The Hairy Fig - Fossgate

Fossgate is one of my favourite streets in York and it has much to commend it. It is the location of one my favourite pubs; in fact I bought the house I live in because it is only twelve minutes walk to the Blue Bell. As well as some fine restaurants like Harvilles and interesting buildings the street now boasts a delicatessen selling some good quality foods. It is run by Susan Hardy who also runs the Blue Bell with her husband Jim. Sales of one of their best selling lines, a quality ice cream has been interrupted by the breakdown of the brand new freezer that had only been working for a few days. Best of luck getting a replacement. If the same level of enthusiasm and interest is generated as there is at the Blue Bell this should soon become a thriving little business.
