Woody's Tavern. in Ryedale

just such a warm welcoming place we had cat fritters and fries some patron's just wont sit down and have some sort of weird obsession with mud you doo need to book tho

Had an interesting tip of a place just outside Malton, North Yorkshire. The place was Woody's Tavern. I was unsure what to expect as it was quite hidden away. My first impression of the very much biker themed bar with it's motorcycle parts hanging from the walls was, it looked to be trying a bit to hard. There was at the time just myself, the landlord and one other patron a surly chap called Andrew. The landlord though not the tallest in stature was reasonably welcoming. There was a TV on playing some antiquated rock music. On the tables were nibbles, one of which looked a lot like mud i didn't like to ask and presumed it was some local dish. After a few drinks the atmosphere became quite pleasant, a change from the initial hostility. Not a bad place, will probably try it again sometime.

Having heard of this fine drinking establishment i thought i would give it a try. My first impression was not that favourable. I found the floor somewhat dirty and the obvious motorcycle parts adorning the walls a bit cluttered and trying to hard. There was only one other patron drinking there and he looked quite aggressive and not very talkative. I presumed it was his Turkish/Yorkshire way. The landlord though not very tall seemed a bit odd and appeared to have what looked like mud stuck in his teeth. After a few drinks the mood lifted and I found the pair quite amenable and a good night ensued. On leaving I was told to 'F' off and that this was a local means of saying fair well. An interesting evening.
