Here goes nothing!

My local has just won CAMRA pub of the Season (autumn 09, judged through the summer) and I thought I'd share it with any zoners who want to have a go. It's a pretty place and has some great country driving roads on the route. If you're on an 80mm drop you might want to take it a bit easy, but there are no speed cameras.*

The pub is the Bay Horse in Terrington which is about 20 minutes East of York. Rob the landlord brews his own beer, and it is bloody good :) He has won several awards at beer festivals and I've done extensive quality control work for him :D The brewery is called The Storyteller and that is on the sign as well, so don't get confused - there is only one pub in the village :)

The place rarely shuts before 1am on a Friday and there are rooms available if you check with Rob. He's not an official BnB but there are 5 rooms available for "crash landings" if you check with him first. I've warned him of the date and he guaranteed clean sheets!

Parking is front or back, I guess if its a nice day we can park out the front and sit out there gazing over the gleam of gently rusting E30s :) Or if its bad weather, park at the back where it is more sheltered. Up to you on the day. The easiest way to get there is to follow brown tourist signs to Castle Howard and then look out for road signs to Terrington.

I'm trying not to clash with any other events, so please treat this as an addition to the calendar - and drag along any mates you like. The pub is friendly and suitable for wives/girlfriends so you might even get some brownie points out of it. Well, come out even at least....

I'll scan and post the menu as soon as I leave the pub sober enough to remember to take one with me.

*but there are cops with speedguns on the A64 so I'd advise taking the backroads if you've got SatNav.

How much would a double room at the pub be Morat?

Well, there's no fixed price... I'm sure you'd get one for £20, probably less since its just a bed in a room!

OK, looks like this isn't really a goer then, unless Malc want's a private audience!
Nevermind, I'm sure I can tempt some people over another time :)
