At a glance
The Half Moon Inn is a village pub in Strensall, serving food and drinks in a relaxed setting.

It is a practical choice for a casual meal, a drink or an evening following televised sport.

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.
