Cock Tavern

Lovely pub with a friendly staff. Gives you all the experience of a British pub. They got some good selection of beer and the inside asthetics are very old timey pub like. Quite a lot of room, yet can get crowdy. I wish there was bar seating too but overall a good decent experience.

This Sam Smith's has been a staple of the area for years. Bits of it haven't changed for decades, but some things have (the toilets still look fresh since the last refurb a few years back). The staff are as great as they can be on a Tadcaster salary - they should be paid more! You get a mix of people here: those fed up with Oxford Street, the BBCers, the tourists, and the office workers. It's usually quite empty, though. There are a few tables outside, which is great. Don't expect the moon on a stick (it is a Sam Smith's, after all), but it's good nevertheless. The thing that bugs me the most: the clock .. go, have a look, have a pint, and tell me I'm wrong!

I met a friend that I did my nursing with in 84 and its down the road from my office. I had a steak and kidney pie and mash. It was delicious. Would thoroughly recommend
