York - Pub and Restaurant Recommendations Please

[PlacidCasual]

Hi Peeps

I'm looking for a few recommendations to take some overseas colleagues to a few characterful pubs in York. I've been several times and know my way around ok but I've only been with the kids in tow so good real ale pubs was not hte highest priority.

I'm thinking of going to the Kings Head the Sam Smiths pub next to the river but a few other suggestions would be cool.

Also any restaurant recommendations? There will be 8-12 of us based on normal attendance we haven't done a curry in a long while but anything mid priced and fun would be cool too.

In advance thanks for any suggestions.

Think it is still flooded by the Kings head mate, depends on when you are coming but hopefully will go down soon.

Yeah it has been flooded last 2 times I've been to York. This isn't for a few months so hopefully better by then.

My current list of possible boozers are House of the Trembling Madness, Kings Arms, Pinvini, Golden Fleece, Three Tuns and Blue Boar.
Considering Trembling and Viceroy for food. Not sure How much time I'll have so I might try and organise an activity to mix in with the pub crawl. But need to be sensible we all have to work next day.
