    Now, I'll usually avoid Yates bars like I would a Chugger with leprosy, but for the sake of a quick lunch, out the rain, and with a nice view of the river, why not give it a bash. And ye know what. It was pretty nice. This one is situated alongside the River Ouse, so if you're lucky enough to get a window seat you have a beautiful view of the waterside and bridge.

    They do various meals in their 2 for £8.95 deal, and I was sure the mother would plump for her usual, scampi, and chose a burger accordingly. No. This time she wanted a chicken wrap, from the lunch and a drink deal. Fine! I'll have the steak and onion panini. Oh yes! Great choice. Needed a bit of sauce, or some such, other than just cheese, to bring together the steak and onion, but it was cooked perfectly, and very tasty, with not a bit of fat to be found. I had a red wine to match, and it was acceptable for the house special.  

    All in all it was a not bad place to get a spot of lunch. You wouldn't catch me there on a night out though! Bomber shots and pop music just ain't my scene.

    Decent enough place. Very big. Big bar. Lots to chose from and usually have offers on for drinks. Does food too.

    Very very busy, 30 minute wait for food, but cheap and cheerful, a nice alternative to all the Wetherspoons springing up all over.
    Two meals for £8 is well worth a visit, especially with a decent bottle of chilled rose for under a fiver!

    Gross and very dirty place! Tables were grimy and dirty, floor was nasty. They put a ton ice in the drinks and have rude staff. Food, so so to not so great. The only good thing is the location.

    There are much nicer beer gardens to sit in, but the prices are this place's saving grace - really really cheap. I like a bar where they charge 25p for a lime and soda - woop!
