nice building, service friendly, good atmosphere. not impressed at the quality of the lager - tried alpine and the organic one and wasn't convinced about either: they just tasted odd - not is a rush to drink them again.
Samuel Smith pubs used to be good for cheap beers and the beers taste good. Now this isn't the case, they are well over priced and I had better beers for less money elsewhere. a pint of organic wheat beer costs £7.30 pnt, this is ridiculous, it doesn't cost that much to make. Samuel Smith today is well over rated and if they keep this up, people will stop going and they will close. This is pure profiteering at a time where the cost of living, energy bills and interest rates are sky high. Pubs are closing down at a relentless rate because of profiteering.
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!
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.
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
