Ye Olde John O'Gaunt
Excellent pub I've been in a few times on day trips to Lancaster. Warm welcome. Good real ale. I can imagine some will say it's expensive when there is a wetherspoons round the corner but nobody has to go in if they don't want to. Sometimes live music and open mic. Good atmosphere. Hilarious old photos on wall of old patrons including Jim Bowen.

Ha, Jim Bowen!
The name alone elicits endless mirth.

John o'Gaunt is apparently one of my ancestors.

Blimey! Great grand father or a cousin situation?

I've got a mate whose family line includes one of Jack the Rippers victims, Catherine Eddowes.
