New lease of life for Brinsworth pub

A PUB which closed last spring has reopened after a facelift—creating eight jobs.

The Sidings Pub in Brinsworth, has been taken over by Foxman Pubs, which aims to set up as many as six pubs in the area in the next three years.

The pub was officially opened by Brinsworth-born World Cup referee Howard Webb, who cut the ribbon and pulled a pint on its opening day.

Foxman Pubs has bought the freehold from Enterprise Inns and spent a six-figure sum doing it up.
