Re-opening date announced for The Ebor Inn at Bishopthorpe
The Ebor Inn at Bishopthorpe will open on Wednesday May 13, the same day as York Racecourse stars racing for its Dante Festival.
The Sam Smith’s pub will be managed by Sally Watkins, whose father Gordon Watkins ran the pub to much acclaim for nearly 40 years until his sad dead from Covid in 2021, aged 71.

Sally Watkins to re-open Ebor Inn in Bishopthorpe in days
For several years the pub remained closed, and after short period of being open, closed again last year.
During the latest closure the brewery then carried out renovations to the premises, which date back to the mid-1700s, including removing white rendering to expose the original brick, giving it a whole new look.
When she announced her plans to take on the pub, Sally Watkins added on social media that she planned to re-open in time for start of the racing.
Sally posted on the pub’s Facebook page last night: “SIX sleeps and COUNTING until we OPEN.”
