A traditional Bishopthorpe pub with a modern kitchen, a real fire and a large garden with a play area. CAMRA records it as dog friendly, so dogs are welcome in the bar rather than left outside. Two miles from the centre of York by the riverside path.
These are the parts only the business can add. We check the dog policy and stamp the date — photos, prices and their own words are theirs to put in, and this listing is waiting for them.
The fire, the snug, the water bowl by the door.
A few dishes and what they cost, so people arrive knowing.
Can the dog actually sleep here, and what does it cost.
Which rooms, which times, whether the whippet gets a biscuit.
Claiming fills every box above, and lets you reply to reviews when they open. £15 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Three flat miles from Bishopthorpe village out to the Ouse below the Archbishop's palace, upstream along the bank towards Middlethorpe and back on the tarmac of the old railway; an easy hour and a half with no stiles and one gentle ramp. Park on Main Street or Chantry Lane and walk down Acaster Lane to the water; the number 11 bus from York runs through the village every half hour. Dogs can be off lead on the railway path and the riverbank away from the road, and the Ouse gives a swim from the shelving bank, but the riverside meadows are grazed in summer so watch for cattle; the riverside half floods after heavy rain, at which point the railway path alone still gives you a dry there-and-back.
Bishopthorpe's village local on Main Street, a short hop from the Archbishop of York's palace and the riverside path into the city. It is a child and dog friendly pub serving food daily, with a beer garden for sunny afternoons. Pairs neatly with a walk along the Ouse or across to the Knavesmire.
A child and dog friendly village pub on Bishopthorpe Main Street, two miles from the centre of York, with a garden behind. Dogs are welcome indoors as well as out. Close to the riverside path that runs up to the Millennium Bridge.
Nobody has written one for The Woodman. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
