It is easy to get lost in the lanes connecting the old streets. From the front door of the Minster walk along the right hand side and half way along turn down to the right and then quick left to enter High Petergate. Walk down a little to turn right down Grape lane.
Down here on the right is Thirteen Thirty One. Further on at the corner is the rear entrance to The Slug and Lettuce. Come out of the other entrance and turn right and walk around the corner to Little Stonegate to find Stonegate Yard and opposite it, Bobo Lobo.
Addition - You could wander further along to Kennedys.
Returning to The Slug & Lettuce walk on and discover Oscars's on the right. Return again to the long Slug and Lettuce entrance and opposite it find a small alley called Finkle St. Walk down this alley and at the end come across Roman Bath and, almost, next door to it The Three Cranes. Cross over the square and go down Parliament St turning first right into Market St to find The Burns Hotel.
Stonegate Yard is a pub brasserie along Little Stonegate. The entrance down an archway takes you to a large heated courtyard which is full of tables and chairs. A door to the left takes you into the main building with a small bar straight in front of you. There is seating to the right and through to the left with more upstairs.
