The pub was well-known for supporting local breweries with 8 cask and 10 keg ales with permanent beers and ever changing guest ales, featuring Black Sheep, Leeds Brewery, Great Heck, Okell’s and York Brewery. 


Back in 2013, they extended in tot he building next door adding a dining room, and underwent a refurbishment which involved an overhaul of the toilets, and the installation of a beer display cabinet to better showcase the pub’s bottled range and the addition of new seating.


The building next door, into which Brigantes expanded, was previously Relay Recruitment, but had been empty for more than a year at the time.
The pub last underwent a refurb after a fire caused by a tumble dryer forced it to close for a short while in February 2018.
