Local tip
The lounge offers a calmer alternative to the sports bar when televised matches are being shown.

The Half Moon Inn is a village pub in Strensall, serving food and drinks in a relaxed setting. The pub combines a front lounge for sitting and talking with a separate sports bar at the rear, giving it two distinct spaces for different kinds of visits. It is a practical choice for a casual meal, a drink or an evening following televised sport.

The lounge provides a calmer place to settle with a drink or something to eat. The food offer is centred on straightforward pub dining rather than a formal restaurant experience, while the bar caters to visitors looking for a social setting. The overall style is informal and welcoming, with the pub serving both the local community and visitors to the village.

Sports are a notable part of the pub’s character. The rear sports bar shows coverage across four large screens, with BT and Sky sports available. That arrangement makes the space suitable for following major fixtures while sharing a drink with friends, although the lounge offers an alternative for those seeking a more relaxed setting.

The Half Moon Inn is dog friendly, so dogs are welcome alongside their owners. This adds to its easy-going pub atmosphere and makes it suitable for a stop with a canine companion. The venue works for a range of occasions, from an informal drink and a bite to eat to an evening focused on televised sport.

Located at 3 The Village, the pub is part of Strensall’s local community and offers a straightforward village-pub experience near York. Food, drinks, lounge seating, sports viewing and dog-friendly access form the main parts of its appeal. Table bookings are available for visitors who prefer to arrange seating ahead of a visit.
