The York Sheffield acquired by team behind Leeds’ oldest pub
The York Sheffield has been taken over by the team behind Whitelock’s Ale House, widely considered to be the oldest pub in Leeds.
All Points North Pub Co, which runs Leeds pubs Whitelock’s and The Turk’s Head alongside several other Yorkshire venues, have revealed they have acquired the charming Victorian boozer.
The York is a free-of-tie Victorian public house in the Broomhill area of Sheffield and has been acquired from Sheffield-based True North Brew Co.
All Points North will be keeping on the existing front of house and kitchen teams, and will continue to trade at the pub before a refurbishment planned for Summer 2024.
The Yorkshire based pub company is the new joint venture pub company set up by Kirkstall Brewery founder Steve Holt and Ed Mason, the founder of Five Points Brewing and Whitelock’s Ale House.
Speaking on the acquisition of The York Sheffield, Whitelock’s founder Ed Mason said: “We are delighted to be spreading our wings to Sheffield and for The York to be joining our growing portfolio of pubs.
“Kane and his team at True North have done a great job of establishing the York as a welcoming and popular pub in Broomhill and we look forward to building on their achievements”
Steve Holt commented: “Ed and I believe in running friendly, welcoming pubs with an emphasis on a wide range of well-kept beer and a quality food menu – respecting the pub’s history, supporting local suppliers and providing a warm welcome to a diverse range of the local community”.
