pub should be.
Great little pub. Aptly named as it's next door to the Minster. As I walked in, I heard "bells were ringing out" from Fairytale of New York, while bells at the Minster were in full peal, a triple bell experience! These 2 beers were available for anyone liking their beer dark and sweet. Other beers included Staropramen. No food on offer except crisps etc.
Had a couple of pints before my train home. The barman was lovely and the place was clean and warm. The toilets were a bit grotty but typical of an old building.
