Pub company toasts its second acquisition

All Points North Pub Company, a new Yorkshire based pub business, has made its second acquisition, The York in Sheffield.

All Points North Pub Co is a new joint venture pub company set up by Steve Holt founder of Kirkstall Brewery and Ed Mason, founder of Five Points Brewing and Whitelock’s Ale House.

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.

The York will showcase Kirkstall and Five Points beers alongside guest Sheffield craft and independent breweries, drinks and food suppliers.

Mason said “We are pleased 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.”

Holt said: “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.”

Kane Yeardley added: “We are thrilled to be handing over the ropes to All Points North Pub Co. The York has a very special place in our hearts and we’re confident they will do a fantastic job.

All Points North will be keeping the existing front of house and kitchen teams, and will continue to trade the pub before a refurbishment planned for summer 2024.

The York pub follows on the heels of the company’s recent acquisition of the Grade II-listed Victoria & Commercial pub in Leeds city centre, which is due to re-open in autumn 2024 following a refurbishment.

Meanwhile, Holt recently added the North Brew Co brands to his growing portfolio of beer brands.
