This was a busy, friendly pub in Selby. It is a lovely traditional pub that benefits from the cheaper prices that craft union offer. Not a lot more to add to be honest, I would be happy to revisit and happy to recommend!!

New owners are rude, they’ve ruined what used to be my local. Due to their own issues they are abrupt with customers including myself and make it an unpleasant environment. I have never once done anything within the establishment to warrant this kind of behaviour and I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve been in to the premises since the previous manager left over a year ago. If you want pleasant bar staff and a pint in a pub with a welcoming, friendly atmosphere then I would avoid the griffin

The griffin staff were absolutely amazing. This is the first time I’d been for a drink in selby since I’ve moved here and I’ve never felt so welcome in a pub. Thomas was a star, he remembered our drinks when we came in and gave us the best experience we could have had. There was a group of 6 of us and he made sure we all had a laugh and got involved with each and every one of us. Will definitely be drinking again, is 100% worth the 5 star reviews this pub gets! Kaylie was also lovely, she made sure we were all okay and showed us around the bar and to where the best seats were watch the game.

At the Griffin there is GREAT staff, always nice to talk to. When served you will get served very quickly, always showing football and never fails to get a good atmosphere if important games (especially when its international). If no sports are on etc it is the perfect place to just come and just chill with friends or family. Great prices on drinks compared to other places and have some good deals 😉

Worked here for 4 years.. now I can’t brag about the beer or prices because I’d be bias. but I will make mention about the manager. It’s not everyday you get a person who’s heart has remained in a pub. He goes the extra mile to make sure the customers are happy. This is why the Griffin is the pub it is, it’s not just a pub or a work place it’s a pub that has one big family with the customers at the heart of it.

Myself and my pregnant wife booked a baby shower here. My wife said on the way home the only reason she didn't excuse herself to the bathroom to cry was because our guests would obviously be able to tell that she had an episode. It had to be one of the most manic and stressful events we've ever had. The complete opposite the baby shower or carvery ad they have on Facebook. It started in the morning. My pregnant wife woke to a message confirming we'd ordered the 'hot pork sandwiches' but we agreed a carvery in earlier messages. We were relieved they could do it but a little taken a back especially since they were confirming food the morning of implying they had not prepared anything yet having 3 events that day. Our families traveled hours with under 2s and they included some vulnerable adults too. When it was clear that the previous event was overruning and the elder members of our group got tired feet I made my way to the bar and explained that my guests have no where to sit, that the previous event is still ongoing. The barmade lethargically explained that the previous baby shower had started late. Then stopped talking... I informed the barmade that this was not my problem and I had a large party of guests that need a seat. She said "give me 5 minutes" I said okay and then she said "want any drinks" and I said "no, we have nowhere to sit with them". It was very awkward stood right next to the other folks baby shower whilst they made eyes with us confused. We were chatting to someone from their party that said in actual fact they were not late it was due to the baby shower before them overruning. So the bar staff out right lied to me. Here is a summary of some crazy and honestly comedic horror that followed: - My gluten free grandmother could not be catered for. When asking a staff member to explain to the vulnerable adult that they couldn't have food at the restaurant and why they refused to do so. This was after confirming 3 times with the venue that they could cater to her needs. She had to be taken to another restaurant for food completely embarrassing me and my wife. She sat and watched as everyone else ate. Shocking! There was a morrisons within a stones throw away they could have gone to for bits. My little nan cried in her hotel room for being such a bother but we did everything we could to ensure the restaurant had enough time to cater to her. Mortifying. - They said the reason for the lack of food was that everyone was taking too big a portion. It's one yorkshire per person. We were not told this would be the case and assumed as the ad says "generous portions" they would be generous which again is a complete lie. - We were told they would restock the food once it was empty but they only restocked the mash. So various people didn't get any food at all. Many people got takeaway and went else where after. - We were sold a cup of tea, when we asked for milk they said they had non due to it expiring yesterday.😂 - My guests had to clear all tables before we could sit down. The dishes remained visible for the entire duration of our stay. - When they say carvery they do not mean Toby style slicing of meat with unlimited veg. They mean a joint and a few chicken breasts cooked and covered in gravy limited veg. - The staff seemed too scared to come to our tables there was no expert coordination. I had to ask for everything every step of the way. - There was no cutlery due to dishes left by the previous event. - Cups and plates dirty. Overall I have to say I feel a bit scammed by their ads; we feel like we managed ourselves, could have made better food, cleaned our own tables and we served ourselves food. We legit feel like we paid £290 to sit at a table. We feel as if the restaurant overbooked themselves and left no room between bookings to clean up. We're rude. Lied to us and we're not accommodating as they said they were. We're extremely disappointed and will not be back.
