“I think it’s the selection and quality of beers that has done it. We’ve got a great team here, too.
“Lots of pubs have closed in Wath and we wanted to create somewhere people could enjoy real ale again.
“We also try to buy direct from brewers and to support Yorkshire breweries.”
She added: “Pubs are a hub of the community and we wanted to bring that back to Wath.
“We also wanted to create somewhere women felt comfortable coming alone.”
