Yorkshire and the humber
ALEXANDRA
Known for once being a 19th century hotel, we’re based in a historic, beautifully restored building. With its grand lounges, smoking rooms and a rear stable, Alexandra was once used as a boarding house to provide R&R for the RAF pilots in WW2. Enjoy sweeping views of the Stray, Fountains Abbey, the Yorkshire Dales, as well as Harrogate’s best-kept secret — Montpellier Quarter

THE CROSS KEYS
Dating back to the late 1800s, The Cross Keys is a snug and traditional Victorian pub. Located in the main central shopping street of Goodramgate, our pub is close to York Minster. This area was created in the Viking era and is chronicled through the history and magnificence of architecture, war, politics and social evolution, much of it documented by the nearby Minster and Jorvik Viking Centre.

HARKERS
You’ll find Harkers in Saint Helens Square — the city's historic Roman Praetorian Gate stood across where Harkers is now. Probably rebuilt around 300AD, the gate was the main entrance to the City of York. Part of this structure is exposed in the basement of our pub. Our name 'Harkers' is taken from 'Harker's Hotel', which stood in nearby St. Helen's Square.

THE OLD WHITE SWAN
The Old White Swan is a collection of buildings with a unique history that dates from the 16th Century. We are one of York's oldest pubs and are said to be haunted. Buildings at the rear of our courtyard date to medieval times and in 1781, the world's tallest man, Mr O'Brian, was exhibited here at the pub. O'Brian stood 8 feet tall and the then landlord charged onlookers a shilling.

THE PUNCH BOWL
Said to be haunted, The Punch Bowl has been a pub for over four centuries, or perhaps we should say pubs, as we have suffered two major fires. We have a historical connection with the Whig Party from the 17th Century. Punch was the preferred drink of the Whigs, whilst the Tories liked their claret. Any pub displaying a punch bowl sign was, therefore, declaring its political allegiance.
