Welcome to The Half Moon Inn

Strensall, York North Yorkshire

Sam and the team welcome you to The Half Moon Inn, situated in the heart of Strensall. We pride ourselves on our warm welcoming atmosphere, serving good quality drinks and food to both the local community and visitors to the village. We are a dog friendly pub and have a cafe open Monday's, Thursday's, Friday's and Saturday's. So please join us for a drink and bring your best friend along...

The pub was rebuilt in 1803 which replaced a much older building, which had its own brew house and kiln.
Back to the present day, we have both BT and Sky sports showing over 4 large screens in the back sports bar.
To the front, we have our lounge. A place to sit and relax with a perfectly poured drink and maybe a bite to eat.

We look forward to welcoming you soon!

France vs England (World Cup)

France vs England (World Cup)

Coverage of the third-place play-off, which takes place at Miami Stadium in the USA. This is a match likely to feature several squad players, as the managers give those who have patiently waited their turn the chance to end the tournament on a high. France were expected to reach the final, but were soundly beaten by Spain in the semi-finals, and this represents Didier Deschamps' final match in charge of Les Bleus. England blew a glorious chance to reach a second World Cup final, but let slip a 1-0 lead against Argentina, after Anthony Gordon's opener had put them on their way against the defending champions

19th July, 2026
England v India (Cricket England ODI)

England v India (Cricket England ODI)

Coverage of the third and final ODI of the series from Lord's Cricket Ground in London. The hosts are looking for their first series victory in this format since a 2-1 win at home in 2018. That success was only England's second ODI series win in their last nine attempts against their visitors. Since then India have won three series on the trot, as well as coming out on top in seven of the last nine meetings between the two sides.

Spain vs Argentina (World Cup)

Spain vs Argentina (World Cup)

Coverage of the final, which takes place at New York/New Jersey Stadium in the USA. Spain reached only their second World Cup final by defeating tournament favourites France with a masterclass in their semi-final, winning 2-0 and completely nullifying a disjointed French outfit with ease. They won on their only other appearance in the final, against the Netherlands in 2010, and start as favourites against the defending champions. Argentina are aiming to become only the third nation in history to win back-to-back world crowns, following on from Italy in the 1930s, and Brazil in 1958 and 1962, but will need to be at their very best against the Spaniards. The South Americans came from behind in the last 16 against Egypt and again against England in the semi-finals, with their fight and team spirit making up for weaknesses elsewhere
