Spire Brewery’s first pub, The Britannia on Ward Street, New Tupton, opened for business in August 2007.
Landlord at “The Brit” is Barry Dobson, yet another ex-teacher and long time friend of David McLaren’s - as well as being a valued home-brewing colleague and chief taster from University days!
One of the priorities on Barry’s list was to entirely refurbish the interior, which he is now proud to say is almost complete and looking very handsome! Next - the exterior...
Once these improvements are completed, Barry also has plans to install a fully operational kitchen so that he can offer a range of freshly-prepared food.
