Lets just get a couple of things straight before I start. York and the York area is home to 19 pubs and inns named The Bay Horse or The Bay Horse Inn. Through no fault of my own, Bay Horse pubs in York are known as ones who harbour men of a certain sexual persuasion. Whether you would want to frequent one is none of my business. However, the Bay Horse I am assessing is The Bay Horse, located on the A19 route into York, addressed 105 Main Street, Fulford, York.
To get there, from the centre of York, follow signs for the A19 to Selby, progress into Fulford, a suburb of York. After passing a Repsol filling station, around 200m further south, on the left hand side of the road, is the Bay Horse. From the South, go into York from the McArthur Glen Designer Outlet exit of the A64. The pub is on the right hand side of the road about 3/4 of a mile from the A19/A64 junction.
The Bay Horse is a quality pub. Its not classy, but its cheap and cheerful. Beer is certainly cheap, in Happy Hours, which vary widely month to month, a Pint of John Smiths is £1.30. There is a fully stocked bar, featuring Smiths as wellas Fosters, Guiness, and a range of bottled products.
A reasonable food menu is also available, with chips being the primary intake amongst my group of friends. At £1 per portion they are worth a go. Roast Beef and orkshire pudding is also great if you feel a little more peckish.
Furthermore, the pub has an excellent entertainment selection. There is a 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' game machine, at 50p a pop, as well as a pool table (40p per game), darts board, and a projector television, where live football is shown, particularly where Leeds United are involved.
Basically, its a pub, it sells good, reasonably priced beer, its near my Sixth Form, there are plenty of buses into the centre going by, and there's plenty to do inside. Pukka!
