Best pubs with beer gardens in York

Ye Olde Starre Inne

This pub was built in 1644 and is believed to be the oldest pub in York and was used as a hospital in the English Civil War.

Now it is a popular choice for drinks and a meal while sitting in the little courtyard beer garden.

The pub has a four out of five rating from 1,650 reviews with people saying it’s very “charming” with “excellent” food.

One reviewer said: “Hidden behind one of the main shopping streets this Inn has great food and drinks.

“It is right in the heart of York and definitely one to visit.”

Lendal Cellars

Lendal Cellars has a rich history and outdoor space with tables where you can have some small plates or a pub classic dish.

Not only is there a beer garden, but you can also enjoy your pint in the cosy cellar with exposed brick walls and archways.

People love the “quirky” pub thanks to its “friendly” atmosphere and range of cocktails.

The Old Bank

The Old Bank offers a range of facilities including pool tables, dart board, board games, and foosball as well as events like quiz nights and bingo.

The Old Bank has a cute little courtyard with fairy lights and plants dotted around where you can enjoy a cocktail, beer, or simple soft drink during your visit.

The pub also offers a range of food from fish and chips and pizzas, to curries and loaded fries.

One reviewer on Tripadvisor said: “We had such a lovely time at Old Bank!

“The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, and the drinks were excellent.

“Our server, Isabelle, really made the experience special – she was so friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel looked after.

“It’s always nice when staff go that extra mile, and she did exactly that.

“We’ll definitely be coming back again soon!”

The All Blacks face one final test before taking on South Africa in Johannesburg – here’s how to watch

New Zealand face one final challenge before their four-match Test series with the Springboks gets underway, as they take on the Bulls in Pretoria on Saturday evening.

The All Blacks remain unbeaten on their tour of South Africa so far, with an opening 21-38 win over the Stormers in Cape Town followed by an emphatic 54-0 nilling of the Sharks in Durban earlier this week. But Dave Rennie’s side will be keen to finish their first run of franchise matches in similar style, with the Springboks awaiting them in Johannesburg next weekend.

Here’s everything you need to know to watch Saturday’s clash…

A statement from Heathrow Airport on X reads: “Flooding in the central terminal area has resulted in on-going road closures restricting access to Terminals 2 and 3.

“Passengers travelling to or from either of these terminals today must not travel by road. Passengers are strongly advised to use Heathrow Express, Elizabeth Line and Piccadilly Line rail services where possible.

“Any passengers that must travel by car must use Park and Ride, head to Terminals 4 or 5 and take free rail services from there, or change at local rail stations. Please allow extra time for your journey. Our teams are working to resolve the situation as quickly as possible, we apologise for any disruption caused.”

There is no uniform approach to youth development among Premier League clubs.

International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) figures for 2025-26 show club-trained players accounted for 16.2% of Manchester City‘s Premier League minutes, followed by Chelsea on 15.5% and Brighton on 12.5%.

CIES defines a club-trained player as someone registered with their current club for at least three full seasons, or 36 months, between the ages of 15 and 21. That means an 18-year-old recruited from an EFL academy can still go on to qualify as club-trained if he spends the next three seasons with his new Premier League club.

At the other end of the scale, Tottenham‘s club-trained players accounted for just 0.1% of league minutes, while Bournemouth, Brentford and Burnley were all at zero.

Recruiting from EFL and Scottish academies therefore offers another way of building that development pipeline.

Rather than relying solely on players who have been with a club since childhood, a Premier League side can identify somebody developed elsewhere, bring them into their under-21 structure at 17, 18 or 19 and take responsibility for the final stages of their development.

The numbers do not yet show a relentless increase. There were 18 such moves in 2023-24, meaning this summer’s 14 cannot be described as unprecedented.

But the concentration of 18-year-olds and League One players suggests clubs are becoming increasingly precise about the market they are targeting.

For EFL clubs, that raises questions over how long their best youngsters can realistically be retained.

For Premier League clubs, the calculation is different. The next Watkins, Eze, Wharton or Semenyo may already be somewhere further down the pyramid. The challenge is finding them before everybody else does.

Crews were called to incidents in Northallerton, Acomb, Monk Fryston, York, Selby and Scarborough, with several alerts found to involve supervised barbecues or braziers.

One fire in a York field was believed to have started after a pile of leaves and organic matter self-combusted.

A crew from Northallerton responded to reports of smoke at about 7.08pm, which turned out to be a supervised barbecue.

An hour later, Acomb firefighters were called to a similar incident involving a brazier. However, due to embers coming from it, the crew extinguished the fire using a hose.

A crew from Selby responded to reports of smoke coming from a controlled burn in the Monk Fryston area at 8.14pm, which turned out to be a false alarm.

Later, at 8.39pm, York firefighters responded to a fire in a field.

The fire turned out to be a pile of leaves and organic matter, which was believed to have caught fire due to self-combustion. Crews used a hose to dampen down the area.

At 9.04pm, Scarborough firefighters were called to a fire in the rear garden of a property in Eastfield.

This turned out to be a controlled burn in a brazier and advice was given to the person in attendance.

At around 9.12pm, York firefighters were called to another garden fire.

This was also a small fire in a brazier, under supervision, and advice was given.

At 4.39am, York firefighters responded to an automatic fire alarm activation, which turned out to be a false alarm.

