They say the right operator for Gibsons will have extensive experience in a similar hospitality business. And they will have a clear vision for their food and drinks menu and marketing strategy and can create a memorable experience for their customers.

In a statement Star said: “Subject to recruiting a new licensee, we would like to undertake a major refurbishment to enable the reopening of Gibsons in York. Gibsons is a beautiful old pub in a prominent location inside the city walls on Micklegate. It benefits from lots of passersby.

"The works would upgrade Gibsons throughout – whilst retaining its character and charm – turning it into a great quality pub serving excellent food and drink.

"It would appeal to a wide range of people including local residents and visitors to the city. In terms of layout, it would have bar, dining and lounge areas.

"The pub also has a south facing garden that would be revamped as part of the project and private accommodation for the licensee.
