The Express Tavern

We visit the Express Tavern regularly and have been having poor service for a while. This is due to ever changing staff and the calibre of staff going down. On this last visit the barman didn't listen (he had to turn the music down to even hear). I explained my low fat diet. My soup (supposed to be carrot but dark brown) was ok but my line caught tuna and sweetcorn sandwich without mayo was eventually changed because it contained mayo. There was also the option of tuna and mayo sandwich. Why two almost identical items on the same menu? Plus no-one in the bar knew what a line caught tuna sandwich was. I changed to a grilled chicken breast without the streaky bacon and no fat on the bread. I said I realised that the sandwich would be dry but (again) I couldn't have any fat. My husband ordered the chilli beef lunch. I got the brown soup and a chicken sandwich liberally spread with butter so only soup and chicken for me and my husband got a jacket potato with chilli on top. Needless to say no-one came to ask us if we were enjoying our lunch. I was annoyed and disappointed with the attitude of the man in the bar and he didn't care in the slightest. He also argued that the soft drink with the meal could only be orange or pineapple juice when I usually have either coke or a tonic water. We lunch out for a change and to enjoy a different meal but will not be returning to the Express Tavern.

I had a superb time here last Sunday. There is always a good range of well kept real ales on offer. On this particular occasion Timothy Taylor Landlord and Boltmaker were on as well as a beer from a York brewery. It felt like a mini Yorkshire beer festival. The roast lamb meal had everything, well cooked potatoes and vegetables with a magnificent Yorkshire pudding. There we go again! All the staff are hospitable and make you feel at home. And seeing Moby the pub dog is always a bonus. I should add the beers changed frequently here, however Bass and Big Smokes Solaris are like House beers.

Intending to just have a few pints in the back “beer garden,” we ended up with some plates of fish&chips and eventually moved inside for some more ale! Loved everything about this place; quintessential English pub. It was everything we had hoped for
