THE owners of an historic York pub are looking to boost their business by building an extension.
An application to create a two-storey addition to The Maltings in Tanners Moat, which has served ale since the 19th century, has been handed in to City of York Council with the aim of providing extra space for customers.
If approved, a new smoking area will be created on a vacant patch of land between the pub and insurance firm Aviva’s Wellington Row base, together with more seats inside the building and a new kitchen.
In a planning statement submitted to the council, the pub’s agents, W R Dunn & Co, said: “The proposed extension provides an ideal opportunity to promote the growth of an established family-run business, adding value and contributing to the local economy.
“It will allow the pub to expand the commercial floor area and provide enhanced accommodation more suitable for a 21st-century public house with heritage dating back to the 19th century.
“The proposed addition will improve the east elevation of The Maltings and the currently vacant site visually, both from street level and from Lendal Bridge.”
The firm said the extension would be built in a style which would complement the existing pub and remove the need for smokers to stand in Tanners Moat.
Meanwhile, Punch Pub Company has also submitted an application to create an outdoor drinking area at the front of The Ainsty, in Boroughbridge Road, saying the three decked zones would be placed at a point which will not cause noise problems for neighbouring residents.
The council is expected to make a decision on both the proposed pub schemes next month.

Perhaps the owners can find time to amend their mispelt A board outside, which says "Now your wasting drinking time". "your" should read "you're" ie an abbreviated "you are."

Another pub I avoid. Over priced and preetenshuuuuuush. Landlord thinks he is the hardest man in York. I'd rather dive in the ouse in the middle of winter in just my Y-Fronts than drink in here!!!!

In my experience of going in The Maltings over the years I have found it a cliquey snobbish pub. I have been stood at the bar for ages and some 'regular' just pops in and gets served straight away. I have turned up at the place with 3 or 4 lads and been turned away by the landlord in a rude and arrogant manner. Oh and for you infomation - I am a paid up member of C.A.M.R.A so don't patronise me!!
