Eagle and Child, unless it's just a pub pub and not a food pub and then I'd guess Pivni.
But my first two suggestions should be checked out while you are there Bobby
Yes they did both look good. I looked them up after you mentioned them.
As for these guesses…wrong on both counts so here is your clue…
‘Make sure that male sheep doesn’t go out of that gate!!’.

If my detective skills are anything to go by (They shouldn't be) that's a pizza place Bobby

Nooooo it’s not two guys two girls and a pizza place, it’s a PUB!

I thought you were thinking of The Block at Goodramgate, so you could have an Old York pizza slice
Right, so I have to think of a pub, in York, with a ram, a gate and watching it not going through the said gate (Or at the very least being cautious about it)…

Well you guessed my clue right, just not the actual premises. What else is around that area?
I’m trying to find that YouTube video I watched sometime last year. This guy went to all of the pubs in York and had a pint in every single one.

Well there's The Cross Keys at one end of that street and The Old White Swan at t'other.
I'm a David Mitchell fan and so I'm going with the Swan

I’ve been to The White Swan before, yes I have! The last time I was in York. I ate there too. The food wasn’t amazing but it was a nice pub to just sit and read in.
However and alas, neither of these are correct this time. Here’s another clue, the first part of its name is regal.

Some people think that The Golden Slipper has a regal name Bobby, so I suppose it could be there
It's next door to a dodgy place though where a woman and her baby try to block people from getting in there and having a pint. So watch out if that's where you are going

No that is not it!
It’s also not the Kings Arms…I will however be going there again as it’s a lovely pub by the river. Lots of people leave it a bad review as they claim they get abused by the staff, but I only ever have a positive experience whenever I go.

No. ONE FINAL CLUE…
A woman and her baby (mentioned earlier in this thread) may well impede my progress after all.
There. I’m sure you can get it from that.

Well, rumour has it that if you run quick from the corner with Hidden Hearing on it - you can get into the Royal Oak deftly Bobby
It's the getting back out that becomes the problem
Right, here's how I would have gone about giving a clue for there…
Where the good male ram bolts right away from the massacre safari, resting beneath a monarch's tree is where you can mend your calibre spasms from running.
I think you should take both blues and a map of York onto the main boards proper Bobby and see which clue leads the most people to the correct location

That sounds like a really fun game and an ace challenge to present to the boards as a way of breaking up their day with a mental challenge! However they all ignore me on there so there’s probably not much point.
So the Royal Oak do a three course menu for £22.50. I have decided that I shall have calamari for staters, sticky toffee pudding for dessert. I am however torn between fish and chips or steak and ale pie for main.

Fish and chips or steak and ale pie
I suppose you'll just need to see how you feel on the day Bobby. Don't commit and then if a special shows up that you weren't expecting and it tickles your fancy you could give that a go
I'm a sucker for pie me, but I also love a food fish and chips.
I'd probably go for a quick pint the lunchtime before and have a scout about to see what they each look like straight out of the kitchen and onto customers tables. I'd make my mind up that way
But if it's a Monday ditch the fish idea. You don't get fresh fish on a Monday

That is a very good idea to investigate beforehand. I also like the idea of the specials board possibly taking my fancy.
I WAS leaning towards the fish actually, but on second thoughts best not. I mean I’m having calamari for starters and that might have been TOO MUCH SEAFOOD!!

Calamari isn't really a fish though Bobby
You have it battered, with lemon and a beer. It's like crisps but better for you
I don't think some squid rings can spoil a nice plate of fish and chips
Keep an open mind, some of the best things are discovered that way

I shall see how the mood swings me doth the time. I’m just watching a video from a channel called ‘Real Ale Craft Beer’ and he’s going around all the old historical pubs of York. On day two he decided to climb up Clifford’s Tower. I myself have been up Clifford’s Tower as a boy. He did struggle getting up these steps though in Clifford’s Tower! I think that he struggled with these steps because he drinks a lot of beer and it’s not good for you.

He probably thought he was at the The House of Trembling Madness in Stonewall
Whoever put a pub above a beer shop with stairs like that should be investigated Bobby
