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 nephew 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]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Beer</span> Alcoholic drink made from fermented cereal grains

Beer is an alcoholic beverage produced by the brewing and fermentation of starches from cereal grains—most commonly malted barley, although wheat, maize (corn), rice, and oats are also used. The fermentation of the starch sugars in the wort produces ethanol and carbonation in the beer. Beer is one of the oldest alcoholic drinks in the world, the most widely consumed, and the third most popular drink after water and tea. Most modern beer is brewed with hops, which add bitterness and other flavours and act as a natural preservative and stabilising agent. Other flavouring agents, such as gruit, herbs, or fruits, may be included or used instead of hops. In commercial brewing, natural carbonation is often replaced with forced carbonation.