The shallower an earthquake is, the more destructive its effects on the surface tend to be.

Strong aftershocks were felt in the same area, including one with a magnitude of 6.1.

Video taken at the port in Maumere showed large chunks of concrete breaking off the terminal building onto passengers waiting to board an inter-island ferry. Some were thrown into the sea when the gangway to a ship collapsed.

Emanuel Melkiades Laka Lena, governor of East Nusa Tenggara province, told a news conference that they were killed in their sleep by collapsing rubble.

Arnold Welianto, who lives in Talibura, a village near the coastline in Sikka, East Nusa Tenggara, said he was awoken by the “very strong shaking”, adding: “I was startled awake and immediately went to my child’s room.”

He told the BBC that many people had already fled into the hills.

“Some other residents were standing along the roadside because the sea had also receded,” he explained. “The water remained low for quite some time, so everyone panicked and ran – I went around to the community health centre, and the people there had already been evacuated.”

A tsunami warning was issued but lifted around three hours after the initial jolt when no significant sea level rise was detected.

A stream of people could be seen moving inland on motorbikes after authorities issued a tsunami warning. BNPB said 2,000 people had evacuated or relocated on their own.

It said three fatalities had been recorded in Sikka province, six in Manggarai province, and five in East Manggarai province.

At least two others had been seriously injured and 11 slightly injured, the disaster agency added.

The original boathouse dates back to 1900

A Cambridge University college is looking to expand its boathouse. Clare College’s boathouse was constructed between around 1900.

Located on the River Cam near Cutter Ferry Lane, it is home to Clare Boat Club and Clare Hall Boat Club. The college said that the 120-year-old building has become “outdated”.

As a result, Clare College plans to extend and renovate the boathouse. In documents explaining the plans, it said that a workshop that is part of the building has “deteriorated”. There is also a “lack of insulation” and “unsatisfactory” shower and changing facilities.

The college also said there is “subsidence on the hard landscaping”, as well as “cracking” brickwork. The plans to renovate and expand, if approved, will make “major improvements” to access, the documents said.

They added: “[There will be] protected and safer indoor racking for boats currently stored outside. Increased access to gym facilities for all three rowing clubs. Spacious and modern changing facilities, suitable for any future junior rowers in town rowing clubs.”

If approved, the college hopes to “echo and complement” the design of the original boathouse from 1900. It would use materials including darker-toned brick and zinc.

Clare College is currently holding a public consultation to gain the public’s views on the plans. The college is holding two events to give people a chance to view the plans.

These will be held on: Saturday, August 15, from 11am until 1pm and Thursday, September 3, from 7pm until 9pm. These will be held at the boathouse in Cutter Ferry Lane, CB1 1JN.

Werro survived an almighty scare on Thursday when she suffered a nasty fall in her semi-final, before later being reinstated in the competition.

Recovering impressively both physically and mentally from that shock, she showed great maturity to hold off Hodgkinson in the tense closing stages – while breaking a championship record that had stood since 1982.

“I knew I could be European champion one day. I hope to be faster and faster next year,” Werro said.

“When I was a child, my dad used to tell me I have to be a lion. I shouldn’t be shy and let other athletes go past me, so I decided to do a celebration with that when I crossed the line.”

In claiming her first senior international title, Werro has proven she is ready to rival the Briton for the sport’s biggest prizes for years to come.

“Audrey Werro is still young and that was a huge amount of pressure, even without the fall and the bruising,” former marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe told BBC TV.

“She pulled it together and took the race by the scruff of the neck, which I think Keely did intend for her to do – but she thought she could come back at her.

“Werro just had another gear.”

Hodgkinson jokingly removed her medal in disgust when asked how she felt after the final.

Despite her disappointment, this was her 12th senior international medal and she continues to progress her times, lowering her personal best in all but her injury-devastated 2025 season across the past four years.

Hodgkinson has long maintained that she has felt the world record is within her reach.

Going forward, she will be aware that may soon be required just to win the titles she craves.

The six-time major champion has every chance of eclipsing 15-time major champion Woods on the all-time PGA Tour earnings list.

Rory McIlroy has the opportunity to surpass the great Tiger Woods in the coming weeks – but one of his biggest rivals might beat him to it.

McIlroy is competing in the FedEx Cup playoffs this month, with huge prize money on offer for the world’s best players.

The Holywood star’s career earnings on the PGA Tour currently stand at a whopping $116,446,772.

And he has every chance of eclipsing 15-time major champion Woods on the all-time PGA Tour earnings list.

Woods, arguably the greatest golfer in history, currently leads the way with $120,999,166 to his name.

But McIlroy is just $4,552,394 behind Woods, a gap the 37-year-old could easily bridge this month.

This week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, players are competing for a $3.6million first prize before playing for the same amount at the BMW Championship in Missouri next week.

And if McIlroy has not surpassed Woods by then, he will have a huge opportunity at the season-ending Tour Championship later this month, where the winner will pocket $10million.

However, McIlroy could well be beaten to the punch by current world No.1 Scottie Scheffler.

Despite being seven years McIlroy’s junior, Scheffler has been the dominant player in world golf during a period in which prize money on the PGA Tour has skyrocketed.

The American has competed in just 167 PGA Tour events but trails McIlroy on the all-time earnings list by less than $100,000.
