Yates’s Wine Lodge

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.

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

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.

Young, clean place. With great yummy burger at good price. Good for all ages from 1 – 45.

Young cheap and cheerful :)

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!

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!

Yates’s is also quite a popular place to go, particularly as there are always various different drinks on offer for reasonable prices. There are plenty of places to sit so you can sit and chat with your friends or whomever you may be out with, and not need to feel you have to shout over one another as although there is chart music playing, it is not at noise level that means you cannot be heard.

its a very lively, pub full of some rather strange people? like the odd fella you always find in certain places dancing to the music thats in his head!
atmosphere is always good, but it gets that packed, and the floor can be gritty with broken glass towards the end of the night?
a little to rough and ready for me, to relax in, as its normally full of large groups of men and women on the pull. and its perfectly lit, by the struggling 40watt bulbs dotted about the pub? but it depends as at other times they replace it with a 100 watt bulbs. it used to be considered as the place to go, now no one really mentions going. (luckily)
they do do food, and its standard nothing that impressive. had a breakfast here once. they do meal deals at times as well as drink deals.
the toilets are basic and clean, though on a weekend, avoid! unless your wearing wellies! and somebody elses at that!
photo looks like its of the back entrance! as the front entrance is big glass doors
