The Maltings is a historic pub on Tanner's Moat in York.

The pub opened in 1842 as the Railway Tavern, a short walk from York railway station, which had opened the previous year. The opening of Lendal Bridge nearby increased its trade, although the relocation of York railway station reduced it. In light of these changes, in 1885 it was renamed the "Lendal Bridge Hotel". [1]

The building had rooms for travellers, and was sometimes referred to as an inn. It was also occasionally used to hold inquests into deaths. In 1902, it was recorded as having a smoke room, a tap room, and a serving bar. [1]

The pub was acquired by Bass Brewery, [1] which sold it in 1992 to Anita Adams. Its new landlord, Shaun Collinge, the son-in-law of Adams, remained in post for more than thirty years. [2] The building was extended in 2012, following which it was painted black, leading Nathen Amin to describe it as "one of York's most distinctive pubs". [1] It stocked a wide range of real ales, up to 60 a month, leading to it regularly appearing in the Campaign for Real Ale's Good Beer Guide . For two years in a row, it was named national Cask Ale Pub of the Year by the Morning Advertiser . [2] In 2023, The Guardian described it as Britain's "strictest pub", based on its prohibition of singing, hen and stag parties, fancy dress, and swearing. [3] [4]

The pub was put up for sale in 2023, at a price of £1.5 million, reduced in 2024 to £1.35 million. [5]

A rail ale trail is a marketing exercise in the United Kingdom that is designed to promote tourism to a rural area, by encouraging people to visit a series of pubs that are close to stations along a railway line. Participants are rewarded for visiting the pubs by train. In doing this they increase the number of passengers on the railway and bring money into the local economy. The scheme is often supported by the Campaign for Real Ale. The beer is usually brewed locally and many of the pubs offer food as well.
