Cittie of Yorke, WC1

The wonderful mediaeval pastiche run by Sam Smiths, an over the top extravaganza of mediaevalness, all completely fake but a splendid interior all the same. Not much more to say, it’s a Sam’s pub so the drinks choice is limited, my OBB was fine but not the best example I’ve drunk in or out of Yorkshire.

A long time since I last visited here but as mentioned below there has been no discernible change over the last couple of decades, prices aside. The splendid interior is certainly worth half an hour of anyone's time to absorb, less so the usual beers to be found in a Sam Smiths pub. There was a steady stream of non drink buying tourists just taking pictures, the girls behind the bar seemed unmoved by the activity, I'm not sure Humphrey would be so languid should he venture down south.

Fine pub worth visiting, very different. Described well below

Impressive pub which was on my hit list for the day. Well described below but I especially liked the enormous vats above the bar. Sam Smiths beers so no surprises but I don't go in many Smiths pubs so I enjoyed an OBB. Well worth a visit.
