Not yet - I'm hoping a local will chime up or I'll pick somewhere nearer the time. It'll be within easy access of the railway station though, I expect. I used to go in the Kings Head by the river, but that might be a bit small and possibly flooded (!) and I also used to go in the Roman Bath, but the last time I went in there it was an absolute dive! Might have to trawl for a trusty Wetherspoons 🙂
 
King's Head is tiny - and often flooded (though I have been there about 3 times in the last fortnight). Wetherspoons is a dive, and a bit out of the way. Would suggest The Last Drop Inn. They do real ale, and there are normally plenty of tables. They also do food, which I'm told is pretty nice, although not the cheapest in the world. Will suggest some others as well, but since York has a pub for every day of the year, it's not like you're short of choices.

A York Local

I should be there - only just heard about it and I live in York!!! I came along last year too. There's a good big Wetherspoons called The Postern Gate on Piccadilly, should be able to get a crowd in there! Plus, there's a Travelodge next door. However, I'll have a think about other venues and make suggestions when we've an idea of numbers. See you there!
 
I might be coming. Depends on my sister's leaving do at school and money. A perennial issue that.

Glad you found the link! Hope to be there too. I thought the restaurant we went to last year was excellent and would much prefer to go there as a treat - and change from Wetherspoons, as good as Wetherspoons usually are!

Well - that's me definitely coming - cheap(ish) rail tickets are booked

I am looking forward to seeing everyone again
 
The Last Drop Inn sounds good to me. I've never been there though, we tend to end up in PizzaExpress.🙂

I like Pizza Express or Ask in the Assembly Rooms is a great setting for a restaurant. There's loads of good places to eat in York, it depends what people want to eat and how many of us there are. I think the Last Drop Inn might be a little small? But, could be cosy, depending on your outlook!
 
Ask is great restaurant with plenty of room🙂

I would say that Bella Italia is much nicer food, for about the same price, but that's just me 😉

Is there a Bella Italia in York? I never noticed

We get vouchers from Tesco for Pizza Express, that's why we go there
 
Looks as though it's Italian of some description!
I think Ask in the Assembly rooms is such a nice setting and the food's great - I've always had good food there.... 🙄
 
I'm not bothered where we go, as long as we meet 🙂
